JKD in STMA

 The Cantonese word for Interception is Jeet - as in Jeet Kune Do



The Japanese word would be BOJU - Interception or Intercepting

Boju Ken Do would be Interception Fist Way

Boju Do Ken - Intercepting Way Fist


Ken is Fist and Do is Way in Japan

Ken is the Sword in Kendo and Kenjutsu - "weapon" and "fist" being the same in concept


Kenpo means Fist Law


We use the BOJU in Kenjutsu - the Intercepting Thrust

Boju Tsuki


Interestingly, in Chinese, Kune is Way and Do is Fist, as the order is different

Jeet Kune Do is actually Intercepting Way Fist


The Way of the Intercepting Kick would be Jeet Kune Tek - Intercepting Way Kick


So as we use primarily Japanese MA we could say we do not do JKD we do

BDK - Boju Do Ken - Intercepting Way Fist

or

BDT - Boju Do Tsuki - Intercepting Way Thrust
