Finishing the finishing touch, the myth reappears: an interview with Bruce Lee biographer Mr. Li Zhiyuan (Part 2) - Lujuba


[Original Editor's Note] We have introduced the interview with Bruce Lee biographer Mr. Li Zhiyuan for two consecutive issues, and how hard we have done to reflect on the life of Xiaolong "Myth Reproduction", and finally have a general understanding of what happened. . This issue coincides with the 33rd anniversary of Mr. Bruce Lee’s death. We continue to invite Mr. Li Zhiyuan to introduce his confusing life and little-known family background, romantic and straightforward love life, and special training on issues of particular interest to readers. The method and the most doubtful and controversial one is the explanation of Bruce Lee's actual combat ability. A lot of the information in it was disclosed for the first time, which I believe will make the boxing fans who like Bruce Lee feast on it.


Finishing the finishing touch, the myth reappears: an interview with Bruce Lee biographer Mr. Li Zhiyuan (Part 2) - Lujuba


Note: There have always been many mysteries about Bruce Lee’s life, and there are even false rumours that he has Russian or even German descent. Is it true?

Li: It is true that Xiaolong has foreign ancestry. His mother comes from the famous He Dong family in Hong Kong. He was once the richest man in Hong Kong and was knighted by the Queen of England. The He Dong family consists of 4 brothers (He Dong is the head) and three younger sisters. He Dong's original name is He Qidong and the foreign name is Robert. The second brother He Qifu is the grandfather of Macau gambling king Ho Hongshen , and the third brother He Gantang is the grandfather of Xiaolong. Therefore, Xiaolong and Stanley Ho are cousins ​​of no more than three generations. Their grandfather, He Shiwen, was a Dutch-British. According to the 1988 "Capital Magazine" album, He Shiwen is actually 100% British. It is said that He Shiwen is a German because his wife Shi Shiwen married He Shiwen and another British walter Bosman. Europeans of unknown background.

In this mixed-race family, He Gantang looks the most Chinese. Compared with his brother He Dong's western appearance, it is hard to think of the brotherhood of the two. Ho Kantang served as the comprador of Jardine's Firm and also ran the sugar cotton business. The two oldest foreign insurance companies in South China-Jiandang Insurance Company and Hong Kong Fire Candle Insurance Company's Chinese shares, are actually in the hands of the brothers He Dong and He Gantang. In addition to doing business, He Gantang was also hired as a visiting professor by Donghua Hospital because he had studied Chinese medicine with Cai Yongnan, a famous domestic doctor.

The following is the story of He Hongshen's recollection of his uncle He Gantang:

Uncle He Gantang, who is famous for his suave life, and he married his concubine until his 30th head, only to "just enough" amidst the family opposition. As for the "affair" and the women who had been in love all night, he himself couldn't count them. During the days when Ho Hongshen worked as an operator in his mansion during the Japanese invasion of Hong Kong, He Gantang called his grand-nephews to talk in detail, and once said with a smile: "The younger generation is terrifying, the beauty is not shallow, and it is much more beautiful than when I was young!"

In addition, there are some relevant information:

He Gantang is not only the first Chinese horse owner to win the race, he is also the first Chinese member and Chinese horse owner of the Jockey Club, and he became the first Chinese President of the Jockey Club during the war. He Gantang was also the owner of the horse with the most horses. At one time, he raised 75 horses in two stables. He Gantang's most talked about Ai Ju is the "Gantang Di" named after his mansion.

is located at "Gangtangdi" at 7 Castle Road, Hong Kong Island, and was built in 1914. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints purchased the property in 1971 and used it until 1991. In view of the building’s history and architectural value, the Hong Kong Antiquities Advisory Committee listed it as a Grade II historical building in 1990. "Gantang Di" was acquired by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government for HK$53 million in 2003, and it cost 91 million to repair the Sun Yat-sen Museum. He Gantang and "Gantang Di" made headlines in newspapers.

