Martial arts vary from person to person

“The practice of most martial arts is just an imitation of the right and wrong, a factory product that has lost its uniqueness.” Grandmaster Bruce Lee said, "I believe that teaching (note: please note it is 'teaching' and not 'teaching') proper self-defense techniques should be individualized. We all have different bodies and minds, so we should each learn to adapt to our own needs. The right method, what I mean by the right method, is the most effective technology that someone can use. As long as we find out what he is good at, we can improve these technologies." As early as the early 1960s, the museum was opened in the United States. Bruce Lee had already emphasized this point very much. When teaching his disciples, he never liked to instill knowledge into the students in large quantities, and he was even less willing to teach in groups. Later, he only taught and tutored a single person, thinking that the effect would be better only in this way. As the "Dragon Son", Li Guohao once said in an interview with reporters during his lifetime: "The kung fu of Jeet Kune Do was designed by my father who combined all the kung fu in the world and combined it with his own body shape and physical strength. In addition to my father Bruce Lee, this kung fu "Except, no one can learn it, not even me, because there is only one Bruce Lee in the world." Li Guohao's words are not to pour cold water on people who love Jeet Kune Do and are eager to learn this skill, but to further emphasize Jeet Kune Do. The philosophy of boxing is that "martial arts should vary from person to person". Therefore, if you only know how to blindly follow and imitate, you will never find the true meaning of martial arts. The same punch and kick, if kicked by Bruce Lee, is "Jet Kune Do", but if you imitate it mechanically and then send it out, it may not be "Jet Kune Do". You must study hard, integrate the philosophy of Jeet Kune Do, and seek the best fighting method that suits you; at the same time, you must combine your own physique, thoughts, body shape and other characteristics to create a martial arts that is completely suitable for you. At this time, whether the specific moves you use are kung fu, Muay Thai, karate or boxing, they can all be called "Jet Kune Do", and you will truly understand and master the unique art of Jeet Kune Do. In front of Bruce Lee's tomb in Seattle, there is a beautiful stone carving book. On the opened page, on the left side are engraved in Chinese the famous saying "use the impossible as law, use the infinite as the limited" and the Zhenfan Jeet Kune Do symbol - Tai Chi diagram. It highly summarizes Bruce Lee's academic achievements throughout his life; on the right, engraved in English are the words of dedication from Mrs. Lee, Mrs. Linda Lee, and the disciples of Zhenfan Jeet Kune Do to the great master Bruce Lee: "Your spirit in heaven still guides us on the road to personal liberation." Yes, as Bruce Lee once said: "Like other arts, martial arts is fundamentally a kind of rational self-understanding. A punch or a kick not only defeats the opponent in front of you, but also defeats your selfishness." Psychologically, get rid of your fear and all your psychological barriers, because once you understand this truth, you will gain true freedom.

Jet Kune Do Gym

With the popularity of Jeet Kune Do internationally and domestically, more and more Jeet Kune Do organizations have been established.

In 2009, Master Zhang Anbang invited Bruce Lee’s disciple Bastillo. The master went to the original Jeet Kune Do Hall in Nanjing to give lectures. Through unremitting efforts, he obtained the first Bruce Lee second-generation direct certified instructor certificate in the Mainland in 2014. Later, Jeet Kune Do spread, and many latecomers successively obtained higher-level second-generation coaches. Directly certified coaching certificates have become the backbone of the promotion of Jeet Kune Do in China.

In 2009, Dr. Wei Feng registered the International Jeet Kune Do Federation in Macau and established an international organization to promote Jeet Kune Do. There are about 70 Jeet Kune Do Federation gyms in many places across the country.

Currently, there are Jeet Kune Do gyms all over the country, including Beijing, Shanghai and Heilongjiang. Guangdong-Jiangsu-Chongqing-Zhejiang-Jinan and other places. According to Bruce Lee, although the origin of Chinese martial arts is very old, it is a pity that due to the conservative traditional character of the Chinese people, it cannot be as widely spread in other countries as judo, karate, boxing, boxing, Thai boxing, etc. All over the world. The biggest reason is that the teaching method and promotion system of Jeet Kune Do have not been perfected, and to this day, the Chinese still hold the concept that "a disciple cannot teach until he is a master". Extremely vague.

