coined the term Jeet Kune Do around 1962
Did Bruce Lee

Seattle, Oakland,
and Los Angeles

certificates he "gave" to students
Yes he did. He
had a ranking system of levels 1 through 3, and other
names at times.
Did Bruce Lee
charge for his lessons
Lee was well paid
for his lessons, and of course you get what you pay
for. Free martial arts lessons are worth exactly what
you pay for them..

Because he could.
Lee charged $1000 per hour for his private lessons.
What is the difference
in Original Jeet Kune Do that Lee taught and Jeet Kune

Jeet Kune
Do
I heard that Jeet
Kune Do was not a style, but yet you call it a style,
Why?
Bruce Lee was a
man of contradictions and loved the philosophy of the
martial arts and of life. He said many things to get
you to think for yourself and not just limit yourself
to what others have said. That being stated, Lee had
a set list of techniques and curriculum that he taught
at his three schools that he continued to modify and
had a private training manual that listed the techniques
and referred to JKD as a style.
Can I take several
styles and put them together to make my own Jeet Kune
Do
This has been done
and it is called Jeet Kune Do Concepts
What makes up
Jeet Kune Do
Combat modified Wing Chun Gung Fu, Boxing,
French Fencing and Grappling in the final stages of
JKD evolution
Did
Bruce Lee do Jeet Kune Do in his movies
No he did mostly flashy moves from Tae Kwon Do he learned
from his good friend Jhoon Rhee who brought TKD to the
United States. And no TKD is not part of JKD.
Are there
high kicks in Jeet Kune Do
No all kicks are low level. Lee referred to high kicks
to the head like punching a man in the foot.
Is Jeet
Kune Do a mixed martial art
We have heard JKD referred to as the first MMA. That
being said MMA has no structure or foundation and those
who train loose interest rapidly as there is no organizational
learning. There must be a method to be learned not just
a bunch of moves thrown together for an end. JKD is
very organized an methodical as well as philosophical.
So JKD as MMA, NO.
If Bruce
Lee would have lived longer would Jeet Kune Do have
changed or evolved
Yes, as Lee changed JKD many times over his lifetime.
Our guess is that he would have added more weapons.
Is Jeet
Kune Do a complete art
Yes JKD is a well rounded martial art with three phases
of learning if all original phases are included as we
have done.

Be able to answer questions on Jeet Kune Do
Combat Sparring
Can I really learn JKD from a
video
The DVD's are setup
to be just like a private lesson with you and the instructor.
There is no difference in instruction in person or from
DVD. When you test for rank progression you will be
sent corrections and suggestions for improvement if
needed via email direct from the World Jeet Kune Do
Federation President as he is the only one who grades
tests and approves rank certificates. DVD's are easy
to understand and you work out at your own pace
How many students
have learned from the Videos
Many many thousands
of students have trained and learned with our ground
breaking teaching methods.
Ok, So i order
your dvd's and I have a question, what do I do
Just send us an
email
How do I test
for rank certificates
To learn Jeet Kune Do in our DVD program. You order
the DVD's and practice what is taught. Each DVD is setup
to be just like a private lesson with Professor Hargrave
President of the World Jeet Kune Do Federation. The
Original JKD Training Manual follows along with each
DVD level and lists the rank requirements Level 2 (the
first level, as level 1 is like a white belt) through
Level 12.
Once you have the moves down that you have seen on
the DVD, send us a video of you doing them just like
in our DVD and we grade them and contact you to let
you know if you have passed the level test or what
you need to work on. . There are no time limits as
to how often you can test. Your skill level is all
we are concerned with.
How much does it cost to test
Student rank testing fee�s with
certificates Level 2-6 $50 each level, Level 7-8 $60
each level, 9-10 $75 each level, 11-12 $90 each level
, Black Sash $350 for non instructors.
What format of
test video do you accept
The video can be VHS, or you can send
DVD, CD or video file MPEG etc. The
Where do I send
the test video
World Jeet Kune
Do Federation Headquarters, P.O. Box 52820, Tulsa, Oklahoma
74152, USA
Do I need a training
partner
It is a requirement
at some point that you have a partner to show us your
jointlock maneuvers, takedowns, throws, and sparring
moves. Your partner does not need any skill other than
to be there for the block and counters and grappling
moves. We have found that students progress much faster
when two or more are working for the same goal and helping
each other.
What do the certificates
look like
Picture coming
soon
Why is the World
Jeet Kune Do Federation training program so much more
successful than all other combined
Simply put, it works. No one sells more
JKD training materials than we do, period. No one has
trained more JKD students than us. We take pride in
what we do, helping others.

Instructors and the WJKDF
Can I become
an Instructor with the WJKDF
Yes you can train with us to become a teacher, or if
you have training we can evaluate you for our certifications.
How I become
an Instructor with the WJKDF
All of our full instructors must have current membership, a
set of DVD's and the Original Jeet Kune Do Training
Manual to make sure everyone teaches the original JKD
system just like Bruce Lee at his three famous schools.
You then send us a video of you doing the moves listed
in the manual and demonstrated on the DVD's and we grade
you to the level of your skill. If you have little previous
training in original JKD then you can progress up the
rank levels 2-12, then full instructor. The first level
to begin teaching that you can begin with is apprentice
instructor trainee available to all. You will need a
training partner and you should send videos of
your tests. We may also customize your instructor test,
and request video of the requirements being demonstrated.
That is how you become a certified instructor. If
you have previous training and ranking in JKD then please
send us scans of your certificates. All instructors
must have a link with our logo to www.leejkd.com
or www.jeetkunedo.org,
along with a statement in your bio that you are a supporter
of the WJKDF, etc.
What does
it cost to test for Instructor with the WJKDF
The first step is the apprentice trainee which is $75,
then you test for the Apprentice $250, then Full Instructor
$400, and for those who have been teaching real JKD
for over 10 years you can contact us for master certification
$500
Hey if I
just order the certification online does that make me
an Instructor with the WJKDF
No, you have to fulfill all of the training requirements
before you get anything from us.
I have had
training in JKD but I have no rank certificates because
my teacher didn't be live in rank certificates cab I
become an Instructor with the WJKDF
Send us your information and we will verify it with
them. Even with that information we may need to see
you in action in person or via video of some sort.
I an not an Instructor
with the WJKDF but will you list me on your instructor
list because I see that you get four million hits on
your list page and I want that advertisement for my
school for free.
Thank you for your wanting to be a part
of our list, but we can only put our approval on those
we have certified at this time.
