Jeet Kune Do is a relatively new martial art, developed by the martial arts master, Bruce Lee.Bruce Lee began his martial arts career studying Wing Chun Kung Fu under grandmaster Yip Man in Hong Kong, and then taught his art in the U.S. as Jun Fan Kung Fu.
Lee began by taking the best and most practical aspects of Wing Chun and combining these with elements of western boxing; trapping and grappling; and influences from a variety of other martial arts.
This developed into a fighting style that he named Jeet Kune Do, the “Way of the Intercepting Fist”.
Jeet Kune Do is not a new style of kung-fu or karate.
