What truly happened during the final hours of Bruce Lee's life? Was it really an allergic reaction, or was there a darker force at play? The episode breaks down the official findings, including the autopsy that confirmed cerebral edema—brain swelling—as the cause of death, but left the trigger for the swelling uncertain. Theories have flourished ever since, ranging from heatstroke caused by his past surgery to remove sweat glands, to suspicions about the involvement of the Triads, the Chinese mafia, or even the American mafia seeking to control his rising Hollywood career.The boys also delve into alternative theories, including a possible family curse or mysterious martial arts rivals seeking revenge. The conspiracy surrounding Bruce Lee's death remains one of the most discussed and controversial topics in pop culture history. Was it a tragic accident, or was Bruce Lee's sudden death part of a larger, hidden story?Join the boys as they revisit the incredible life and mysterious death of Bruce Lee, unraveling the facts, speculations, and wild theories that continue to capture the imagination of fans around the world. Was Bruce Lee's death really an accident, or was it something far more complex?

Lessons from 'Tao of Jeet Kun Do' by Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee, Lee Jun-Fan, was a Hong Kong-American martial artist, actor, filmmaker, and philosopher. Founder of Jeet Kune Do or 'Way of the Intercepting Fist'. He is regarded as one of the most influential martial artists. JKD is not a style but rather an eclectic expression of martial arts. Lee was adamant that JKD shouldn't be interpreted as style because he created JKD as a break away from traditional classical martial arts.

"We know we can't make it; we don't have the lifespan to know it all. But that's what makes us warriors—we still choose to walk the path, even knowing we'll never reach the end.”“The breath is the bridge—it's the control point for your body, your spirit, and your mind. Mastering it gives you the reins to navigate any challenge, on or off the mat.""One of the major speed bumps is the need to do something... the more you seek, the less you find." – Alan BakerWelcome back, today we have a truly inspiring guest—someone who has been a close friend and a powerful influence on my journey in the martial arts world. Joining me is Sifu Alan Baker. Alan is a professional martial artist, author, and tactical trainer with a deep commitment to the art, the lifestyle, and the warrior mindset.  He's a rare example of a complete martial artist, blending knowledge across styles— His expertise spans Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Wing Chun, Jeet Kune Do, Kali, Keysi Fighting Method and more, making him a dynamic instructor with an emphasis on both the art and science of combat.As the founder of the Atlanta Martial Arts Center, Alan has built a reputation for bridging traditional martial arts, self-defense, and tactical training. In addition to running his academy, Alan is the creator of the Civilian Tactical (SeaTac) Program, designed to bring practical self-defense and personal protection training to civilians. His unique approach has been sought out by law enforcement agencies, military groups, and protection specialists. Alan is not only a martial artist but a lifelong student and advocate of the warrior mindset, integrating practices like Qigong and breath control into his teachings to help individuals develop balance, resilience, and focus.My Key Takeaway is that it is always about The Journey Over the Destination: Alan emphasizes that martial arts is a lifelong journey, where every accomplishment reveals new levels to explore. He believes in keeping a beginner's mindset, continuously seeking knowledge without the need to "arrive."  We also discuss the value of creating a personalized martial arts “system” for each practitioner, built upon foundational skills but continuously evolving based on individual experiences and needs.  We dive deep into the importance of creating martial arts communities, by creating martial arts academies that are sanctuaries, and places where students can feel safe, supported, and be able to discover their true selves.  In our conversation, we explore how martial arts goes beyond physical training, becoming a bridge to personal empowerment, resilience, and even healing. Alan shares insights into what it means to live with a warrior's mindset, the importance of the breath as the ‘bridge' to balance and focus, and how he sees each practitioner's journey as one of continual adaptation and self-expression.This episode is packed with wisdom, so whether you're a seasoned martial artist or just beginning your path, get ready to be inspired. Let's jump in!