: There are many versions of the love story between Bruce Lee and Linda. The most popular one is that he fights alone on the street with four gangster heroes to save the United States, and they eventually become married. What's the truth?

Lee: Of course, heroes save the United States based on falsehood. At that time, Bruce Lee was performing martial arts performances everywhere in Seattle, and Linda had already noticed him. But Linda went to a girls' school and had no chance to contact Bruce Lee. Coincidentally, once, the husband of their school took a fancy to Bruce Lee's article "Chinese Philosophy" written by Bruce Lee on the media program and the university. After arranging a philosophy teacher to communicate with Bruce Lee, I felt very interesting, so I invited Bruce Lee to give a lecture at Linda's school.

Linda introduced herself, when listening to the class, I felt like Bruce LeeA famous movie "Dream of the City West" is as charming as the actor, which makes people admire. But at that time, Bruce Lee always had a girlfriend by his side, and Linda was not confident enough to approach him proactively. Later, she was invited by one of her female classmates to learn boxing from Bruce Lee. Once, Bruce Lee did a practice demonstration with her. When she fell to the ground, she suddenly supported her and asked Linda to go to the "Space Needle" restaurant for dinner (the Space Needle is a "landmark" building specially built by Seattle for the World Exposition). It’s very expensive to eat there, Linda asked, will everyone go together after class? Bruce Lee replied, just me and you. Linda was naturally very happy, and started dating with Bruce Lee.


Finishing the finishing touch, the myth reappears: an interview with Bruce Lee biographer Mr. Li Zhiyuan (Part 2) - Lujuba


Note: Which aspect of Linda's character most attracts Bruce Lee?

Li: In 1999, Linda visited Li's studio. I feel that she is a very sensual and personable person, as impressive and comfortable as she was more than 20 years ago.

Bruce Lee’s sister-in-law Lin Yanni once said that Linda is very virtuous and even more traditional Oriental femininity than ordinary girls in Hong Kong. Therefore, Linda won praise from Li's family during the stay in Hong Kong in 1965. In interviews with TV and the media, Bruce Lee also said that Linda was too good to be "excellent" (Cantonese: Nothing to add)

Note: Another important woman who appeared next to Bruce Lee was Ding Pei , what kind of person is she?

Li: A strange person. Frankly speaking, the feeling I have in contact with her is that she is still obsessed with Bruce Lee. Back then, she became popular as a porn star in Hong Kong. But now she is dedicated to the study and promotion of Buddhism. The most influential one is , That is Bruce Lee. When it comes to Bruce Lee’s meaning to her, I can’t even think of her answer: She said: "Little Dragon is the Buddha in my heart." A few years after the death of

Xiaolong, she married and was still an actor at the time and has not yet operated Xiang Huaqiang of Yongsheng Film Company (producer of "God of Gamblers" and "Black Gold"), although the two divorced years ago, they have maintained an excellent relationship for many years. The son of Mr. Xiang's remarriage is also handed over Raised by Ding Pei.

I once asked Ding Pei-how did Mr. Xiang react to her admiring Bruce Lee so much? She replied: "It’s nothing, Mr. Xiang also likes Xiaolong. Usually when he notices that Xiaolong’s movies or clips are shown on TV I will take the initiative to ask me to see it." Another comment from Ding Pei on Xiaolong was: "Knowing him is the greatest joy of my life." What's interesting is that this sentence actually came from Ding Pei, Miao Kexiu, Lin Yanni, Bai Yunqin, etc. Four women who had known Xiaolong appeared in the same mouth.

: What did Linda say about Ding Pei?

Lee: In September 1973, when Linda returned to Hong Kong, the court decided to determine the cause of Xiaolong’s death and follow up During the "inquiry", she and Ding Pei attended the screening of Xiaolong's posthumous work "Dragon Fighting Tiger Fighting". During this period, the two talked from time to time. When the reporter inquired about Linda, Linda personally stated that she and Ding Pei were Good friend.

