Here they are, available for the first time in one collection, Bruce Lee's conversations with the press from 1958 to 1973.
Words of the Dragon is an anthology of rare newspaper and magazine interviews with Bruce Lee, many not previously published in the United States, revealing new words and explanations of Bruce about himself, his art, and philosophy.
Interesting and insightful, Words of the Dragon provides the reader a means to understand the real Bruce Lee, offering us a unique keyhole through which to view the private life and personal struggles of the late martial arts superstar. These interviews provide us with Lee's own interpretations of life, the martial arts, international stardom, and his cross-cultural marriage during a time of racism.
John Little is considered one of the world's foremost authorities on Bruce Lee, his training methods, and philosophies. Little is the only person who has ever been authorized to review the entirety of Lee's personal notes, sketches, and reading annotations. He is currently the Associate Publisher of Bruce Lee magazine and the managing editor of Knowing Is Not Enough, the official newsletter of the Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do Nucleus. Little's articles have appeared in every martial arts and health and fitness magazine in North America. He is the author of The Warrior Within:The Philosophies of Bruce Lee, and co-author of Power Factor Training, The Golfer's 2-Minute Workout, and Static Contraction Training For Bodybuilders.

Quotes

  • Andrei Zaharkevichhas quoted3 years ago
    No one person could bring together such a collection of articles without assistance. First and foremost, I owe a debt of gratitude to Linda Lee Cadwell, Bruce’s wife from 1964 to 1973, for having the pride and disposition to clip and save the various interviews and articles that were written about her husband (particularly those from the early 1960s).
    My appreciation also extends to Adrian Marshall, Bruce Lee’s lawyer from 1969 until Lee’s passing in 1973. Both Linda and Adrian have given me solid encouragement in all of the numerous Bruce Lee-related projects I’m involved with.
    Many of the publications from which I’ve excerpted materials are now defunct. In all cases, however, an attempt was made to locate either the authors or publishers of these materials for permission to reprint them. Where I was successful, the articles and interviews have been tagged “Reprinted with permission.” Where it proved impossible, I’ve provided those elements of the credits (publication, author, date, etc.) to which I had access.
    Nevertheless, I owe a huge debt of gratitude to the men and women who wrote these articles for their work in preserving a unique aspect of martial arts heritage. I would also like to thank the following publications for permission to reprint the selections in this volume of the Bruce Lee Library:
    Associated Press
    Chicago’s American
    China Mail (Hong Kong)
    Gastonia Gazette
    Hong Kong Standard
    Little-Wolff Creative Group
