Ed Hart – Bruce Lee’s Second Student
Bruce Lee, Ed Hart and Jesse Glover
A short interview with Ed Hart where he talks about his experience with Bruce Lee.
Ed was Bruce Lee’s second student and started training with Bruce Lee before he started an official school in Seattle (they trained in parks and backyards), and also became a student of Bruce Lee’s Gung Fu institute.
However, he credited a lot of his development to his friend and roommate, the late Jesse Glover, who was Bruce Lee’s first student.
Mr. Hart is known to have added quite a bit of grappling material to his version of Gung Fu as he felt it was a natural extension of the Gung Fu he learned.
When asked about the system he taught his students, he was known to have said:
“It doesn’t HAVE To have a name”
and just referred to his material as “our stuff” since it wasn’t JKD, Jun Fan or Wing Chun.
The video above is a tribute video of Ed and his “stuff”.