Some people teach boxing for a lifetime, but say that none of their disciples have learned all his skills; others only teach his disciples for two or three years, and then say that he has mastered the skills and is ready to teach; sometimes not only within the same sect, but even within the same division This kind of unstandardized commitment also occurs in the world, so whether one is "satisfied with the master" or not often depends only on the master's words. Therefore, Bruce Lee has formulated a promotion system since 1970. After several years of repeated revisions, this system has become an international unified promotion system and has even obtained "legal" status in many countries. According to Bruce Lee's plan requirements, the promotion of Jeet Kune Do can be divided into the following steps.

Level 1: Starting from beginner level, learn various basic skills and basic practical techniques to lay a solid foundation. That is to say, we strive to enable learners to achieve in this stage of practice, although they may not be able to truly and thoroughly understand what they have learned, but at least they can clearly master, apply, and teach the techniques they have learned to others. This situation is like that of most craftsmen. Although they have learned a manufacturing or repair skill, they only know what they have learned but do not know why.

Level 2: Learn all basic techniques and begin to learn theoretical qualities such as martial arts tips and tactical applications. The key to reaching this level is not that the practitioner reaches a perfect level, but that he or she must be able to practice to a standard technique and know how to use Jeet Kune Do to fight with others. At the same time, because he is still young and has not yet mastered the skills of passing on skills, he is only at the "assistant coach" level.

Level 3: At this stage, boxers can start special quality training, such as psychological training, trait training, etc., and can start practicing equipment catching methods, or use certain training courses in the equipment To supplement the deficiencies in boxing skills.

Level 4: At this stage, all the martial arts techniques of Jeet Kune Do have been perfected and can be used in actual combat confrontation and fighting. Footwork and all lower body skills should also be mastered to a certain extent. Roughly speaking, the overall curriculum in Jeet Kune Do is complete. This stage can be said to be the most important training in Jeet Kune Do. The proficiency of a person who learns Jeet Kune Do has a decisive relationship with this stage. In other words, in the first three stages, even if one is familiar with all the techniques of Jeet Kune Do, if one does not master the fighting method, it will be like getting something of no use, like entering a treasure mountain and returning empty-handed. Moreover, basic technology is like a "tool", and actual combat is like a "how to use a tool." If you don't know how to use it, what's the point of using the tool? Therefore, you can only be proficient and use it as you wish when it comes to real fighting. And it accounts for the four major elements of speed, accuracy, strength and ruthlessness.

Level 5: At this stage, practitioners must not only learn all the unarmed techniques and equipment fighting methods in the Jeet Kune method, but also must repeatedly hone their skills and skills to increase their fighting ability. Possibility of winning. In addition, one should also start to study other martial arts schools and find out the unique styles and fighting characteristics of each school, so as to reach the point where one knows oneself and the enemy, and is victorious in every battle. This can also lead to the state of being able to attack jade with stones from other mountains.

Level 6: At this stage, roughly speaking, more than a year of study and training has passed. Now all the courses have been learned. Whether he can become a great master in the future depends on his personal development. This stage is just self-cultivation, which includes further improving one's own skills and participating in high-level competitions.

Level 7: This is one of the "ideal" realms. If you practice to this level, you will no longer have any doubts about various issues in the principles of Jeet Kune Do. Because he has reached the level of martial arts. And according to Bruce Lee, the sect has designated this level as an advanced qualification. Except for the top person in charge, he has become a "model" for coaches at all levels in Jeet Kune Boxing training. Boxers who are promoted to this level must not only be publicly selected by the senior coaches of the school, but also must have certain achievements in martial arts, as well as the glorious spread of the boxing method of the school.

Level 8: This is also the ideal stage. It should be a stage where a person not only has mastered the art of Jeet Kune, but also knows the pros and cons of general martial arts. At this point, Jeet Kune Do is no longer a technique, but a philosophy. Boxers who reach this level can lead their sect to develop affairs in various places, and are eligible to establish their own Kung Fu gym.

Level 9: Theoretically, when a practitioner reaches this level, he is already extremely wise and intelligent, and any martial art is no longer mysterious to him. At this point, it can be said that we have reached the point of "using martial arts to enter philosophy" and "making a successful family". In fact, only Bruce Lee achieved this level.

