Moral Code

Thou shalt have no other gods before me

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image

Thou shalt not take the Lord thy God in vain

Remember the Sabbath day to keep it Holy

Honor thy father and thy mother

Thou shalt not kill

Thou shalt not commit adultery

Thou shalt not steal

Thou shalt not bear false witness

Thou shalt not covet

[Note from Roy: Robert once told me that Barnie Silve was a very religious man andthat he had hoped that this version of Jeet Kune Do would become popular and usedas a way to minister to people; hence, the list of the Ten Commandments from the OldTestament shown above. Most forms of martial arts have a moral code that studentsare expected to follow so that they will become respected members of theircommunity. This was also the goal of Robert McClung and Barnie Silve.]

[Note from Roy: Sifu Robert once told me that after Bruce Lee died; there werent toomany ways to get certified to teach Jeet Kune Do. This was a time of great confusionas to what Jeet Kune Do was and was not. Many charlatans were passing themselvesoff as Jeet Kune Do masters and their credentials were dubious at best. As Iunderstood it, years ago Barnie Silve started the American Chinese Kick BoxingAssociation in an attempt to approximate as closely as possible the guiding principlesof Jeet Kune Do as they were generally known at the time without using the title of JeetKune Do. The general consensus among many martial artists that didnt know muchabout Jeet Kune Do was that Jeet Kune Do was a combination of Wing Chun, Boxingand Wrestling. Years later, students of Bruce Lee started publishing books and videosof the teachings of Bruce Lee to keep the art alive and so that those people that did nothave the privilege to train with Bruce Lee would be able to learn about the fightingstyle of Jeet Kune Do. So when you combine the teachings of former students ofBruce Lee with what Sifu Robert taught us and combine them along with this manual,you will be able to see that most of this manuals content is valid Jeet Kune Domaterial. If you follow the goals of this manual precisely, you should also achieve aconsiderable level of fitness as well. As you read this, let me know if you find typoerrors that I have missed and I will try to correct them as best as I can.]

Fighting Stance

Proper posture is a matter of effective interior organization of the body which can beachieved only by long and well-disciplined practice.

The Fighting stance position is the position most favorable to the mechanicalexecution of all the total techniques and skills. It allows complete relaxation yet, at thesame time, gives a muscular tone most favorable to quick reaction time.

A correct posture does three things:

1. It insures for the body and its members a position which is most mechanicallyfavorable for the next move.

2. It enables one to maintain a (poker body) a body that reveals no more of itsintended movements than a (poker face) reveals the cards of a player.

3. It puts the body under that particular tension or degree of tone which will bemost favorable to quick reaction and high coordination.

The position adopted should be the one found to give maximum ease and relaxation,combined with smoothness of movement at all times.

The Fight Stance position must, above all, be a relaxed attitude stance.

The Head:

In western boxing, the head is treated as if it were a part of the trunk, generally, with noindependent action of its own. In close-in fighting, it should be carried vertically, withthe point of the chin pinned to the collarbone and the side of the chin held against theinside of the lead shoulder. The chin does not go all the way down to meet theshoulder, nor does the shoulder come all the way up. They meet halfway. Theshoulder is raised an inch or two and the chin is dropped an inch or two.

The point of the chin is not tucked into the lead shoulder except when angling the headback in an extreme defensive position. Tucking the point of the chin into the leadshoulder turns the neck into an unnatural position, takes away the support of themuscles and prevents straight bone alignment. It also tenses the lead shoulder andarm, preventing free action and causing fatigue.

With the chin dropped and pinned tight to the collarbone, the muscles and bonestructure are in the best possible alignment and only the top of the head is presented

to the opponent, making it impossible to be hit on the point of the chin.


11/37


Page 11 of 37

The Lead Arm and Hand:

The shoulder is loose and the hand is held slightly lower, relaxed and ready forattacking. The entire arm and shoulder must be loose and relaxed so that the fighterwill be able to snap or whip out the lead in rapier-like thrusts. The hand positionchanges frequently from low back fist position to about shoulder height and as far tothe outside of the lead shoulder as possible without raising the elbow. Keep the leadhand always in some subtle motion for easier initiation.

