By Bestselling Bruce Lee Author – John Little

No Rules. No Problem.

UK Release Date: 14th of November 2023

Synopsis

Bruce Lee remains the gold standard that all martial art- ists are compared to. But could he actually fight? World Champions in karate competition have gone on record to point out that he never once competed in tournaments. Were his martial abilities merely a trick of the camera?

For the first time ever, Bruce Lee authority and best- selling author John Little takes a hard look at Bruce Lee’s real-life fights to definitively answer these questions with over 30 years of research that took him thousands of miles. Little has tracked down over 30 witnesses to the real fights of Bruce Lee as well as those who were present at his many sparring sessions (in which he was never defeated) against the very best martial artists in the world.

From the mean streets of Hong Kong, to challenge matches in Seattle and Oakland, to the sets of his iconic films where he was challenged repeatedly, this is the incredible real-life fighting record of the man known as the “Little Dragon,” who may well have been the greatest fighter of the 20th century.

THE STORY BEHIND THE BIRTH OF MIXED MARTIAL ARTS: Bruce Lee not only turned the world’s attention toward the skill and technique involved in street fighting, he also created his own unique approach to martial arts and single-handedly revolutionised and inspired count- less other forms of mixed martial arts.
EXPERT RESEARCH: John Little is “one of the foremost authorities on Bruce Lee in the world” according to Black Belt. He is the only person who has ever been authorised to review the entirety of Lee’s personal notes, sketches, and reading annotations. He has an insider’s look at Lee’s training methods and philosophies and brings that knowledge to this book.
