    Actually I found out some stuff recently that kinda got me thing that there may well have been more to it - something someone close to him told me.

    If you want the details you'll have to ask me in person - I'm certainly not posting it on the web.

    Hash? Mmmmm..... corned beef hash, with red cabbage...... Mmmmmm.

    Hmm.....on this site -

    www.bruceleedivinewind.cjb.net

    There's an interview with Robert Lee, where he says that they have an idea how Bruce died but they would rather not discuss this at this time....

    PS - Yoda, would a PM do it?

    Thanx,

    That'll be the same as I've been told then

    No - sorry.

    It'll come out eventually I'm sure. That's if THEY don't squash it!

    I think it might have been either very personal, or something law related. If this is the case, then something may have just come to light within the last 5 years or so. I'm not going to speculate any further.

    Yoda, I trust that you were not entirely serious about telling people if they saw you in person... especially if they are off an online forum. If Mr. Lee does not wish to discuss it, I don’t see how others could.

    If 'they' squash it, let them. Otherwise, I'm just going to let it go... as in, not look for it. But if it comes to my ears... then I'm not going to be deaf.

    What I meant was that will tell people IN PERSON who i know IN PERSON and can trust. "Knowing" someone via an internet forum is not the same as knowing them in "real life" - of course there are people here that i know in BOTH senses.

    I think a lot of people out there confuse the "no way as way..." quote. They think it means you should spread yourself thinly all over the place learning new techniques and applying "JKD Concepts" to them. Yes, I'm come from the aforementioned "Jun Fan Gung Fu" school of thought, what we do is really called Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do, not Jun Fan Gung Fu, Jun Fan Gung Fu looks more like modified Wing Chun, Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do does not (I have a whole book devoted to comparing the two, trust me, they are quite different). In Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do, other arts are not rejected simply because "it is not in our style to do that", rejections are based on careful and experience evaluation of how techniques of other arts work with what we do. For example, if it requires us to work out of a different stance, it is likely going to be disregarded. I guess the difference between what we do and a traditional "style" is simple. A heavily traditional martial artist will reject everything not in their style. We simply reject what does not work (be it inefficient, impractical for our stance, etc, the only real exception to the stance factor would be groundfighting, which really doesnt HAVE a stance), or what works but we already have something (or several things) like it that work far better, regardless of what "style" it comes from. Is Jeet Kune Do supposed to be set in stone? No, but you can't have people going about making changes to it the day they walk in the door, you have to actually give them the knowledge required to judge what does and doesn't work.

    Good post Trieces. You put it into words that many people should hear... unfortunatly those people don't want to hear them, or have no idea.

    I just skipped to the last page so sorry if this has already been mentioned.

    So how did Bruce die, well the two most plausible theories is (1) He's brain had an allergic reaction go some medication he was taking and (2) He was poisoned? Bruce smoked cannabis and only brought the good stuff from certain people but one occasion he brought from someone he didn't know, he collapsed and nearly died. Then it happened again and this time he doctors were unable to save him. Some say that on both occasions the cannabis was poisened, and nearly killed then killed him.

    Thats funny, my fake martial arts teacher taught me that stuff too! But I learned later that jeet kune do is all about saying "no way as way" a lot and getting an initiate rank in every MA I can get my hands on. Everything else bruce lee said is meaningless! Just the "no way as way", thats the only thing that he was really saying! The rest is just lies!

    Out of the poll, I'd say your mother.

    Anyway, about Bruce's death. Ok, what if he DID die by a curse from demons or the mystical dragon that became part of the rumor?

    Perhaps, if this is so, then whatever bad spirit killed Bruce Lee, probably covered up the mystery of his death with the so-called "brain edema". This is so to lead us away from the truth. Oh yeah, not to mention all the other rumors going around about his death is also probably a part of the cover-up.

    "I don't want too many in my organization. I don't want some of my students to go out and teach the public and make money on 'JKD' - especially if they use my name to draw the students."

    I'll try to find it in my list of Bruce Lee websites. There's a website where it shows Dan Inosanto and some other people being interviewed.
