What Does Bruce Lee and Navy SEALS have in Common

 
 

What does Bruce Lee and Navy SEALS Team 6 have in common? The answer is Jeet Kune Do (JKD). Bruce Lee has been called the father of MMA (mixed martial arts) by Dana White UFC president. He developed a street mixed martial arts system that he called Jeet Kune Do. Paul Vunak a second generation JKD instructor and my teacher was the self defense instructor of Navy SEALS Team 6. Navy SEAL team 6 is the best of the best of the SEALS. Yes, the same team that killed Osama Bin Laden. Progressive Fighting System (PFS)  Jeet Kune Do has been taught to FBI, CIA, SWAT teams, US Marshals, DEA, Marine Corps Counter Intelligence and over 50 police departments. PFS JKD/Filthy MMA is the ultimate martial art for street defense. In this month issue of Black Belt magazine Senior Jeet Kune Do instructor Harinder Singh and who is also my instructor wrote a two part article which Black Belt magazine entitled “How Bruce Lee’s Martial Art Became the Ultimate Fighting System.”  As a retired Prison Guard at a maximum security prison, US Marine Corps Sergeant and Kung Fu Master I can tell you that this is the best street defense system I've ever encountered.

Contemporary Jeet Kune Do is the evolution of Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do. My school Anta’s Fitness and Self Defense is an authorized Progressive Fighting Systems (PFS) training center under its creator Paul Vunak. PFS is an international organization dedicated to the exploration and teachings of realistic, street self defense. PFS is based upon the concepts of Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do and the Filipino fighting arts as taught by Bruce Lee’s main protégé Dan Inosantos. Vunak also integrated the techniques of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and other systems of self defense. Now you can learn the fighting system of the Navy SEALS and numerous law enforcement agencies right here in Doral.

PFS Jeet Kune Do training prepares you to survive a street encounter. Whether you are a child being picked on by the school yard bully, an adult, a woman or a law enforcement officer up holding the peace to prepare yourself for a street encounter, your fighting has to mimic all potential mutations that might possibly occur. Let me give you an example of PFS JDK training. We start the practice session by stick fighting, then drop your stick pull out your blade (for adults only) and continue the match knife fighting. Throw down your blade and continue with kickboxing; then enter into trapping range, implement head butts, elbows and knees. Then take the fight to the ground and go into Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and look for the appropriate time to use Kina Mutai (uninterrupted biting and eye gouging). We might just throw a second student in to attack you. Training in this manner emphasizes the realty of a street fight.

JKD sounds like a very good martial art. I haven't seen too much of it myself or even know anything about it, but you painted a pretty good picture of it. I think most schools should begin incorporating a more street style class. That's where people get attacked and unfortunately those people don't know the rules of the local MA school. Great post!