Level 10: This is just an illusory realm of ideals, because Bruce Lee believes that people always have shortcomings and no one can achieve a truly perfect state. This stage focuses on the cultivation of "Dharma". Since this is the highest state of aspiration, it can no longer be achieved in time. Moreover, "Dharma" is so illusory and mysterious that some people can suddenly realize it, while others may remain ignorant for the rest of their lives. , so it is quite difficult to set a standard for this realm. Today, these titles are used as a kind of honorific for those with high status in the sect.

The first level of Jeet Kune Do is a blank circle, which symbolizes the original state of freedom. The second level is a Tai Chi diagram with green and white Yin/Yang arrow curves surrounding the green and white colors. The third level uses purple and white to represent yin and yang. The fourth level is gray and white. The fifth level is red and white. Level 6 is golden yellow and white. The seventh level is red and golden, which is the logo of our Zhenfan Guoshu Hall. The eighth level is also the highest and is a blank circle, returning to its original state. In other words, all the levels mentioned above are only used to remove dross, impurities and excess.” It consists of six relatively independent but closely related parts: 1. Wing Chun (Zhen Fan); 2. Kung Fu (Zhen Fan); 3. Western boxing (Zhen Fan); 4. Kickboxing (Zhen Fan); 5. Capture; 6. The basic technical structure of Zhenfan weapons includes four areas: 1. Boxing and upper body attack techniques; 2. Kicks and knee techniques; 3. Joint grappling, suffocation and strangulation techniques; 4. Wrestling and ground fighting techniques ④. Its most important theoretical basis is the "three elements" of Jeet Kune Do proposed by Bruce Lee (simplification, directness, and non-traditionality), and the "four ranges" theory (i.e., boxing range, kicking range, Trapping range and locking range) and the "four principles" of self-development (absorbing the useful, discarding the useless, adding one's own uniqueness, and forming one's own uniqueness), this is the most popular master Irusanto in the world today. The scientific theory and practice of Jeet Kune Do is the basis for the formation and development of the "Jet Kune Do concept" system. 1. Jeet Kune Do is a complete martial arts system that integrates the spiritual philosophy of self-liberation, life success science and scientific street fighting skills. , and Wing Chun is mainly a scientific technical attack.

2. Wing Chun is characterized by immersed positional warfare, while Jeet Kune Do is characterized by mobile and distance-controlled combat, thus making its techniques and tactics better. The focus is different from Wing Chun. It is more flexible and diverse, with more emphasis on footwork and movement. It relies on rhythm disruption, changes in angles and routes to mobilize the opponent, thereby breaking their psychological and physiological balance and creating the best attack and volley opportunities. And use comprehensive techniques, kicking, hitting, throwing, holding, flowing and coordinating like water, giving full play to the three-dimensional use system function of human weapons to achieve attack purposes. Wing Chun is good at close boxing and sealing techniques, while Jeet Kune Do techniques. The tactical system is comprehensive and streamlined, with kickboxing dynamic and fluid techniques and tactics as the main body, and grappling and grappling techniques (including wrestling, standing grappling, ground joint locking, suffocation and strangulation techniques, etc.) as auxiliary and necessary components. It can adapt to the needs of unrestricted fighting such as long, medium and short range, and even last resort ground fighting. It is precisely for this reason that Bruce Lee has become a recognized MMA practice pioneer and important ideological guide in the world of martial arts today. It’s okay for JKD to call it “JKD MMA”.

In this way, the performance of a Jeet Kune Do practitioner with comprehensive skills in practice may sometimes be like a boxer, constantly shaking and moving, launching dynamic attacks like flowing water at any time; sometimes like a swordless swordsman, attacking directly from covert, moving like a rabbit, making It is difficult to defend against people; sometimes, like a Wing Chun boxer, they can block their hands and control them, hit them in succession, and use the skills of burying themselves in position; sometimes, if necessary, they may drag their opponents into the ground like today's unrestricted MMA mixed martial arts players. (Bruce Lee once demonstrated to the world audience in advance the ground riding and bombardment that has become mainstream in today's MMA arena in classic kung fu movies such as "Brother Tangshan", "Game of Death", and "Enter the Dragon". As well as ground combat techniques such as cross arm locks and suffocating neck locks, of course, it must be reminded that unless absolutely necessary, this ground fighting style emphasizes mobile combat to always maintain active control of the fighting situation and space. should be avoided as much as possible). Of course, it is worth noting that under the influence of Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do thoughts, especially the strong MMA trend in the international martial arts world since the 1990s, some Wing Chun schools at home and abroad, such as Huang Chunliang’s Wing Chun school, In particular, Liang Ting Wing Chun, which developed in Europe, also began to take the initiative to reform the traditional training model, actively integrate with the trend of modern MMA mixed martial arts, and absorb and learn from ground combat offensive and defensive skills, thus greatly strengthening Wing Chun's adaptability in ground combat. Jeet Kune Do's overall training methods, training focus and structural model are fundamentally different from Wing Chun:

1. Compared with Wing Chun, and even with the gym-style Zhenfan founded by Bruce Lee The system of boxing is different. Jeet Kune Do in the later period completely abandoned boxing training, focusing on quality rather than quantity. It placed special emphasis on the optimization and instinctive basic training of the decisive backbone techniques and personal specialty techniques, and focused on distance and timing. Develop and train winning traits in actual combat such as concealment, bullying, rhythm, accuracy, speed, strength, killer instinct, and insightful reactions. At the same time, Jeet Kune Do uses full-contact simulated combat with protective gear as the main training method to develop learners' comprehensive combat capabilities from actual combat. In order to increase the reality of unlimited street fighting training, Jeet Kune Do practitioners also go out of the gym and design "street fighting scenario scripts" according to different training purposes, often simulating realistic one-on-one and one-on-one situations with high pressure. Practical training in various possible situations, including multiple, bare-hand against equipment and equipment against equipment, in order to improve students' comprehensive adaptability to unrestricted actual combat from psychology to physiology, from technology to tactics.

In Jeet Kune Do, the real essence of combat training is not how many techniques you have mastered, but how many techniques you can freely use in actual combat; it does not depend on how unique and individual your techniques are. Or different, the key lies in whether we can use the same body language as humans, at the most appropriate time, distance, position and angle, fast, powerful, accurate and immediate instinctive self-expression. This is exactly what all Jeet Kune Do training is about. focus.

2. In a fast, powerful, and changeable actual combat, a person's overall insight into offensive and defensive counterattacks and the speed of his response will determine the initiative in controlling the battle. and passivity, and even the success or failure of fighting. In Jeet Kune Do, the overall insight training model of Jeet Kune Do is organically combined with mid- and long-range visual and auditory insight training and close-range tactile training. It is the core of Jeet Kune Do combat training in the later period. It is also the guarantee for realizing the high-efficiency "volley" fighting concept of Jeet Kune Do. Relatively speaking, compared with Wing Chun's insight and response training model, which focuses on close-range hand-picking tactile training, it is more integrated and comprehensive in structure, and can better adapt to the changes in various distance fighting, thus increasing the number of interception fists to a large extent. The Taoist has room for tactical changes, and the efficiency of offensive and defensive control is relatively higher.

3. In terms of physical development and practical training, the modern cross-training model adopted by Jeet Kune Do across genres and discipline boundaries is completely different from the traditional training system of Wing Chun: such as dynamic and static load-bearing Training methods combine strength training, comprehensive flexibility training, and complete scientific training methods such as running and skipping to comprehensively develop strength, agility and cardiovascular system functions; such as the emphasis on the planning of the entire training process and the regulation of training results. The emphasis on nutrition and recovery methods after training; such as the innovation and organic use of a large number of modern practical auxiliary training tools, etc... This kind of inch strength method can be found in Baji, Xinyi, Xingyi and other traditional Chinese boxing methods. As for the technical structure, it can be said that Cun Jin is actually a way of expressing the power of martial arts in traditional Chinese martial arts, through internal and external training, which concentrates the power of thought, breathing and movement. It seems to be a simple and dull blow, but it is enough Produce fatal damage! Bruce Lee's Invincible Inch Fist, which is as simple as it is powerful as it is powerful, evolved from Wing Chun's "Inch Jin Fist" and is a particularly advanced killer technique of Jeet Kune Do. The principles of Bruce Lee's Cun Fist technique are generally consistent with the principles of Wing Chun's Cun Jin Fist technique. However, in terms of specific training methods and changes in technical application, Grandmaster Bruce Lee made a large number of unique improvements and creations, making it completely different from Wing Chun - Bruce Lee's Cun Fist. Boxing is easier to apply in practice, easier to practice and has more powerful attack power.