The preference for a low-line position with absence of an extended lead is becausemost people are weak in low-line defense. Also, with the absence of an extended lead,many preparations on same are useless. The lead now becomes a moving target,augmented by sensitive distance. So, if the opponents offensive game is based onthese preparatory movements, he is severely handicapped and partly checked.

The elongated guard can prove a dangerous weakness in both attacks and defense.

In attacks:

1. Necessitates withdrawing the arm, thus telegraphing (unlike a coiled spring).

2. Needs preparation for body hooks.

In defense:

1. Uncovers the lead side of the body.

2. The opponent knows where it is and can maneuver all around it.

3. An extended hand offers itself for immobilization.

Thus, adopt the recommended position to keep the potentialities of your lead reach asecret.

The Rear Arm and Hand:

The rear elbow is held down and in front of the short ribs. The rear forearm covers thesolar plexus. The open palm of the rear hand faces the opponent and is positionedbetween the opponent and the rear shoulder, in line with the lead shoulder. The rear

hand may also rest lightly upon the body. The arm should be relaxed and easy, readyto attack or defend. Either or both hands may perform a circular (weaving motion).The important thing is to keep them moving, but retain cover.


12/37


Page 12 of 37

The Trunk:

The position of the trunk is controlled primarily by the position of the leading foot andleg. If the leading foot and leg are in the correct position, the trunk automaticallyassumes the proper position. The one important thing about the trunk is that it shouldform a straight line with the leading leg. As the leading foot and leg are turned inward,the body rotates in the same direction, which presents a narrow target to the opponent.If, however, the leading foot and leg are rotated outward, the body is squared towardthe opponent, presenting a large target. For defensive purposes, the narrow target isadvantageous, while the square position lends itself better to some attacks.

Stance:

The semi-crouch stance is the perfect stance for fighting because you are braced butare, at all times, in a comfortable balanced position from which you can attack,counter, or defend without preliminary movement. This stance may be referred to asthe small phasic bent-knee stance.

SMALL: Means appropriateness not over-extenuated steps or insufficient length ofstepping. Use small quick steps for speed and controlled balance in bridging the gapto the opponent, not distinctive enough for opponent to time.

PHASIC: A stage or interval in a development or cycle, not still or static, but isconstantly changing.

BENT_KNEE: Ensure readiness in motion at all times.

The pattern of bent knees, crouched trunk, slightly forward center of gravity andpartially flexed arm is characteristic of (readiness) in many sports.

At any time, the lead foot should be hampered as little as possible. If too much weightis on it, it will be necessary to transfer that weight to rear leg before starting the attack.This movement involves a delay and also warns the opponent.


13/37

FUNDAMENTAL POSITIONING is the foundation.

Fundamental suggests:

1. Simple but effective organization of oneself mentally and physically.

2. Ease, comfort and body feel during maintenance of the spiritual stance.

3. Simplicity, Movement with no strain. Being neutral, it has no commitment in adirection, course or exertion.

Positioning suggests:

1) A state of movement as opposed to a static position, an established form or

attitude.

2) Repositioning, especially with small phasic movement, resulting in further

disorganization of the opponents sustained watchfulness.

3) Adaptation to opponent watchfulness.

Springiness and alertness of foot work is the key theme. The rear heel is raised andcocked, ever ready to pull the trigger into action. You are never set or tensed, but areready and flexible.

The primary purpose of Gung Fu iskicking, hitting, and applying body force.Therefore, the use of the fighting stance position is to obtain the most favorableposition for the above-mentioned.

To hit or kick effectively, it is necessary to shift weight constantly from one leg to theother. This means perfect control of the body balance. Balance is the most importantconsideration in the fighting stance position.

Naturalness means easily and comfortably, so all muscles can act with the greatestspeed and ease. Stand loosely and lightly, avoid tension and muscular contraction.Distinguish between drilling comfort and personal comfort. Thus, you will both guardand hit with more speed, precision and power.