The following year, he returned to Hong Kong with his parents and grew up there. His father, Lee Hoi-chuen, was one of the four great Cantonese opera clowns in Hong Kong, while Bruce Lee is considered one of the most influential martial arts stars of all time. Lee started his career as a child star and became famous for his films such as "Way of the Dragon" and "Fist of Fury," showcasing his martial arts talent and life philosophy. In addition to making movies, he created his own martial arts style—Jeet Kune Do. "Be water, my friend" was Lee's life philosophy, emphasizing that people should not be constrained by frameworks but be confident in being themselves and adapt to environmental changes. 2. 基努·李維 (Keanu Reeves) 名言： "The simpleact of paying attention can take you a long way." （簡單的專注行為可以帶你走很遠。） 生平及事蹟： 1964年9月2日出生於黎巴嫩貝魯特的加拿大動作明星基努李維。知名電影包含《駭客任務》、《捍衛任務》、《康斯坦丁驅魔神探》等。基努李維雖然家喻戶曉的大明星，但生活模式卻相當低調，甚至經常被民眾目擊出現在公園以及地鐵，近期傳出他與交往5年的藝術家女友結婚。上述的名言傳達了基努李維做事的態度，他認為要有一番成就，最基本的事情就是保持專注，正如同他對待自己工作以及生活。 Keanu Reeves, a Canadian action star, wasborn on September 2, 1964, in Beirut, Lebanon. His notable films include "The Matrix," "John Wick," and "Constantine." Although Reeves is a well-known superstar, his lifestyle is quite low-key. He is often spotted by the public in parks and on the subway. Recently, it was reported that he married his artist girlfriend of five years. The above quote conveys Reeves' attitude towards doing things. He believes that to achieve something, the most basic thing is to stay focused, just as he treats his work and life. 3. 阿諾·施瓦辛格 (ArnoldSchwarzenegger) 名言： "Strengthdoes not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength." （力量不是來自勝利。你的奮鬥發展了你的力量。當你經歷困難並決定不屈服，這就是力量。） 生平及事蹟： 阿諾·施瓦辛格1947年7月30日出生於奧地利的塔爾。他以健美運動員身分起家，七次贏得世界男子健美運動最高殿堂「奧林匹亞先生」的頭銜。後來阿諾轉型成為演員，成為80-90年代偉大的動作明星之一。最經典的角色莫過於魔鬼終結者。除了動作明星，阿諾更進入政壇，在2003年至2011年期間擔任加利福尼亞州州長。阿諾的名言傳達了面對困境的態度，勝利不能使人成長，唯有透過不屈不撓的精神挑戰逆境，才能獲得真正的力量。 Arnold Schwarzenegger was born on July 30,1947, in Thal, Austria. He started as a bodybuilder and won the title of "Mr. Olympia," the highest honor in men's bodybuilding, seven times. Later, Schwarzenegger transitioned into an actor and became one of the great action stars of the 80s and 90s. His most iconic role was the Terminator. In addition to being an action star, Schwarzenegger entered politics and served as the Governor of California from 2003 to 2011. Schwarzenegger's famous quote conveys the attitude of facing adversity. Victory cannot make people grow; only by challenging adversity with an indomitable spirit can one gain true strength.

Chris Kent has spent decades studying and teaching JKD, and his latest book, "How to Think Like Bruce Lee," is a culmination of his life's work. But don't be fooled by the title—it's not about mimicking Bruce Lee's thoughts. Instead, it's about applying his philosophical principles to your own life.

Chris has also expanded his teachings into a YouTube channel, aptly named "Think Like Bruce Lee." The channel serves as a platform for casual yet profound conversations about JKD principles and their applications in everyday life. From purposeful movement to mental training, Chris covers a wide range of topics aimed at personal growth. "I'm making them for people who are seriously interested in their own personal growth," he notes. The episode also touches on Chris's consultancy work, where he applies JKD principles to help individuals and businesses achieve peak performance. Whether it's technical issues, curriculum design, or creating a JKD culture, Chris's consultancy aims to transmit the DNA of JKD to those who seek it. One of the highlights of the episode is Chris's recounting of his TEDx talk, where he discussed a whole new approach to learning and living, inspired by JKD principles. The talk was a testament to how Bruce Lee's philosophy can be a catalyst for personal transformation. As you listen to this episode, you'll find yourself inspired to apply these timeless principles to your own life. Whether you're a martial artist or someone seeking personal growth, the wisdom shared by Chris Kent offers valuable insights that can help you become a more effective, productive, and creative individual.

