Jeet Kune Do

The taijitu represents the concepts of yin and yang(☯). The Chinese characters mean: "Using no way as way" and "Having no limitation as limitation". The arrows represent the endless interaction between yin and yang.[1]
Jeet Kune Do (Chinese: 截拳道; Jyutping: zit6 kyun4 dou6; literally: "stop fist way or: way of the intercepting fist"[n 1]; abbreviated JKD) is a hybrid martial art conceived and practiced by martial artist Bruce Lee.
