Description

Including accounts from eyewitnesses to Lees real-life fights, newspaper clippings, diary entries, and audio recordings, Wrath of the Dragon is the first book that deals directly with the question of Bruce Lees real-world fighting ability and presents the definitive case for Bruce being every bit as lethal as he appears onscreen.

NO RULES. NO PROBLEM.

Bruce Lee remains the gold standard that all martial artists are compared to. But could he actually fight World Champions in karate competition have gone on record to point out that he never once competed in tournaments. Were his martial abilities merely a trick of the camera

For the first time ever, Bruce Lee authority and bestselling author John Little takes a hard look at Bruce Lees real-life fights to definitively answer these questions with over 30 years of research that took him thousands of miles. Little has tracked down over 30 witnesses to the real fights of Bruce Lee as well as those who were present at his many sparring sessions (in which he was never defeated) against the very best martial artists in the world.

From the mean streets of Hong Kong, to challenge matches in Seattle and Oakland, to the sets of his iconic films where he was challenged repeatedly, this is the incredible real-life fighting record of the man known as the 'Little Dragon', who may well have been the greatest fighter of the 20th century.
