Although today’s generations are getting exposure to the Bruce Lee legacy through new TV documentary’s, video games, and MMA, there is a side of the legendary Martial Artist that deserves attention — Jeet Kune Do.

Jeet Kune Do, in many ways embodies the exact opposite of what we see in Lee’s movie action sequences.  Its simple, direct, and no-nonsense approach to combat don’t lend themselves to the flashy movements that moviegoers expect.

Yet, when examined closely one can see that Bruce Lee does, in fact take care to showcase much of his Jeet Kune Do methodology.  Perhaps the movies containing the most representative Jeet Kune Do sequences are Return of the Dragon and his Hollywood hit, Enter the Dragon.

Some of the techniques we see include his modified trapping, stop hits and stop kicks, elusive footwork, deceptive entries, broken rhythm, half beat timing, and tons more.

Grateful for having the martial arts inspiration from Bruce Lee and for having the opportunity of meeting his family!

It’s important to know how to separate the entertainment based theatrics from the real deal but it’s good to know that much of his JKD is carefully embedded within his movie combat sequences.

The enthusiast looking to start martial arts training and use some of that signature Bruce Lee inspiration, would benefit greatly by searching out a qualified Jeet Kune Do Instructor or a reputable school.

The BLF (Bruce Lee Foundation) presented the first of a series of books containing Bruce Lee’s original manuscripts.  With the process of de-acidification the papper is now assured to last intact for hundreds of years!

Comparing with last year’s Summit at Seattle, this time it was a much more intimate experience.  Closer to a Jeet Kune Do family.  Shannon Lee and the BLF invited the attendants to get into smaller groups with people we didn’t know, and this way interact and debate the different ideas regarding the future of Jeet Kune Do and the Bruce Lee Foundation.  Each group wrote its ideas in big paper sheets and then speak them out for all the attendants to hear.  After that Shannon posted the sheets in the wall as you can see in the picture above.

Most of the groups agreed about the need to educate the newer generations and continue promotion of  the Bruce Lee Legacy on a global scale.  As always a main theme was to define and preserve the original Bruce Lee teachings and at the same time respect the evolution of this living Martial Art.  As Shannon mentioned, Bruce Lee would express that once you put it in a box and say “This is Jeet Kune Do” it won’t be a living art anymore.

Victoria Vives with Tim Tackett

My favorite drill in the training was one from Tai Chi, where I had to push my opponent with the momentum created by my bodyweight. I started visualizing myself channeling all the energy around and then throwing it through my palm to push my drill partner. It worked! I felt like a video game character! AMAZING!!!! Love it!!!! Looking forward for more

I love how they are open to exploring other systems in order to continue enriching their understanding of the martial way.

In this book cover Tim Tackett and Bob Bremer
