ForewordByRichard BustilloOriginal Student of Bruce Lee,

President, IMB Academy Inc

The Spirit of Bruce Lee has touched every corner of this earth. In India, the Bru

Lee legacy has reached Dr. Deepak Rao and Dr. Seema Rao. The Raos have devote

themselves to imparting their knowledge of Bruce Lees Jeet Kune Do to the peop

of India and the entire world. Their hope is to preserve and perpetuate the lega

of Bruce Lees Jeet Kune Do in law enforcement agencies and all branches of t

Indian military.

The warfront is constantly changing. As a result, military training must evolve

well. Modern military training is constantly perfecting ways to defeat the enemand win the war. This begins with the individual military soldiers fight. Bruce Le

said, The individual is more important than any style or systems. The individu

must be strong in both mind and body. Additionally, it is also important to not

that when individuals are joined, they are mighty.

Dr. Deepak and Dr. Seema have realized a need to conceptualize Military UnArme

Combat for survival. They have cultivated the late Bruce Lees training method

philosophies, and concepts of training into a simple, direct, and practical unarme

combat art. Bruce Lees philosophy of most dont plan to fail, they fail to plan, shouawaken every individual soldiers attention in succeeding in unarmed combat.

Drs. Seema and Deepak Rao are a unique couple. Because both are trained

medical doctors and martial artists, they offer more by teaching potentially l

saving training through military martial arts. They believe that it is easier to teac

the young than to repair an adult. This intellectual couple wants nothing but t

best for the people of their country.

The Raos do not keep Bruce Lees art secret in their new book, JKD of MILITA

UAC. They openly share the benefits and values that Bruce Lees Jeet Kune Do c

provide. They are a positive influence. Introducing your unit to the JKD of MILITA

UAC will help change their lives for the better. It will improve their confidence

survive in this combative world of today, while improving the combat efficiency

the force.

1. Introduction:THE JKD OF MILITARY UNARMED COMBAT

Military Martial Arts have a singular goal to terminate the enemy or opponent

the shortest possible time. During World War II UAC methods were hastily compileby the Allies for training the armies world over. These methods were derived fro

traditional martial arts like Wrestling, Judo and Karate prevalent at that tim

Even today, the modern day combatives are derived from BJJ< Brazilian Jiu Jit

(a ground fighting art). Martial art instructors are not familiar with the milita

applications & requirements and military instructors do not have a profession

background in martial arts, other than the sport versions of Wrestling, Judo, B

Taekwondo & Karate. The most recent addition to military martial arts is Krav Mag

an art centering on street fights, escapes from collar grabs, wrist grabs, neck loc

and bear hugs, a scenario not applicable to the military, where silent and sudde

termination tactics are the rule.

The Rao couple, Prof. Dr. Deepak Rao and Dr. Seema Rao, spent 17 years of their li

researching & training over 15,000 soldiers from the Indian forces in Close Quart

Battle and Unarmed Combat. They have over three decades of professional experti

in various martial arts. They draw inspiration from their Teacher, Richard Bustil

Original student of Bruce Lee and President of IMB Academy, Inc in Torrance, L

USA. Bustillo is known as the Iron Dragon of JKD and is one of the most sought aft

Instructors on Jeet Kune Do; the art founded by Bruce Lee. The Rao couple are al

representatives of IMB Academy in India, to spread Bustillos JKD teachings in Asia

sector.

The Jeet Kune Do concepts are a guideline to problem solving inside and outsid

the arena. The JKD concepts as understood by us can be summarized in brief

follows

A) Research the truth or subject at hand: under guidance of an expert witho

any bias or preformed notions with an open minded approachB) Absorb what is useful & C)Reject what is useless: depending upon wheth

they meet the criteria of Simplicity & Economy of Resources, Directness an

Efficiency.

D) Tailor make whatever has been absorbed to your self, your situation an

requirement


23/403

Rush to Win!22

Now applying JKD to the military martial art requirement, there was a need for an

art which meets the following:

A) The Art must cater to no height, weight or age category

B) All techniques must be aimed at termination or crippling vital targets

C) All techniques must be simple, few in number, easy to learn

D) All knock downs must take Less effort and the shortest possible time

E) The Art must be principle based, allowing every individual to modify it to hi

advantage and constitution.

The Raos research led to a modern day art The Bison System. This military ar

has been developed by the Rao couple after 17 years of training the cross section

of the Indian forces. Their efforts in modernization of Close Quarter Battle training

has received two Army Chief appreciations. The Indian Bison or the Bos Gaurus is avery aggressive animal, standing 2 m tall, with 32 inch horns and weighing 2 tons

Its principle enemy is the Tiger, which it rushes head on and often gores to death

The Gaur Bison is not to be mixed with the American Bison, which is a timid anima

often hunted and now almost extinct. The Gaur is also known for its principles, the

entire herd standing in a circle around the calf confronting the tigers.

