It is believed a nurse at the hospital gave Lee his American name of “Bruce.” After a childhood in Hong Kong, where he appeared in most of his 24 credited films, Lee arrived in Seattle in 1959. Lee, an established martial artist in Hong Kong, demonstrated Gung Fu techniques locally, starting in the summer of 1959 at a Seafair event in Chinatown. He was noticed by judo expert Jesse Glover, who asked Lee to teach him Gung Fu, a form of martial arts that intersects philosophy with fighting. Lee agreed and began to mentor Glover and others at the corner of Maynard Avenue South and South Lane Street. He would hold informal training in parking lots, basements and anywhere he could set up space. He later established the Jun Fan Gung Fu Institute in a storefront at 653 South Weller Street. His students were of all stripes, teaching non-Asians the martial arts when it was frowned upon by fellow Asians. Represent one of the Greatest Philosophers and Marital Artists of all time!
