With Wing Chun at the core of his system, Bruce Lee incorporated a modification of various techniques from other martial arts such as Northern and Southern Praying Mantis, Choy Li Fut, Eagle Claw, Western Boxing, Wrestling, Fencing, Judo, Jiu Jitsu, and some of the more refined kicks of the Northern and Southern Chinese styles.  Innovative and radically ahead of his time in his training and teaching methodology, Bruce Lee developed a martial system and fighting strategy that has lost none of its effectiveness over time.

 

Emphasising the "ranges of combat", students are taught to confidently and with ease flow from long distance, "kicking range", to middle distance, "hand range", to close quarter, "trapping and grappling range".  The movements are crisp and efficient, utilising the most direct lines and angles.  JKD affords the practitioner a means by which to pursue the most direct line of attack, and once an attack has been launched there are no breaks or interruptions.  As one technique nears completion, it starts to blend into the next and so forth, in one continuous flowing motion until the conflict is resolved. 

 

Students training in Jun Fan Gung Fu are able to enhance their natural attributes such as co-ordination, timing, speed, endurance, strength and agility using the innovative teaching and training methods developed by Bruce Lee and preserved and taught today by his protégé, student and training partner Dan Inosanto.
