@@KnuckleDusterBuster are you referring to Julien’s Auction that’s full of fake items? Nope! I’ll pass

@@jkdart1980 Which items are fake? I was going to bid. Please let me know

@@KnuckleDusterBuster they all are fake. I looked at all of them. The only real item is the Enter The Dragon Hong Kong poster but those are dime a dozen in HK.

@@jkdart1980 I was skeptical about the ETD gloves for sure. And some items looked way too new to be real. What about the boxing gloves and headgear, can you let me know what about them gives them away as fake? Please let me know because I was going to bid on those. Thats disappointing the items were fake :(

@@KnuckleDusterBuster look at Bruce’s real ones and you’ll see the difference

@@squatch545 hi and hope you are doing well sir! Don’t quote me on this but I thought Bruce Lee drove to Oakland to live with James Lee in July, 1964. When he went back to Seattle to marry Linda and bring her back to Oakland in August, 1964, I believe he flew that time. Bruce met James Lee in 1962 and would travel from Seattle to Oakland from 1962 - 1964. As far as train tickets, I have not seen any on ebay or to my knowledge at least.

@@shengchenfan no offense at all because they are not rare. The information that I discovered about the photos is what makes the video special. No other fan or historian had figured the date, location and year of these photos along with the full information.

@@miltontapp147 thanks and that’s awesome bro! I was able to get two of those full matchbooks mint condition as well! I also have some other earlier matchbook covers that were used but ultra rare from other eras from the restaurant! Stay tuned, hopefully later this weekend I plan to make a video on a framed Ruby Chow’s item that belonged to Bruce Lee himself! ✌️🐉👌

I have a question for you.. do you know if there are any copies left of the new two books.. timeline of the dragon and the one of Bruce's tournaments.. I've seen both of them on eBay but they are very high

@@jkdart1980 Very rare as I just found out. I'm glad it's in good hands.

@@TheFranktel the person on my thumbnail that’s kicking is definitely Bruce Lee. Some people are not used to seeing Bruce Lee in photos prior to Enter The Dragon in 1973.

@@jkdart1980I’m used to seeing photos pre enter the dragon and that’s not Bruce,but it’s all good if you think so👍

@@TheFranktel its 💯 percent Bruce Lee. Take a look at Steve Kerridge’s book “Bruce Lee The Reg Smith Connection” which takes place in October, 1969 during the Marlowe Tour. You’ll see better shots of Bruce Lee’s face with the same exact haircut and clothing on. All of the true Bruce Lee fans know that’s him.. it’s totally fine if you refuse to believe it

Raymond definitely could’ve done more than wait…..

Where was the comment and what did i exactly say? Also whats your real name?

@@jkdart1980 I read it recently but don't remember in which program. Will let you know when I happen on it. I know you won't make a statement unless you have proof. Hence the question. I am keeping an open mind. Just want to get at the truth. Why do you want to know my name? Give me a reason. It's not Bruce though.

@@KOFAKEDEM its good to know who I’m talking to since you know who you’re talking to.

@@jkdart1980 I don't see the significance of knowing the name of just an average Joe. No offense, but I haven't paid much attention to your name either. I enjoy the contents of your programs regardless. That's what counts. I am using this name for some other proper purpose which requires anonymity. You will have to excuse me for not providing my real name.

In response to your question on where you said Bruce was on drugs, I found your comment on Bruce's drug use in your June 12, 2024 program entitled "Bruce Lee and Linda Emery....." As I said, I am interested in a fair treatment on any topic, and you have been providing them. Unlike the others, you must have good evidence to support your position, other than just these letters and comments from people who were never personally privy to what went on at the time. Bruce said so himself, he was no saint. He was a rascal, and that is part of his allure. I only asked that he be treated fairly, as he obviously can't defend himself now. I would welcome your comments. Looking forward to be convinced by some verifiable evidence. Thanks.

@@ramondiaz2851 it takes a lot of time and dedication

@@KOFAKEDEM my guess is maybe Doug Palmer wrote this up for Bruce… after all he was in school to become an attorney and has been one for decades now..

@@jkdart1980 Now that you mentioned it, that was entirely possible.

@@KOFAKEDEM thanks and yes I had this translated to exactly what you said and i have already include the date of October 10, 1963 as National Day Gala in the book

@@jkdart1980 Like you, I am only interested in the truth, be it political and otherwise, just like Bruce. The truth often requires meticulous examination. By the way, someone did point out, and I agree, that the handwriting in the alleged "drug letters" looks dissimilar to Bruce's earlier handwriting. No reputable handwriting expert has given an opinion. Perhaps it's something that you should look into? Thank you.

@@KOFAKEDEM thanks and id have to see the exact letter you’re referring to

@@jkdart1980 Some of his "supporters'" programs do have parts of these letters reproduced quite legibly to the point that they could be compared to his earlier handwriting.

@@KOFAKEDEM hmm not sure what to say

@@martineering.evoluzione i was 8 and seen this in the Almaden Theater in 1988!

