Techniques

One of the most important aspects of Jeet Kune Do for Lee was combat realism. Lee wanted to differeniate the art from other systems with less "flowery techniques" (Lee's words). Lee argued that flashy techniques would look good, but not necessarily be useful in a street-fight.

Jeet Kune Do students train in 4 areas equally, known as the "Four Ranges of Combat". These are:

Kicking
Punching
Trapping
Grappling
Lee believed that training in this way would separate Jeet Kune Do from other arts.
