We are here to preserve and practice the martial philosophy which encompasses, but in no way binds, the essence of Jeet Kune Do as professed by the late great founder Bruce Lee.

So, rather than focusing on Bruce's later result, the philosophical concept of JKD, …

Before that, what we now know as Taiji was called by other names, such as hao ch'uan' (translated 'loose boxing') or its more correct name of dim-mak (translated 'the striking of the vital points' or 'death-point striking'). It's ironic that the art most people call Taiji has now been reduced to a wimp's boxing rather than the 'supreme ultimate boxing,' which is what T'ai chi ch'uan means. Once …

Although T.A.C.T.I.C.S. is rooted in the Korean Arts, it has melded with techniques from many other combat systems and adheres to the "universal principles" of all martial arts.
