Gangs ruled the city streets and Lee was often forced to fight them.

Followed by Fist of Fury and Way of the Dragon where he was given complete control of the film's production as the writer, director, star, and choreographer of the fight scenes. * In 1964 Lee had met Karate champion Chuck Norris. * In the movie Way of the Dragon He introduced Norris as his opponent in the final death fight.

    Lee started his criminal escapades at a young age. He had a low IQ and found that school was difficult. Lee found interest in other things. He was caught peeping into the windows of his neighbors. It was reported that he tortured neighborhood animals, was fascinated with fire, and wet his bed; these are all characteristics of a serial killer (Layman, Gumm, and Henriques & Hodges). At thirteen, Lee was arrested for simple burglary, but it was not until he was sixteen that he really found trouble. Lee pulled a knife during a fight and was charged with attempted second-degree murder. At seventeen he was arrested for his voyeurism, which was something that would extend well into his adult life. Somehow he managed to…

    I remember walking into the weight room, smelling the humid, putrid air and seeing the sweat-stained floor and thinking to myself, “I give up.” I looked at my partners Garret Austin and Jonathon Rentz, and instantly discerned from the worried looks on their faces that they had thought the same exact thing. We proceeded to our work stations, dread filling us with each step towards the tall workout station. The wet, metal, ring-shaped weights as well as the still soaked workout bench stood out in my weary mind and with them alarm bells rang in my head and thoughts buzzed around, trying to guess which workout would come first. Some part of me had hope that maybe JC Charles would take it easy on us, but the founder and owner of Elite Fitness Performance was not known for his mercy and that thought was quickly squandered. Garret turned slowly towards me, as if moving through molasses, and despaired, “Are we only doing groups of…