“Jeet Kune Do to me is not about the perpetuation of an art, it is about the personal cultivation of an individual.  To me Jeet Kune Do is a state of being.  It's a dynamic way of thinking and acting that encompasses the same fluid operating principles you use in dealing with opponents that you would use every day in the arena of life. I would like to see Jeet Kune Do resume its place in the Pantheon of Martial Arts.  The position that I feel it deserves to be in and it should be in.  It was designed to be a revolutionary cutting-edge martial art and philosophy that has a culture of innovation and experimentation.” – Chris KentMy guest this episode is Chris Kent, who has been deeply immersed in Bruce Lee's martial art and philosophy for five decades and is widely acknowledged as one of the world's foremost authorities on Jeet Kune Do.  He has gained international recognition for his knowledge, leadership, and contributions in perpetuating the art, training methods, and philosophy as developed by Bruce Lee.  He is regarded as one of the few individuals in the world that has total comprehension of all facets of Lee's martial art and philosophy, including what is referred to as the “styless-style.” His extensive research into the foundations of the art from a technical, philosophical, and spiritual perspective, as well as educating himself in the fields of exercise physiology, kinesiology, and human performance gives him a unique perspective to preserve and perpetuate The Art and Philosophy of Jeet Kune Do.This episode is all about the original spirit of Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do.  My key takeaway is that the physical and philosophical aspects of martial arts like Yin and Yang cannot be separated from each other.  Together they can they be utilized to obliterate our self-limiting belief systems, and give us access to connection, creation and adaptability.  We dive deep into the early cutting-edge culture and energy of JKD, which was one of exploration, innovation, and experimentation.  We also discuss dynamic teaching and training methods that were designed to free practitioners from fixed routines and lead them towards fluid operating principles that can be utilized when dealing with opponents and in the everyday arena of life.  This episode was near and dear to my heart, and Sifu Chris Kent shared the soul of Jeet Kune Do.  Tune in for another amazing episode.

“Spiritual Growth is not necessarily found on a yoga mat, in the dojo, or in a meditation room, it's found in the space between your thoughts, it's found in the space between your decisions, it's found in the still point in the transition between stimulus and response.  If I can pause and master those transitions and come to center in those moments and choose something other than what I would have done, that is functional spirituality and growth in all aspects of my life. Now I become player number one, changing the code, changing the game, changing the trajectory, because I am consciously aware of what I used to do, and I am consciously aware of what's happening, and I take a moment to pause, and I choose something different.  And that's where that growth starts to happen.”—Harinder SinghThe Fantastic Budo Brothers have stepped in this week to interview me for this episode.  For those of you who don't know I will share a little of my background.  I am a Martial Artist, Defensive Tactics Instructor, Speaker, Author and High-Performance Coach.  I teach elite audiences and organizations "How to Master Their Center and Flow in Chaos”.  I specialize in training the trainers and have had the distinct honor of working with Black Belt School Owners, Military, Special Forces, Secret Service, and SWAT Teams.  I have shared my programs with over  150 Law Enforcement Agencies, Silicon Valley Business Leaders, and Professional Athletes across the globe.  As a profession I teach Jeet Kune Do, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, Wing Chun, and the Filipino Martial Arts. I love Boxing, Wrestling and Savate and hold a Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.  I am currently a Doctoral Candidate of Chinese Energetic Medicine and was honored to be inducted into the Martial Arts Masters Hall of Fame in 2019.This episode is all about developing accurate perceptive awareness and fostering effective interactions.  My key takeaway is that martial arts teaches us so much more than punching, kicking, stabbing, and choking.  It teaches us essential skills of how to relax under pressure, slow down our perception of time, expand our awareness, read our opponents, and make conscious choices in chaos.  There is no experience that can be disassociated from your relationship to your center.  The ability to find your center, move from your center, keep your center under pressure, and recover your center after being knocked off is the key to personal and professional performance.  We dive deep into discovering how to know yourself and others, how to cultivate stillness in chaos, and the art of honestly express yourself.  We also define mastery, not as a destination but rather as the continuous change and transformation of the being.  I truly believe that martial arts are the greatest vehicle to develop our human potential, discover the cause of our ignorance, and unleash our superpowers of creativity, connectivity, and adaptability.  A big shout out to the Budo brothers for stepping in as guest interviewers and to all of you my listeners thank you for joining me on this journey.

