Because Jeet Kune Do takes into account what suits someone best, the student can always achieve the best results.
After covering the basic techniques and technical aspects, Jeet Kune Do allows the student to combine the best elements and develop them further.
Lee found that Wing Chun had a number of major limitations and that the confrontations took an unnecessarily long time. He began to adapt the style, improving the techniques and adding other fighting styles. Lee made the movements more fluid and focused on the fight itself. He added techniques from boxing and fencing. Bruce Lee believed that, once you are attacked, you should complement the attacker's action. In this way, for example, the small, fast defender is not at a disadvantage. The extraordinary aspect of Jeet Kune Do is found in its simplicity .
It is the simple and direct expression of personal feelings, with a minimum use of movements and energy. Every movement 'is'. It exists without artificiality and complexity, elements that man often adds unnecessarily. Jeet Kune Do is not special. The closer you come to the truth of Jeet Kune Do, the more the honesty of personal expression comes to the fore.
Going against the traditional Chinese view that Chinese martial arts such as Kung Fu , with all its secrets, should remain exclusive to the Chinese, Bruce Lee brought the teachings back to his native United States.