True to the philosophy of the Bison is the logo of the Bison System

Rush to WinThe Raos Bison system has the following JKD features:

A) Each opponent is fought with a different STRATEGY depending on his size

height & aggression level.

B) ATTACK first, Attack fast, Attack hard and suddenly to force the opponent to

adopt a defensive approach

C) The appropriate RANGE or distance is to be selected depending on you

advantage and to the opponents disadvantage.

D) The hardest parts of the body are used against the softest parts and VITAL

organs of the opponent.

E) The best available ANGLE is selected to attack the opponent and disrupt hi

defense.

F) Attack is launched at the appropriate LEVEL (Head, Body, Groin, Leg levels

depending upon the height of the opponent.


24/403

Military JKD

G) Attack is always launched in rapid COMBINATIONS rather than singular, givin

the opponent no time to think.

H) A correct STATE (Ice-Static, Water-Bobbing, Gas-Prancing) of engagement

adopted depending upon stature of the opponent.

Almost all the elite Special Op forces of India have been trained by the Rao coupThe Raos have helped in modernizing the Counter Terror CQB training curriculum

various Indian forces. Many of the special operation units of the Indian forces ha

gone on record stating that they have benefited immensely from Raos expertise

Close Quarter Battle training.

Today, world over, the Bison system is regarded as the most modern military mart

art.

Bodhidharma, Buddhas principle disciple, was a aggressive monk, walked on fo

from Kerela to China with his troop of disciples. In order to be fit for the journey

to ward off bandits & fight animals, he devised a few exercises based on anima

On reaching China, this got modified into KENPO which later became KUNG FU.

diluted version of this reached Okinawa Japan & became KEMPO KARATE.

In Southern China, Bodhidharmas Kenpo was modified by Lady Chun to form

softer art WING CHUN, made of small steps & low kicks. In Northern China, Th

Shaolin Monastery Kenpo became inspired by animals & high kicks into man

ANIMAL FORMS of Kung Fu like TIGER CLAW, MONKEY, CRANE, PRAYING MANT

etc. CHOI LI FUT was another popular atyle of Kung Fu with high Kicks.

In Japan, Kempo became SHOTOKAN KARATE (Hard Style with Deep Stance

founded by a 22 year old FUNOKOSHI GICHIN) & GOJURYU KARATE (Hard & So

Upright Cat stance, founded by MIYAGI). SHITORYU Is the modern variant of GOJU

KYOKUSHINKAI founded by MAS OYAMA, (The monk who perfected Karate by killin

80 Mountain bulls). Closer Grappling version was JIU JITSU. This got modified in

sport version without Neck Locks into JUDO by JIGORO KANO, who also founde

the BELT SYSTEM.

Similarly in Korea, TAEKWONDO, a purely Kicking art was born with sub styles.

Filipines, KALI or Stickfighting was born. In France SAVATE was born. In Europ

WRESTLING & BOXING was founded as sports. Recently Grand Master CACO

CANOTE brought together all styles of stick fighting in Filipines as DOCE PARE

style.

Today the most popular SPORTS are kicking (TAEKWONDO), Kick & Punch (KARATPunch (BOXING), Grappling (JUDO & GRECO ROMAN WRESTLING), Weapo

(stick=ARNIS-ESCRIMA, Sword (Stick like KENDO & Foil like FENCING). WU SH

Eastern Kicking & go all out with protective Gear. This was tried out by Karate

competitors in Europe & USA as KICK BOXING. In Thailand, this is practiced as MUAY

THAI sport. In UK, Boxing was combined with Aerobics for women to get fit, called

BOX AEROBICS.

TAI CHI is the slow version of Kung Fu done to control stress. KRAV MAGA is Israel

Self Defense art founded by a Ex Army PT Instructor IMI LITCHINFIELD. Today KRAV

MAGA Means MARTIAL ART, a generic word. The style of Krav Maga used in Israel

Military is called HAGANNAH. Krav Maga taught to civilians is a Street oriented sel

defense art with no military techniques.

When Bruce Lee founded JEET KUNE DO, he applied the principles of Simplicity

Directness, Efficiency, Non Conventionalism with an Open minded approach tothe various RANGES of combat namely Kick, Punch, Knee Elbow, Grapple & Ground

fighting. The art is based upon techniques which can be used in combat in a no

holds barred fashion, transcending style and tradition. DAN INOSANTO, RICHARD

BUSTILLO & TED WONG are some of the well known JKD Instructors in the world.