“The biggest benefit of anything that you can do at work is if it actually impacts how you behave as a human being and it extends into your personal life.” “Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.” “Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash.

“Everyone has a gift, but not everyone seeks to find it, or has the patience to go within themselves to find it.  It's passion, what are you passionate about? What part of you gives you the drive to work hard to get good at something, no matter what it is.  We can be mediocre or we can be average, but what makes a person driven to become extra ordinary.  You are being driven to do something; we need to find that drive.  Everyone has a talent, as teachers we need to understand our students so that we can help them discover their talents and develop their confidence.”  -- James HundonMy guest this episode is Prof. James Hundon, who is the founder of Universal Martial Arts Academy and Small Circle Ju Trap Boxing.  He is a 7'th degree Black Belt in both Small Circle Jujitsu under Great Grand Master Wally Jay and Kyohuejitsumae under Soke James Mcqueen.  A lifelong student of the martial arts Prof. Hundon's extensive background also includes instructorship in Chinese Kenpo, Kodokan Jujitsu, Jeet Kune Do, and Serrada Escrima.  Prof Hundon has also been inducted into both the Masters Hall of Fame and the US. Martial Arts Hall of Fame.This episode is all about being open to exploration and the pure Joy of studying Martial Arts.  My key takeaway is that everyone has a gift, but not everyone seeks to find it.  We must look to discover what makes us passionate and how it drives us to become extraordinary.  As students we must look to find our talents, and as teachers we must guide our students towards this discovery.  The creative process of martial arts requires its practitioners to approach its study with humility and openness.  Let the love of the arts drive you forward, let great gratitude and appreciation fuel your vehicle of discovery.  We also dive deep into Prof. Hundon's unique training methods, and how he has maintained longevity, cultivated a student first mindset, and how he has mentored generations of martial artists.  This was a phenomenal episode, with one of the true OGs of the game, join us for an extraordinary conversation about the joy of living life as a martial artist.

On Episode 50 of The Film ‘89 Podcast, Skye is joined once again by professional film poster artist, Tony Stella to discuss, for its 50th anniversary, a film starring one of the true icons of cinema, Bruce Lee. That film is Enter The Dragon, Lee's first, breakout Hollywood movie and tragically his last following his death at age 32 shortly before the film's release. Bruce Lee's life, although cut tragically short, was a fascinating one that led to not only the creation of his own style of martial arts, Jeet Kune Do, but he would attain both within his lifetime and way beyond, a mythical status and is without doubt the most recognised martial artist to ever live. Even though he only made one Hollywood film, his three Hong Kong films would become some of the most successful ever made, and his lasting impact on both cinema and pop culture will likely endure for all time. So join Skye and Tony in this celebration of arguably the most important martial arts epic ever made. 

