A genuine kung fu master who was always evolving an always humble an caring😃He introduced a new level of 'structural technology' to forever change kung fu he was way ahead of his time!!!!
Rest in peace old friend,u taught me to question everything then find out why & study it with science,select from all styles that suit me.from bursting apples in my hands,body mechanics,universal constants&cross training,u & a few others inspired a large component of that, thank u for your part in it ! many yrs would pass & ud still pick me out of a crowd,was always good to see ur face.they were great days&great times."with out thought the body is useless, when injured think more"we were right!.
I am devastated to hear of Lawrence's death! I met him at a public display in Auckland NZ, in the seventies. Having recently returned from Wellington where I had been taught by (not open to debate on this) one of the greatest masters in the world, Sifu Bill Young! When I convinced Lawrence to visit Bill on his forthcoming trip to Wellington, he returned with a deep respect for my master, and his permission to learn from Lawrence. Thus my journey began with another man who was, without argument, one of the greatest masters of all time! And...yes, knowing, and living Tong Kune Do (Lawrence stayed with my wife and me while he was in NZ) and seeing firsthand what he was capable of...yes, yes he could have beaten Bruce Lee!
As a student of Lawrence from the 80's and also taught privately in the nineties it is sad to hear of his passing. He was a good friend and teacher and will always be remembered R.I.P
Lawrence Lee knew my parents since the 70's. Watching this video right now is how I found out that he is sadly no longer with us I'm in shock Rest in peace Larry you are my family
He trained me in the 80's I still have my first-grade certificate from him. Every weekend for three years I trained under him. He was not just a martial artist but a Martial scientist. I met his father and mother many years ago!! As I recall he had a daughter named Lisa. She may have been at that party.
I used to think Lawrence was invincible. Its hard to believe that even something like cancer could beat the man. To hear that he is dead is both unbelievable and devastating at the same time.Knowing Lawrence and his hectic lifestyle he isn't resting in peace - he wouldn't want it that way! I guess he's now in the Shaolin Temple in the sky dazzling Bruce Lee with his broken rhythm-stealth-UFO martial arts techniques! Where ever you are mate, go well. And thanks for everything. Spencer
This man was the Real Deal !! It's sad to hear of his Passing ! May his flame burn Eternally through his Family and Students .. Will his Senior Instructor put any of his Complete System into training material books/dvd's for other people to learn ?
For some reason I can't reply directly, so I'll just comment again. Thanks for the info mate, Do you know the general area, or state that the school will be located?
At present we don't have any classes available but we intend to open a new school to carry on his legacy, I will post this when the we establish the new school and where it will be located, thanks.

the word Beaten I believe is more evasive, the more humble word to categorize I believe is out maneuver, which is non evasive. Peace
Thanks for uploading - i hope to see a lot of footage of Lawrence and even his top students.
I hope his art and science flourishes.
RIP Lawrence
Sad to see Lawrence gone..... He taught me privately for a while in the 80s, rest in peace mate

Lawrence was actually ill with cancer but was managing it, but unfortunately he passed away from heart failure on Monday 2/07/2012
Sad news, he taught my father years ago and I've since become very interested in Kung Fu and martial arts as a whole.
Is his gym still running?