LAW ENFORCEMENT (Police) MARTIAL ARTS

In many places all over the world, the Police & Law Enforcement agencies cannot

use firearms on criminals even when they use knives, blunt weapons (like sticks

baseball bats) or firearms. The Police personnel are expected to DISARM the Attacke

barehanded, use CONTROL TACTICS to tame & force compliance of orders and HAND

CUFF the criminals who many a times are violent, drugged and uncooperative. It

may involve escape & SELF DEFENSE techniques from various STREET SITUATIONS

This has led to the development of specialized Police arts called DEFENSIVE TACTICS

This is based on techniques derived from Close Grappling arts like BRAZILIAN JIU

JITSU, AIKIDO & SUBMISSION WRESTLING.

MILITARY MARTIAL ARTS & CLOSE QUARTER BATTLE (CQB) ARTS

The Armed Forces all over the world need different type of fighting skills. These

have to be offensive as there is no time to defend from the enemy. The only goa

of military is to kill, cripple or handicap. The techniques also have to follow the

KISS PRINCIPLE Keep It Short & Simple. Skills of killing & handicapping with

BARE HANDS, BLUNT WEAPONS like Rifle Butt, Helmet, EDGED WEAPONS like

BAYONET & COMMANDO DAGGER and VITAL ORGAN DESTRUCTIONS are essential

of any Military Martial Arts. British Defendu, US COMBATIVES, Russian SAMBO andIndian BISON SYSTEM are all examples of Military Martial Arts. The Bison System

is the Unarmed Combat component of the Military CQB art ACCS (ADVANCED

COMMANDO COMBAT SYSTEM, (founded by the Dr. Rao couple) which is popula

with Indian Forces.

Note- The Israeli art of KRAV MAGA founded by an Israeli Physical training instructor

Imi Lichtenfeld boasts of military Applications, but in our opinion is more of a

situational Street Self Defense Art dealing with escapes from various grabs & holds

on the street.

5. Myths&RealityofCombat ArtsINTRODUCTION

1. Man, like other animals already knows to fight as survival is inbuilt in his gene

He wants to excel in combat with others as an ultimate assertion of his presenc

(offense) or in order to protect himself, his family or his assets (defense)

2. He is searching for MAGIC. He wants to know certain vital points where he ca

strike to quickly subdue his enemy, or certain methods of crippling, handicappin

or creating serious dysfunction in his opponent.

3. The Martial Arts Instructors in the business of combat are well aware of th

craving. They capitalize on this demand and create illusions of secret techniqu

which can be effortlessly applied and result in crippling the opponent.

4. Let us study some of the common marketing strategy used for improving busine

in various martial arts and increasing number of student enrollment. Many of the

myths & folklore are common to various arts.

1. JUDO:

Strategy a) The Black Belt

The Belt concept was first adopted in Judo. The Black Belt is supposedly the ultima

stage in martial arts. He is invulnerable and can supposedly fight ten goons wi

swords with hardly any effort. In reality such characters belong to fictional com

books. Today the Belt concept is taken up by almost all martial arts.

Strategy b) The Incredible Throw

Throws are portrayed as a solution to every attack. One supposedly becomes

Phantom tossing goons around left, right and center.

2. KARATE:

Strategy a) The Kiai

The loud shout which generates power in the navel and transmits it to opponent. In

the boxing ring, boxers knock out their opponents without any yelling or fuss. The

Kiai adds tremendous value to the arts and is now adopted my most eastern arts.

Strategy b) Imperial Military Disciple

Karate is taught as a military art, with the students not allowed to even bat thei

eyelids without the instructors order. Students fancy this as it is akin to Military

discipline. This is one of the good points about Karate.

3. KUNG FU

Strategy a) The Chinese DummyThe students strike this fancy wooden human like dummy, to replace actua

sparring with real opponents. In recent times, the wooden dummy has awed many

a audience interested in fighting arts.

Strategy b) The Deadly Open handed Animal Strikes

Open handed strikes like Tiger Claw, Snake Fangs and Eagle beak are nowhere as

powerful as the closed fist. These look good only in movies.

4. TAEKWONDO

Strategy a) Tall Flying Kicks

Tall Flying kicks, Jumping, Turning, Sweeping, Spinning serve to stupefy the audience

and sell the business. In reality flying kicks rarely work as the opponent can see i

coming and merely side steps to avoid it.

Strategy b) Olympic Sports

Classification of Taekwondo as a sport adds a competitive edge with an elemen

of safety, in fighting with padded protective gear. So no one gets hurt but all can

compete. But this kind of fighting with legs only is far from the reality of stree

fighting where flying kicks rarely work.


42/403

Military JKD

Strategy c) The Kata to replace Sparring

People dont like to get hurt, but like to still train in mortal combat. The Kata serv

this purpose, fighting imaginary opponents in air via predetermined sequences.

5. KRAV MAGAStrategy a) Military Instructors & Military Art

In Israel citizens are drafted into the army and serve in the forces for a short duratio

Some instructors who teach Krav Maga claim this to be their credential.

