Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do (JKD) is often described as "scientific" in the sense that it emphasizes efficiency, directness, and practicality. Lee's approach to martial arts was influenced by his study of various fighting styles and his belief in adapting techniques that were most effective in real combat situations.

He encouraged a pragmatic approach, focusing on what worked best rather than adhering strictly to traditional techniques or forms. This includes analyzing and testing techniques through practical application and understanding the principles behind them, which can be seen as a scientific method of refining martial arts. So, while JKD itself isn't scientific in the traditional sense, its methodology incorporates a rational and empirical approach to fighting.
