Jun Fan Kung Fu

Jun Fan Kung Fu (also refered as Jeet Kune Do Concepts) was founded and made popular by Bruce Lee in the 1960's. This method is a hand to hand fighting method and is our primary base for our kickboxing classes. Included in this art are all ranges of kicking, punching, trapping, grappling and groundwork. The movements are crisp, and efficient, utilizing the most direct lines and angles. Once an attack has been launched there are no breaks or interruptions. The Jun Fan fighting strategy has lost none of its effectiveness over time.

The building block of Jun Fan Kung Fu is Wing Chun which we continue to study under sifu Francis Fong. It has also been influenced by other styles, such as Northern Praying Mantis, Southern Praying Mantis, Choy Li Fut, Eagle Claw, Western Boxing, Wrestling, Fencing, Judo, Jiu Jitsu, and some of the more refined kicks of the Northern & Southern Chinese styles.

The training consists of the methods developed by Bruce Lee, and preserved and taught to today by Dan Inosanto and Larry Hartsell.
