Some of his first teachings were in a parking garage, in Seattle’s First Hill Area. As a 19-year-old college student, Bruce Lee began demonstrating Jun Fan Gung Fu, a hybridized version of Wing Chun with components such as kung fu, fencing and philosophy. He would give lessons on campus, too, before taking Jun Fan Gung Fu to Oakland, where he set up shop in 1964. Even as a student, he was gathering. Learning. Teaching. And throughout Lee’s life as a star of the silver screen, as the founder of Jeet Kune Do, as the godfather of martial arts and as an icon for the ages, his mission remained the same.
To pass down greatness. To see the world around become as big as it could be.
As part of our “Greatness Passed Down” theme for the month of March, we have a new long-sleeve Jun Fan Gung Fu longleeve tee, celebrating the great Bruce Lee!
