Hello all,
What do you think of Bruce's creation of Jun Fan Gung Fu? He never studied the full Wing Chun system after all, maybe he should have studied it in full before improving it.
I'm always put off going to a JKD school because of th Jun Fan portion, because I would personally prefer to study classical wing chun, so I could see for myself.
I've been to a couple of Ron Balicki seminars, and I really enjoyed them, quite liked the JKD parts, but I feel like I'd be studying a watered down version of modified wing chun.
Bruce Lee didn't like forms, and he taught Chi Sau,
but I believe that Bruce's chi sau was so good, because of his hours and hours of form practice in the past.
I don't think Bruce understood the true meaning and value of forms and kata.
I'm an open minded martial artist, and I hope I don't appear ignorant, I love cross training, and I love the JKD concept, and the flowing of ranges.
I just feel uncomfortable with the jun fan gung fu.
What are your views?
Thank you, best wishes!