Some KM Instructors run Military & SWAT Courses in various parts of the worl

where the law of the land allows civilians to shoot live firearms in private firin

ranges without licenses. In these courses, local Units of Police and Army participa

in individual personal capacity. In the Police, SWAT means Special Weapons

Tactics Teams. In Krav Maga the word SWAT refers to Self Defense to WeapoTactics and probably has no relevance to Police SWAT.

Strategy b) Street Self Defence in Short period

Certain street situations like Hand Grab, Collar Grab, Choke, Bear Hug form maj

part of curriculum. Students are taught how to give standard response to each

these. No Punching, Kicking, Striking or Throwing is taught in detail. The 10 d

course claims to make an instructor out of people with no serious background

martial arts.

6. TAI CHI & AIKIDO

Strategy a) Hit with Inner Energy

Little or No external force is required as these arts advertise. They hit with inn

energy rather than external force. Tai Chi claims to use inner CHI whereas Aikid

throws many opponents at the same time with supposed inner KI!

7. KALARIPAYAT & CAPOEIRA

Strategy a) These are more of synchronized, co-ordinated dance movemen

and less combative in application.

Strategy b) Magical moves on pressure points can paralyze the opponen

whereas pressure on healing points cure him of every ailment

No Science will testify to secret points. Vital points are known to every martial art


43/403

Rush to Win!42

like the groin, solar plexus and shin. There are no paralysis points or Healing

points known to man as per conventional scientific thought.

8. KICKBOXING

Strategy a) Fancy Gyms, Boxing Rings, Punching Bags, Equipment

Aerobic & Fitness Kickboxing is the same old martial arts marketed as a FITNESS

Mantra. Taught without any discipline, with club culture, music, mirrors, mats and

with Aerobic style counts by Fitness instructors.

The Reality In Martial Arts

1)All humans already know how to survive & fight, some better some worse. A

good Instructor will channelise this existing survival instinct and build technique

on that.

2)The taller heavier and more aggressive man always has a distinct advantage and

thats why there are weight categories. Realize this and you will learn to beat the

odds.

3)Fancy stuff like Flying Kicks, Tiger Claw strikes to secret points, loud shouting

does not assure you victory on the street. This era is of Reality based arts Muay ThaJeet Kune Do, Mixed Martial Arts& BJJ.

4)Martial arts can only be learnt by sparring with uncooperative opponents and

not by Air practice. In the words of Lee, You cannot win a sprinting event by daily

jogging around the track. In order to be good in fighting, Regular Sparring is a

must.

5)Martial Arts are meant for the primary goal of survival in street fight or mortacombat. Dont do martial arts primarily for Fitness, Style or Recreation. These come

as side effects to the martial artist.

6. DevelopmentofMilitary Martial Arts

In Britain

Military Close Quarter Combat (CQB) Arts are very different from Civilian Martial Ar

Tracing the development of Military Martial Arts (Now also called Combatives)

all started with World War II, when British Army started developing a quick syste

of Hand to Hand Combat for Unarmed Combat. This was hastily compiled wi

major influence by judo & wrestling. Thus they used to catch a punch, grab a kic

grab a bayonet thrust at them and throw! Very impractical, but this method sprea

all over the allies as UAC.

In China

In 1926, William Fairbairn developed Defendu derived from Chinese Martial Ar

and Kodokan Judo. Defendu was developed to train the Shanghai Police and w

later taught in expanded form to the American OSS and SOE members durin

World War II. Fairbairn was called upon by the British to help train Allied Troops

World War II.

In USA

The US OSS Col Rex Applegate, in an attempt to modernize Hand to Hand Comb

wrote the famous manual Kill or Be Killed which was a Defendu and Fairbur

art derivation with predominantly Grappling influence on Military H2H. He al

emphasized Quick Pistol Shooting Techniques in CQB & use of Fairbairn Sykes kni

in cutting Windpipe for Sentry Termination. This got modified into the US Marin

Manual. In 2000, the FM UAC Manual was derived from Brazilian variation of Jud

(BJJ) and Russian Sambo, a sport wrestling.

In Israel

An Instructor in Physical training for Israeli Defense forces, Imi Litchinfield develope

a newer system of military martial art. This art was modified for civilian applicatio

and called Krav Maga. The military version is popularly known as Hagannah.

ACCS: The Indian CQB Art

In India, the Dr. Rao couple, Prof. Dr. Deepak Rao and Dr. Seema Rao were

passionately involved with modernizing Military close combat martial arts from

1994. They founded the Close Quarter Battle (CQB) art ACCS: Advanced Commando

Combat System on the basis of their 16 years of research and experience of training

over 15,000 personnel from the Indian forces. ACCS included all CQB components

namely

a) H2H Hand to Hand(Unarmed Combat)

b) H2W Hand to Weaponor Defense to Edged Weapons, Firearm Threats, Bullet

evasions, etc

c) W2H - Weapon to Handor Sentry Termination techniques with Dagger, Garrotteetc

d) W2W Weapon to Weaponor Reflex Shooting drills to reduce reaction time.

