Martial artist, philosopher and cultural icon who founded Jeet Kune Do (JKD) — a hybrid martial arts philosophy that rejected rigid styles in favour of adaptability and efficiency. Widely regarded as the father of Mixed Martial Arts for his cross-disciplinary approach decades before MMA existed. His philosophy of 'absorb what is useful, reject what is useless' influenced generations of fighters and coaches worldwide.
