Description

Yin Yang Logo (Jun Fan Gung Fu Institute Logo) in gold and red colors; Chinese characters surround the logo.

Context

The emblem of the JKD school used the Yin/Yang symbol with two arrows encircling it, implying the interdependency of all things, not dualistic forces, but one inseparable force of one unceasing interplay of movement. The surrounding characters phrase is: "Using no way as way; having no limitations as limitation." The plaques represent Bruce Lee's personal journey of self-cultivation. Specifically designed by Bruce Lee, the original plaques hung in his Jun Fan Gung Fu Institute in Los Angeles.