ACCS is well known for its innovative technique of of close quarter shooting (Rao

System of Reflex Fire) which has been predominantly developed for CQB operation

for use of the Indian forces by the Raos. This technique called Reflex Shooting (Rao

system) is different in two respects, in that it advocates carrying the rifle barre

pointing upwards during engaging target and in aiming only with the foresight toreduce time taken to shoot. The forces have used this application to reduce thei

reaction time and improve shooting accuracy.

BISON SYSTEM

The H2H or Unarmed Combat component of Raos ACCS art was called Bison System

and included skills which could be learnt quickly without much precision training

and used at vital points to kill in mortal combat. Principles of Mob fighting (likeputting the Mob components in a straight line in order to neutralize the numbers)

Weapons Defence, Concepts of Line of Fire, Arc of Thrust of a Edged Weapon, etc

were redeveloped after thorough research.

This art of ACCS along with its UAC component, the Bison System has been studied

and trained in, by many Indian Forces. From last 16 years till date 15,000 soldie

have been trained in this modern method without any compensation by the Ra

The JKD CONCEPTS are theories developed by the legendary Lee and propagated by his studenRichard Bustillo, an original student of JKD, one of the leading instructors in JKD & Teacher to t

Rao couple. The concepts are explained below as we understand it :

1. RESEARCH THE TRUTH Train in all ranges of combat KICKING, PUNCHING, KNE& ELBOWS, GRAPPLING & GROUND RANGE

(Use in Life Philosophy: Research various aspects, advantages & disadvantages of t

problem, situation or decision under guidance of a competent authority. Without guidan

of a competent expert, your research could be based upon personal bias)

2. ABSORB WHAT IS USEFUL based upon 6 principles below3. REJECT THE LIMITATIONS based upon 6 principles below

a. SIMPLICITY HACK AWAY THE UNESSENTIALS Work with Fewer strikes, weapons

smaller degree of effort & movement (Use in Life Philosophy: Use lesser resources)

b. DIRECTNESS SHORTEST DISTANCE BETWEEN 2 POINTS IS A STRAiGHT LINE Be n

telegraphic (Use in Life Philosophy: Be Direct, dont beat around the bush, go straight

the heart of the problem without detours)

c. EFFECTIVITY LONGEST WEAPON - NEAREST TARGET & HARDEST WEAPON SOFTE

TARGET Attack Primary Targets i.e. Eye & Face, Groin, Knees & Shins. (Use in Life Philosop

Whatever you do, it must work. Be efficient)

d. OPEN MINDED NO WAY AS THE WAY, NO LIMITATION AS LIMITATION Be Open

any technique or tactic that will work. (Use in Life Philosophy: Open your mind to eve

possibility)

e. FLUIDITY BE SOFT YET NOT YIELDING, BE FIRM YET NOT HARD If he pulls-push

he pushes-pull, take him where he wants to go! (Use in Life Philosophy: Dont oppose

Dont give way completely to force)

f. NON CONDITIONAL (NON TRADITIONAL) (Use in Life Philosophy: Dont make decisio

based upon previous conditioning of thought, attitude & behaviour)

4. TAILORMAKE & ADAPT WHAT YOU ABSORB TO YOURSELF & THE

SITUATION EACH MANS TRUTH IS DIFFERENT IF YOU ARE HEAVY Adapt techniques to the Grappling Range

IF YOU ARE FLEXIBLE Adapt techniques to Kicking Range

IF YOU ARE LONG LIMBED Adapt techniques to Punching Range

(Use in Life Philosophy: Whatever has been absorbed, adapt & tailor make it to suit yo

resource, situation & requirement)

Detailed Explanationsof the JKD Ideology &Concepts

The JKD Ideology is based on the following principles, applicable to Combat as well as to Life

If you are smart, you wil learn to use JKD in combat, but if you are wise, you will also learn it

application in Life.

Simplicity.Mechanically, the more parts a machine has, the greater the chances of it breaking downAccumulation of techniques only adds complications. Being simple in nature, JKD believes in few

tools practiced to the point in which they are extremely efficient. Hence simple tools like the lead

jab and lead side kick to the groin or knee are perfected.

Directness.A line, being the shortest distance between two points, is the most logical path rather than a

curved detour to reach the final destination. In being direct, no excess motion is exerted. Fo

example, If an assailant grabs your wrist, some forms of martial arts may teach you to stomp on

their foot, lock the wrist, take them down to the ground, and then finish them with a strike to the

throat. The direct approach would be to strike them in the throat right in the beginning. Hencethere is no punching from the waist.

