HISTORICAL CONTEXT

Jeet Kune Do is often defined by its ability to intercept an opponent's attack before it fully develops. Volume Seven of the Chinese Wushu Series, titled Block the Hand to Attack, explores the sophisticated hand-trapping and immobilization methods Bruce Lee adapted from Wing Chun and refined through his study of Fencing and Boxing. This phase of the Jeet Kune Do Course represents the pinnacle of close-to-mid-range tactical engagement. It highlights the transition from simple defense to a simultaneous offensive-defensive posture, a concept Lee referred to as the interception of the will. This instructional work serves as a vital historical record of Lee's late-stage development, emphasizing the fluidity and non-classical nature of his combat philosophy.

LINEAGE AND AUTHENTICITY

Master Wei Feng, a second-generation disciple of the Bruce Lee lineage, provides the technical expertise for this volume. Trained by Huang Jinming (Ted Wong), Wei Feng maintains the structural integrity of Lee’s original teachings. His professional history as a PLA special forces instructor adds a layer of tactical necessity to the Technical Routine, stripping away any non-essential movements. This ensures that the Block and Attack methods shown are not merely drills but are combat-ready applications. The lineage presented here is essential for practitioners who seek the authentic, unadulterated expression of JKD as it was practiced in the Los Angeles Chinatown era and beyond.

TECHNICAL PRINCIPLES AND BIOMECHANICS

The core of this instruction is the concept of Hand Trapping or Blocking the Hand to create an opening for an immediate counter-attack. The biomechanical focus is on the economy of motion and the use of the lead hand as a sensory organ. Wei Feng demonstrates how to maintain a Fluid Structure while applying pressure to an opponent's limbs, utilizing the principle of Adhere and Follow to stay one step ahead of their reactions. The instruction covers the kinetic alignment required for simultaneous blocking and striking, ensuring that the practitioner’s Explosive Force (Fa-Jin) is delivered with maximum efficiency. By focusing on the scientific application of leverage and timing, the DVD teaches how to neutralize an opponent's offensive tools while simultaneously launching a decisive counter.

COMBAT APPLICATION AND EFFICIENCY

In a real-world encounter, the ability to control an opponent's hands is the difference between victory and defeat. This DVD provides a detailed breakdown of how to apply these trapping methods in a dynamic environment. Wei Feng emphasizes the importance of Body-Sword Integration, where the entire body moves as a single unit to support the hand techniques. The focus is on the interception of the opponent's motion, using their own energy to create a path for the strike. This volume is a masterclass in the tactical application of JKD’s most famous hand methods, providing a bridge between theoretical knowledge and practical combat mastery.
