Good stuff...and important it was recorded for posterity. Ty.

Brilliant stuff

I really enjoyed hearing this account. Unfortunately Bruce Lee has been so closely associated with Wing Chun. Although he was a student for a brief period and mainly tutored by Wong sifu , he was just a young man with a mind set for fighting. Watching Ted demonstrate his speed and paying attention particularly to his elbow . This is Wing Chun. But we never strike with the tips of our fingers.😂 Why would you do that 🤣

[@NihilistGhost]

I don't believe in system, nor in method and without system, without method, what's to teach?" Liberate yourself from all kind of thoughts, be empty, be like water! To liberate is to see, and then you'll know. Fight when you have to, emotional content is what is needed.

[@axelstone3131]

That’s all well and good. But you need to have a good teacher and good fundamentals to work from. Quoting Bruce without understanding application has no meaning.

I'm my own teacher for over 30 years and i studied Lee for decades !@@axelstone3131

This guy never produced one good student one simple reason he changed Bruce Lee’s entire curriculum of training after Bruce Lee died. Bruce Lee often said that Ted had zero killer instinct that he better never get any real fight.

[@Re-Destro]

Ted Wong was the best Bruce Lee student ever and I've researched many of them, he's easily on top of the list when it comes to the biomechanics and movements of how Jeet Kune Do should be practiced and what direction Bruce was going with his art. Ted is criticized for being a puritan and that he only teaches what Bruce taught him whereas other people have added their own stuff such as Dan Inosanto, so how can Ted change the curriculum if he never went outside what Bruce taught him? That's a ridiculous claim. He produced several lovely students such as Stefan Nikander, some fine tuning with Tommy Carruthers and his most prominent student Joaquin Marcelo who just is doing a marvelous job and is amazing with carrying the torch of Jeet Kune Do for the next generations to come, amazing footwork and biomechanics at play. Ted has really saved Jeet Kune Do, of course there is other students as well that did their fair share such as Jerry Poteet, Steve Golden Jesse Glover to name a few but the worst Bruce Lee student has to be the unknown Peter Chin who came out of nowhere with no skills and wrote a book and hasn't trained a day in his life for over 50 years. That guy probably has no students.

[@tonyvalente]

@@Re-Destro lol. He changed Bruce Lee’s entire curriculum and look how the students turned out.

[@Re-Destro]

@@tonyvalente There you go again talking from your behind. You have no proof for Ted changing the curriculum since Bruce didn't have a set curriculum, the things he taught at the LA Chinatown school was different from what was taught in private at his house and Ted was one of the few students to experience this. Bruce had Ted focus more on his hands as a JKD practitioner so Ted only went with whatever Bruce showed him since Bruce showed different students different things and focused on their strengths. Joaquin Marcelo who is probably Ted's best student is carrying the torch of JKD, one look at him and you can see the proof in the pudding. You have no knowledge or skin in the game. Again Ted is always criticized for not adding or changing JKD and that his JKD is "frozen in time" because Ted himself literally has said the JKD he's teaching is what he got from Bruce and Bruce only.

@@Re-Destro Ted did not speak Cantonese. He spoke some broken dialect they couldn’t even be understood. Ted’s boxing so pathetic that he made sure that he stayed away from any real martial arts in Los Angeles because his ass would’ve got knocked out even Bruce Lee said Ted had no killer instinct whatsoever he could never allow him to spar norris Lewis or stone .

[@Re-Destro]

@@tonyvalente Omg! When I thought this couldn't get more ludicrous you manage to make it more so. Ted was literally born in Hong Kong and moved to the States when he was in his mid teens, the man literally had a Chinese accent when he spoke English and a very grave one. So if Ted who was born in Hong Kong and moved to the States from Hong Kong and didn't speak Cantonese what did he speak then? Japanese? As a matter of fact I know someone who trained with Ted and said that he used to converse with Bruce in Cantonese the majority of the time, so that kills your folly claim yet again. He literally gave seminars with the late great Joe Lewis who was one of Bruce's best Karate guys who won lots of tournaments, again what are you even on about? Ted was a mellow man for sure but that doesn't mean he couldn't spar, at least he's sparring with his students in some of his clips. When Bruce died Ted stayed under the radar for about 15 years before he started reemerging again but during that time except for tending for his job and his family he went back to Bruce's notes and studied JKD away from the limelight, and reinvented himself as the best Bruce Lee student in later times. Ted is the closest thing to Bruce Lee.

@@joanstone6740 i dont know what you are reading or getting that information from but the one who lost that fight was Wong Jackman. If Bruce Lost that fight, then he would not be able to continue teaching non-Chinese person. Jackman was sent from China to finish Bruce Lee. Because the technique of Jengfun gunfu came from Wing Chun and Jackman and China did not want Bruce to spread Kung-fu in USA. Stop spreading a false information online. thanks
