How Tang Soo Do influenced Bruce Lee's Kicking (UKMAS 2026)

How did Tang Soo Do influence Bruce Lee’s kicking? At the 2026 UK Martial Arts Show in Doncaster, I had the chance to train with the incredible “Afghan Bruce Lee” and explore some of the kicking methods and concepts that helped shape Bruce Lee’s approach to martial arts. Many people don’t realise that Bruce Lee studied alongside practitioners of Korean martial arts during the development of Jeet Kune Do, and the speed, versatility and chambering found in Tang Soo Do kicking can clearly be seen in some of his iconic techniques.
