This is what we call the “stop-hit” in fencing. As Nadi noted, “The great advantage of the stop-thrust over the counterattack-proper is that it can be performed against fast, correctly executed attacks—stopping them in their tracks.”7 The stop-hit, executed mainly with the straight lead, is such an important principle of Jeet Kune Do that this is where Bruce Lee’s art derives its very name. In Cantonese, jeet means “intercepting” or “stopping,” kune means “fist,” and do is “the way.” Translated in English, Jeet Kune Do is quite literally “The Way of the Intercepting Fist.”
