We did not live in the best neighborhood, so it seemed desirable to know something about self defense. I was sold on martial arts when I put a bully on his back after training with a neighborhood Judo club. From then on I studied whatever martial arts I could find: TKD, Moo Duk Kwon, Tang Soo Do, Southern Shaolin Kung Fu. I knew a lot of martial arts but little about fighting and real self-defense. This point was hammered home to me when I began sparring with a Golden Glove boxer. I found that most of my martial arts techniques didn't work against a real fighter. The martial arts were off my list and self defense was my new objective. A little research convinced me that what I needed was Wing Chun. However the only thing available was a Wing Chun Do school about 40 minutes from my house. As a life long Bruce Lee fan, I was pleased to find the Wing Chun Do - James DeMile - Bruce Lee connection.
