Mine in not on the list but the closest is Jeet Kun Do.
I do Wing Chun which what Bruce Lee did also, training with Yip Man the head of my lineage.
My understanding was the Bruce did the fist and second form, not the third, dummy (although you can see in one of the movies) or weapons, which is one of the reasons he wanted to develop and “open fist” style. Perhaps if Bruce had not decided to teach foreigners, maybe Yip Man might not have done. Understandably this was a big step, and there was much opposition to it, especially how Chinese were treated as the “yellow peril” in the early twentieth century.
See here Bruce is doing a punch and wu (guard hand), and Yip man is doing bong sau and his guard hand is ready to lap sau. Bread and butter stuff.

Hey, sethzack, my apologies. I usually notice these things.
Glad you found my feedback helpful. It would be great if you became the first famous martial artist with AS. Then we can all say we knew you when!
P.S. Please make sure you pronounce my screen name properly.

That is pretty cool, I had never heard of that one either. I only look into the martial arts I hear about or see and decide if I like it or not from there, the ones on the list are the ones I like.

It is OK, I shouldn't be so obsessed with my username but it's a big part of me. Thank you again and I don't quite know how to pronounce your name but I can spell it instead, thanks neshamaruach.

I had never thought of that, that is very interesting. I always thought you were really wise, thanks for not disappointing.
