Bruce Lee Had No Game

The second in a video series — Ten Ways To See Bruce Lee!

Did you know that Bruce Lee had no game? It boggles the mind, right?

Here’s the guy who reshaped the image of strength, sexuality, and basic badassery for Asian men for generations. He’s the person you wanted to be - or person you wanted to be with.

But let’s go back to teenage Bruce.

You might have heard that young Bruce liked to fight for fun, and that he was kind of a tough dude. It’s true - Hong Kong in the 1950s was the epicenter of a huge fight culture called beimo. Bruce was all up in it. 

Before long, he was known among the guys as someone not to be messed with.

But with the ladies, he was less like Superman than Clark Kent…

Watch the rest!

This is the second video in a ten-episode series, Ten Ways To See Bruce Lee, that accompanies my new book, Water Mirror Echo. Out September 23rd. 

Every Tuesday we’re dropping another short on Bruce Lee. Stay tuned!
