--------
Actor Fred "The Hammer" Williamson recalled his experiences while shooting the film 'The Man Bolt' in Hong Kong where he trained at Bruce Lee's studio. He described Bruce Lee as a master at what he did and emphasized that the distinction of Bruce Lee's martial arts teaching was in the philosophical approach rather than fighting. He pointed out that unlike in America, where belts are a symbol of progress and can be earned through payment, in Hong Kong, learning martial arts began with understanding its philosophy and mentality, notably learning not to fight. Despite his induction into various martial arts Halls of Fame, Williamson clarified that his motivation was not grounded in martial arts, but rather the life lessons and values he acquired during his training.

Bruce was not a Hollywood guy. He was forced to return to Hong Kong 🇭🇰 in 1970 (to finally make cinema movies) because racist Hollywood (after Green Hornet)barely gave him small roles and rejected him for lead roles. Facts. Even Longstreet was ultimately a dead end. 2:03
