The Original Art
Experience Jeet Kune Do exactly as Bruce Lee developed it — the original Way of the Intercepting Fist. While many schools teach other martial arts under the JKD name, our program focuses on the authentic art as Bruce Lee intended.
Bruce Lee created Jeet Kune Do between 1967 and 1973, refining his personal expression of martial arts through schools in Seattle, Oakland, and Los Angeles. Unlike traditional styles, JKD is not rigid — it evolves with the individual.
In our training, you’ll learn the original techniques, principles, and philosophy, while being encouraged to adapt what works for you, discard what doesn’t, and develop your own effective methods.
Train like Bruce Lee. Learn the original Jeet Kune Do. Transform your skills, mindset, and approach to martial arts.

Earn Certification
Advance your skills and earn rank and certification through our extremely detailed, easy-to-follow lessons. The program spans 8 ranks and over 40 hours of comprehensive instruction, guiding you step by step from beginner to advanced levels.
You are encouraged to explore and study independently, comparing your training with Bruce Lee’s writings and philosophy. The JKD Process is a research-based approach design to ensure you have a deeper understanding of Jeet Kune Do, not just classroom memorization. This is not a “blackbelt factory”—standards are high. Students are expected not only to perform techniques proficiently but also to explain the principles behind them.
In the advanced ranks, sparring becomes essential, because just as one cannot learn to swim without getting in the water, true mastery in combat requires real application. Learn, apply, and grow with a program designed to produce skilled, knowledgeable, and confident Jeet Kune Do practitioners.

Rank and Certification
Certification Is Optional—Mastery Is the Goal: The JKD Process offers optional online certification and instructorship for those interested in earning rank or teaching Jeet Kune Do. But true JKD is not about belts or ranks—it’s about developing the skills and ability to defend yourself and your loved ones. Bruce Lee originally used ranks in his schools, but as he evolved Jeet Kune Do, he eliminated the ranking system, believing belts and titles were unnecessary for real mastery.
Bruce Lee believed that true growth in Jeet Kune Do comes from personal dedication and skill, not chasing belts or certifications. While he eliminated ranks, The JKD Process offers optional certification for those who want to track their progress or pursue instructorship.
Our 8-rank system mirrors the original format Bruce developed, from beginner through instructorship, with all testing conducted live online. Because you get instant access to the full program, you can progress at your own pace—fast or slow. There’s no waiting between tests: if you’re ready for the next rank, you can test immediately.
Whether your goal is to teach Jeet Kune Do or simply master the art, The JKD Process Online Program gives you the tools, guidance, and flexibility to get there.
