HISTORICAL CONTEXT

While many associate Jeet Kune Do primarily with striking, Bruce Lee’s personal library and training notes reveal a deep fascination with the mechanics of throwing and grappling. Volume Five of the Chinese Wushu Series, \Throw and Attack Techniques,\" explores this advanced dimension of JKD. This volume represents the high-level synthesis of Lee’s combat philosophy, where the boundaries between striking and grappling are blurred. Historically, Lee sought to create a \"limitless\" art, and these Throw and Attack methods demonstrate how JKD adapts to the grappling range without losing its core identity of directness and efficiency. This DVD is an essential document for understanding the full scope of the Jeet Kune Do Course as a complete martial system.

LINEAGE AND AUTHENTICITY

The instruction is led by Wei Feng, a second-generation disciple who has dedicated his life to the preservation of Bruce Lee’s legacy. Having studied under Lee’s close student Huang Jinming, Wei Feng possesses a rare understanding of how throwing fits into the JKD framework. His background as a PLA special forces drillmaster ensures that the techniques are presented with a focus on practical combat effectiveness. Wei Feng’s teaching is characterized by a refusal to use \"magic\" or \"invincible\" claims, instead relying on the clear demonstration of biological leverage and tactical superiority. This lineage-based approach provides practitioners with a reliable foundation in the non-classical movements that Bruce Lee pioneered.

TECHNICAL PRINCIPLES AND BIOMECHANICS

This advanced volume focuses on the integration of Throw and Attack Techniques, emphasizing the transition from a strike to a takedown. The Technical Routine covers the biomechanics of using an opponent's momentum against them, a principle often found in internal arts but applied here with JKD’s signature Explosive Force (Fa-Jin). Wei Feng demonstrates how to use Body-Sword Integration to maintain a strong central axis while disrupting the opponent’s balance. The training highlights the \"Adhere and Follow\" principle, where the practitioner stays in constant contact with the opponent to sense their center of gravity. By applying the concepts of leverage and the kinetic chain, the throws are executed with minimal effort and maximum impact. The \"Attack\" portion of the training ensures that the practitioner is never just \"wrestling,\" but is constantly delivering strikes or preparing for a decisive finish. This scientific approach to grappling emphasizes the Fluid Structure of the body, allowing for rapid transitions between standing and ground-based combat. It is a masterclass in the application of physics to martial arts, providing the tools necessary to dominate an opponent regardless of their size or strength, all while adhering to the core JKD tenets of simplicity and directness."
