For the first time DeMile shares the secrets of Bruce Lee's dynamic spring energy principles and his unique application of Chi Sao (Sticking Hands). The use of these principles allowed Bruce to overcome much larger opponents. The author also introduces the basic concepts of Wing Chun Do in an easy to understand format, and explains the ESP principle (Efficiency, Simplicity and Practicality). A technique must pass this ESP principle in order to remain valuable. Efficient means that it is as direct and short as possible with all unnecessary movements removed. Simple means the technique can be executed without stretching or warming-up and is a fairly natural movement. Practicality means that the technique is effective; what good is it, if it doesn't work? Wing Chun Do challenges you to prove it to yourself. Sijo James W. DeMile
In 1960, James W. DeMile began his martial arts carerr in Seattle, Washington, under the direction of Bruce Lee and assisted him in developing many of the principles of Jeet Kune Do. He also appeared with Bruce in his book "The Philosophical Art of Self Defense". Until his passing in 2021, he was considered to be one of the foremost authorities on modern Wing Chun. He created Wing Chun Do, a reality-based self-defense martial art based on biomechanics and natural strength.
