Remembering the Master

(Bruce Lee, James Yimm Lee

and the Creation of Jeet Kune Do)

 

 

This book titled “Remembering the Master” sheds some very insightful views about the similarities of these two great martial warriors. The touching memories of their relationship is eulogized by the one’s that knew both of them best while they were together in Oakland, California during the Oakland Years (1962-1965). These lasting memories are reflected the “LETTERS OF THE PAST” chapter and features the eulogies of the family members, JKD students, friends, (many have since passed away since their eulogies were penned almost twenty years ago).

 

Also included are many of James Yimm Lee’s own personal and very private photo archives that have never been revealed to the public before now. These old and very delicate photos depict James as a child, his life growing up, his wife Katherine (co-author Greglon Yimm Lee’s Mother), before and during her marriage to James Lee, parties and family social gatherings, the children (Karena Beverly and Greglon) growing up with Bruce and Linda in their home. The artfully rendered captions and chronological layout of these treasured memories from “JIMMY’S SCRAPBOOK” will give you a real sense of the era and for the times, places, events and experiences that led up to Bruce Lee and James Yimm Lee’s timely meeting in the first place. Another chapter focuses exclusively on the students of the Oakland JKD branch that have made a reputation for themselves in the world of martial arts. Notable featured inclusions in this section are Al Novak, George Lee, Al Dacascos, Ed Parker, Dan Inosanto, Ralph Castro, Eric Lee, David Cox, Gary Cagaanan, Felix Macias, Sr., Sid Campbell, Greglon Yimm Lee, Bob Baker, Howard Williams, and many students, families and friends.