What is the significance of citing "Zen" in Jeet Kune Do?

Jet Kune Do quotes "Zen" in order to cultivate one's moral character, establish confidence in martial arts, increase wisdom and cultivate a strong will. Through the practice of Zen, one can understand oneself and understand the broad spirit of martial arts, thereby cultivating the taste of martial arts and more Deeply understand and analyze the connotation of martial arts spirit. Zhenfan Kung Fu is also called Zhenfan Guoshu and Zhenfan Boxing. Later it was also called "Zhenfan Kung Fu" (actually it was Jeet Kune Do in the early days of its creation). As we all know, Grandmaster Bruce Lee's real name was Li Zhenfan, and "Bruce Lee" was just him. The stage name he picked up when he was a child star in a movie in Hong Kong. Therefore, from the time he opened his first martial arts gym in Seattle, Bruce Lee named the martial arts gym Jun Fan Gung-Fu Institute after his own name, and taught him The student’s martial arts system is named Jun Fan Gung-Fu (Jun Fan for short), which means the descendants of the Chinese nation, the dragon, are powerful in the vassal state and are famous overseas. (Note: Jun Fan is the word "Jun Fan" by Bruce Lee. The English pinyin of the Chinese Cantonese pronunciation and spelling. In addition, Bruce Lee spelled the word Kung Fu as Gung-Fu, which is slightly different from the common spelling Kung-Fu in overseas martial arts circles. Readers are advised to pay attention here.) Since Bruce Lee was a martial artist A truly pragmatic and progressive martial artist, during the 12 years he has lived in the United States, he has always insisted on researching, training, and improving himself while teaching the constantly evolving martial arts system to his students. Therefore, Zhenfan Kung Fu is not an unchanging martial arts system. , but a vigorous process of martial arts philosophy that is constantly developing and evolving, constantly improving itself. At the beginning of its establishment, Zhenfan Kung Fu was mainly Wing Chun techniques improved by Bruce Lee (it was fashionable to teach Xiao Niu, Xun Qiao, and Biao Zhi at that time) Wing Chun routines, as well as training content such as single and double stick-stick wooden dummies), some essences of boxing techniques from the northern and southern schools of China, and traditional weapons such as three-section sticks, long sticks, and spears; in the middle and later stages of "Zhenfan Kung Fu" there are also Great changes have been made, the traditional routines of Wing Chun have been abolished, and the essence of Wing Chun's actual combat, Sanshou, sticky hands, wooden dummy and other training contents have been retained. On the basis of Wing Chun's original fixed steps and sticky hands, moving steps have been added. Sticky hands, and a small enrichment and enrichment of wooden dummy techniques. At the same time, it began to widely absorb the essence of world martial arts schools such as boxing, fencing, karate, taekwondo, Muay Thai and judo. In fact, it is a mixture of the developed and perfected "Jingfan" and the early "Jet Kune Do". Since Bruce Lee's martial arts philosophy process is a continuous and inseparable process, there is no clear dividing line between "Zhenfan Kung Fu" and "Jet Kune Do". Today, people in our circle regard Bruce Lee’s actual combat match against San Francisco kung fu master Huang Zewen in 1964 as the turning point from "Zhen Fan" to "Jet Kune Do". August 1964, San Francisco (San Francisco), California, USA.

Because Bruce Lee insisted on teaching Chinese martial arts (Zhenfan Kung Fu) to foreign students, he received an ultimatum from the conservative local martial arts community and was forced to accept the challenge and fight a fierce battle with a Chinese martial arts master from Hong Kong, Huang Zewen. The two of them each used traditional martial arts, and they both felt that the fight was very awkward. Although Bruce Lee fought hard and won tenaciously, his victory was very unpleasant. A battle that should have ended in a few seconds instead dragged on for dozens of seconds before the opponent was "finished." This was far from his ideal result of a quick win. This competition led Bruce Lee to deeply and thoroughly reflect on the routine techniques of traditional martial arts, and finally abandoned routines and created "Jeet Kune Do" without fixed technical movements and routine forms. At the same time, Bruce Lee was also invited to attend the 1964 Changdi "International Karate Championship Competition" and met "Father of American Karate" Ed Parker, "Father of American Taekwondo" Li Junjiu, "Karate Arena Hero" Luo Lishi, "Philippine Wand Master" Ilusanto, Jiu-Jitsu master Willie Jay and "Father of American Judo" Gene LeBel and a large number of top martial arts masters, communicated, competed and learned from each other, which greatly enriched their experience. He developed his own martial arts system and paved the way for the birth of "Jeet Kune Do". In the early days of the creation of "Jet Kune Do", considering that its martial arts and philosophical system had not yet been fully developed, Bruce Lee did not immediately disclose the name to his students and the outside world, but still called it "Zhen Fan Kung Fu" or "Zhen Fan Kung Fu". "Phan Kune Do", it was not until 1967, three years later, that the birth of "Jet Kune Do" was officially announced.

