Jeet Kune Do: is the core of our martial arts
philosophy that we teach in our school and it
is the scientific art of street fighting developed
by Bruce Lee. Lee developed a way of self
defense to end a fight that was simple, direct,
and economical.
Our goal in JKD is to help the average
person develop skills to:
•
Win and survive a real, no-rules street fight
•
Prepare for virtually any and every type of
violent situation
•
Overcome a much bigger, stronger and
more dangerous opponent.

REALITY BASED SELF DEFENSE
PHOENIX JEET KUNE DO offers higher level education in personal defense and street survival.
Located in Tempe AZ, we provide a safe comfortable and friendly environment
to learn self defense. We teach reality, not theory
In
the
past,
many
have
tried
to
define
JKD
in
terms
of
a
distinct
style:
Bruce
Lee's
kung-fu;
Bruce
Lee's
karate;
Bruce
Lee's
kickboxing;
Bruce
Lee's
system
of
street
fighting.
To
label
JKD
"Bruce
Lee's
martial
art"
is
to
completely
mistake
Bruce
Lee's
-
and
JKD's-meaning.
JKD's
concepts
simply
cannot
be
confined
within
a
single
system.
To
understand
this,
a
martial
artist
must
transcend
the
duality
of
"for"
and
"against,"
reaching
for
that
point
of
unity
which
is
beyond
mere
distinction.
The
understanding
of
JKD
is
the
direct
intuition
of
this
point
of
unity.
According
to
Bruce
Lee,
knowledge
in
the
martial
arts
ultimately
means
self-knowledge.
It
must
be
emphasized
that
Jeet
Kune
Do
is
merely
a
name,
a
mirror
reflecting
ourselves.
There
is
a
sort
of
progressive
approach
to
JKD
training,
but
as
Lee
observed:
"To
create
a
method
of
fighting
is
like
putting
a
pound
of
water
into
wrapping
paper
and
shaping
it."
Structurally,
many
people
mistake
JKD
as
a
composite
style
of
martial
art
because
of
its
efficiency.
At
any
given
time
Jeet
Kune
Do
can
resemble
Thai
boxing
or
wing
Chun
or
wrestling
or
karate.
Its
weaponry
resembles
Filipino
Escrima
and
kali;
in
long-range
application
it
can
resemble
Northern
Chinese
kung-fu
or
Savate.
According
to
Lee,
the
efficiency
of
any
style
depends
upon
circumstances
and
the
fighting
range
of
distance:
the
soldier
employs
a
hand
grenade
at
50
yards,
but
he
chooses
a
dagger
for
close-quarters
combat.
A
staff,
to
take
another
example,
is
the
wrong
weapon
to
take
to
a
fight
in
a
telephone
booth;
a
knife would again be the most appropriate weapon.
Jeet
Kune
Do
is
neither
opposed
or
unopposed
to
the
concept
of
style.
We
can
say
that
it
is
outside
as
well
as
inside
of
all
particular
structures.
Because
JKD
makes
no
claim
to
existing
as
a
style,
some
individuals
conclude
that
it
is
neutral
or
indifferent
to
the
question.
Again,
this
is
not
the
case,
for
JKD is at once "this" and "not this."
