How did the father and founder of Jeet Kune Do die? The mystery of Bruce Lee, master of Jeet Kune Do's, death has never been solved! It is not a question of who killed the godfather of Jeet Kune Do, as in the case of Brandon Lee, Bruce Lee's son, but what killed him?

Brandon Lee himself was also well trained in Jeet Kune Do - with Brandon Lee's death, a real bullet killed him. Brandon Lee, a martial artist also skilled in Jeet Kune Do, was killed on a movie set. Evidently, there was a real bullet in one of the "fake" guns being used on the movie set - what is not known is this: where did the real bullet come from that killed Jeet Kune Do master, Brandon Lee?

(It has been suggested that both of these Jeet Kune Do master's deaths were in no way coincidental, nor even accidental. The Chinese have referred to these Jeet Kune Do masters' strange and sudden deaths as the "Lee Family Curse"!)

With Bruce Lee's death, it is still a mystery as to how he died, or rather why he died? He died while he was still heavily involved in his Jeet Kune Do training. I remember reading that the Jeet Kune Do master himself was on medication while he was experimenting with something that involved stimulating his muscles with electricity. Whatever he was experimenting with, was, I think about increasing the speed of his incredible Jeet Kune Do blows? The founder of Jeet Kune Do was into something called "kinesiology" - the study of how the muscles work in the human body! It has been suggested that the combination of his taking prescribed medications and his experiments with electricity (which were all part of his own personal Jeet Kune Do training), lay behind the true cause of his death!

Linda Lee, the Jeet Kune Do master's wife, was one of Bruce Lee's early Jeet Kune Do students - before they were married. They met in Washington while the Jeet Kune Do founder and master himself was studying at the University of Washington. Linda (then Linda Emery) was attending Garfield High School in Washington, and met Bruce Lee while he was giving a Kung Fu (not Jeet Kune Do) demonstration there. Linda later became one of Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do students, and the two were married August 17, 1964. They remained married up until the time of the Jeet Kune Do founder's death on July 20, 1973.

I also read a book once about the life of Bruce and Linda Lee, and of Bruce Lee's work with Jeet Kune Do. The book was written by Linda Lee in 1975 and was entitled, "Bruce Lee: The Man Only I Knew". The book was all about Linda's life with the Jeet Kune Do master himself, and their children Shannon and Brandon, and offered a real close look at Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do, his personal life and his film career!

Most martial artists at one time or another have become fascinated with Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do! A lot of martial artists study and practice according to Bruce Lee's own Jeet Kune Do regimen of fitness training, dieting methods, workout techniques, supplements, etc.

Jeet Kune Do is also a great way to lose weight. Maintaining a diet plan like the South Beach Diet Program, and maintaining a Jeet Kune Do style of exercise program (that involves more muscle building exercises instead of cardiovascular exercises), is a great approach to weight loss. Do your Jeet Kune Do exercise routine every several days only so as to allow your muscles time to heal and build themselves. This sort of approach to exercise burns more fat that running, jogging, biking, walking, swimming, etc... You do not have to work out hard, like in Jeet Kune Do training; you just have to work out consistently!

Continue reading on page two and check out my specific tips for eating to lose weight, eating a healthy diet, exercising, and practicing Jeet Kune Do. You should be striving to train in Jeet Kune Do and live a healthy lifestyle on many different planes of existence: emotional, mental, and especially physical?

Hi Jon, Donald Carroll here...the author! I guess I was going by information I read (or heard) as regards Bruce Lee's death from the 1970's...and, I suppose the bit I read on Brandon's death was just "bad media". Thanks for the information...as a matter of fact, I am going to edit my article on my own web site, and credit you if that is okay? Something like..."according to Jon Wo..." Thanks again for the corrections... Donald Carroll

If you had spent even 5 minutes of research or googled the subject you were trying to talk about, you would know that there is no mystery about either of the Lee's deaths. Bruce Lee had an allergic reaction to a powerful analgesic and had a cerebral edema. His brain swelled and pushed against the inside of his skull, causing damage to his brain and death. The analgesic was not legal in Europe and the U.S. exactly because it was so powerful and not well-studied. This is a matter of public record. Two autopsies and multiple doctors confirmed this. The electric muscle stimulation machine he used is still commonly used by physical therapists to help maintain muscle growth for people who are attempting to regrow muscle after an accident. Nothing mysterious about it. Brandon Lee's death is also in no way a mystery, and the bull about a "missing bullet" is hogwash. Why didn't you even bother to look this stuff up? The gun used in the "The Crow" death scene was real, and it was firing blanks- what happened was that in the previous scene the gun was loaded with prop bullets in a scene where you saw the bad guy load the gun. The bullets were real bullets but with no gunpowder inside. They had been taken apart, emptied, and then glued back together, so they would look real on camera but never be able to actually fire. The bullets were then taken out by the gun master on set and the blanks put in. What he failed to do was check to see if all the prop bullets were there and intact. One of the metal tips off the real bullets had come unglued and was still in the chamber when the blank was pushed in behind it. Again, the prop master should have visually checked inside every chamber before adding the blanks. With the metal of a real bullet and the gun powder of a real bullet, when it was fired during filming the blank's gun powder propelled the bullet tip out and into Lee, killing him. It was gross negligence caused by the studio hiring a non-union weapons master and crew to save money, and it killed Lee. The bullet didn't "disappear", it was found inside Lee, and the remains of the blanks were found inside the gun, and the bottom half of the prop bullet was found with the prop master. When you spread this nonsense you keep other people spreading it as well. Next time do some research before you right.
