REGARDS FROM THE DRAGON – SEATTLE
By Taky Kimura
Compiled by David Tadman

It was in Seattle, Washington, where Bruce Lee met a man by the name of Taky Kimura. Taky would not only become one of Bruce's top instructors in the Jun Fan method of Martial Arts, but he would also become Bruce's closest friend and confidant.

In this special book, you get a rare insight into the close friendship Bruce and Taky shared through their letters. These letters touched on everything from Martial Arts technique and philosophy, to Bruce's accomplishments within the world of television and film industry.

Above all, the letters in this book express the care and appreciation for a man Bruce Lee called his “best friend.” Throughout the years, Taky Kimura would take these letters out, read them and reflect on the special moments he shared with the "Little Dragon," letters that until now, have never been shown to the public.
