Jeet Kune Do is the fighting style associated with Liu Kang in Mortal Kombat.
Liu Kang is portrayed as a Shaolin monk and one of Earthrealm’s principal champions. His fighting style draws from Jeet Kune Do, the martial-art philosophy and approach developed by Bruce Lee. The association helps explain Liu Kang’s fast strikes, direct movement, and famous flying kick.
The games use martial-arts styles as part of character presentation, especially in the 3D-era entries, where fighters could switch between named styles during combat. These labels are part of Mortal Kombat’s fictionalized combat system rather than exact representations of real-world training.
Liu Kang’s style should not be confused with his signature special moves. The Flying Bicycle Kick and fireball are techniques associated with his gameplay, while Jeet Kune Do identifies the broader fighting style connected to the character.
