Jesse GLover, Bruce Lee's first and foremost student, Dec 21 1999
By Chris Sutton - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Bruce Lee's Non-Classical Gung-Fu (Paperback)
Jesse Glover has written books on Bruce Lee that stand as the only information available on how Mr. Lee was trained before coming to the United States, his training and thinking when he arrived here, and the foundation he began to evolve to arrive at his later skills. Mr. Lee did not teach his foundation, which occured during his Seattle years, after leaving Seattle. Jesse Glover is supremely qualified to discuss this foundation and time, as he was Bruce Lee's training partner, whom Mr. Lee used to work out changes, and eventually that foundation. This particular book also includes pictures and information on Wong Shun Leong, one of Bruce Lee's senior, and formative instructors, before Mr. Lee came to the U.S. In a society concerned primarily with image, perhaps it is fitting that Bruce Lee's formative years, and his foundation, remain anonymous. Mr. glover's books are the only substantive information on this subject.
