‘After I went back to college on the East Coast and Bruce moved, we saw each other only occasionally, on vacations,’ says Doug Palmer. ‘Each time there was a notable change. I watched him evolve over the years; I couldn’t see how he could ever have any more than he already had, but each time he acquired new theories and techniques that became part of an expanded vision.’
Dan Inosanto adds, ‘There were thirteen things on a list that I was allowed to teach, and that was it. He used to say that under no circumstances could I teach double pak sao [double slapping block]; pak sao, bil jee [slap block and finger jab]; or pak sao, larp sao [slap block, grabbing hand]. These restricted techniques were all pure wing chun and were big secrets. He was the head man, so I kept it exactly the way he wanted me to teach it.
