Red Triangle student Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Hi, I was just wondering what the name of Bruce Lee's Martial Art was? I remember watching a program about his Martial Art and he said a Karate punch is "Like an Iron Bar" and a (Dont know the name of his style) Ounch is like a ball with a chain on the end. So will someone refresh my memory please and tell me the name of that style. "To be elated at success, and dissappointed at defeat, is to be the child of Circumstances." I wish I followed that rule! ^^ I hate Losing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Warlock Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Wing chun wasn't his art, it was merely his foundation. He studied wing chun for about 5 years. His art is jun fan do. He developed a philosophy of fighting called jeet kune do. All three were stages in his evolution. All three he eventually left (closing his schools, etc) and he ended up last with "way, no way" or "style, without style." His closing of his schools was an effort to emphasize that a 'preset style' was not a viable foundation for understanding. Okay, that's enough...

I thought his Wing Chun was in actual practice in China for 2 years, then he moved to Washington and wound up teaching there at college. I don't know, though. And then he developed Jun Fan, and then Jeet Kune Do, like you said. Totally off topic, I think he's at least the baddest man of the last couple centuries, if not significantly longer. I'm magic. It's just that if I showed my magic in public, people would die, and I don't want that kind of burden to live with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