: The death of Li Guohao has also cast a strong mystery on the life experience of the Xiaolong family. What kind of feelings does he have for Xiaolong?

Li: When Li Guohao was about ten years old, he had sent it by mail. Sign up as a member of a Hong Kong Dragon Club. I was sixteen or seventeen years old. I had some contact with the person in charge of the club. After learning about this and finding that they were rather indifferent to this "special" member, I asked for the representative Fang and Guohao communicated for about two years. At that time, I felt that Guohao, who was still a child, really admired his father, and wanted to know more about his father.

In 1987, Li Guohao came The film "Dragon in the Rivers and Lakes" was filmed in Hong Kong. The funding for that movie was mainly from Japan. Li Guohao was used and paid a high price. He just wanted to use Bruce Lee's influence to get a top spot.

However, Guohao was very rebellious throughout the process. I don't want to mention, He also refused to imitate his father, and even expressed a lot of resentment towards his father.

In 1992, during the preparation of the movie "The Crow", he participated in the filming of the TV series "Kung Fu-90s Edition" and played the role of the actor's son. It seems that Guohao, who seems to be strongly criticized by many dragon fans, finally has some attitude towards his father change. He also revealed to Xiaolong's apprentice that he felt that his father was very remarkable and could create so many achievements.

even said that if he was invited to shoot "Bruce Lee's Biography", as long as there was no relationship between his father and mother, he would not refuse to accept it. Guohao accepted it once before he diedDuring the reporter's interview, he said that he has never wanted to be treated as a shadow of Xiaolong, pretending to be his father all day. But now let's go with the flow, want to know his father again.

Note: How is Li Xiangning now?

Li: I am not filming now, and I am married to an African cultural studies scholar in the United States. But this scholar is currently full-time responsible for pursuing royalties for Bruce Lee.

: Does Bruce Lee have any idols he admires?

Li: This has not been publicly stated. However, according to his apprentice's oral statements and letters, he admired the boxing champion Ali very much and collected a lot of Ali's documentaries for observation. From his moving footwork, you can also see the shadow of Ali. Although the two had never met, Ali met Xiaolong’s brother Li Zhenhui and asked jokingly: “I heard that your brother would like to fight me very much?”

Note: Do you think that if Bruce Lee is alive, he will eventually What is the goal achieved, and what specific plans does he have?

Li: I think that instead of guessing this question, it would be more interesting to cite some facts for you to refer to and infer.

In fact, Bruce Lee has not left much material in this regard. The most important one is of course "My Vision" written in black and white on January 6, 1969. However, will Xiaolong retreat after earning 10 million US dollars in the early 1980s, as "My Vision" said, and strive to enjoy joy and a harmonious life? It is indeed unknown, but based on his friendly conversations with his beloved apprentices and friendly conversations, Xiaolong’s love for martial arts remained unabated until his death in 1973. For example, he went to the United States in August 1973 to play the role of "Dragon Fighting Tiger Fight". Film dealers and lawyers are certainly among the appointments, but several lovers, including Takezhi Kimura, Yilu Shandu, Feng Tianlun, Li Hongxin, etc., and even close friends in the martial arts world such as Li Junjiu, Xie Weili, and Xihu Nishioka, have directly or indirectly Received Xiaolong’s meeting agreement. Xiaolong made similar arrangements in such a compact and important itinerary, which is obviously enough to be regarded as the embodiment of the following dialogue: During the filming of "Dragon Fight and Tiger Fight", Shi Jian, the senior actor who played the island lord Mr. Han, saw Xiaolong working hard for the movie I kept taking time to practice, and while there was no one in the dressing room, I persuaded my nephew Xiaolong who was doing warm-up exercises: Xiaolong, with your achievements in theater now, you don’t need to practice so hard, it’s relaxation. Time to get down.

And Xiaolong's reply is: "Uncle Jian, for me, movies are still a sideline"...So, Xiaolong's stay or stay should be traceable.

