With Wing Chun at the core of his system, Bruce Lee incorporated a modification of various techniques from Northern Praying Mantis, Southern Praying Mantis, Choy Li Fut, Eagle Claw, Western Boxing, Wrestling, Fencing, Judo, Jiu Jitsu, and some of the more refined kicks of the Northern & Southern Chinese styles.

Emphasizing the "ranges of combat", students are taught to confidently, and with ease, to "flow" from long distance ("kicking- range"), to middle distance ("hand-range"), and to close quarters ("trapping and grappling range"). The movements are crisp and efficient, utilizing the most direct lines and angles. Students are able to enhance their natural attributes such as coordination, timing, speed, endurance, strength, and agility, using the innovative teaching and training methods developed by Bruce Lee.
