Alphonse S. Kingston, Marine

[/i] for different situations. These systems are broken down into five ranges. These ranges are: Kicking, Punching, Trapping, and Grappling. All while techniques flow smoothly between the five. Jeet Kune Do is a very unknown style and the people that do know of its ways call it: "style without style" or "the art of fighting without fighting". Unlike more traditional martial arts, Jeet Kune Do is not fixed or patterned, and is a philosophy with guiding thoughts. It was named for the concept of interception, or attacking your opponent while he or she is about to attack. The creator of this hybrid style believed that combat was spontaneous, and that martial artist cannot predict it and only react to it.

Jeet Kune Do teaches that the best defense is a strong offense, hence the principle of an "intercepting fist". For a person to attack another hand-to-hand, the attacker must approach the target. This provides an opportunity for the attacked person to "intercept" the attacking movement. The principle of interception may be applied to more than intercepting physical attacks. The subtle movement that an opponent may be unaware of may be perceived or "intercepted" and thus be used to one's advantage.

This Hybrid style of martial arts should have ulitmate speed and non-telegraphic strikes. The attacks should catch the opponent off guard, throw them off balance, or leave the opponente unable to defend against further attacks. The concept behind this is that the Jeet Kune Do user initiates the attack without any forewarning, such as tensing the shoulders or moving the body and feet with adrupt unpredictable movements. In theory, the opponent will not have enough time to react. The key is that the Jeet Kune do user must keep their body and arms loose, weaving them slighty; only becoming tense upon impact. Any twitches or slight movements before striking should be avoided as they will give the opponent signs or hints as to what would be coming next, and they will be able to strike first while the user is preparing for an attack. Non-telegraphic movement is essential when using this style of fighting.

The core concepts behind Jeet Kune Do very from master to master. It's a style with no true meaning or concept - hence the nickname behind it. But, for Alphonse, he takes concepts and movements from three specific fighting-styles. Those three are: Fencing, Boxing, and Mauy thai. Fencing; for it's fluid and unpredictable ripostes. Boxing; for it's great ability to adjust to most any fighting situation. And Mauy Thai; for it's perfect control over the entire body.

OVERALL HISTORY:

[/i]; capable of taking out entire pirate ships with his glare alone. Of course these were all rumors, but no pirate crew attempted to discredit such a claim. Just hearing this caused the children to praise their father even more; they wanted to be just like him; hero of the weak. So, from that moment forward, the four siblings trained day in night in the way of Martial-Arts.

Years passed and pirates; some respectable while others remained not so respectable came and left the little out of the way land mass. By this time the four siblings have decided what they want to do with their life's and how to reach their goals. So, without any hesitation, the boys left their home island in search of their true calling. Alphonse drifted the seas of the south while the other siblings went in the three corresponding seas. The years came and went, and Alphonse has now found himself as a ranking member within the Marines. Now, to this day, he sails the blue making sure peace and order is maintained, and by any means necessary. [/ul]
