John Little and the Legacy of Bruce Lee -- Internal Fighting Arts Podcast Interview
February 12, 2015
This weekend I will meet Dan Inosanto and study for the first time with someone who trained with Bruce Lee. It has been a 41-year old wish that will finally happen.
Dan studied with Bruce and also taught Bruce a few things about Kali. He appeared in Bruce's film "Game of Death," and he has the reputation of being a very nice man and a great teacher.
All the people who once trained with Bruce Lee are getting older now. Most are in their Seventies. Some have passed away. Bruce Lee would have turned 75 later this year. I can't imagine having the experience of actually training with Bruce as part of my martial background.
I also can't imagine having complete access to all of Bruce's notes, letters, photos and drawings.
This week's Internal Fighting Arts podcast features an interview with John Little, who took Bruce's personal papers and photos and created some of the best books that document Bruce's legacy. His books include:
- Jeet Kune Do
- Letters of the Dragon
- The Art of Expressing the Human Body
- Words of the Dragon
- Artist of Life
- The Warrior Within
- Bruce Lee: The Celebrated Life of the Golden Dragon
- Striking Thoughts: Bruce Lee's Wisdom for Daily Living
In 2011, John Little heard an interview I did on The Infidel Guy podcast and he sent me an email, telling me how refreshing it was to hear an internal artist who applied critical thinking skills to the subject of "chi powers." We struck up an email conversation and I asked him if I could do an interview.
Since my trip to the Inosanto workshop has backed me up this week, I am running that 2011 interview with John Little as the latest edition of the Internal Fighting Arts podcast.
