I've never read anything to suggest they didn't get along, even outside of business dealings. Guess Parker, like a lot of Martial Artists of the time, would have been intrigued by Lee's views on Martial Arts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never read that book, Ed Parker helped Lee gets some exposure and gave him some work at the same time. Maybe Lee did dislike his books, he may have even said that to Parkers face?. Never heard anyone connected to that era discussing the subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member shukocarl Posted February 12, 2017 Member Share Posted February 12, 2017 Bruce "stole" many of Parker's students like Dan Inosanto, Dan Lee, Richard Bustillo, Jerry Poteet, I think Larry Hartsell and Steve Golden? No wonder Parker was pissed off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Bleecker was married to Linda Lee and wrote the controversial Unsettled Matters. Bruce Thomas wrote Fighting Spirit and Fighting Words. Before that, he played bass for Elvis Costello and the Attractions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
