1959 In May, Bruce Lee moved to the United States, far away from Master and other disciples. In order to make a living and constantly enrich and improve his martial arts, he built a museum for his apprentices and gave four performances and demonstrations to promote China martial arts. I made more friends in the martial arts field, learned karate, Taekwondo, Muay Thai, Western Boxing, Western Sword, Jiu Jitsu, Feitie and other martial arts from them, and adopted advanced and scientific physical training methods. Eclectic, learn from others' strengths, and combine the essence of various schools of martial arts in the world, and finally create a direct, fast, practical and effective Jeet Kune Do (JKD). He put forward the wise words that "impossibility is the law, infinity is the limit" and realized the transformation from Zen to a generation of masters.
Jeet Kune Do, founded by Bruce Lee, takes "impossibility is the law, infinity is the limit" as the boxing theory. These two sentences can be regarded as the core of Bruce Lee's martial arts thought and the central idea of Jeet Kune Do. Huang Chunke, a senior student in Bruce Lee, thinks that these two sentences are another interpretation of the theory of Wing Chun Boxing that "there is no way to win". He said that some basic skills in Bruce Lee Jeet Kune Do did not leave the category of Wing Chun, but were only a deduction. For example, in Wing Chun Boxing, if the hands of the enemy and the enemy touch each other and the other hand leaves, the first reaction of the wing Chun boxer is that it is not easy to attack the other side in a straight line, no matter what the other side's intention is, so the wing Chun boxer should always practice sticking his hand.
Bruce Lee's point of view is to pursue the breakthrough of the restrictions of moves as the ultimate goal, even including the restrictions of all techniques, moves and sects in a broad sense. He opposes any form of routine practice, thinking that it will only limit the play of individual Wushu.
During his study in Seattle Edison Vocational and Technical School, Bruce Lee did not relax his training and improvement of martial arts. While he went to college on 196 1, he still taught himself China traditional martial arts such as Northern Shaolin Boxing, Southern Shaolin Boxing, Mantis Boxing and Xingyi Boxing in his spare time. He also often conducts actual combat confrontation exercises with disciples who are good at other martial arts, so as to learn and master new kung fu and enrich his fighting skills. He also went to the Chinese bookstore to search for all kinds of old and new books or books about classical philosophy in mainland China, Hongkong and Taiwan Province. Among them, Cai Longyun's Basic Skills of Wushu and Wan Laisheng's Hui Zong of Wushu have a great influence on him. In particular, Wan Laisheng, known as a "martial arts expert", had the greatest influence on Bruce Lee's martial arts thoughts. The natural martial arts practiced by Mr. Wan Laisheng has no fixed moves, but relies on the on-the-spot reaction to the enemy's fighting. It is also a unique martial art that combines the strengths of many families and has a far-reaching impact on the establishment and development of Jeet Kune Do in Bruce Lee. During this period, Bruce Lee collected Chinese versions of books such as Introduction to Wushu, Secret of Xingyiquan, Secret of wudang boxing, Karate, Introduction to Karate, Tao, Wushu Theory and Tai Ji Chuan, as well as Boxing, Boxing Principles and Practice and Biomechanics Principles. Natural and elegant. Jeet Kune Do is also simple, vigorous and full of ideas, so there is no trace of Jeet Kune Do when fighting, which makes the opponent fall to the ground unprepared.
Kung fu is a special skill, an exquisite art, not a physical activity. This is a subtle art that must be matched with the mind and skill. The principle of kung fu can't be learned, just like a science, which needs to be proved and inspired. We must let nature take its course and, like a flower, bloom from thoughts without feelings and desires. The core of the principle of Kung Fu is Tao-the naturalness of the universe.
Bruce Lee reflected that he must give up the form of traditional Wushu routines. Although he has learned a lot of traditional martial arts routines himself, he will lose his way once he meets a routine boxing that he can't. He wants to find a universal, simplest and most powerful technology that can be applied to any kind of boxing and can win quickly. Under the influence of the new concept of time, he began to form a new concept of martial arts fighting, which is the purpose of Jeet Kune Do: proceeding from actual combat, stressing efficiency, simplicity and practicality. Therefore, he firmly and decisively took the step of reform and innovation. "Jeet Kune Do has no boxing and no branches, but it conforms to any branch. Therefore, it contains the fine skills of other sects and is applicable to any technique. In order to achieve the goal, you can go all out by any means. "
Bruce Lee founded Jeet Kune Do on the basis of absorbing useful skills and theories, plus his own specialties, so as to enhance the actual combat ability, improve the actual combat level, and develop to the line of applying what he has learned. Therefore, he dialectically accepted the advantages and advantages of other martial arts, and first lifted the shackles of general boxing. For example, when practicing the so-called "free fight" in karate, once you are in close combat, you should pay attention. Over time, you will form the bad habit of "leaving no hand" in actual combat. The martial arts created by Bruce Lee are different. Only stick it on your body and start playing. Furthermore, judo and aikido don't use leg boxing, while Bruce Lee's martial arts (Jeet Kune Do) pays equal attention to both hands and feet, and can even be bitten with the mouth. When it comes to using feet, both karate and Han Wei Taekwondo advocate and encourage fighting with high feet, while Jeet Kune Do is better at kicking up, down and middle effectively, especially in its tibia, knees and thighs, with higher hit rate and stronger lethality. In addition, Jeet Kune Do is simple and direct, and it is never gaudy. It only admits that it is a fighting art that tries to defeat a strong enemy with the least effort in unarmed combat.
Jeet Kune do has no specific position and posture. Usually, it puts more powerful and flexible hands and feet in front to make the attacking hands and feet closer to the opponent, so the attack hit rate is high. Bruce Lee didn't say "ma bu" or "ma bu" or "ma bu" or "ma bu" or "ma bu" or "ma bu" or "ma bu" or "ma bu" or "ma bu". Therefore, Jeet Kune Do is called "invisible, invisible", only depending on how the opponent comes and how to fight back in time. Therefore, the purpose of Jeet Kune Do is: "take the impossibility as the law and limit it to infinity", or "take the impossibility as the law and limit it to infinity".
Jeet Kune Do does not advocate courage to fight. It regards fighting as an art. Because Bruce Lee has read many philosophical monographs and is deeply influenced by western humanitarianism, Jeet Kune Do attaches great importance to people's value, advocates martial arts, understands the mystery in practice, and gives full play to and improves people's potential ability. In addition, the contest is regarded as a display of people's martial arts and ability value, and they don't care much about winning or losing. At the same time, Jeet Kune Do also believes that "assault (that is, sudden attack) and kicking are powerful weapons for self-defense". From it, we can easily see that Jeet Kune Do is completely different from any kung fu that is ostentatious and follows the common law of fighting. Its fighting foundation is simple and clear, but it is very effective.