14/37


Page 14 of 37

You are all back, elbow, forearms, fist and forehead. You look more on the order of acat with its back hunched up and ready to spring, except that you are relaxed. Youropponent hasnt much to shoot at. Your chin is tucked between your shoulders. Yourelbows protect your sides. You are partially contracted in the middle. The fightingstance position is the safest position.

Thus:

1. Use tools that will least deviate from the fighting stance position.

2. Practice instantaneous explosion from neutrality and retain neutrality incommitment, all into one constant smooth flow.

3. Practice constantly to apply all tools from the fighting stance position and return tothe fighting stance position with all possible rapidity. Shorten the gap time betweenposition and execution more and more: Ease, speed, relay.

Above all, do not lay down restricting rules!!!


15/37


Page 15 of 37

The Forward Shuffle:To move forward cautiously, slide your front foot forward, about a half-step, wideningthe space between your feet just for a second as you slide your rear foot forward. Thisis a forward advance of the body, without disturbing body balance, which can only beperformed through a series of short steps forward. The steps must be so small thatthe feet are not lifted at all, but slide along the floor. The whole body maintains thefundamental position throughout, this is the key. Once the body feels results, combinethe steps with tools. The body is poised for either sudden attack or a defensivemaneuver. Its primary purpose is to create openings (by the opponents defensivereactions) and to draw leads.

The Backward Shuffle:To move backward, slide or shuffle your rear foot backward about a half-step, wideningthe space between your feet just for a second as you slide your front foot backward.The principle is the same as that of the forward shuffle; do it without disturbing theFighting Stance. Remember that both feet are on the floor at all times, permittingbalance to maintained for attack or defense. It is used to draw leads or to draw theopponent off-balance, thus creating openings.

Sidestep to the Right:Sidestepping is the technique of moving your body toward the right or left withoutlosing your balance. It is a safe and essential, defensive maneuver to attack orproduce openings for a countering when the opponent least expects it. It is used toavoid straight-forward assaults, blows or kicks. You can also frustrate your opponentby simply moving when he is about to attack. To sidestep to the right, move your rightfoot sharply, slightly forward and toward the right about 18 inches, your left or rearfoot supplies the impetus as you land lightly on the ball of your right foot with its kneebent. Your shoulder automatically realigns when you quickly slide your left foot in themanner and resume the Fighting Stance position.

Sidestep to the Left:To sidestep to the left from a Fighting Stance position, move your left foot slightlyforward and to your left about 18 inches, during this motion your body is more alignedthan when moving toward the right. Since your body is more aligned, you are in betterbalance and your weight is evenly distributed between the two feet during the shift.

Your right or front foot should follow immediately in the exact manner, returning you tothe Fighting Stance position. You will notice that sidestepping toward the left is morenatural and easier than sidestepping to the right.


16/37


Page 16 of 37

Quick Advance:

The quick advance is almost like the forward shuffle. From the fighting stance positionwith your front foot step forward about three inches. This seemingly insignificantmovement keeps your body aligned and helps you to move forward in balance. Itallows you to move with both feet evenly supplying the power. Without this short step,the rear foot does most of the work. As soon as you glide your front foot, quickly slideyour back foot almost to replace your front foots position. Unless you move yourfront foot instantly, the rear foot cannot be planted properly because the front foot willbe partially in the way. So just before your rear foot makes contact with your frontfoot, slide your front foot forward. The purpose of this movement is to move yourbody quickly to a distance, of about eight feet or move that requires several steps.

Quick Retreat:

The footwork for the quick retreat is very similar to the quick advance except you movein the opposite direction. From the fighting stance position move your front foot backto the rear foot. The front foot, like the quick advance, initiates the movement with therear foot following just a split second later. Unless you move your rear foot before thefront makes contact, the front foot cannot be planted properly. Unlike the quickadvance, you do not have to slide your rear foot three inches backward. It is just onequick motion, but your body should be in alignment and in balance. If you were tomove just once, you should be back in the fighting stance position.

