written by Yip Chun, son of Bruce's Wing Chun instructor Yip Man, and detailed a battle that had taken place between Bruce and another youth named Yeung Yat Fung during the 1950's. The basic gist of the story is that Bruce had challenged Yeung to a fight and after a suitable location was decided Bruce and Yeung squared off to fight. After a long pause Bruce threw out a straight punch at Yeung, which missed Yeung completely, this gave Yeung an opening and he threw a strike back, which put Bruce down. Bruce quickly got to his feet and without saying a word, turned and walked away. On March 17th , the Hong Kong based English newspaper The Star published the first of a four part article, entitled "The Bruce Lee Story" by Yip Chun, the first three parts dealt with some of the past events involving Bruce and his instructor Yip Man, however the fourth instalment on March 20th had the sub-heading "The day Bruce was floored with one blow".
After Bruce Lee died, I remained quiet for a number of years. But in the past few years, I have started to get a little more actively involved in the martial arts and jeet kune do. I had always wanted to teach the martial arts someday, but during those years, I felt I was still learning and still training. But I think after 20some years, I have paid my dues and put my time into it. I have found that people really want to learn the original art and what Bruce Lee taught when he was alive. That's the reason I'm teaching now.
Aside from being skilled in hand to hand combat, Bruce Lee was very skilled in his use of weapons, an aspect of his training that was often overlooked. Bruce Lee was very proficient in the use of many weapons, however the one he was most associated with was the nunchaku.Bruce first began using the nunchaku in the early sixties when his friend and most senior student, Dan inosanto introduced him to the Filipino martial art of Kali.
