Jun Fan
Jun Fan Gung Fu (Chinese: 振藩功夫 Cantonese: Janfàan Gūngfū Pinyin: Zhènfán Gōngfū) literally translates as "Bruce Lee's Kung Fu".
Lee had learned various martial arts by the time he was asked to teach, therefore he coined the all encompassing term. The largest base of his training came from Wing Chun as taught to him by his Sihing, Wong Shun-leung (黃惇樑). Wong was a top student and instructor of Sifu Yip Man (葉問). Lee was involved with his high school Boxing team, and also learned Fencing entry moves from his brother Peter.
In 1959 Lee moved to Seattle and met Jesse Glover, a young Judo champion who was eager to learn the striking arts. Lee, without able training partners, began teaching Glover and friends of his. When Lee left Hong Kong, he had not finished the curriculum within Wing Chun and was not considered one of the top students in the school. To overcome as what Lee saw as deficiencies, he used his newfound students as training dummies. Lee not only taught them Wing Chun, but also taught them to come at him with attacks and defenses from other styles.
Bruce Lee's martial arts progression is usually broken into three different eras: Seattle, Oakland and Los Angeles. The Seattle era is usually referred to as the Jun Fan Gung Fu era, although Lee never made these distinctions within his martial art, and the differences are used by Jeet Kune Do schools to delineate between his "older and newer" teachings. According to the Bruce Lee Foundation which is made up of his family, select students and others: "The development of Bruce Lee’s art from 1959 until the end of his life was one smooth and indivisible path. In the beginning, he referred to his teachings simply as Jun Fan Gung Fu. Later he further refined his art as a unique gung fu all its own – Jeet Kune Do." The Bruce Lee Foundation also states: "JUN FAN JEET KUNE DO ® is the official name of Bruce Lee’s martial art."
The Jun Fan Gung Fu Institute (振藩國術館), which is Lee's first official Martial Arts school in the United States, still has a dedicated group of students to this day. It is run by Lee's most senior student, and caretaker of his grave Taky Kimura.