The Burst:

The forward burst or lunge is the quickest Gung Fu movement. It is also one of thehardest to learn because it depends on good coordination, and your balance can bethrown off very easily. It is utilized to penetrate deeply to attack with a side kick or tocounter an attack such as a kick. The forward burst is one deep lunge. From thefighting stance position step forward about three inches with your front foot, like thequick advance movement, to align your body and be in balance. Then for fasterreaction use your lead hand as an impetus. By sweeping your lead hand upward, amomentum is created, like someone is jerking you forward suddenly as if you areholding on to a rope. This sweep of your hand also distracts your opponent andthrows his time off. While sweeping your hand upward, your hips swing forwardsimultaneously, dragging your rear foot forward. In that split instant, your weight isheavily on your front foot, only at this movement does your leg straighten out to thrustyour body forward. Sometimes, on an especially deep, penetrating leap, your rear footmay be ahead of your front foot while you are gliding in the air. You must land on your

left foot only, as your right foot is delivering a side kick. As soon as you havecompleted your kick, you should quickly place your right foot down and assume thefighting stance position. That one leap should carry your body at least two wide steps.


17/37


Page 17 of 37

The Step Forward and the Step Back:

Gaining and breaking ground may be used as a preparation for attack. The stepforward is obviously used to obtain the correct distance for attacking and the stepback can be used to draw the opponent within distance. Drawing an opponent usuallymeans drawing out of distance from a lead by swaying back from the hips or makinguse of the feet in such a way that the lead will just fall short. Its objective is to lure youropponent within reach at a crucial movement while staying out of reach yourself.

The Step-in / Step-out:

This is the start of an offensive maneuver, often used as a feint in order to build up anopening. The foot movement is always combined with kicking and punchingmovement. The initial movement (the step-in) is directly in, with the hands held highas if to hit or kick, then out quickly before the opponent can adjust his defense. Lullthe opponent within this maneuver then attack when he is motor-set.

Circling Right:

The lead leg becomes a movable pivot that wheels the whole body to the right until thecorrect position is resumed. The first step with the right foot may be as short or aslong as necessary; the longer the step, the greater the pivot. The fundamental positionmust be maintained at all times. The right hand should be carried a little higher thanordinary in readiness for the opponents left counter. Moving to the right may be usedto nullify an opponents right leadhook. It may be used to get into position for lefthand counters and it can be used to keep the opponent off balance. The importantthings to remember are never step so as to cross the feet; move deliberately andwithout excess motion.

Circling Left:

This is a more precise movement requiring shorter steps. It is used to keep out ofrange of rear, left lead blows from a right stance. It also creates good position for thedelivery of a hook or jab. It is more difficult but safer than moving to the right and,therefore, should be used more often.

Evasiveness:

During fighting, there is a good deal of parrying, especially with the rear hand, but it is

better to use footwork, duck and counter, snap back and return, slip and punch.


18/37


Page 18 of 37

Slipping:

Slipping is avoiding a blow without actually moving the body out of range. It is usedprimarily against straight leads and counters. It calls for exact timing and judgmentand, to be effective, it must be executed so that the blows are escaped only by thesmallest fraction. It is possible to slip either a left or a right lead. Actually, slipping ismore often used on the forward hand lead because it is safer. The outside slip(dropping to a position outside the opponents left or right lead ) is safest and leavesthe opponent unable to defend against a counterattack. Slipping is a most valuabletechnique, leaving both hands free to counter. It is the real basis of counter fightingand is performed by the expert.

Slipping inside a Left Lead:

As the opponent leads a straight left, drop your weight back to your rear left leg byquickly turning your right shoulder and body to the left. Your left foot remainsstationary but right shoulder pivots inward. This movement allows his left hand to slipover your right shoulder as you obtain the inside guard position.

Slipping outside a Left Lead:

As the opponent leads a straight left, shift your weight right and forward over yourright leg, swinging your left shoulder forward. The blow will slip over your leftshoulder. A short step forward and to the right with your right foot facilitates themovement. Your hands should be carried high in a guard position.

Slipping inside a Right Lead:

As the opponent leads a right punch, shift your weight over your lead right leg, thusmoving your body slightly to the right and forward. Bring your left shoulder quicklyforward. In doing so, the punch will slip over left shoulder. Be sure to rotate your lefthip inward and bend your knees slightly. The inside position is the preferred positionfor attack. Move your head separately only if the slip is to narrow.

