I found Bruce's 4 volume Fighting Method books in a Salvation Army store in Oz, 2nd hand goods for sale & the proceeds go to the needy, 1 Dollar each they were . as you can imagine l was pretty happy. I hid them until l got home?, it's Bruce before JKD, still good but not as refined, the stance, Intercepting fist philosophy, but l'm thrilled to have them & this all rolled into one, Brilliant. Keep the Great Man's Legacy alive for we only seen a glimpse of his genius, & man, that glimpse lit up & changed Martial Arts in the most wonderful way. The what could of beens with BRUCE & BRANDON still hurts, like the 1st time l heard of his passing when l was 13 in 73 after just finding him, disbelief, shock & a deep sadness of what we all lost ❤️? p.s l hope l'm allowed to have a shout out to The Bruce Lee Foundation now run by the beautiful Shannon Lee after mum Linda gave the mantle to her. 2 wonderful women who have kept & opened Bruce's and now Brandon's Legacies to the public, Bruce's famous library is there. Please join, l have bought some great products & l am a member ?, part of the Bruce Lee family, l ❤️ that ?
