1. In 50 words or less *joking*, what is the difference between Wing Chun kung-fu and Jeet Kune Do?
2. Which did you like more and why?
3. What about practical differences like price, time of the day for classes, location of classes, stuff like that?
Thanks heaps for the answers. So nice to be able to get information here like this.

1) In Wing chun, you have classical positions,classical weapons,Forms ( routines of movements ), its basically like any martial art. In Jeet kune do, u simply have what Bruce Lee thought to be his Philosophical approach to Martial arts and self-defense. Its like a combination of different martial arts, like Wing-chun,Jiu-jitsu,wrestling, even the footwork of fencing is used in Jeet Kune do. Plus here u train for the reality of using the techniques u learn in a self-defense situation.
2) Honestly, i prefer Wing Chun, cuz there is a lot of history and tradition behind that Kung-fu style, plus u can train with weapons such as long pole, and the twin butterfly knives, not mentioning that u get to train with a wooden dummy.
3) Im not living in Hk yet, but i have lots of friends in here. If u'r really interested let me know, and i'll ask them for that information