Also, Interception is preferred to Counter & parry as it is a more direct path to the goal.

Effectivity.JKD believes in absorbing the useful and rejecting the limitation. Only techniques which work

are taken. For e.g. the sport rules of various fighting are discarded and the foul techniques are

imbibed. JKD uses any means necessary to accomplish this task. If grabbed you may bite, scratch

or pull hair or whatever best fits the situation.

Non Classical.Practitioners do not wear uniforms, they do not practice forms, and they dont waste time with

complicated techniques simply because of tradition. Shoes are worn, and training with equipmen

is given a lot of importance. Kata was vertical death, joked Lee.

Open Mindedness.

JKD is open to newer ideas and concepts which work. It is a constantly evolving

art. Principles from Filipino Martial arts now area regular part of JKD teaching

curriculum worldwide.


58/403

Military JKD

Fluidity.

JKD believes in flowing, there is never an opposition to the forces and energi

exerted by the opponent. All JKD techniques and responses are in accordan

with the flow. JKD does not rely on one specific technique or another to count

an opponent. You should be able to adapt to the situation at hand. As an attaapproaches, you adapt to it with the appropriate response. The opponents atta

becomes your attack, as you fit into the opening created. Deflective parrying

preferred to rigid blocking. The rigid and unbending is the disciple of death, th

soft and yielding the disciple of Life.

Economy of Motion

Use the least possible movement to achieve your goal. Evasion is preferred

parrying and Interception is preferred to Counter & parry. Trapping from clo

quarters is preferred to moving away from an attack and then stepping in to countSidestepping is preferred to retreat.

No Pick & Choose

In the beauty of spring, there is no for or against. All branches grow, some sho

some long. Make a hairbreadth difference and heaven and earth will fall apart. JK

does not distinguish between one technique and another, favoring neither b

supports a better and simpler application of every technique.

Balance

JKD is balance of opposites. Meet hardness with softness. Meet softness wihardness. Opposites compliment each other not oppose. Therefore dominatio

has to be complimented with yielding wherever necessary. Be soft, yet not yieldin

be firm, yet not hard.

Comfort in all RangesJKD teaches you to be comfortable in all ranges. One learns to accommodate to the situatio

Lee says Be like water. It is insubstantial. It assumes the shape of the bowl. Thus the JKD m

fights and adapts to Long weapons range, Kicking, Punching, Knee-Elbow-Trapping, Grappling

Groundwork ranges. He also is the master of entry & Exit into & from all ranges

AdaptabilityJKD can fit in with any style. This does not mean that JKD can be added to any style to make

more efficient, or vice versa. What it probably does mean is that JKD can counter an adversa

regardless of their style or system. JKD believes that the basic body movement of all techniqu

from various different styles is always similar.

Longest Weapon on nearest targetUse your longest and strongest reach on the opponents nearest and most vulnerable target.


59/403

Rush to Win!58

the words of Winston Churchill If you hit your opponent, hit him with all your might or dont hi

him at all. Thus the lead hand and lead foot is preferred to using the rear hand and foot.

Strongest Weapon Softest TargetUse your most powerful weapon on the weakest & most vulnerable area of your opponent. Like

the side kick to the opponents kneeNon Conditional

The JKD exponent defies conditioning. The JKD man prefers to condition his opponent to a

regular rhythm and then break it, he himself remaining free and resistant to conditioning.

Non TelegraphicAll JKD attack comes without forewarning or pullback. The punches do not start from the waist

and the kicks do not start from the hips.

Individual more important than the system

All systems are incapable of pliability and adaptability. The truth is outside of al

fixed systems. So to find liberation in the arts, one must go beyond the systembeyond Judo or karate or Boxing, one must even go beyond JKD. As JKD is just a

concept and not a fixed gospel.

Experience over Technique

In JKD experience is valued over and above technique. Experience teaches response

and this is valuable compared to executing conditioned technique. The JKD man

has experienced boxing, kicking 7 grappling instead of having learnt techniques

from Boxing, Kicking and grappling arts.

Teach how to Find TechniqueIf you fish for a man, you will fend him for one meal. But, if you teach a man how

to fish, you will fend him for life. Thus the fighting principles take precedence ove

individual technique.

Strategy

If there is a tactic, a strategy that makes you reach the goal faster, it must be resorted

to. However one must distinguish between strategy and technical cunning

Therefore almost all attack in JKD is indirect, with feints & deception.

Absorb what is useful

Take what is useful to you, what works and develop from here. So develop wha

comes naturally to you rather than learn complicated technique. If you are big

framed and heavy and have a natural penchant for grappling, well start your journey

from there and develop further.


