35 years after the death of Bruce Lee, Fighters Inc are ensuring that the legend of ‘The Little Dragon’ will burn brighter than ever, as they bring the unique Bruce Lee Zone to Seni08, featuring the first ever Bruce Lee Museum as its centre-piece and personal appearances by such Lee luminaries as Shannon, his daughter, Bob Wall, the villain in three Bruce Lee movies and Richard Bustillo, a personal student of ‘The Little Dragon.’

Bruce Lee
By the time of his death, in 1973, Bruce Lee had made only six films but he was already an iconic figure in pop culture alongside Elvis Presley, James Dean and Marilyn Monroe. This diminutive Chinese actor, with his lightning fast reflexes, jumped and kicked his way through hordes of villains with a style that was to change the face of action cinema forever. When ‘Enter the Dragon’ became a blockbuster worldwide, Lee was already dead but his tour de force performance and unparalleled fight sequences paved the way for a new wave of Asian stars. Without Bruce, there would have been no Jackie Chan, Jet Li or Tony Jaa.

The Bruce Lee Museum
The unique Bruce Lee Museum will be the centrepiece of a brand new zone dedicated to ‘The Little Dragon’. Alongside fascinating rare artefacts, photographs and letters, items never before seen in the UK, there will be personal appearances and Q & A’s with leading figures in Bruce Lee’s life..

Richard Bustillo is one of Bruce Lee’s original students of Jeet Kune Do and is known as ‘The Iron Dragon’ in the JKD World. Sifu Bustillo founded and runs the IMB Academy and holds a guru title in Doce Pares Escrima, a Kru title in Muay Thai and is a USA Olympic Boxing Coach. Train with a JKD Legend at Seni by booking up for Sifu Bustillo’s seminar. (see seminar page for details)

Shannon Lee is the daughter of Bruce and his widow, Linda and her brother was the late actor Brandon. She followed him and her father into acting in the 1990’s before dedicating her time to preserving and honouring her father’s memory through her tireless and on-going development of The Bruce Lee Foundation, with whom Seni are working to bring fans this unique museum.

Get closer to ‘The Little Dragon’ than ever before with this living, inter-active and unique testament to Bruce Lee’s enduring popularity, only at Seni08.
