Bruce Lee had learned about 40 moves on the wing chun dummy, but was great at just freelancing it. When Dan Inosanto went to Hong Kong to do the crappy "Game Of Death", he learned the complete wing chun dummy set from Chris Yik. He also learned about 50 moves from a mantis dummy set. When he came back we learned these sets in Dan's backyard school. Dan then created what he called the JKD Dummy set. It has wing chun elements as well as Western boxing elements. It was quite long so I guess he later broke it up in to smaller sets. We were encouraged to learn the sets, take what was useful, throw the rest away and just freelance it.
