Synopsis

NO RULES. NO PROBLEM.

Bruce Lee remains the gold standard that all martial artists are compared to. But could he actually fight? World Champions in karate competition have gone on record to point out that he never once competed in tournaments. Were his martial abilities merely a trick of the camera?

For the first time ever, Bruce Lee authority and bestselling author John Little takes a hard look at Bruce Lee's real-life fights to definitively answer these questions with over thirty years of research that took him thousands of miles. Little has tracked down over thirty witnesses to the real fights of Bruce Lee as well as those who were present at his many sparring sessions (in which he was never defeated) against the very best martial artists in the world.

From the mean streets of Hong Kong, to challenge matches in Seattle and Oakland, to the sets of his iconic films where he was challenged repeatedly, this is the incredible real-life fighting record of the man known as the "Little Dragon," who may well have been the greatest fighter of the twentieth century.

All of John Little's books seem to be well-written and well-researched. I have yet to pick up a book by him to read except that I enjoyed reading the book. I enjoyed reading this book even though I don't really care at all about Bruce Lee as a person, nor am I concerned about the life of Bruce Lee.......more

My thanks to both NetGalley and the publisher ECW Press for an advance copy of this book looking at the life of a martial arts icon from the battles that he fought, and the lesson that the legend took from them. Bruce Lee is one of those people that everyone feels they know, and yet so much about hi......more
