Bruce Lee's Fighting Method: Basic Training & Self Defense Techniques Video

Bruce Lee's Fighting

When he came to the United States, Lee developed a concept of martial arts for the individual man that he labeled Jeet Kune Do - the way of the intercepting fist. His first book, The Tao of Jeet Kune Do, became a standard in the martial arts field.

It was followed by Bruce Lee’s Fighting Method – a series of four volumes complied by Lee’s friend and student M. Uyehara.

This DVD covers the first two volumes of Lee’s fighting method – Basic Training and Self-Defense Techniques. Topics include warm-ups, basic exercises, on-guard positions, footwork, power training, speed training and self-defense techniques. Demonstrating the techniques in this DVD presentation are Ted Wong and Richard Bustillo.

Wing Chun: Self Defense Video

DVD Only  - $14.99
Wing Chun is widely recognized as one of the fastest styles in the world. It has a speed and directness of action that is difficult to match. Ideal for self-defense, as a starting point for further study of Martial Arts, or simply as a hobby, Wing Chun is both challenging and rewarding and can be practiced anywhere.

This DVD is based solely on Wing Chun as a self defense art. It draws on all three of the original forms, but there is little or no training in specific movements or the forms themselves. Instead, the training is centered on real life application and situations that may arise.

In its original form, Wing Chun is already an outstanding self defense art, but by drawing on his own extensive knowledge, Sifu Wong has created this Wing Chun hybrid to speed learning and make the techniques simple and most importantly, practical for all.

Making use of a partner for much of the training you will learn how to apply the techniques to people rather than dummies or in thin air. This form of teaching helps you to understand the energies and forces involved. It also demonstrates how the techniques do not require great strength or flexibility to be able to use.

Aimed to be an introduction to self defense, Wing Chun: Self Defense will give you an insight into the world of self preservation and martial arts that is available to everyone but exploited by few.