“It doesn't matter where it comes from as long as it works, and you don't know if it works unless you experiment with it.  In order to get good at everything you got to break it all up and pull it apart.  Find the common thread, that's how the styles will merge.”  -- Erik PaulsonMy guest on this episode is Erik Paulson who is an Encyclopedia of Martial Arts and the first American to win the World Light Heavyweight Shooto Championship in Japan.  He was trained by legendary instructors like Guro Dan Inosanto, Benny “The Jet” Urquidez, Gene Lebell, Yori Nakamura, Rigan Machado, Rickson Gracie, Tim Tackett, Ajarn Chai, and Billy Robinson.  He is a multi-style Black Belt and master instructor of Jeet Kune Do, Kick Boxing, Savate, Shoot Fighting, Filipino Martial Arts, Muay Thai, Boxing, Wrestling, Catch Wrestling, and a 6'th degree Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.  He is the founder of Combat Submission Wrestling and STX Kickboxing.  He runs the CSW Training Center in Fullerton, California, where he has trained MMA Fighters like Josh Barnett, Ken Shamrock, Cub Swanson, Sean Sherk, James Wilks, and Brock Lesnar.This episode is all about connection and seeking the common thread in all martial arts.  My key takeaway is that martial arts is a creative act.  We must be humble and open so that we can learn and absorb from all sources.  What we learn must be tested so that we know that we can make it work, and the only way to test it is to experiment with it.  Martial Arts is a creative process, of transforming knowledge, wisdom, to understanding.  Erik Paulson is a true genius of the game, his understanding of the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of martial arts sets him apart and allows him to mentor and guide his students toward excellence.  This is a special episode, filled with insight and old-school stories of Jeet Kune Do and the development of MMA from someone who has first-hand knowledge and experience.  Tune in for an unforgettable episode.

“As an actor, as a martial artist, as a human being, all type of knowledge, ultimately means self-knowledge. Under the sky, under the heaven, there is but one family. It just so happened, that people are different.”  Bruce Lee (李振藩) was among the first Chinese-Americans to truly bridge the gap between East and West. Born in San Francisco (1940), raised in Hong Kong, and known around the world, he's considered the most influential martial artist of all time and a pop culture icon of the 20th century. He was the founder of Jeet Kune Do, a hybrid martial arts philosophy drawing from different disciplines. Bruce Lee changed the way Chinese people were presented in American film. He taught his philosophies to many of his era's greatest actors, and his films influenced the way martial arts were seen around the world. Bruce Lee died on July 20, 1973, aged 32 - but he continues to capture the imagination of us all.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Book Vs. Movie: Dragon: The Bruce Lee StoryThe Shannon Lee Book/Memoir Vs. the 1993 Biopic Bruce Lee is one of the biggest martial artists of all time and created the style Jeet Kune Do, which caused controversy within the martial arts community. As a Chinese-American, he wanted to spread the word to anyone eager to learn and not keep secrets. He also believed in pushing himself to the limit in everything he did, which caused friction in Hollywood and Hong Kong film communities. Born Lee Jun-fan November 27, 1940, in San Francisco and raised in Hong Kong by parents who tried to keep their smart, energetic son who would get into street fights in the 1950s. After being sent back to America to get his act together, Lee became more interested in school (mainly history and philosophy) and brought his new martial arts ideas to eager Bay Area students to Seattle. After demonstrating his new brand of Kung Fu in a 1964 championship in Long Beach, California, Hollywood came calling for Lee. His early years as a child movie actor in Hong Kong came in handy with his series The Green Hornet, playing sidekick Kato. Though it only lasted one season, it helped gain a worldwide fan base. Heading back to his childhood home, Lee produced, wrote, and acted in several films that are now considered Kung Fu classics, including The Big Boss & Fists of Fury. When he passed mysteriously on July 20, 1973, he was still producing what would become his biggest film, Enter the Dragon. His death at the age of 32 by Cerebral Edema has been explored dozens of times over the last fifty years, with the latest theory being he had too much water in his system, and his kidneys could not function properly. The irony is that we are pairing the 1993 movie Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story (starring Jason Scott Lee and Lauren Holly) with Shannon Lee's 2020 book Be Water My Friend: The Teachings of Bruce Lee. One of his key philosophies was to “be like water” in dealing with all aspects of life. Linda Lee wrote her account of Lee's life in 1989's The Bruce Lee Story, co-written with her ex-husband. (We have thoughts about his later Lee books and claims!) Shannon helped produce the excellent documentary “30 For 30: Be Water” and How Bruce Lee Changed the World. So between the book and movie--which did the Margos like better?
