Sleep No More, Nitehawk Cinema, The Public Theater, St. Ann's Warehouse, PS 122, New Museum, MOMA, IFC, Film Forum, Park Avenue Armory..

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. It is our contention that Bruce Lee was a superior martial artist not because of how he chipped away at his own martial art tradition but rather because he actually had deep roots in a tradition to subsequently able him to chip away from. So, rather than focusing on Bruce's later result, the philosophical concept of JKD, …
