Bruce Lee's 'Jet Kun Do' styling did not originate from him, but was derived from his association with veteran HK actor Guan De-xing, 關德興 [Shih Kien 石堅] who was also an instructor for dragon style boxing. Bruce never acknowledged this teacher. Bruce's father, a traditionalist, wished that he study Tai-Chi-boxing [videos are available on YouTube] or with his father's friend LiuHeBaFa-boxing teacher Liang Zhi-peng 梁子鵬 who like Shih Kien was knowledgeable in Eagle Claw methods. Again Bruce borrowed without credit some of the axioms of water-style, as flowing, swimming, like water. Bruce dropped his classes for the more notable, new HK teacher Yip-man. http://waterspirit6x8.tripod.com/id46.html