Conceptual Jeet Kune Do kickboxing, ground strangulation, cold fighting, and realistic comprehensive application are the main contents, and simulated mixed martial arts training is advocated.

Including Jeet Kune Do special training equipment, sandbags, wooden dummies, protective targets, etc., so as to carry out aerobic and anaerobic exercise in Jeet Kune Do training courses. Various types of Jeet Kune Do can build a powerful body shape, and can also train your mind, physical fitness, courage, concentration, willpower, self-defense, and different fighting skills and goals. The concept of Jeet Kune Do is It is also one of the most fashionable fighting and fitness sports, which can make you become a person with first-class strength, mental appearance.

After learning how to use Jeet Kune Do's punches, kicks, elbows, knees, throws, locks, grabs and other fighting techniques, you can feel the joyful mentality of a fighting master and the beauty of breaking through physical limits. Conceptual Jeet Kune Do training course─Comprehensive study of Zhenfan Jeet Kune Do's elementary, intermediate and advanced practical fighting techniques, reformed Wing Chun, all courses of free fighting (kickboxing) and mixed combat ground (jiu-jitsu) techniques as well as Jeet Kune Advanced philosophical theoretical knowledge.

Future Development

Jet Kune Do is divided into two schools, the conceptual school and the primitive school. What we see in China today are mostly primitive martial arts, namely Zhenfan martial arts and later Jeet Kune Do.

The so-called conceptual school does not mainly teach moves, but uses the techniques used in different systems to inspire practitioners to improve themselves, absorb what is useful to them, and get rid of the parts that are not useful to them. Closer to the essence of fighting.

The true meaning of Jeet Kune Do is to inspire practitioners to improve themselves, discover their own characteristics, understand the essence of problems, and see the moon (the actual purpose and essence behind the moves) through their fingers (moves). 1.

Conversation between Mike Danimock and Master Takeyuki Kimura:

Mike: "So many years after Mr. Bruce Lee passed away, you have been opening the Zhenfan Martial Arts Center until now. What is your main purpose? Bruce Lee How do you do?"

Kimura: "Xiaolong is great. I was about 35 years old when I became his disciple. I was the oldest among all his disciples, and he respected me very much. . Although when I first learned kung fu from him, he didn’t pay much attention to me as a disciple. As time passed, Xiaolong applied for the University of Washington. He also knew that he was under great pressure and wanted to learn more from Xiaolong. When Xiaolong was so miserable, I really couldn’t bear to disturb him.

As time went by, I developed feelings for Xiaolong. I would occasionally study with Xiaolong in the park every morning when he was walking, and I rarely saw him the rest of the time. Xiaolong, really. Until the opening of the first "Zhenfan Guoshu Museum", he temporarily gave up his studies to teach Kung Fu; I have always been sincere to Xiaolong; Xiaolong also knew that I had good intentions, so he let me be his assistant. In this kind of life, I am often with Xiaolong. Whenever I call "Teacher Xiaolong," he refuses; he says that kung fu is learned from each other, and there is no distinction between people. For example, the mentally retarded, why are they mentally retarded? The spirit is also something we should learn from. Kimura, you know that I also know my apprentice. I feel like both apprentice and teacher to my apprentice. On the surface, my apprentice is learning Kung Fu from me. In fact, I am also learning from him secretly. Some are lazy. Some work hard! All are great.

I remember that when Xiaolong’s father passed away, he returned to Hong Kong. From then on, he handed over the martial arts school to me for the first time and promoted me to the "Zhenfan Kung Fu Level 3", which is also the "Zhenfan Kung Fu Level 3". Jeet Kune Do Level 3”. After that, he started to enter the film industry and rarely managed me and the martial arts school. Linda and her mother were not with him all year round. I only came back twice a year. Every time I came back, I told him not to leave, but he didn't listen and left anyway. There are martial arts gyms in Oakland, San Francisco and other places, and he is about to enter the film industry. I also know that he is very lucky that I didn't bother him, not even a phone call.