Slipping outside a Right Lead:

As the opponent leads a right, drop your weight back on your left leg and quickly turnyour right shoulder and body to the right. Your right foot remains stationary and yourleft toe pivots inward. The punch will slip harmlessly by. Drop your right handslightly, but hold it ready to drive an uppercut to the opponents body. Your left hand

should be held high, near your right shoulder, ready to counter to the chin.


19/37


Page 19 of 37

Ducking:

Ducking is dropping the body forward under swings and hooks (hands or feet) directedat the head. It is executed primarily from the waist. Ducking is used as a means ofescaping blows and allowing the fighter to remain in range for a counterattack. It is

just as necessary to learn to duck swings and hooks as it is to slip straight punches.Both are important in counterattacks.

The Snap Back:

The snap back means simply to snap the body away from a straight lead enough tomake the opponent miss. As opponents arm relaxes to his body, it is possible to movein with a stiff counter. This is a very effective technique against a lead jab and mayalso he used as the basis of the one-two combination blow (Jab & Cross).

Rolling:

Rolling nullifies the force of a blow by moving the body with it.Against a straight blow, the movement is backwards.Against hooks, the movement is to either side.Against uppercuts, it is backward and away.Against hammers blows, it is a circular movement down to either side.

The Body Sway (Bob and Weave)

The art of swaying renders the fighter more difficult to hit and gives him more power,particularly with the hook. It is useful in that it leaves the hands open for attack,improving that defense and providing opportunities to hit hard when openings occur.The key to the sway is relaxation and the stiff, rigid type of boxer will be easier to dealwith than the ever-swaying type.

Mechanics of the Bob:

Sink under the swing or hook with a single, perfectly controlled movement.Bring your fists in toward your opponent for guarding or attacking.Maintain a nearly normal punching position with your legs and feet, even at the bottom

of the bob. Use your knees to provide the motion.Maintain at all times the normal slipping position of your head and shoulders for

defense against straight punches. It is extremely important that you be in positionto slip at any stage of the bob.

Dont counter on a straight-down bob except, perhaps, with a straight thrust to thegroin. Weave to apply delayed counters with whirling straight punches or hooks.

Stationary:

For Close Range Kicking: No Footwork is needed Except Perhaps for a Slight Pivot ofthe Supporting Foot.

Displacement Shuffle Kick:

Back Foot Shuffles (SKIP) Towards Direction of the Target, and Displaces the KickingFoot as it Kicks the Target. It is a Medium Range Kicking Tactic. Shuffle MovementsPut More Weight (Mass) and consequently more Power Behind the Kick.

Burning Foot Kick:

Same as the Displace Shuffle Kick Above, Except that you start the move by Steppinginto the Target with the Lead Leg, then Follow Up with the Displacement Shuffle Kick.This Kick is used for Three Reasons:

1. Provides more Power behind the Kick.2. Sets up Proper Body Alignment for Kicking the Target.3. For Bridging the Gap Between you and your opponent.


21/37

Fundamentals of Kicking

Kicks are secondary Techniques. They are used to follow up a hand attack or forBridging the Gap between you and your opponent.

Kicks are not chambered. They come directly from the ground.Proper Footwork is mandatory for the successful execution of kicks.

Hip rotation is the primary source of power in kicking.Most kicks are targeted below the belt.Kicking to the Head in a street fight is not recommended. (Kicking to the leg is a Better

Target.)When throwing a Side Kick or Hook Kick above the waist, the supporting Foot should

be pointing directly opposite from your Target. The purpose of this is to give youmaximum power by enhancing hip rotation.

When executing a Side or Back Kick, Strike with the bottom of the Heel; for maximumimpact potential.

When executing a Front Kick, a Forward Thrust of the hip while kicking will result inmore Impact power in the Kick, and also extend your Kicking range.

Proper positioning of the Hands while Kicking is very important. It gives your bodyprotection and enhances your Balance.The Side Kick and the Back Kick uses the same alignment & Dynamics of the body.

They are basically the same Kick, except for the direction of the Kick.Keep your Legs relaxed while kicking for maximum Speed and Power.
