Speaking of Bruce Lee's great success in martial arts, we can't help mentioning Yan Jinghai Lee. As one of Bruce Lee's famous disciples, Yan Jinghai Lee, whose Chinese name is Yan Jinghai, played the most important role among the disciples who helped Bruce Lee to establish Jeet Kune Do.

1920 was born in Yan Jinghai, Oakland, California, USA. I "first met" Bruce Lee, and I didn't get to know Bruce Lee until I heard in a community hall that my younger brother, who was studying dance with Bruce Lee at that time, praised Bruce Lee for being agile beyond "teaching dance". However, the relationship between the two had to be postponed until three years later. It was not until Bruce Lee's first "Fan Zhenguo Guan Shu" became bigger and bigger and became more and more famous that it once again attracted the attention of Yan Jinghai in the distance. At that time, Yan Jinghai was a famous American martial artist in China, and it was inconvenient for him to visit in person, so he entrusted his good friend Allen Joe to take the opportunity of attending the World Expo in Seattle to learn about the real situation in Bruce Lee. When Allen Joe came back from Seattle, his description of Bruce Lee's skill was much more exaggerated than his brother's, because Bruce Lee has really improved a lot in the past two years, and with taky kimura as a teaching assistant, he can spare more time to improve his martial arts. Given Allen Joe's skill and experience, his evaluation is naturally unusual. With a grain of salt, Yan Jinghai had to go to Seattle to meet the legendary young master himself.

It can be said that since Bruce Lee and Yan Jinghai met, Bruce Lee's life has turned an extraordinary page. Because although Yan Jinghai appreciated Bruce Lee's overbearing and advanced martial arts concept, he condescended to join Bruce Lee's door; But at the same time, he also taught Bruce Lee the martial arts that he was good at, and helped Bruce Lee to perfect the original kung fu system. Through Yan Jinghai's introduction, Bruce Lee also got to know top figures in martial arts, such as Ed Parker, the father of American karate, and Jean Lebel, the father of American judo. Besides, Yan Jinghai used to be a weightlifter, so his muscles are very developed. He also improved his weightlifting skills into fitness methods and taught them to Bruce Lee without reservation. Bruce Lee, on the other hand, is a treasure, constantly practicing hard according to law, making his already strong muscles more developed, stronger in resistance, stronger in endurance and more explosive. Therefore, without Yan Jinghai, it is impossible to have Bruce Lee's strong skill and steely body. Bruce Lee's muscular body and amazing explosive power itself represent a great strength and momentum. Therefore, Bruce Lee can conquer the world. For example, Bruce Lee's Iron Sand Palm, which is often performed in public, came directly from Yan Jinghai, which enhanced Bruce Lee's close combat ability.

Yan Jinghai's greatest contribution is to assist Bruce Lee to establish a new "National Salvation Art Museum" in Auckland. Because Bruce Lee thinks Seattle is a conservative place, usually everything is slower than other places, and moving to California is to establish a new image and seek new development in new places. Because Yan Jinghai was a senior welder in the army in his early years, he has been engaged in this work in recent years. He has made many exquisite and practical training equipment for Bruce Lee with superb welding technology, which makes Bruce Lee's training easy and easy, and get twice the result with half the effort. At the same time, Yan Jinghai was very lucky to get Bruce Lee's personal guidance and became his right-hand man in teaching. Their close cooperation continued until Bruce Lee left Oakland.

As one of Bruce Lee's most promising disciples, Yan Jinghai died of illness in 1972, which is no less bad news for Bruce Lee than the death of his teacher. Because before, the loyal Yan Jinghai once got a job for Bruce Lee wholeheartedly, and spared no expense to help Bruce Lee build his career, and even accepted the challenge several times. Even Bruce Lee's wedding ring and married residence were arranged for him. How can Bruce Lee forget to know heroes and pay attention to their kindness? According to Ed Parker, a famous karate master, "The Long Beach Karate Competition is a turning point in Bruce Lee's life. He was able to get a performance opportunity in this competition because of Yan Jinghai's efforts."

It is puzzling or incomprehensible that Bruce Lee didn't attend Yan Jinghai's funeral in person, and he knew the date of Yan Jinghai's funeral completely. Bruce Lee disappeared when his teacher IP Man died. Some far-fetched reasons can be found, but I really don't know where to start when he was absent from Yan Jinghai's funeral. But in any case, Yan Jinghai was one of Bruce Lee's most effective and trusted disciples. His book You Chungong was published by Bruce Lee after he learned that his family was poor, and gave way to You Chungong, a painstaking work. Many disciples in Bruce Lee can testify to this. In addition, fortunately, Yan Jinghai's son Grilongo Lee inherited his father's unfinished business and became an important member of the "Jeet Kune Do Core in Fan Zhen", which is really admirable and respectable.
