The road to the development of the Bruce Lee’s Fighting Method begins with a solid foundation in the core fundamentals of Bruce Lee’s Martial Art. With exposure to Wing Chun, Jun Fan Gung Fu (Bruce’s Modified Wing Chun), Boxing, and Fencing; we look to solidify the fundamental skill sets in the starting point of this Martial Art. Ironside USA is dedicated to the principles of simple and direct Martial Art techniques for the purpose of self defense. As we progress in our understanding of the acquired fundamental base, we encourage the evaluation of essential techniques discarding the non-essential towards a more practical means. We believe that efficiency stems from a tested and educated process of selection, resulting in the best possible tools for the job.
FOUNDER OF JEET KUNE DO
International Martial Arts superstar Bruce Lee (born Lee Jun Fan) started his Martial Art beginnings under the guidance of the legendary Ip Man of the Wing Chun style of Gung Fu. During the developmental progression of Bruce’s training, he felt it necessary to modify a selection of Wing Chun techniques he acquired which resulted in the creation of Bruce’s modified Wing Chun called “Jun Fan Gung Fu”, taking on his Cantonese birth name. Progressing further still and drawing inspiration from Boxing and Fencing, Bruce named the last evolution of his martial art “Jeet Kune Do” which loosely translates “Way of the Intercepting Fist”.
Ironside USA is dedicated to the study and progression of Bruce Lee’s Fighting Method. We begin this progression by solidifying our fundamentals in the core systems and principles taught by Bruce Lee during his lifetime. The goal of this group is acquisition of Martial skill through practical and functional processes, avoiding the politics that surround Martial Arts. Consisting of dedicated practitioners, we offer an environment of consistently productive practice as is required by this evolutionary Martial Art.
