#3. The Lineage of Wing Chun Do

Wing Chun Do Gung Fu is the real deal regarding self-defense for the average person. Defined by Sijo James DeMile, a student of Bruce Lee's original Seattle group, Sijo DeMile has taken what Bruce Lee taught him and created Wing Chun Do Gung Fu in 1974. Before leaving for California, Bruce Lee had faith in his students. He allowed Jesse Glover, James DeMile, and Leroy Garcia to open a school together, leaving his first school to Taky Kimura. After moving to Hawaii and just after Bruce Lee's death, Sijo DeMile, analytical and science-driven, wrote down everything he understood from Bruce about technique, concepts, speed, and power, creating Wing Chun Do.

#4. The Art and Science

Wing Chun Do will intrigue and astound you with the logic and science behind its core techniques. "It makes so much sense" is a phrase we always hear. Using Bruce's modified and deep conceptual understanding of centerline, direct line of attack, power generation, acceleration and speed, spring energy, and footwork, the biomechanics and science behind Wing Chun Do genuinely embodies the phrase "Turning Martial Art into Martial Science."
