Wing Chun & Bruce Lee

Bruce Lee is probably the most well known Martial Artist of all time. It is because of his influence that many people all over the world began their training in the martial arts.

Bruce Lee began his Martial Arts studies with Wing Chun under the tutelage of the late Grandmaster Ip Man and although he later went on to develop another style (largely founded in Wing Chun techniques and principles) it is a known fact that when Bruce Lee got into real life situations he reverted back to his Wing Chun techniques (Glover, Jesse, R. Bruce Lee: Between Wing Chun and Jeet Kun Do. Author published, 1976.)

An interesting Article below with One of Bruce Lee's qualified JKD Instructors (From Black Belt Magazine, August 1995 p.42-44)

(BLACK BELT MAGAZINE) - Were there certain topics you learned from Lee, but couldn't impart to other students?

(DAN INOSANTO) - He used to say that under no circumstances could I teach: Double pak sao(slap block)
Pak Sao bil jee (slap block/finger jab)
Pak sao lop sao (slap block/grabbing hand)
Bruce said these were his big secrets!!!!!

NOTE: The restricted techniques were all

PURE Wing Chun
