Bruce Lee's first art was Tai Chi which he learned from his father. Later he studied Wing Chun from Yip Man. His teaching have
evolved today especially with the rise of Mixed Martial Arts many people have forgoten the traditional methods. Its important
the we are not bound by them and that we keep an open mind so we can continue to grow but we must not close
off our mind to the past either. There are many great attributes that come from traditional arts that can help all martial artist
even sportive based ones, rather than focusing on what is better between Wing Chun and Boxing we try to see how knowledge
of Wing Chun can help our Boxing and Visa Versa. Elements of Wing Chun are taught in every TXJKD class and Tai
Chi is in everything we do. "Wing Chun is the Heart of JKD and Tai Chi is the Soal."

THE STYLE OR TECHNIQUE YOU PRACTICE IS FAR LESS IMPORTANT THAN WHAT YOU PRACTICE EQUATING IT AGAINST
Bruce like to base his skills off of being able to apply them against not only other traditional Kung Fu stylist but against Western Boxers and Wrestlers when he came to America. This mindset was crucial to the development of JKD. Today we have MMA which produces some of the best fighter/athlete combinations you could run across. These are the types of fighters that give many traditional practitioners problems. In our more contemporary methods of Jeet Kune Do training we include Western Boxing, Wrestling, Muay Thai, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu which is the most common arts practiced in MMA. Even if you are strictly training to connect to the arts or the past or focused purely on street defense it is important that you understand thetiming and applications of these arts in order to be able to deal with them. As a result of this it also opens the door for studentswho do have a calling to compete in the sportive arts and we have successful students who compete in Boxing, Submission
Wrestling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Kickboxing, Muay Thai, and Mixed Martial Arts.
1C: STREET FIGHTING, SELF DEFENSE
COMBATIVES, TACTICAL TRAINING
All the training in the Traditional Methods can make you a great Martial Artist. The Training in the Sportive Arts can make you a
great fighter or competitor but sometimes these things fall short to address common situations people face in today's world. Our
reality based applications prepare us for all types of violent encounters including life threatening attacks with no rules and no time
limmits. These attacks could be on you and or your family. They could include one or mulitiple opponents who could be unarmed or
armed with an assortment of edged or blunt weapons. They could come in the form of a Buglery, Home Invasion, Car-Jacking, Gang
Attack, Riot, Sexual Assualt, or an Act of Terror just to name a few. Training for these types of situation is much more than physical
and must include pre and post fight applications. Situational Awareness is crutial to your prevention of most of these situations but
even if the senario is unavoidable weather you survive is often based around how much information you gathered in the seconds
right before your physical action. Did you scan the area to see how people are around, did you look for exit or locate improvised
weapons. If you survive the physical altercation often the battle has just begun and you must maintain a clear head to take the
proper steps to get your self to safety contact the proper athorities and be able to artiulate yourself correctly and justify your
actions based off the correct use of force. Through both mental and physical trainining, stress inocluation, and realitic senarios we
help to prepair you for any and all situations.
