In this, the second installment of the Disciples of the Dragon book series, Bruce Lee historian Paul Bax presents over a decade's worth of correspondence with Jesse Glover, Bruce Lee's first student and first Assistant Instructor in America. In this rare collection of interviews, emails, and group chats from Bax's legendary online Bruce Lee Forum, Glover goes in-depth (far beyond the space constraints of mere interviews) to answer the questions that Bruce Lee fans are most interested in. In addition, Bax presents three letters, written by Glover to fellow Bruce Lee student James DeMile shortly after Lee's untimely death. The letters are in-depth and chock-full of information regarding Glover's thoughts on Bruce Lee, his training, how he came to write his popular book on Lee (Bruce Lee: Between Wing Chun and Jeet Kune Do), Glover's suspicions about Lee's death, and how Glover applied the lessons that he learned first-hand from Bruce Lee to his own training. There has never been a more comprehensive presentation of the beliefs of Jesse Glover, the man who knew Bruce Lee best during the first three years of Lee's time in America. For those seeking more knowledge on how Bruce lee evolved from his humble beginnings to become the greatest martial artist of the 20th century, this book is a veritable roadmap as to how it happened, from the man who witnessed it first-hand.
