  Hi,
  
  There are a few places which teach WingChun in Singapore. There's one club run by an old man just beside Singapore Casket (no joke) at Kitchener Road area, there's a NZ guy teaching near Far East Square....and some others lah. Just do a search on the internet and I'm sure some will come up.
  
  Jeet Kune Do is not a martial art. Its a concept to understanding and learning martial arts. Its just an idea, a concept.

  Actually, you should learn both BJJ and MT as they complement each other - one for stand-ups and one for ground fighting.
  
  BJJ is more practical then traiditional Japanese Jiujitsu in the sense it doesn't necessary have gi's, which the Japanese practitioners rely so much on (and consequently feel lost on the streets where their opponents don't wear gi's). However, BJJ is known to have its limitations too - eg. too complicated/confusing for many (like myself, with a simple mind). Its also known to have its limitations on the streets due to rough grounds (your back and knees will get scraped like hell).
  
  I heard that Wing Chun is also quite practical and simple to comprehend. I've heard of Wing Chun guys trapping the tricky hands of boxers (which means they probably can trap the hands of a streetfighter too, which have relatively-simpler movements).
  
  Having said that, I only had one day training in Wing Chun . Some experienced Wing Chun guy was trying to teach me sticky hands (their form of sparring). Was not very impressed leh....I managed to slap him a few times in the process.
  
  Honestly, for street situations, the best is still a combination of western boxing and simple wrestling lah. Oh, and soccer too...for kicking the opponent's shins.

  I know they complement each other well because many mixed martial arts fighters from pride fc or UFC train in one then the other combining the two so that they have a more complete game.
  
  BJJ is great is the fight goes to the floor (where most fights end up) and muay thai is great to knock out your opponent with.
  
  Ka pow!

  There are some places here who claims they teach BJJ.....but I don't know how authentic it is.
  
  Bruce Lee's main art was a combination of Wing Chun, western boxing, fencing + many other stuffs. But he did say that the art which benefitted him most (where he drew most of his theories from) was WC.

  FYI yong chun + sticky hands =/= jeet kune do. jeet kune do is a martial science that incorporates not only wing chun but, fencing, boxing, grappling as well as bruce lee's expression of his preference in style of kicking and punching.