In addition, if we observe that the day before the death of Xiaolong, he still writes the new insights of the "3-way attack" carefully and neatly on the martial arts notes, we know that Xiaolong is not a sudden death, he and martial arts The indissoluble bond will definitely not end...

In terms of movie development, in addition to martial arts action movies, we must also have the opportunity to "see the martial arts-style movies conceived by Xiaolong. In addition, dance movies and inspirational movies It is also his other "production." And the so-called "Hong Kong-style fist" that still surpasses Hollywood, is very likely to be promoted and developed to a higher level under the full promotion and development of the "Film Warrior Guild" initiated by Xiaolong.

In addition, some people judge Xiaolong’s thinking, conversation and charm that he is qualified to enter the American political arena... However, some of his colleagues who are close to Xiaolong are not optimistic about his back injury, and think that Xiaolong even has a chance to be over 40. For the rest of his life, he may also have to use a wheelchair to travel.

Note: After the interview series, many readers wrote to express their most concern about Bruce Lee’s lack of an Open record, so what is his actual combat ability?

Lee: In Bruce Lee’s era, the United States also There is no full-contact fighting competition. Semi-contact competitions have just emerged in the karate world. Although Bruce Lee’s speed and kicks are enough to make him prosperous, the famous boxing coach Feng Tianlun, who has won the "Golden Glove" award many times by his students, fights West Lewis, who was born in boxing, and even Li Ann Naduo (Leonard, the king of boxing) who was in the Western boxing world in the 1980s, all said that Bruce Lee's hand strikes were at the level of professional competitions, but he advocated the comprehensiveness of martial arts early on and strongly advocated NO. The little dragon in the HOLDS BARRED competition will naturally not stay out of the way.

However, just like his "water" and "plank" theory, Xiaolong still uses the training of students to make great achievements to show that even if he participates in this kind of stuff, he is also full of capital. The problem isYu he does not step in this muddy water himself.

Therefore, to point out that Bruce Lee does not have a title in martial arts competition is a conclusive fact, and it is not indispensable; however, it is unfair to measure or question Bruce Lee’s actual level, regardless of the superficiality and naivety of the situation at the time. "Why not eat minced meat" echoes.

As for whether Bruce Lee is a fighter or not, it is of course not persuasive for me to make a comment. It is better to let the experts evaluate him. Luo Lishi is a karate champion, but he publicly admitted on TV that he is Bruce Lee's apprentice. Elvis' bodyguard Mickey Stone is also a student of Bruce Lee. And Di Jiadu, who had won the heyday of Luo Lishi, did not mention the specific experience of fighting Bruce Lee. He only described "like fighting with a shadow, he can always predict the opponent's actions in advance and react." Another one Karate champion Robert Wo, that is, "Dragon Fighting Tiger Fighting" and Bruce Lee competed in the arena because of the sneak attack, the actor who was eventually killed by Bruce Lee. After a filming of

, when the Western actress in the crew asked Bruce Lee about the distinction between film action and actual combat martial arts, Bruce Lee and Robert Wo fought in a semi-contact karate method that his opponent was good at, and Bruce Lee won. Robert Wo asked to fight again, but Bruce Lee won.

In addition, when the famous free-box fighter "Jet" Binney talked about the street fight with Bruce Lee, he also said that he had no chance of winning. In addition, Bath & 39; Luton, Na & 39; Benner, Mark & ​​39; Henry and other UFC, K-1, PRIDE tournament kings and good players to respect the dragon, all should be listed as the ultimate backup volume and inventory Auxiliary thinking materials for credibility.

Hayward Xigang


In 2000, when mixed martial arts began to become popular, similar controversies began one after another in the international martial arts arena. While public opinion on both positive and negative sides was entangled, Xigang, a famous American judoist, finally could not hold back and published an article on the influence of this debate. He wrote in it:

"Bruce Lee cannot answer your question now. Question, but based on my origins with martial arts, I asked myself to be qualified to make an evaluation.


