What was the problem with the other teacher that they didn't want Bruce Lee to teach Martial Arts. Jealous? Mad? Tradition that is not to by shown to others?

bruce lee was i think the very first person to teach chinese martial arts to non chinese people and the other people really didnt like that. (thats when they challenged him to fight one of their masters, and he did up on some place overlooking hte ocean or something like that, and bruce won. however, it took an astonishingly long 3 minutes for the fight to be over- which devestated bruce. that is why he became as obsessed as he was and studied all sorts of various arts, birthing the CONCEPT, not style, known as jeet kun do- which he only named because people wouldnt stop buggin him about it.... if youre wondering.)

First, "Dragon" was a movie, not history if that is what you watched.
The fight was at his school and there is some disagreement as to whether anyone actually "won"

Bruce Lee was also not the first Chinese to teach non-Chinese... but he was probably one of the most notorious.

About 60% of that movie is fiction. Linda Lee (his wife) has a book about the real Bruce Lee. I can;'t remember the name off hand, but I think there is more truth in that book. |

i have never seen dragon, so i assure you nothing i said was based on it or any movie. it was based on a biography, rather.

Woo Hoo I actually know somethign abotu this
Actually I watched the "Bruce Lee Story"
You shoudl rent it I think it tells a lot about him a lot of people don 't know.
From what I got from the movie is that the only chinese martial arts organization type thing didn't want him to teach outsiders a.ka. anyone who isn't chinees kung fu because it is there means of self defense against the enemy, who is anyone who isn't chinese.

There is a great deal of myth and lore in the martial arts. We tend to think that most of it is all ancient myth and lore. It is kind of thought to provoking to realize that some things of that nature happened in our lifetime.
About the disapproval others expressed when he started teaching non chinese. Orientel societies were traditionally closed to outsiders. Chinese used to refer to occidentals as "foreign devils". |
