Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do Nucleus
Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do is a non-profit corporation formed for
the sole purpose of preserving and perpetuating Bruce Lee's art and philosophy which he
called Jeet Kune Do. Its existence began in Seattle, Washington on January 10, 1996 when
Linda Lee Cadwell invited many of Bruce Lee's students among others to discuss the state
of her late husband's martial art with her and Shannon, their daughter. Its Board of
Directors is the Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do Nucleus and is currently comprised of 13 original
students, 5 second generation students, Bruce Lee's widow and daughter.
Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do functions as an educational organization to inform the martial arts
community and the public worldwide about Bruce Lee's body of work. The Nucleus feels that
Bruce Lee's philosophy and way of life represent an inspiring model of thought and can
motivate others to develop their full physical and spiritual potential. In order to
maintain the integrity of Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do, the Nucleus wants to give a clear and
accurate picture of Bruce Lee's evolution in the martial arts.
It is this set of basic technical, scientific, and philosophical principles - the
foundation of Bruce Lee's art - that the Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do Nucleus seeks to preserve.
Ideally, every person who understands the basic principles of Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do should
end up expressing himself uniquely, that is, he or she will absorb techniques that are
personally useful and reject what is unsuitable while adding what is specifically their
own. When that individual reaches the stage of artlessness, or the height of simplicity,
then truly they will have found their own expression of Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do, different
from anyone else's. But one cannot reach that pinnacle without having assembled the
building blocks.
The Nucleus decided that Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do would be an organization established for the
purpose of promoting understanding through providing the means for those seeking
information about the art of Bruce Lee. The Nucleus plans to implement its educational
program by means of seminars, group and individual instruction, and the publishing of
written, visual, and audio materials. Towards this end, the Nucleus will build a
membership of persons skilled and knowledgeable in Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do who will form the
vanguard of the future and will continue the pattern of growth toward greater spiritual
awareness initiated by Bruce Lee.
Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do is a non-profit corporation. Any revenue received by the organization
through seminars, memberships, publications will be utilized to further the educational
goals of the corporation. Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do (JFJKD) is a trademarked name and cannot be

Nucleus. Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do is not associated with any other organization using the name
