By prescribing to the Jun Fan method of training the practitioner gains increasing levels of proficiency in, body sensitivity, the scientific implementation of body mechanics and the intelligent application of force and movement through ranges of combat and time. Through this “way”, the student will learn the principals of attack and defense by practicing and applying Jeet Kune Do’s five methods of attack.
