Jeet Kune Do [JKD], which transalates as 'the way of the intercepting fist', was developed over a number of years by Bruce Lee as an anti-thesis to what he saw as the formulaic straightjacket of the classical martial arts which, he argued, failed to allow individuals to fully and honestly express themselves. However, as Cass Magda points out in his Foreword, JKD is definitely not a 'do-it-yourself' martial art and it does have a unique structure. Indeed, it is essential for the JKD fighter to master this structure if he, or she, is to present a highly organized defence and mount an instantaneous and effective counter-attack.

The
'one-inch punch'; the one finger press up; the Way Of The Intercepting
Fist. All are synonymous with Bruce Lee, the instantly recognisable film
icon. But how did an unruly kid from the backstreets of Hong Kong achieve
such worldwide celebrity and become the first Asian film-star to go global?
Made with the co-operation of Bruce's family and friends, plus fellow
film stars and martial artists, the film presents a balanced portrait
of the legend of Bruce Lee, building a complete picture of a great martial
artist and celebrity.
As well as covering Bruce's film career, 'Martial Arts Master' focuses
on Bruce as a visionary martial artist and includes exclusive insights
from Jim Kelly and Bolo Yeung (Enter The Dragon), Jackie Chan (Rush Hour),
student and friend James Coburn (Our Man Flint), Bruce's brother Robert
Lee plus other family members, friends and co-stars from throughout his
career.
The methods of Jeet Kune Do, the martial arts philosophy developed by
Lee are demonstrated by the select group of students taught by Lee himself.
The documentary also affords a rare glimpse of original training equipment
designed and used by the master, while the theories behind the 'one-inch
punch' are explained.
