JKD & 4D COMBAT

WHAT IS JEET KUNE DO (JKD)?

Jeet Kune Do was conceived by Bruce Lee. Its practitioners believe in minimal effort with maximum effect and extreme speed.

There is a big emphasis on economy of motion.

This is the principle by which JKD practitioners achieve:

Efficiency: An attack that reaches its target in the least amount of time, with maximum force
Directness: Doing what comes naturally in a disciplined way
Simplicity: Thinking in an uncomplicated manner; without ornamentation

This is meant to help a practitioner conserve both energy and time, two crucial components in a physical confrontation. Maximised force seeks to end the battle quickly due to the amount of damage inflicted upon the opponent.

(Master Robert Chu, 1991)

WHAT IS 4D COMBAT?

4D Combat was developed by Guru Bob Breen from the two amazing arts of JKD and Kali. Guru Bob is a master martial arts instructor with over 50 years' experience at the highest level.

The name 4D Combat came about as the system comprises the four dimensions of stand up combat:

Striking
Clinching
Weapons
Group Attack

Bob’s aim with 4D Combat is for people to achieve mastery in their lifetime and on their own terms; the art has to suit you.

Therefore in 4D Combat, the same formats or templates are used, whatever you’re doing. This makes you faster, both mentally and structurally.
