− | + | “When I began to practice Kung Fu, a punch was just a punch. A kick was just a kick. Then on the day I turned twelve, my father sat me down and said ‘Jun-fan, we need to have a conversation about chi.’”—Bruce Lee | |

Jeet Kune Do began as a breakaway movement from Wing Chun. It was founded by Bruce Lee in 1967 to provide a practical martial art, free of superstition and traditional baggage. This rejection of tradition horrified Wing Chun, but they quickly moved to conciliation, making alliance with Jeet Kune Do by appealing to their sense of justice and heroism in the face of evil. But then in 1973, at the height of his fame, Bruce was arrested by the Shaolin for revealing dangerous secrets about the power of Kung Fu through his films. As far as anyone knows, he has been in the Shaolin prison ever since, though stories abound of his supposed escapes and escapades before being recaptured. | Jeet Kune Do began as a breakaway movement from Wing Chun.
