About this listen

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.

The real insight to Bruce Lee’s transformation from street fighter to the G.O.A.T. Martial Artist.

Great insight to the legacy of Bruce Lee. As a Martial Artist myself of 54 years he was a great inspiration to my training. The stories of his fights put to rest that he wasn’t a real fighter!

Bruce Lee was “one of them ones!”

This book was very necessary! It’s been 50 years since The Dragon passed away, and more myth has clouded his legacy than truth. Myth and doubt are the first things you hear when Bruce’s name is mentioned. And John Little destroyed every single negative connotation about Bruce Lees abilities with this book. “He was just an actor” “He really couldn’t fight” are the two most ridiculous statements when it comes to the legacy of Bruce Lee. Hearing testimonies from Bruces teachers, family, friends and students was all I needed to hear. They validated everything I believed about the life and legacy of Bruce Lee. To those that know, and understand the truth, we know that he was special. Bruce studied, and worked hard at becoming the best martial artist he could. He also helped anyone that was willing work and become the best they could be. Whether it was martial arts champions, professional athletes, or the average man or woman, looking to reach higher levels, he helped them develop. Bruce Lee was a living example of “lead by example”. From start to finish, this book helped me understand why and how Bruce Lee became who he became. The “what could have been” excerpts from the book were the most inspiring. The opportunities he could have had, had he survived the cerebral edema on July 20th, 1973, brought tears to my eyes. He was almost there. He almost reached his Ultimate Chief Aim. Also, hearing the praise he got from legends people revere made me proud. It made me proud to be a Bruce Lee fan! Bruce Lee proved his doubters wrong when he was alive. John Little proved the Bruce Lee doubters wrong with this book. 10/10 I would highly recommend! Bruce Lee was truly “one of them ones!” Thank you Mr. John Little for everything you have done to preserve the life, the teachings ,and the legacy of the legendary Bruce Lee! LONG LIVE THE LEGACY AND SPIRIT OF BRUCE LEE!

Hearing the Life vs the Myth of Bruce Lee is presented here.

Bravo Mr. John Little on your research. I truly enjoyed your book. Forward it to my Tai Chi teacher.
