Yong chun jie quan

When Bruce Lee first came to the United States, he began teaching Wing Chun kung-fu. He, with many martial talents, soon found himself in the midst of a well established kung-fu society that didn't take kindly to his outspoken mannerisms. It wasn't long before his abilities were challenged by a hired group of body-bashers. Like a streak of lightning, he served them all a flurry of knuckle sandwiches which didn't go down too lightly with their boss. Not long after this incident, the "Little Dragon" became the target of a hired professional exterminator. Although surviving the encounter, Bruce had discovered that his Wing Chun style was not suitable for American street fighting. More determined than ever, he began to search for a new method of combat. Thus, the 'way of the intercepting fist' (Jee Kune Do) was born. (Verleiher-Text)
