    WWIINNGG CCHHUUNN KKUUNNGG--FFUU Chinese Martial Arts Academy & Mind/Body Center \ WEST LOS ANGELES Chief Instructor/Founder: (SI-FU) ERIC ORAM WHY WING CHUN: REASON #1: BRUCE LEE’S HERO WAS (& STILL IS) A WING CHUN MASTER (William Cheung, with Bruce Lee: Hong Kong, 1955) Wing Chun Kung Fu is arguably the most effective and complete form of self- defense in the world. It has a very simple, yet complex array of techniques, training methods, fighting strategies, and guiding principles. It is on one hand, fluid and graceful, and on the other, direct and explosive. And, for its full application, the practitioner must learn to possess the Mind, Body & Spirit of a Warrior – on and off the mat. Bruce Lee knew this, because he studied intensively with (now) Wing Chun Kung Fu Grandmaster William Cheung. Bruce idolized the undisputed King of the Hong Kong Streets, and used Cheung as his image of “The Ultimate Fighter.” 6 (Grandmaster William Cheung: Hong Kong, 1979) Grandmaster Cheung has lived on to become a true living legend in the martial arts world – and one of his top disciples, Si-Fu Eric Oram, now teaches this dynamic system out of the West Coast Headquarters in Los Angeles: the Wing Chun Kung Fu Academy & Mind/Body Center. (Si-Fu Oram: Great Wall, Northern China, 2004) Si-Fu Eric Oram is currently one of the world’s leading authorities on Wing Chun and is recognized as one of its best instructors, having taught the art worldwide under Master Cheung since 1985. Si-Fu Oram is also an actor, writer, and Fight Choreographer – and has applied the principles and benefits of wing chun far beyond its success on the mat and in the street.

The following year, he starred in Jing Wu Men as a martial artist who defends Chinese pride against Japanese imperialists in the International Settlement of early twentieth- century Shanghai. Because of the overwhelming popularity of both films in Hong Kong and throughout Asia, National General Pictures selected them for distribution in the United States in 1973. Tang Shan Daxiong was supposed to be released as The Chinese Connection to associate it with The French Con- nection, a mainstream hit about heroin trafficking; the title ofJing Wu Men was translated as Fist of Fury.

    The History and Philosophy of Wing Chun Kung Fu Thesis for Level Ten Grading Andrew Nerlich Student of Sifu Rick Spain, WWCKFA

    The History and Philosophy of Wing Chun Kung Fu Thesis for Level Ten Grading Andrew Nerlich student of Sifu Rick Spain, WWCKFA. History In the Beginning... The deep nature of our own species, and those that preceded us in evolution, includes competition, violence, and killing. Prehistoric men no doubt fought one another for dominance, food, mating rights, and survival. The dawn of a structured or scientific approach to fighting no doubt occurred with the first primitive man to pick up a stick with which to strike an enemy or prey. Conflict and warfare form pivotal events in human history. Arguably, many ancient rituals, sports and ceremonies are reenactments of battles in one form or another. The Olympic Games held by the ancient Greeks were regarded as a religious festival, during which war was suspended. The Epic of Gilgamesh, written down in about the eighteenth century B.C. in Mesopotamia, one of the earliest centres of civilisation, shows that most weapons of war had been invented by then, the major exception being explosives, which were to be invented by the Chinese almost 2800 years later. Gilgamesh, a hero of Uruk in Babylonia, fought with axe, sword, bow and arrow, and spear. His contemporaries used battering rams against enemy cities, and rode to battle in chariots. The concept of a martial art or science of combat no doubt developed along with civilisation. Organised warfare required trained and disciplined soldiers, and generals and instructors to command and train them. The earliest accepted evidence of a martial art exists in two small Babylonian works of art dating back to between 2000 and 3000 B.C., each showing two men in postures of combat.

    The Power of the Dragon

    THE POWER OF THE DRAGON Develop Strength Bruce Lee’s Way. By: Justin Frost and Ted Wong. Bruce Lee E-Paper – I Published by – The Wrong Brothers Click Here to Visit our Home page Email – [email protected] Did Bruce Lee take his training seriously? "While Bruce was in Hong Kong filming in late 1971 or early 1972, he had his weight equipment and training gear shipped to him," says Ted Wong, who met Lee in 1967 and trained with him for more than six years. "He wanted to stay in shape. So we packed his bags, but we did not send any clothes because he said he could buy them cheap in Hong Kong. We just packed training equipment. When he saw all the bags filled with training equipment, he laughed and said, ‘Now I’m going to be able to do lots of training.’" And train he did. "Bruce considered training number one," says Wong. "He was constantly training. When he watched TV or went to the movies, he conditioned his knuckles. When he was driving, he worked the hand grips. If he walked to a bookstore and came to a hill, he always ran. He never wasted time." Why was this man so obsessed with training? Several reasons. First, according to Lee, training was important because you couldn’t perform up to your capabilities if you weren’t in shape, Wong recalls. "Lee felt you had no business being in the martial arts if you weren’t in shape," says Wong. "If you weren’t in shape you couldn’t be 100 percent efficient." Second, he had lofty goals.
