Introduction to Applied Thematic Analysis
Abstract: Unsatisfied with the limitations imposed by any one particular martial art, Bruce Lee developed his own composite fighting style, which he called " Jeet Kune Do " (the way of the intercepting fist). Jeet Kune Do is not a novel set of fighting techniques , but rather a more focused style of combat that synthesizes the most useful techniques from numerous fighting arts. For Lee, this was an emancipatory endeavor that allowed practitioners of Jeet Kune Do to choose from a wide range of techniques and employ the most appropriate ones for a given objective. In Lee's words: I have not invented a "new style," composite, modified or otherwise that is set within distinct form as apart from "this" method or "that" method. On the contrary, I hope to free my followers from clinging to styles, patterns, or molds.. . [A] Jeet Kune Do man who says Jeet Kune Do is exclusively Jeet Kune Do is…still hung up on his self-closing resistance, in this case anchored down to reactionary pattern, and naturally is still bound by another modified pattern and can move within its limits. He has not digested the simple fact that truth exists outside all molds; pattern and awareness [are] never exclusive. (Lee, 1971, p. 24) Qualitative research is analogous in many ways to martial arts. Approaches to qualitative data collection and analysis are numerous, representing a diverse range of epistemological, theoretical, and disciplinary perspectives. Yet most researchers, throughout their career, cling to one style with which they are familiar and comfortable, to the exclusion (and often disparagement) of all others. In the spirit of Jeet Kune Do, we feel that good data analysis (and research design, for that matter) combines appropriate elements and techniques from across traditions and epistemological perspectives. In our view, the theoretical or philosophical foundation provides a framework for inquiry, but it is the data collection and analysis processes and the outcome of those processes that are
