Description
NO RULES. NO PROBLEM.
Bruce Lee remains the gold standard that all martial artists are compared to. But could he actually fight? World Champions in karate competition have gone on record to point out that he never once competed in tournaments. Were his martial abilities merely a trick of the camera?
For the first time ever, Bruce Lee authority and bestselling author John Little takes a hard look at Bruce Lee's real-life fights to definitively answer these questions with over thirty years of research that took him thousands of miles. Little has tracked down over thirty witnesses to the real fights of Bruce Lee as well as those who were present at his many sparring sessions (in which he was never defeated) against the very best martial artists in the world.
From the mean streets of Hong Kong, to challenge matches in Seattle and Oakland, to the sets of his iconic films where he was challenged repeatedly, this is the incredible real-life fighting record of the man known as the "Little Dragon," who may well have been the greatest fighter of the twentieth century.

Advance Praise
“I consider Bruce Lee to universally be the greatest martial artist that ever lived, and now ― for the first time ― John Little has documented every meaningful instance of combat that Lee was a part of. Wrath of the Dragon is fascinating from front to back. I couldn’t put it down once I started, and it is an absolute must-read for all Bruce Lee and martial arts fans around the world.” ―Scott Coker, president of Bellator MMA
“The masterful account of Bruce Lee’s fighting record that defenders of Lee have long been waiting for. Little’s attention to detail and honest depiction of both legendary and lesser-known Bruce Lee fights puts Wrath of the Dragon on the list of indispensable books on the subject. No Bruce Lee fan should miss this!” ―Alex Richter, the “Kung Fu Genius,” author, podcaster, and New York-based Wing Tsun instructor
