The art of Jeet Kune Do was created by Bruce Lee as a way of freeing martial artists of a ‘one size fits all’ doctrine and allowing them to explore and express their arts, freely.
While many argue about whether Jeet Kune Do was a style or a concept, Shifu Kanishka believed that both arguments are true and false.
Having explored the various evolutionary stages of JKD under the tutelage of Master Sitta Wang, Shifu Kanishka utilized the core concepts of JKD, i.e.
- Absorb what is useful
- Discard what is useless
- Add what is specifically your own while keeping the essence of JKD (interception) and adding his expertise in arts like Muay Chaiya, Pekiti Tirsia Kali, Shaolin Kung Fu, and many more to create a system that is specifically designed to neutralize threats in the year 2017.
As the nature of fighting and self-defense has evolved over the years, the fighting system must evolve as well.
Shifu Kanishka is leading the charge of spreading this evolved system of Jeet Kune Do in India.