60/403

Military JKD

Hack away the unessential

Reject the rules, the limitations. Absorb the foul techniques of sport martial arts an

use them to make your fighting more effective. So JKD teaches you to punch th

kidney, the groin and jab the eyes, use headlocks and hammerlocks in grappling

Individual UniquenessJKD is unique for each individual. The techniques that work for a big burly ma

are not the same as those which work for a small lean man. Each individual has

travel his journey to find something exclusively his own. His experiences which a

unique to his self must form the core of his responses and his art.

Spontaneity

Muen Munshi. One thought. One Action. No Mind. For every thought there are tw

actions. Doing & Non doing. And for every thought and resultant action, there a

a hundred doubts & uncertainties, a hundred minds. Buddha concluded under tBodhisattva tree Hack away the mind, it is the cause of all trouble the JKD ma

does not think technique, he does not hit. It hits. The It here refers to the N

mindedness of the great origin.

No Limitation as Limitation

In JKD there are no limitations. For every rule there is an exception. The on

limitations are those which you impose on yourself. So instead of this is better th

that, the JKD man feels, This is another way of doing it! Hence JKD is a no Hold

barred fighting.No way as the Way

There is no fixed way. All routes lead to the same destination. Liberation. Your W

May Not Be My Way, Nor My Way Be Your Way. In JKD You find your own way. T

JKD man is no styles, but all styles.

All inclusive, excludes nothing.

JKD is not limited to only punching, or only kicking. During training, comfort is

be developed in all ranges. It is fighting with any ability you may have

Full Belief, Total Conviction, Commitment & Discipline.

We are here to question the answers and not answer the questions. Total knowledg

is to question the Teacher, the teaching and the textbook. Once the debates a

resolved, one must have full belief and conviction in his doctrine, unless prove

otherwise. Complete commitment and rigid discipline must be exercised in

practice. Once the path is decided upon, there is no looking back.


61/403

Rush to Win!60

Forever Evolving

JKD is forever evolving, getting better, losing its handicaps. The JKD practiced today

may be different from JKD practiced yesterday as the individual may evolve. The

Principles laid down in JKD may never change, though our understanding of thei

execution will better with time.

Applicable anywhere

JKD principles are applicable to Combat, Life and every possible place where greate

effectivity is desired.

JKD is towards personal Liberation

JKD is one of the avenues through which life opens its doors to us. The goal of JKD

is to know our ignorance. Knowing our ignorance is the best part of knowledge

In the words of Sun Tzu, If you know your self and the enemy, there is no fear in a

hundred battles. If you know your self, but not the enemy, the odds are even. If youknow neither yourself, nor the enemy, there is fear in a hundred battles.

It is just a word.

The JKD concept is a boat used to cross the river, once across, discard it.

10. JKD TechnicalSpecificsThe Technical specifics of the JKD Ideology and how it differs from other teachin

is outlined below:

Specifics of the art, (if any !)

There are no rules, only guidelines. Every Rule has exceptions. Anything that wor

goes. However the art has to be tailor made to each individuals constitution, statu

and skill. The advantages from various Martial Arts are absorbed & the limitation

disadvantages are rejected. There is a freedom from styles. The aim of the artsimply to cripple, immobilize or eliminate, in the shortest possible time with th

most minimum of effort. There is no place for techniques which dont achieve th

goal, as this is not about point fighting or sport combat.

a) Stance & Footwork- The stance advocated is a narrow upright one, permittin

quick springy movements, inspired by Western Boxing. It may be matched

unmatched. This is a street wise stance approach compared to the deep wide stan

of traditional karate.b) Footwork- is from Fencing, is quick & springy, with many small steps rather tha

single long deep move. Economy of movement is advocated, with sidesteppin

options rather than stepping back. Balance developed is Dynamic, in motion, rath

than in static stances. Fluidity & flowing with the opponents force is advocate

Resisting force is discouraged.

c) Deflective Parryingis preferred to rigid blocking. Interception is preferred ov

Parry & Counter.

d) Attacks: Lead Hand/ Foot Attacks are preferred. The Lead hand is closer to thtarget than the rear hand and hence is a better option in initiating the attack. Attac

are non focussed, going thru the target, rather than stopping at the target, befo

a pull back, as in traditional Karate.

e) Non Telegraphicfast movements are preferred to Telegraphic ones. This princip

advocates not pulling back the punch to the waist prior to delivery.


65/403

Rush to Win!64

f) Fighting is dynamic with Ranges changing from moment to moment. One

learns to fight in all Ranges, namely

Kicking Range

Punching Range

Elbow-Knee-Head Butt Range

Grappling Range

Groundwork Range

Strong In Fighting is advocated with Boxing & Grappling counters to kicks or othe

attacks. Rushing an opponent with multiple techniques and then rapidly moving

out to safety is advocated.