@@eelecurb thanks 🙏 Steve

@@squatch545 thanks for watching. Hayward is a separate city from Oakland but part of the same county. Hayward to Oakland is about 20 minutes on the same freeway 880. I’m not sure how long the school stayed open but my guess is that it didn’t make it into 1965.

@@DarinWaugh2x thanks 🙏 as always Darin!

I still have not seen any photos of the inside of the Broadway school unfortunately.

Yes they did. I’ve seen the new one. Not the same feeling as having the original hospital where Bruce Lee was born.

@@jkdart1980 I know what you mean

@@ramondiaz2851 the Chinese character the Bruce sometimes wrote under his name is Dragon.

@jkdart1980 I figured that ! But I wasn't sure because sometimes a written word could be many things or meanings!! KOOL!!

@@wilsonip1440 thanks for watching! I’m sure there was some Chinese dessert place that Bruce Lee liked! It’s good to see historical places that Bruce Lee once visited, still there.

@@chriss3097 thanks 🙏 nothing like the richness of analog sound 🎶

@@Retro_Slinger it’s definitely a mistake for sure…. I think it’s possible he had 1961 on his mind for some reason, maybe an event or something he was looking forward to and wrote that instead of 1960. He was still fairly new to this country even though he was born here.

@@peterreynolds141 that film and Foxy Brown!

@@stejcool thanks and I like to do research and bring facts to the table.

There’s lots of love for Bruce out there… and sadly, lots of hate. I have to say, though, that the KFG is an excellent source for understanding the real Bruce Lee. If you take a look at some of KFG’s other posts (esp the one about the drugs letters), you’ll see he loves Bruce, respects him hugely but is also objective enough to acknowledge Bruce’s flaws.

@@stejcool I watched one of his shows on the drug letters. Apparently, there are enough materials to make four shows. Afterwards, I just don't get what message he was trying to convey. Was he trying to alert young people to the harmful effects of drugs? Was he showing his concerns for Bruce's wellbeing and health some fifty-one years after his death? Or was he showing that Bruce was a drug addict and making money doing it? Bruce said so himself that he was no saint. We know he had flaws. I am not a blind worshipper of anyone, but still want to know the purpose of showing that he has flaws, without more, is to serve what end? That's a strange way to show someone already departed, someone who can no longer defend himself from allegations against him, that you love him.

@@KOFAKEDEM I think all topics regarding Bruce Lee should be discussed. As for my channel, I tend to do things a little differently. I prefer to bring new information to the table by doing extensive research and uncovering Bruce Lee related history that has been unsolved for the last 50 to 60 years… this is something new and separates my channel from the rest of the mainstream channels. Although it’s good to discuss topics such as the drug letters, it’s already out in the public.

@@KOFAKEDEM I take your point… it’s bizarre that people still pore over Bruce’s passing and the possible causes. It serves no real purpose. I’m guilty of it too: I can only put it down to the fact that Bruce’s achievements and legend are so great that it is only human to try and understand what could possibly have caused his passing. I’m still not sure what parts of the interest are down to grief and/or morbid curiosity! Whichever it is, you’re right: Bruce should be remembered and celebrated for his achievements in life rather than what happened on that day in July 73.

@@jkdart1980 I commend you for your efforts. You are attempting to recreate a lost "reality" by showing the actual artifacts as you read out their contents and make reasonable interpretations of them. As regards the drug letters, my view remains that presenting a one-sided discussion on some letters, together with someone who attests to the authenticity and his own interpretations of these letters, when the writer could no longer respond to them, is unfair. It's very different to the interpretation of dates of some events being unclear or confusing. That doesn't have any connotations on the character of a person. Discussions of a person's alleged drug habits and the surrounding circumstances in which the alleged habits took place without any opposing views from a credible witness, are by themselves an affront to the sanctity of that person. This approach alone gives me the distinct impression that they are demeaning Bruce. It is the treatment and approach, not the actual discussions on the topic of Bruce's alleged drug use, which are problematic and offensive.

@@squatch545 thanks for making it out .

@@eelecurb thanks Steve very much!

@@squatch545 you know I’m not sure what he was taking.. maybe make up credits in general Ed ? He should’ve been in college or finished college by that age.. I do know that Jesse lived in Southern California before he moved to Seattle and was involved with Street gangs but eventually got out of that lifestyle and into martial arts in Seattle.

@@squatch545 thanks for bringing that up and nice to hear from you! I think you might be right actually! I have no contact with Doug that’s the thing…. I’d love to ask. But what you said about Bruce not knowing English well is totally true as we can see in his journals as things aren’t totally adding up. It must have been hard for a young 18 year old being all alone in a new country as he tried to learn the culture, language and how to read people’s characteristics as he was just getting by. Bruce was often picked on in Seattle for being Chinese and having trouble pronouncing his R’s but some ended up learning the hard way with a good Gung Fu lesson!

@@djoneforever way cool! I’ve uncovered many more new piece of Bruce Lee history on my channel and more to come… thanks for watching!
