The Jeet Kune Do system was originated by none other than Bruce Lee in 1967. Lee often referred to June Kune Do as a way of fighting without actually fighting. In other words, it is guided by thoughts.

This concept is still imitated in gyms around the world today. The movements are simple yet somewhat complicated at the same time --move quickly with paramount effects and intense

momentum. The question is: how did Bruce Lee train his body to this?