In every range art, the foul Tactics are absorbed & the limitations/ rules are rejected

For e.g. the groin kick foul of traditional sport martial arts is absorbed whereas the

dont grab the opponents hand or kick rule is broken.g)All attacks are indirect with feints. Feinting & Strategiesare a translation of Sun

Tzus Art Of War. Rhythm is a broken one, and never regular attack parry counte

type.

h)Each exponent personalizes the art to suit his requirement, his size & his skills

Specifics of the Kicking RangeInspiration from Chinese Shaolin Kung Fu

The Thrusting movement is replaced by a no locking extension of the knee. Kickingwith the lead foot is preferred. as the lead foot is nearer to the opponent. Non

telegraphic precision fast kicks preferred to the slow powerful telegraphic ones

Low kicks to the groin and kicks which break the knee (only a 12 kg force can break

the knee) are preferred to high kicks which require years of training. Kicking the

groin or the knees is more damaging than kicking the body.

Specifics of the Punching RangeInspiration from western BoxingThe Thrusting movement of Karate punches is replaced by a no locking extension

of the elbow. Straight line punches of Eastern arts are replaced by arcing punches

of western arts. Punching with the lead hand is preferred. Again, a dynamic stance

which is never static and ever moving is used. Foul Movements of Back fisting, Groin

Slamming & body spinning are combined with the boxing actions. Foul attacks to

the kidney, back of the head, groin incorporated. A finger jab to the eyes is bett

than a punch to the face.

Specifics of the Trapping RangeInspiration from Wing Tsun Kung FuThe punching movements of boxing are combined with the sense of feeling ( c

sao ) and Hand immobilizations and traps of Wing Tsun.

Trapping and immobilizing the opponents hand is adopted from Kung-Fu. O

learns to feel the opponents energies (rather than see) and sense openings by th

ancient Chinese exercise Chi-sao.

The fixed stance of Wing Tsun is replaced by the leading stance. Wide range of kic

used as opposed to the few straight line kicks of Wing Tsun.

Specifics of the Knee- Elbow RangeInspiration from Filipino Kali & Muay Thai from Thailand

One learns to hit with practically every part of the body.For eg: head, elbow ,forear

,knee and heel.

Attacks with Head butting, Elbow hooking , Kneeing and hitting with any & all par

of the body like the shoulder, hip, foot stomping, eye jabbing, etc used, along wi

the boxing rhythm. An ever preparedness to switch to the farther punching rang

or the nearer Grappling range is developed.

Specifics of the Grappling RangeInspiration from Japanese Judo, Western Wrestling & Filipino Wrestling

Jacket Holds replaced by Body grips (since there may be no judo jacket on th

opponent!) Throwing from Judo, Locking from Filipino wrestling & Leverage fro

western wrestling & the flowing from Aikido may be adopted.

locking and joint breaking from aikido and wrestling are taught.Impact blows like punching, kicking,etc are permitted.

Jacket Holds replaced by Body grips, (since there may be no judo jacket on the

wrestling adapted.

Head locks & cranks, Neck strangles, spine breaks & shoulder locks used.

various situations are created using various locations and varied weapons used

with full contact where injury is encouraged.

Men are clashed together (at different ranges) with taller, heavier, more aggressive

opponents

By our special drills, situations are created where one does not find time to think/usefixed technique but allows his animal survival instinct to find appropriate technique

for the relevant situation thereby letting the mind go free, its own way.

The Defense & FootworkThe defense aims at deflecting (Parrying) the opponents forces rather th

opposing it (blocking) as in Karate. In a strong cyclone, rigid trees get uprooted b

the adapting flexible grass reeds always survive. Hence the exponent is taught

be soft yet not yielding ,firm yet not hard.

Interception (or landing a counter attack before the opponents attack touches yo

is preferred to parrying (or blocking) followed by counter-attack.

Footwork derives inspiration from Fencing. Short multiple steps with a narro

upright boxing stance which will permit mobility. Side stepping is preferred

stepping back in accordance with the economy of movement principle. Footwo

must allow for rapid close in towards the enemy, trapping his lead hand wh

lauching the punches/ attack, and exiting quickly to safe distance before th

opponent counters.

In conclusionThe art is based on the principles of simplicity, directness and effectivity. T

opponent learns to find technique rather than apply fixed technique. It teach

spontaneity (Muen Munshi - in Zen Buddism), One thought - one action and n

mind (doubtless mind).

JKD is an avenue to understand the reality in combat, that combat is savage anbrutal and knows no style. That we must use various guidelines rather than rigid

learnt fixed technique, to tailormake techniques to suit our stature, opponent

situation. When faced with a taller, stronger, heavier and more aggressive oppone

you are in a mess and if you know that you will survive.
