Joining me on the Saturday, August 11 broadcast of Marvels of China: Pathways to the Pacific Rim is Tommy Gong, the author of Bruce Lee: The Evolution of a Martial Artist.
Tracing Bruce Lee’s path from wing chun student to jeet kune do founder, Gong’s biography chronicles Lee’s physical journey—from Hong Kong to Seattle to Oakland to Los Angeles and back again to Hong Kong—as well as his voyage of self-discovery and actualization.
His book draws on numerous conversations with Bruce Lee’s childhood classmates, former students, and family friends, offering a unique insight into the life of the legendary martial artist. It also offers a wealth of rare and unique photos, letters, and personal writings courtesy of Lee’s wife, Linda Lee Cadwell, and his daughter Shannon.
As we learn from Tommy Gong about Bruce Lee's progression in martial arts techniques and training methods, we will also discover how Lee’s personal philosophy of continuously adapting to the changing conditions of the moment can be applied to life.
We will feature the Confucius Moment, Treasures of China, Paul Cabo’s Chinese Word of the Week and more!
