Love this guy samurai spirit.


President Lee was a kendoka.

That goatee has really taken over his face.

Found an early vid of him demonstrating Aikido(in Japan?) He looks well composed there a solid demonstration....Then I also found a quite recent vid of him holding an seminar in Russia, there’s he is not so light on his feet but still solid performance

His early movies I found quite watchable
