Description

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.
