Member Jadedragon61 Posted April 24, 2011 Member Share Posted April 24, 2011 Anent, this post viewtopic.php?f=15&t=455&p=1667#p1667, I happened to recall this book:Bruce Lee: Between Wing Chun and Jeet Kune Do, by Jesse Glover. It's not easy to find anymore, but VERY well worth reading, if you come across it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member DragonClaws Posted February 17, 2020 Member Share Posted February 17, 2020 Jesse Glover Broke the Kung Fu Color Barrier - By Steven Moody Link- https://www.snakevscranewingchun.com/jesse-glover-broke-kung-fu-color-barrier Quote Jesse Glover and Bruce Lee broke a color barrier in 1959. They were like Leo Durocher and Jackie Robinson (the manager of the Dodgers and the Black player he signed, the first in US “white” professional sports, breaking the “color barrier”), except Bruce and Jesse broke the Chinese kung fu barrier quietly, in the back rooms and side streets of Seattle near the campus of Edison Technical College. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DragonClaws Posted February 23, 2020 Member Share Posted February 23, 2020 Number ONE: Reflections of Bruce Lee’s First Student, Jesse Glover (Book) Source- https://www.usadojo.com/number-one-reflections-of-bruce-lees-first-student-jesse-glover/ Quote Their relationship was truly one of Yin and Yang, in that both gave each other something the other did not previously have. While Jesse was already an accomplished Judo man, he had little knowledge of the striking arts, which Lee could perform effortlessly. In return, Glover (along with most of the core Seattle group) enlightened Bruce on improving his confidence in public speaking, his mannerisms and to some extent, the foundation of Lee’s art of Jeet Kune Do.Born on October 16th, 1934, Jesse Glover first met Bruce Lee as a student in Seattle, Washington. Bruce had to take some classes before he could enter college so they originally met through Edison Technical School (which is now Seattle Central Community College). From then on, the two were inseparable until around 1962. They were still friends, however their training had ended and both went on with their lives, made new buddies and were set on completely different courses for their future lives. They would continue to be social up until around 1965, when Jesse met with Bruce in Seattle during Brandon Lee’s birthday party. Flash forward eight years: Bruce Lee had starred in a ground breaking television series called, “The Green Hornet”, had opened and closed three martial arts schools, taught multiple Hollywood celebrities including James Coburn, Steve McQueen and Lee Marvin, coached three world Karate champions that included Mike Stone, Joe Lewis and the future action hero, Chuck Norris. And finally, Bruce Lee nearly single handedly invented a new genre of martial arts films. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
