From what I gather, it will. It's only a short, so don't see why not. Let me know how it goes!

I thought this was going to explore Bruce Lee's relationship with an intellectually-challenged child-in-an-adult's-body.

I'll see myself out.

Oh, Peter Chan was in more Bruce Lee movies than I realised.

It's short already... Barely touches the surface of who Taky is. Nevertheless it's ok that friends of Bruce get some recognition too. I'd love to see something similar, however more in depth about his other friends like Inosanto or even more so James Yimm Lee. Why not make a full documentary or mini series about Bruce's companions now that's something I'd be interested in.

I think it's a very good video, well made and easy to follow.  Despite the very tough hardship's of his early life, Mr Kimura still looked very young when he first met the late Martial Artist & Actor.

Quote

During one exhibition in California, Lee arranged for Kimura to join him as a sparring partner. A video shows Lee wearing a black blindfold and knocking down Kimura several times, whether by design or accident.

But Kimura was always appreciative.

“I’d get a free ticket,” he said. “So I’d get to go down to California for free—and get beaten up in the process.”