's personal experience and achievements in martial arts for more than 40 years, whether in standing, lying or combined combat, can make me feel There are not many people who are surprised and surprised. But every time I fight with Bruce Lee, I always feel this way, because regardless of technology and content, Xiaolong always keeps introducing new ones.


I have no doubts about his ability to participate in the competition. In actual situations where there are no regulations, I think Bruce Lee's'horrible level' should be four times that of the game." In the article,

Xigang also talked about his experience of playing against Bruce Lee once - in a stand-up match. Bruce Lee has always made him at a loss. That time, soon after the two met, Xigang, with red eyes, decided to fight Xiaolong in the end:

"I took the initiative to lie on the ground and signaled Bruce Lee to attack, so that he could taste the taste of breaking into the world of judo champions.


Bruce Lee immediately kept his distance from him. After a while, he retreated. After signalling that he would not participate in the invitation to the'lying on the ground', he calmly said to me:'You better stay on the ground and not get up.'"

Before Xiaolong passed away, there were a lot of condemnation and challenge noises, and there were a lot of storytelling stories. And "Black Belt" magazine even published a cartoon. There is a tree in the picture, and a poster on it that looks like a reward for hunting down a brown bear. The difference is that the side is full of bullet holes, standing with a shotgun and picking toothpicks. The hunter wrote a notice of the beginning of the hunting season, and what he painted was not a beast in the forest but a portrait of a little dragon.

But what's interesting is that after Xiaolong passed away, everyone who stood up and talked only said that he had been beaten by him, but no one had ever dared to accept the wreath that I defeated Bruce Lee. Therefore, in that era when there was a lack of video information, it was a lack of objective and fairness to deny Bruce Lee's actual combat ability by not participating in actual combat. If he does not have the convincing actual combat ability, it is impossible for him to be praised by so many martial artists with actual combat achievements.

Bruce Lee has been fully engaged in full-contact free combat combat training since 1966. The training objects are all disciples with art casters or top American champions


Note: I have a question, if there is not a lot of practical training with mastersHow to maintain the judgment and response ability necessary for fighting?

Li: Bruce Lee did not participate in the competition, it does not mean that he has no actual combat training. From his advocacy to jump out of the pool to swim, don’t swim while standing on the shore knows that he strongly encourages actual combat training.

As for actual combat training with masters, it is not only available on the playing field. Bruce Lee charges a lot during the opening of the boxing gym in Los Angeles, but he can also not charge, provided that he is willing to do actual combat training with him. At that time, there were many well-known masters, such as Puerto Rican masters Di Jiadu (Dirgado), Xigang, etc., who seemed to have won the multi-time American karate champion in his heyday. As long as there is no filming, he will hold parties in his big back garden every weekend to train and fight with friends. Feng Tianlun, who is also Bruce Lee's apprentice, has six Golden Glove boxers under him, and also brought many master apprentices to participate.


Finishing the finishing touch, the myth reappears: an interview with Bruce Lee biographer Mr. Li Zhiyuan (Part 2) - Lujuba

Note: Does Bruce Lee have any video materials of real fighting contests?

Li: Yes, informal. Also during the filming of "Dragon Fighting Tiger Fighting", there was a warrior who was almost 1.8 meters tall and insisted on competing with Bruce Lee, and finally had a fight on the set. The specific situation of

is that the witness Shi Jian and the photographer Huang Henry who filmed the situation at the time respectively recalled to me personally. In terms of confirming the information, it is necessary to wait for the opportunity of Huang Henry's masterpiece to be unearthed. According to Shi Jian-the situation was very fast at the time and I couldn't see it clearly. I only knew that at the beginning, Bruce Lee swooped over, and then his opponent knelt against the wall. Xiaolong had already stepped forward to seal the position and pressed his opponent's neck with his forehand. When his backhand followed, he felt that Xiaolong was a bit hesitant, probably not deciding whether to attack again. In the end, Xiaolong still knocked down his opponent with one punch.

