Jeet Kune Do is the martial arts and life philosophy of the late Bruce Lee.
Many people have misconceptions about the definition of what Jeet Kune Do is.
It is a philosophy, not a new style of martial art. It is not a religious philosophy, but philosophy about martial arts and expressing yourself naturally through martial arts.
The martial art that Bruce Lee developed as a vehicle to the heart of Jeet Kune Do is called; "Jun Fan Gung Fu".
Jun Fan Gung Fu is the foundation on which a student must build in order to develop his own personal Jeet Kune Do.
什么是截拳道？从字面理解，截拳道是指“在第一时间拦截的方式”。
截拳道是一门武术，同时也是已逝李小龙先生的人生观。
很多人对真正截拳道的准确定义有着不同程度的误解。
它代表一种人生哲学，而不是一门新的武术。它不是任何宗教哲学，而是关于武术和通过武术自然地表达和展示你自己的人生哲学。
“振藩工夫”是李小龙用来表达截拳道精髓的媒介。学习者必须掌握，并以此为根基，从而发展自己的“截拳道”。
Jun Fan Gung Fu is based heavily on Western Boxing, Wing Chun Gung Fu, Savate, and other martial arts that Bruce Lee researched before the time of his death. Since Bruce Lee's death, Jeet Kune Do has continued to be refined and developed as was Bruce Lee's wish.
Jeet Kune Do is not just another form of MMA, or different arts mixed together. It also is not simply modified Wing Chun. It has a definite progression and structure of learning, and it cannot be defined as simply a mixture or modification of other martial arts.
Jeet Kune Do's core value is simplicity, although Jeet Kune Do is not simple to explain. One must experience Jeet Kune Do to truly understand it.
振藩功夫是建立在西方拳击、永春拳、法式拳击等在他生前所研究过的武术的深厚基础之上。相继李先生的离世，截拳道被按照先生的愿望延续并进一步升华。
截拳道不是另一种形式的MMA,或者是将不同的武术混在一起。它更不是永春拳的改版。它有自己的一套学习系统，不能被简单地定义为其他武术的混合或是改进。
截拳道的核心价值是精简，尽管它本身并非被容易解释。每个人必须亲自去体会它才能真正明白。

The main idea of Jeet Kune Do is to break free from the restraints of classical martial arts and to be free to express yourself through martial arts as a human being. To not adhere to one strict style or rules, but to absorb what is useful from all combat systems and discard what is not.
截拳道的主旨是要打破传统武术的套路束缚，通过武术人性化、自由地表达你自己。不是去遵循一种严格的形式或规则，而是要从所有的格斗体系中取其精华，去其糟粕。
简而言之，要思路活跃。
To make it simple, to be open-minded.
"Empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless.....like water.
If you put water in a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot.
Water can flow, or it can crash. Be water my friend."
(BRUCE LEE)

“保持空灵之心，无形、无法，就像水一样。
水倒入杯中就成了杯子的形状，倒入瓶中就成为瓶子的形状，倒入茶壶中就成为茶壶的形状。
而水能载舟亦能覆舟。像水一样吧，我的朋友。”
（李小龙）

Our Favorite Bruce Lee Quotes:
"I believe in having a few pupils at one time as it requires a constant alert observation of each individual in order to establish a direct relationship. A good teacher can never be fixed in a routine... each moment requires a sensitive mind that is constantly changing and constantly adapting.
A teacher must never impose this student to fit his favourite pattern; a good teacher functions as a pointer, exposing his student's vulnerability (and) causing him to explore both internally and finally integrating himself with his being. Martial art should not be passed out indiscriminately."
"Too much horsing around with unrealistic stances and classic forms and rituals is just too artificial and mechanical, and doesn't really prepare the student for actual combat. A guy could get clobbered while getting into this classical mess. Classical methods like these, which I consider a form of paralysis, only solidify and constrain what was once fluid. Their practitioners are merely blindly rehearsing routines and stunts that will lead nowhere."
"There are lots of guys around the world that are lazy. They have
big fat guts. They talk about chi power and things they can do, but don't
believe it. Too often one of those big-belly masters will tell
you that his internal power has sunk to his stomach; he's not kidding, it is
sunk and gone! To put it bluntly, he is nothing but fat and ugly."
"The best fighter is not a Boxer, Karate or Judo man. The best fighter is someone who can adapt on any style. He kicks too good for a Boxer, throws too good for a Karate man, and punches too good for a Judo man."
"There is nothing better than free-style sparring in the practice of any combative art. In sparring you should wear suitable protective equipment and go all out. Then you can truly learn the correct timing and distance for the delivery of the kicks, punches, etc. It is a good idea to spar with all types of individuals--tall, short, fast, clumsy. Yes, at times a clumsy fellow will mess up a better man because his awkwardness serves as a sort of broken rhythm. The best sparring partner, though, is a quick, strong man who does not know anything; a madman who goes all out, scratching, grabbing, grappling, punching, kicking, and so on."
