The wonderful thing about Bruce
Lee was that he trained anybody he felt was worth training,

regardless of color, race, or gender.

Some Chinese officials had warned him against training Blacks and Whites, but he basically, in his own way, flipped them off and told them what

to go do with themselves. He was a great admirer of Muhammad Ali, especially his fighting style. When a reporter once asked Lee if he could take Ali in a fight,

Lee said that Ali could easily beat him strength for

strength and that he would never challenge

Ali in the ring out of respect and for his own health (Lol).

In fact, if you look at Jeet Kun Do, Lee’s original style that he crafted himself, check out the footwork – he got that from Ali’s famous foot shuffle.
