ALS signed “Bruce,” one page, 8.5 x 11, no date. Letter to Taky Kimura, his prize student and eventually one of only three Lee-certified instructors of Jeet Kune Do. In full: “The accompanying sheets are promotional ideas of Gung Fu. They are from my note book and I’m sure when put into a set formula, it will be effective. Let me know how your plans are of the organization of schools and we’ll discuss it. I, myself, want you to have shares of it. Write and let me know what your planning & thinking is.” In fine condition, with creasing along the left side and a small spot of toning to top left corner.
Shortly after Lee’s arrival in Seattle he met Kimura, a Japanese-American businessman using martial arts to restore self-confidence lost in the anti-Japanese sentiment of post-war America. Kimura’s journey eventually led him to Lee and his system of Jeet Kune Do. Through their exercises together as master and apprentice, Kimura and Lee became lifelong friends, with Lee naming him as his first assistant instructor before the soon-to-be actor left Seattle. Not only did Lee trust his friend as an instructor but also with the promotion of his business, as evidenced by this message.