, Huang Henry, who was filming the behind-the-scenes highlights, just didn't finish work, and filmed the entire plot. His recollection is 60 to 70% similar to Shi Jian. But he didn't lose sight of Xiaolong's first blow like Shi Jian and other martial artists at the time, and even made a bet on whether the first blow was a punch or a foot. Because of his position and angle at the time, it was clear that Xiaolong's first blow was with two leg blows. This clip was all sent back to Warner America, just like other tidbits. At the end of the last century, he had arranged for Warner to make a round of inspections in the main warehouse, but unfortunately there was no gain.

Finishing the finishing touch, the myth reappears: an interview with Bruce Lee biographer Mr. Li Zhiyuan (Part 2) - Lujuba


: What is the detailed plot of the famous Chinatown martial arts representative Huang Zemin going to Bruce Lee to kick the gym?

Li: This paragraph is also a recollection of experience Lin, and the public just knows the general situation.

At that time, Bruce Lee had just returned home from the East Coast, and he also contracted a cold. When Lin Da, who was pregnant with Li Guohao, met her husband at the boxing gym, she happened to ran into a total of seven people from Huang Zemin, who represented the local Guoshu Association, to come to negotiate with Bruce Lee. Before

, they had informed Xiaolong and advised him not to teach foreign apprentices, otherwise they would make Xiaolong uncomfortable, but they didn't say when it would come. There was no notice this time. The two sides talked for a while, but in the end they could not negotiate.

Bruce Lee said at the time that since you come to the door, I will decide when, where and how to fight—that is, to fight instantly, on the spot, without rules, and completely open. When

started, Bruce Lee's apprentice Yan Jinghai was strictly forbidden to monitor the other people who were not on the court, so that Bruce Lee and Huang Zemin could compete alone. The battle of

lasted for three minutes. Bruce Lee chased Huang Zemin, who was 1.8 meters in height, to fight for the entire . The opponent dodged all over the court, and most of the punches only hit the yellow back. In the end, Bruce Lee finally captured the opponent, pressed Huang to the ground with a lock technique and asked his opponent: "Is it enough?" When Huang answered that he was enough. Bruce Lee "grabbed Huang Zemin by the collar, dragged him all the way to the door and threw him out", this is Linda's original words.

Huang Zemin only came out in the 1980s and claimed that there was another version, saying that it took 15 to 20 minutes in total, and that he would sue Linda for the fact that it was written in 75 years, but in the end there was no follow-up.

: What impact did this experience of fighting against Bruce Lee have?

Lee: Afterwards, Bruce Lee, who returned to Hong Kong for the funeral, sent several letters to his apprentice Yan Jinghai, all of which were new discoveries and insights on the improvement of Wing Chun. At the same time, it is necessary to increase power, speed and explosive power. But after a few letters, Bruce Lee said that Wing Chun had been changed, and he had to give up. Or it can be said that this incident has a direct impact on Bruce Lee's establishment of Jeet Kune Do.

: In addition to this incident, Bruce Lee also encountered other door-to-door kicksThe event? What does he usually do?

Li: Yes. At that time, karate and Tang Shou Dao sent people to ask for discussion.

If Bruce Lee is there, it will be handled by Bruce Lee, if not, it will be handled by Yilu Sandu. At this time, Bruce Lee would welcome discussions and exchanges, but after class, those people would always watch them first, and soon they would say goodbye or leave with excuses.

Because they are usually overwhelmed by the intensity and level of the Xiaolong students’ training, if you take a closer look, you will most likely find that their stars such as Zu Lewis (Joe Lewis) and Robert Wo (Bao Bo Wall), Di Gado (Dirgado) and others are actually practicing silently in this corner. In the current super masters or ancestors, it is undoubtedly the most reasonable and wise for them to choose to retreat in the face of difficulties.

: How does Xiaolong himself evaluate these challengers?

