The Jun Fan Martial Arts are the training methods originally developed by Si-Gung Bruce Lee in the 1960's during his exploration of the principles and theories of JKD. It is a core foundation that can help you to discover the concepts of Jeet Kune Do. The Jun Fan Martial Arts are a blend of modified Wing Chun Gung Fu, Western Boxing, Fencing, several Northern & Southern Chinese Gung Fu styles and various grappling disciplines. The Jun Fan Martial Arts can be broken down into two main areas: Jun Fan Kickboxing and Jun Fan Trapping (within the trapping/in-fighting program will be elements of Grappling and Ground-fighting). Most styles favor one or two ranges, Jun Fan incorporates all four ranges (Kicking, Punching, Trapping and Grappling). As a set curriculum, Jun Fan may be limited to specific techniques and training, while Jeet Kune Do has no such limitation. While Jun Fan is one tool that can be used to train the principles and concepts of JKD, it is not the only one.
