His first martial studio, “Jun Fan Gung Fu Institute”, was at 4157 Broadway⁠. ⁠ ⁠ Charlie Russo, author of "Striking Distance: Bruce Lee and the Dawn of Martial Arts in America" said this about Lee's connection to the city:⁠ “There’s no doubt that whatever contributions Bruce had to MMA originated out of Oakland as a result of his experiences here.” ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ 💬Comment “email” to sign up to our daily newsletter.⁠ ⁠ 📰Follow us for the latest Asian News NextShark⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #news #brucelee #oakland #bruceleeway #broadwaygarret #intersection
