Some of martial arts legend Bruce Lee’s personal equipment and clothing will be auctioned off April 29 by Los Angeles auctioneer Nate D Sanders. Fans will also be able to bid online. One of the items up for sale is Lee’s owned and worn Stirling Cooper gray cotton jacket, which was personally signed by Lee’s wife and daughter. Inside the jacket is the inscription, “This was one of Bruce’s most favorite jackets! Linda Lee.” His daughter wrote “To Dennis and Loan, Best to you both! Shannon Lee.”
Linda Lee was married to the Hong Kong actor and filmmaker from 1964 up until his death in 1973. She kept the jacket for 20 more years after his death, until it was auctioned by Beverly Hills Superior Galleries in 1993. The starting bid is $40,000. Other items going under the hammer are Lee’s size 7 mahogany leather loafers, a Timex wristwatch starting at $20,000, and training equipment such as a kicking shield, an elastic waistband, a shin protector and a pull-up bar. Lee, a native-born San Franciscan, was raised by immigrants from Hong Kong. He is credited with turning martial arts into an international phenomenon through classic kung fu movies such as Enter the Dragon and Fist of Fury. He died from a brain hemorrhage in Hong Kong in 1973 at age 32.

At 16, Lee began training under Yip Man, one of the most legendary kung fu grandmasters of all time.

like RW said sifu YIP MAN taught WING CHUN... a narrow form cultivated by female buddhist monks...well suited to HONG KONG alley fights-

- the first form is most important SIU NIM TAO...little idea...


these arts cultivate NEI GUNG internal energy through KUNG FU...hard work...


the 1 inch punch is the culmination of the art releasing internal energy FA JING...a talented practitioner who receives direct transmission from a master can get this in 10 or 20 years...maybe

-these arts were all CLOSED DOOR PRACTICES for family members only...except ...they are so esoteric that now masters open these teachings to the world for fear they will be lost-- because no body wants to do the work any more-

Provenance??
Click to expand...


wasn't considering an investment...but BRAD is right for WITs pulling the trigger on this-

the provenance-CERTIFICATION-etc. condition ...or...are normal rules suspended just because it is associated with BRUCE LEE ?
 

Takes a Licking, and keeps on Ticking!:cheers:
