Jeet Kune Do as a system makes it easy for novices, as well as those who are experienced to learn self defense, due to its strong core principles based, on simplicity, economy of motion (no wasted motion/energy), using the longest weapon to the nearest target, always thinking of hitting and finally the ability to adapt to any opponent.
