I was thinking of taking up wing chun because I wanted to learn Jeet Kune Do in a few years (hopefully sooner than that) and I know that Wing Chun was Bruce's first art. The reason why I ask is because I know that Bruce used modified wing chun and was wondering if I could get some benefits from traditional wing chun training?
Thanks
Tom

Hello Tom!

YES! You should definitely get involved in some Wing Chun training until you can actively train in Jeet Kune Do! Especially if it is from the Wong Shun Leung lineage. Concentrate on chi sao, basic trapping, rotation striking and the sil lim tao form. All of these elements are great for strengthening your Jeet Kune Do foundation structure! Let me know who the instructor is and what his lineage is.

The guy's name is Mike Desrochers and he is under a guy named Sunny Tang. I'm not too sure who his lineage is but on his site it says this...
"Sunny Tang (Dunn Wah), a second generation student of the late Grandmaster Yip Man and disciple of Grandmaster Moy Yat"

Let me know if that lineage is any good.

Hello Tom!

Yes, that is a good lineage! I have a student in Canada named Martin Desrochers. I wonder if they are related?

I can ask if I take it up soon, that last name I don't think is very common so there could be a chance.
Is your student from Quebec by the way because I know Mike is originally from there?

Tom

Yes, he is!