Li: As mentioned earlier, Bruce Lee has never publicly commented on his experience of fighting.

At this point, MMA and former UFC world champion Bath Luton is very similar to Xiaolong. As for whether Bath's commentary on this is close to Xiaolong's point of view, it is not known, but it is instructive. Bath said: "Don't ask me how to get the opponent out in actual combat, because 99% of the guys who are looking for trouble on the street are unskilled and untrained assholes. Killing these people is worth talking about, not to mention. What to be proud of or brag about. "

So, Xiaolong challenged his speech to Hong Kong reporters-"I have passed the stage to prove myself." Obviously more concise and concise than Bath. In fact, even if Xiaolong is still at the level of "proving himself", his handling is very free and easy. For example, the one-meter eighty-meter, on behalf of the National Art Museum in New York, asked Xiaolong to "tell the numbers". He once described in the documentary that "being kicked by a dragon is far more uncomfortable for a professional rugby player." Once taught him how to “friendly” explain to his tribe-Xiaolong said: "After you go back, there is no problem with how to reply to them. You can beat me once, or you can beat me once, anyway. Everything is up to you. "

" "Ordinary Heart" is indeed enough to describe Xiaolong's attitude towards each challenge. Even Huang Zemin, who impressed him, Xiaolong has not commented publicly. At best, he can only find a clue in the correspondence between their master and apprentice. (Xiaolong used to describe Huang Zemin as "runner" in one of his letters to student Li Hongxin).

Note: What single technology is Bruce Lee's most powerful?

Li: Bruce Lee said that fist strength should be practiced as heavy as a kick, and feet should be practiced as flexible as hands. I really don't have the right to answer that specific trick, but according to Yilu Shandu, Xiaolong's UPPER CUT is indeed beyond description.

: Bruce Lee’s legs are very sharp, but with his understanding, why didn’t he expect to use a more powerful shin sweep?

Answer: I have also wondered about the question, and I personally asked Yilu Shandu. He replied, it's not that Xiaolong doesn't know how to kick with shin sweep, on the contrary, he still masters it very well. Because he kicked this way when he first contacted Xiaolong, and he would be limp in the next few days. The reason why

Xiaolong has always reserved this technique is mainly because of the scruples of using tibia sweeping kicks in street combat, which is far more than the ring. The surrounding tables and chairs, as well as the opponent’s knees and elbows, will be natural enemies of the tibia. Once the tibia is injured, the fighting power will drop. Therefore, the dragon avoids using the tibia to shake it hard, but is happy to use its special inlays. The steel toe cap, to replace the shin bone's killing sharpness.

In addition, attaches great importance to the technique and exercise of attacking opponent's shins and knees, and he appreciates the traumatic effects of such attacks. , After all, the simplest and quickest way to defeat the enemy is the consistent proposition of Xiaolong's martial arts.

Li: As mentioned by Lushandu, Xiaolong has a two-meter high and one-meter wide oil tape. Hang up during training and hit it continuously to train explosive power. The target of hits is , which is two inches behind the oil tape.

: How did Yilushandu come to the door of Bruce Lee?

Lee:Ilu Santo and Ivan Perga, the father of American karate, are both Filipinos. In 1964, Long Causeway Karate was organized by Irving Perga, and Yilu Santo was the staff inside. Bruce Lee's on-site demonstration made Yilu Shandu sincerely admired, and since then joined Bruce Lee's students.

: Can you use one word to describe how Bruce Lee made you feel?

Lee: is strong and . (Cantonese, powerful, outstanding ability and temperament means).

He is an independent, very intelligent, pioneer with superb judgment and practical ability. In this world, there are many people like him with superior personality and intellectual charm, who have promoted and improved the world in different fields. But I think he is a unique thinker and pioneer in the martial arts field.

He believes in the phrase "I think, therefore I am, I walk my way." All prove that is a pioneer who seeks the truth all his life and strives to realize his ideals.
