Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do
Jeet Kune Do is an art for the individual. The art was made to expand, it is consisted of several techniques from several Asian styles but with an American way of evolution and roots. This was the art in which Bruce made to be fluid, no set patterns or set movements. He wanted an art that was as fluid as water and as effective and unpredictable as the anchient arts used to be. Jeet Kune Do was built on top of Bruce's base art Wing Chun Gung-Fu (which can be seen through many of the techniques of trapping, punch, footwork,etc).
Some of the importand rules in this martial way are :
1. Research you own experiences for the truth.
2. Absorb what is useful.
3. Reject what is useless.
4. Add specifically what is your own.
Jun Fan is Bruce Lee's chinese name. Jun Fan Martial Arts can't necessarily be separated from Jeet Kune Do, but it can be divided into three different aspects of fighting.. all of which are wrapped together in a form of fighting that was a middle point between Jeet Kune Do concepts and Bruce Lee's beginnings as a martial artist.
Jun Fan Kick Boxing
Jun Fan Kick Boxing mainly involves techniques and training methods from Muay Thai, Western Boxing, Filipino Boxing, French Savage and Western Fencing.
The range of this division is usually middle or long range attack.
Jun Fan Grappling
Another major part of the the Jun Fan Martial Arts is the use of Grappling techniques. As with the kick boxing phase there is a wide variety of offensive and defensive methods taught.
The Grappling range has five areas of concentration:
1)Locking and Submission
2)Choking and Strangulation
3)Pressure Point and Pain Compliance
4)Time Holds
5)Ground Hitting Tactics
This part of the Jun Fan Martial Arts can be a very important factor in self defence. As many "real life" self defence situations can end up on the ground. This division of the Jun Fan Martial Arts is close range combat. The techniques that are used come again from a variety of different grappling arts from around the world including and free style wrestling as well as Russian Sombo Judo and Jujitsu.
Jun Fan Gung Fu
This section of our training involves the use of close in trapping and striking techniques. Which is when the range of the fight has to a stage where the kick boxing techniques would not be effective. The main sources for this part of the art are Wing Chun and the unarmed methods of the Filipino Martial Arts. At this range the practioner should be trying for a more tactile response to their opponent. This means that because of the close range at which they will find themselves the practioner should be able to "read" their opponents responses and reply with the necessary techniques. This is a difficult area to describe,as it is one of those arts that you need experience in order to fully appreciate the concepts involved. This division of Jun Fan Martial Arts deals with the close and medium ranges of combat; and is one of the most important aspects of Martial Arts I have learned. this area also deals with such internal aspects as chi focusing.
