Accuracy makes you better at hitting your target; this will help you end the fight quicker and increase your chances for survival.

Efficient use of your body means that you minimize wasteful physical motions and get to the target with the least amount of exertion for the maximum benefit.

Physical fitness necessarily involves pushing your body to improve its attributes, including: stamina, strength, speed, agility, flexibility and endurance.

The Jeet Kune Do Approach

Self-defense is a natural instinct. From a baby’s reflexive kicking at an unwanted touch to our programmed fight-or-flight responses, we’ve had the self-defense survival instinct for as long as our species has been around. For thousands of years, all throughout the world, men have cultivated this instinct into formalized systems of self-defense complete with techniques, drills and exercises that build on our innate responses to form more effective and efficient methods. We are lucky, in this day and age, to be able to witness, learn and experience this culmination of martial wisdom and adopt what is most vital for our survival.
