Year Of The Dragon – I Am Bruce Lee
Nothing much to say here. Let’s support Shannon, her family and Bruce Lee’s legacy in theaters by buying tickets!
RIP Jerry Poteet
“It is with a heavy heart that we inform you that Jerry Poteet passed away last week. Jerry was a student (Los Angeles) and personal friend of Bruce Lee. Jerry was a pillar of the JKD community and will be sorely missed. Our deepest sympathy and condolences go out to Fran and all of Jerry’s family and students.
