Is Jeet Kune Do consider a Chinese Martial Art? or is it consider a mixed martial art?

I don't think it is (I can only guess whether or not Chinese martial artists consider one...).

 

Bruce Lee would say it is only a path rather than an style...or something.

 

But officially, I don't think it is, someone correct me if I am wrong please.

Jeet Kun Do is not a style.

 

You should pick up a copy of the book Tao of Jeet Kun Do its a hard read, but its a good read.

 

Its more a philosophy.

 

One thing about it is it is incomplete.

 

And it is progressive.

 

It also started hundreds of years before Bruce Lee was born, He himself stated there were no original principles in hsi book, they were already out there, he just brought them together.

read the book. that should answer your question.

I am happy to see that some people relisze that LKD is not a particular style, but a path. One can say that as Martial Artists, we are ALL JKD Practitioners. I grow weary of the "JKD Bandwagon"

luckys right in that jkd is not a martial art as bruce lee designed it. however, these days, there are martial arts instructors who teach 'jeet kun do.' any of those however, wouldnt really be chinese.

 

47martialman's also right- if you practice your martial art to the best of YOUR abilities to become the best fighter you can be, youre practicing the same philosophy of jeetkundo as bruce lee intended. and yea, i too am weary of that bandwagon.

Yipee...finally someone thinks like me

I am jumping on the weary on JKD bandwagon also

Great..now if I can people to jump on the "Shaolin Weary Bandwagon"

Bruce Lee was from China, and he had a base of Chinese MA, the JKD crest has Chinese characters. I would say that the base of JKD is Chinese, I belive whether it is a style or concept is not the question, but from where the roots of JKD grow. IMHO it begins from a Chinese base and branches out into all styles, and is a living breathing thing, always open to change and individual interpretation.
