Wu Wei Gung Fu is a system of martial arts founded by Jo-Si Joseph Cowles. He was a student of Bruce Lee in Seattle, Wa. He met Bruce and studied Jun Fan Gung Fu (Jun Fan Lee was Bruc's Chinese name). "Gung Fu" is Cantonese for Mandrian "Kung Fu". Wu Wei or mo Wai means "Spontaneous Action". Now if you go to YouTube you can see more of it by typing in "wu wei gung fu".
Professor Cowles lives in the State of Washington and is retired from martial arts instruction. He passed on the system to Israeli citizen- Eyal Koren. Others such as Mike Henry, Kevin Capps, Joe Purcell, George Brock, and others presently promote the art of Wu Wei Gung Fu. In a way it is an eclectic blend of arts (Jun Fan, Modified Wing Chun, Aiki Jutsu, etc.) based on efficiency and sound combat tactics.

No, he did not. Both the general's family memoir (c. 1230) and his state biography (1345) do not mention him learning boxing as a child, just spearplay and archery. Nor do they mention him creating any boxing styles to enhance the effectiveness of his soldiers on the battlefield. But does absence of evidence really point to evidence of absence? Some have tried to defend the legend by comparing Yue Fei to Qi Jiguang, a famous Ming dynasty general. None of Qi's contemporary biographies mention him learning martial arts as a child, but he is known to have compiled a manual of boxing styles to help keep his soldiers fit between battles. The only problem with this comparison is that Yue never wrote such a manual. A popular martial arts essay attributed to him called "The Ten Theses of Xingyiquan" does not appear within the corpus of the general's own historical writings--the majority of which were letters and appeals to the court--collected by his grandson during the 13th century. It was most likely written by someone sometime after the 18th-century. This is because the earliest reference to Yue Fei creating Xingyi comes from the "Preface to Six Harmonies Boxing" published in 1750. The preface mentions how he trained in spear under an unnamed master and later developed Xingyi from the thrusting motions. Prof. Meir Shahar states that Yue's mention in a 17th-century qigong manual known as the Sinew-Changing Classic (1624) led to the attribution (The Shaolin Monastery, p. 168). A forged preface from the manual claims Yue gained his great strength and military prowess from practicing the qigong exercise. Following this, numerous other boxing, weapons, and qigong styles appeared, all supposedly created by the general.
What level is a red sash in Kung Fu?

What is the connection between yoga and Kung Fu?
Yoga originated in India. It was a very ancient art. It is believed that an Indian Prince that had been trained in Yoga and the Indian Martial Arts moved to China and became the Bodhidharma, teaching what became Kung Fu to the monks at the Shaolin temple.
Second Answer
Both Yoga and Chinese qigong are stretching and breathing exercises. They improve joint strength and flexibility. The breathing is believed by both cultures to fuel an internal energy--Prana (India) and Qi (China)--that fortifies the body and, when directed and compounded in the brain, leads to enlightenment or immortality (depending on the tradition). Both India and China came upon these ideas independently. Many other cultures associated breathing with such properties. The ancient Greeks referred to it as the "humors."
Both the South and East Asian traditions existed long before the aforementioned Buddhist monk came to China. Therefore, there is no evidence that Bodhidharma introduced any such exercises to the Middle Kingdom. Most importantly, the concept of him teaching martial arts at the Shaolin monastery did not come about until the early 20th century.
See Chinese Martial Arts (2012) by Peter Lorge, The Shaolin Monastery (2008) by Meir Shahar, and "Ignorance, Legend, and Taijiquan" by Stan Henning.
Where can I find free dvd's on how to learn wing chun Kung Fu?
I wouldn't recommend practicing any martial art by DVD, because, beginning students learn better in a community type environment [working out with others their same age/ size. New students also need to be watched/ corrected by an instructor.
Also, kung fu is a misnomer. =Kung fu in Chinese means to excel at something. Chinese martial arts are called gung fu.
