5 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC INTRODUCTION AND/OR REFERENCE FOR JEET KUNE DO PRACTITIONERS..........2007-08-17

This is a very well put together film, featuring two of Bruce Lee's original students Ted Wong and Richard Bustillo, who will help your education in Bruce Lee's art. You will be a more proficient fighter after experimenting with the techniques learnt in the film. The film gets you going you by taking you through a warm up and then basic exercises that can be practiced alone or with a partner. You will then be shown fundamentals such as stancing, footwork, punches, kicks, power and speed training and later a self defence section that give you an example of how some of these techniques can be applied in an actual fighting situation. The only thing I would like to have seen that isn't included is a tutorial in some combinations. We do see these combinations in shadow boxing and pad work in the film, but viewers are never given an explanation or a real example of say a three hit combo, in the fasion that other areas are explored in the film. Ted Wong's technique is flawless; he seems to do exactly what Lee taught him from a technical standpoint. Richard Bustillo also draws upon his years of martial arts experience to give a great example of various training methods in motion. This film is essentially a video adaptation of the book, Bruce Lee's Fighting Method Volume 2. For experienced martial artists it is certainly worth watching for the reason of viewing some of the methods presented in action, and the film is a wonderful supplementation for begginers and experienced practitioners. But as mentioned above, considering that begginers will likely view the film, I think some combination demonstrations wouldn't have gone a miss. Fights rarely end in one hit after all. Obviously by viewing the transitions of technique to technique would help the student's understanding of the art. But anyway, the video is certainly helpful and will prove to be a useful aid in your jeet kune do training! Highly reccomended!

Bruce Lee's Fighting Method
Performances by Ted Wong and Richard Bustillo

This is a video adaptation of Bruce Lee's Fighting Method Volume 2 - Basic Training and Volume 1 - Self Defense Techniques. Volume 2's warm up exercise content makes it logical to reverse the order of demonstration on video just as if you were attending a martial art class. The first 33 minutes of the video demonstrate the Basic Training exercises and moves in volume 2. The remainder of the video is the demonstration of moves to defend and counter against attacks as Bruce Lee demonstrated in the Self Defense volume 1. The Video is 52 minutes long.

There was an effort to keep the video consistent with the text of the books by Bruce Lee and M. Uyehara as evidenced by the narration in the video coming directly from the books them selves. Ted Wong and Richard Bustillo never speak in the video but perform the all the moves in good form well worth watching. The narration was done by Earl Binford. Ted Wong was one of the original students of Bruce Lee. You can see him in the book photos demonstrating the moves of the assailant opposite to Bruce Lee.

Basic Training demonstrates warm up exercises, fighting stance position and posture, guard positioning of the hands, foot work, power and speed training methods and kicking exercises.

Self Defense demonstrates 3 defense counter moves to surprise attacks, 6 counters to an unarmed assailant, 9 counters to being grabbed by an assailant, 9 counter moves against choke holds and hugs by an assailant, and 7 counter moves against armed assailants wielding against a club, a staff, a knife and a pistol, and 5 counters to an assailant while being caught in a vulnerable situations.
