Jeetkunedo, Jeet Kune Do, or JKD was founded by Bruce Lee (1940-1973) in 1967. Prior to 1967 Bruce was teaching what he called Jun Fan Gung Fu which was heavily based on Wing Chun Gung Fu. JKD has a strong foundation in western boxing and fencing unlike its predecessor. JKD is based on simplicity, directness and non classical movement (economy of motion).

Bruce Lee was an actor, martial artist, philosopher, film director, film producer, screenwriter, the founder of Jun Fun Fan Gung Fu, founder of Jeetkunedo, a cultural icon, and most of all the greatest martial artist of our time.
Bruce initially trained in Wing Chun Gung Fu, but later rejected the classical martial arts favoring a more scientific approach. In 1967 Bruce Lee coined the term Jeetkunedo "The Way of The Intercepting Fist", also known as JKD. This was his personal expression of martial arts based on his research and philosophy.
The direction and tone of his films changed and influenced martial arts and martial arts / action films around the world. Jeetkunedo is only one of Bruce Lee's many legacies that he left the world.
