The term Jeet Kune Do was coined and put into use in 1967 by Bruce Lee in an attempt to put a name to his martial expression. Lee wrestled with putting a name to his art as he constantly veered away from any type of crystallization (and thereby limitation) of its essence, however, the simple need to refer to it in some concrete way won out and Jeet Kune Do was born.
The idea of intercepting is key to JKD, whether it be the interception of your opponents technique or his intent. The basic guiding principles are: simplicity, directness and freedom (the form of no form).
Research your own experience. Absorb what is useful. Reject what is useless. Add what is essentially your own. Bruce Lee
