[FONT=arial, helvetica]The art of Wei Kune Do is Master Fong's martial arts style. It is a personal approach based on concepts and laws of science. It is based on physical, mental, emotional and spiritual principles. Wei Kune Do strives to be spontaneous, to develop perception and insight, to harmonize with your opponent's attack.[/FONT]
[FONT=arial, helvetica]Master Fong studied Tae kwon Do with Chong Yuk Young earning a black belt. He then studied Choy Lay Fut with Master Low Bun. He went on to study Si Lum Kung Fu under Y.T. Wong. While studying Kung Fu, he became friendly with Jimmy Y. Lee. It was Jimmy Lee who introduced Master Fong to Bruce Lee. That meeting began a nine year friendship with Bruce Lee as the two compared notes and exchanged ideas about martial arts. Bruce Lee's fascination with boxing began with Master Fong's coaching him in its techniques and theory. Much of what was to become Jeet Kune Do evolved from their many exchanges.
