Jeet Kune Do Mastery

"Empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless, like water. You put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle. You put it into a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend."

― Bruce Lee

"Wong showed me... I had reached a limit of my style. I was only fighting myself. He made me realize I had to create a whole new style. You know how water takes the shape of anything you put it in, but it stays strong and pure? Now that's gonna be my style."

― Bruce Lee (Birth of the Dragon)

"You see? To reach me, you must move to me. Your attack offers me an opportunity to intercept you. In this case, I'm using my longest weapon, my sidekick, against the nearest target, your kneecap. This can be compared to your left jab in boxing, except it's much more damaging."

― Li Tsung (Longstreet)

"You apply excessive force, I control that force through fluid motion. That means relaxing your whole body so it can react instantly without resistance, without thought."

― Spike Spiegel (Cowboy Bebop)

"Jeet Kune Do, a modern martial art that uses Chinese kenpō as a base and doesn't rely on a particular form. It creates pitfalls out of stances that require one's dominant hand or foot to be forward and permits the use of moves such as eye-gouging, low blows, and striking of joints. It revolves around short, decisive matches, and in practice, the time required should be as little as six seconds."

― Narrator (Kengan Ashura)

Capabilities[]

The user has complete mastery of Jeet Kune Do, a Hybrid Martial Art and philosophy founded by the renown martial artist, Bruce Lee, teaching that the best defense is a strong offense; an attack is parried or deflected, and a counterattack is delivered simultaneously, hence the meaning "Intercepting Fist". It is characterized by the 4 basic ranges of combat: Kicking, Punching, Trapping, and Grappling. However, an important part of Jeet Kune Do is one where one mustn't be rigid and must instead being fluid and instantly adapt no matter what situation one happens to be in, whether in combat or everyday life. It is also the liberation from styles, patterns, and molds, instead using what is useful, while abandoning what isn't, making it a "style without style". A user is meant to act with no wasted time or movements, believing in minimal movement, with maximum effect and extreme speed, thus "Expressing The Human Body".
