All weight is underside
I recently had the opportunity given to me to take a free class in Jeet Kune Do and I will say the class changed my mind on my view of it. Until the class I did not have anything against Jeet Kune Do but I looked at it as kick boxing with eye jabs…. I now feel it is a bit more than that, quite a bit more and I currently look at Jun Fan as Wing Chun simplified on steroids.
I have come across a few JKD guys that have told me how awesome their style is and how much all others are no good and some even said that Wing Chun was useless. But I will say the guy teaching did not have that attitude at all. He felt that Wing Chun was rather important and that it was the foundation of Jun fan Gun Fu and without a foundation in Jun fan Gung Fu you would never understand Jeet Kune Do and I have to tell you it all made a lot of sense to me.
I may go back and actually train some Jun Fan, still not sure about that but I have been doing some research, and I came across these two articles (by Lamar M. Davis II) that I thought may be of interest to Wing Chun, Jun Fan and JKD practitioners
Wing Chun to Jun Fan to Jeet Kune Do (Ip man to Bruce Lee)
The Wing Chun/Jeet Kune Do Foundation Structure Connection
There are a couple other articles here as well