One day in 1972, I called Xiaolong. Xiaolong blamed me and said, why didn’t you call me! I said: "Xiaolong, you don't need me anymore now. You have become famous. What use can I be to you?" He replied angrily: "Listen, you are still my best friend." , Never forget! If you need anything, just ask me and I will give it to you! I am still the same as before, I have not changed at all. "He is still the same Bruce Lee I met 14 years ago, and he is still the same as me. A good friend in times of need! ”

When Xiaolong passed away, I didn’t know that the time difference between Hong Kong and China was different; I was teaching students to practice the hook hand, when news came back from Hong Kong, Inosanto also rushed to my place, saying "Bruce is gone". I was deeply honored to have known Bruce. His spirit has forever affected me for the rest of my life."

Mike: "Your recent student. What are your preferences and hobbies in Jeet Kune Do? "

Kimura: "First of all, Bruce Lee is the embodiment of the spirit, making disciples all over the world. As Bruce Lee's highest-level disciple, Bruce Lee said. Kwon Do is a temporary martial art created by Bruce Lee. It does not mean that the fist is Jeet Kune Do. What I am currently learning is "Zhenfan Kung Fu" and what I teach to you means "authoritative Jeet Kune Do". . Actually, it’s wrong. It is Master Xiaolong’s personal martial art. It is “Zhenfan Kung Fu, Zhenfan Philosophy, and Zhenfan Thought.” "I have two students who can represent Bruce Lee's body. In 2010, I came to study with a Korean named Kim Chul-kyung. He is very practical. During the fight, I found that he has the shadow of Bruce Lee in his frame. He is the best representative." "Zhenfan Kung Fu". There is also Gu Zhiyuan from China, whose theoretical knowledge of Jeet Kune Do exceeds my imagination. Kimura smiled sweetly and said that this kid also created his own "Jet Kune Do self-development" kung fu! I asked Why? He said: "If Bruce Lee was alive, where did the International Jeet Kune Do Federation come from, and where did Wei Feng come from? "It's so cute. He belongs to my great-grandson. I touched his head and said with a smile: "Son, you don't understand that I established the International Jeet Kune Do Federation. The purpose is to pass on the spirit of Bruce Lee; why The name of my museum is Zhenfan Guoshu Museum? He said, "You don't want to change the name because the "Zhenfan Guoshu Museum" does not simply teach Jeet Kune Do. It mainly teaches Zhenfan Kungfu as the cornerstone. It throws away the current ideas of Jeet Kune Do and uses Zhenfan Jie. Boxing is the core. "I never expected that Gu Zhiyuan, a student, has such rich thoughts on theoretical knowledge! He actually told the core."

Mike: "Are these two children still in the library?"

Kimun: "No more. Jin Zhejing left after less than three months of studying in my martial arts school. As for Gu Zhiyuan, when I first saw him, I always felt a little friendly. His walk and movements made him I thought of Teacher Xiaolong; so I asked him to manage the cemetery of Grandmaster Xiaolong. I am old and rarely go there; I only go there once or twice a week. These two students have reminded me of Teacher Xiaolong after I have taught them for decades. Yes, both of them have Bruce Lee's ideological genes, and we need them in "Zhenfan Kung Fu"! Jin Zhejing's actual combat performance is very exciting, including his voice, which is more like Bruce Lee. Gu Zhiyuan is just a developing young boy. 19 years old, (when I met Xiaolong, Xiaolong was also 19 years old) There is a Chinese proverb: A person who leaves will regain his glory after 20 years, and become a hero again after 40 years. I "Zhengfan Kungfu" also hope that Gu Zhiyuan's martial arts thoughts and achievements will be achieved. It’s still developing!”

Mike: “Why did Danny deviate from the core of Jeet Kune Do?”

Kimura: “Inosanto is stubborn and always wants to build his own. Although he deviated from the core of Jeet Kune Do, he did not deviate from the "Zhenfan Kung Fu". I think Bruce Lee also touched his life!"

Here we all wish Kimura the best! May the Master of Martial Arts live as long as Nanshan Mountain!
