Now I'm under the impression that the sole reason Bleecker decided to marry Linda was to make a name for himself as a Bruce Lee writer. He needed to do something extraordinary to secure his place in the Bruce Lee fandom and the martial arts community in general. And there was nothing more outrageous than being bold enough to marry Linda.
For some time now, I have noticed a campaign to demoralize Bruce Lee's image in the media in general. Of course, none of this even tarnishes his image in the eyes of scholars of his life and true fans around the world who clearly understand who Bruce Lee was and understand that he was not a perfect and flawless superman. On the contrary, what attracted people to Bruce Lee was precisely his perseverance in the fight against prejudice because he was of Asian origin and also his personal battle against his own limitations, directing his mental and physical energy through hard work to achieve his goals. People like Tom Bleecker are like many others who fortunately crossed paths with Bruce Lee at some point in their lives. And Bleecker claims to have been friends with him for six years... I think that is unlikely. And because they are frustrated and unresolved professionally, they do everything they can to take advantage of these brief encounters with Lee to enhance impressions or judgments that they believe they have the authority to make. These will never be able to reach the status that Lee achieved in his meteoric years of life as an actor in martial arts films and as an authentic, revolutionary and innovative martial artist. For over a century, the Little Dragon has still been remembered and respected by the most famous martial artists in the field, who treat him as the greatest reference and this is not for everyone. Even those who hate Bruce Lee and envy his success cannot get him out of their minds, there is no way to ignore him, he will always be there bothering them, but some still try to earn some money or attention by disguising their hatred against him. From the moment he was rejected by Linda Lee, after two years of marriage (1988-1990), Bleecker, still not happy, decided to take revenge in the worst possible way, revealing Bruce Lee's private details and alleged personal problems that Bruce Lee's widow had naively confided in him, and also claiming to have documentary evidence to support his allegations and defamations in a controversial book released in 1996. Bruce's fans are not naive or stupid, they know very well how to identify an opportunist and a liar, as is the case with the loudmouth Tom Bleecker. And the worst thing is that Bruce Lee is no longer among us to defend himself. It would be interesting if he faced Bleecker, wouldn't it?!? Be patient...
@@TheKungFuGenius Thank you. Regarding the campaign, there are controversies, perhaps not against Bruce Lee as a person, but what he represents. But that is another matter. See you later!
To be fair MOST divorce is the wo-MAN'S decision. They are spoiled & hard to please not to mention menopausal. Agree with the rest of your post, however.
I think youre right about this smear Bruce going on as if it's a top priority and I'd say the reason would be to divide and concor as usual because what really manifests when thinking about Bruce is a non racist, non sexist, hero type that see the corrupt bullies in the world beats their asses righting all the wrongs etc the NWO don't want us rising up against any evil esp since they're so close to enslaving us in a permanent trap.
I liked your point the other day that if Linda told everything about Bruce to Tom how was there nothing in his book about the drug use we all have plenty of evidence for now. That in and of itself is a huge red flag.
Yeah, I made a small criticism of his book on Stripey's page and he gave me a very angry challenging response. I had a 1st edition when it came out. Several years ago I saw that it was selling for a lot of money on Amazon, so I sold my copy. Enjoy your videos Alex. We are very much on the same page here. Keep up the good work.
@@Jimquivious I was referring to Mr. Bleecker making an angry and challenging response to my comment on Stripey's video. Stripey is a class act and runs a terrific channel.
I have that book unsettled matters read it years ago everything in it I took with a pinch of salt and your correct where is his proof .all the best Pete
Thank you! To be fair, there are a couple general and specific things he got right (Bob Baker being the mule and all) in his book, but it’s the stuff that he wants you to believe without evidence that’s problematic.
Bleecker's the opposite of Beerdy!! BOTH we should take with lite grain of 🧂!! It Evaporates as soon as light showers are available!! Forget the ⛈️ storms their words aren't THAT important 👎
I appreciate the support! as big part of why I’m goading him in these videos is because I do want to see what he has. Maybe some of the stuff he says is true, but his inability to defend it with hard stuff lends one to believe it’s probably not true. I’m willing to be totally wrong on him so the ball is in his court!
I actively used to speak to Tom about Bruce Lee. I did ask if he had any photos of the two of them together; he said he felt they were private and did not want to share them with the public. My feeling is that he had none to share. He made his career talking and writing about Lee. Sad.
"were private and did not want to share them with the public"......so-like-BL-footage-collectors,at-least-I-can-proof-Ive-got-rare-stuff-as-a-collector,which-is-more-than-can-be-said-about-those-"emptycalories"-collectors-that-wont-show-their-supposed-treasures
Wow, thank you! But now you just gave Tom fuel to say that I’m only doing this for the Benjamins… Or the Lincolns lol. Seriously though, this is much appreciated !
@eddietours3728 well, if he responds to this video with actual evidence, there may be new understanding. If he decides to respond by just calling me names with accusations, then he’s already lost.
Yes, and much like his shoddy detective work, he basically gave away in the email that he was going to accuse me of only making the video series because I was upset he wouldn’t do my podcast. And then he said he would do a response… At some point. So he basically just asking me to respond first.
Thank you! I think the ironic part of this video (and Tom‘s “response”) is that this video was made before his video response in which he literally did everything I said he was gonna do in this video. I’ve been told by some people who communicate with him that he refuses to actually watch the videos and has to be fed by other people what the points were.
@@TheKungFuGeniusNo problem, I truly appreciate your dedication to Martial Arts and keeping Bruce Lee's legacy alive. I was surprised Bleeker responded to you. l agree, I do not think he will respond now. That pathetic response he gave was an attempt to save face. I have a friendly suggestion, do you want to analyse Bruce Lee's fights and illustrate to the audience how his techniques were practical in real life situations. I made a video of a boxer named Maidana who copied Bruce Lee unintentionally and it paid it's dividends. Jon Jones is a fighter who consciously copied Bruce Lee, watch a few of his fight and you will see. I remember hearing Teofimo Lopez (Former Unified Champion) mention something about the "pyramid", him and his Dad are massive admirers of Bruce Lee. They said they got the "pyramid" from Bruce Lee. They were very secretive about in an interview, but Teofimo made it known that Bruce Lee inspired them. He didn't delve to deeply into what that meant by the pyrmaid, do you have any idea what it is?
True story-although, since I have no hard evidence, it's technically hearsay, wink-wink-but back in the late '90s I got an actor friend of mine into Bruce. He's lives in the Bay Area and is a fight director and fencer, so when I pointed out the JKD/fencing connection he was so intrigued he ended up contacting and taking classes with Howard Williams, maybe the best fighter from Lee's Oakland school. During that time I ordered and read Unsettled Matters, thought it was an absolute hoot, and gave it to my friend to read. He had the same reaction and mentioned the book to Howard who ended up taking it home. Next class, my friend asked him if he'd read it and how accurate he thought it was and was basically told, "Well, I actually thought about looking up where Mr. Bleeker lives…so I could knock on his door and, y'know, TALK to him…but I decided against it because I was afraid I might KILL 'em." He went on to say how when he was doing some seminars in Scotland and was challenged by a dude who really got on his nerves, a storm or something prevented him from getting to the location where they agreed to have it out. He said he took that, and his decision to not "have words" with Tom, as God looking out for and testing him when it came to exercising his ability to hurt people. So, yeah, the good or bad thing about video rebuttals, depending on your point of view, is nobody gets punched, lol. Finally and funnily enough, I posted this story once before in the comment section of some random Lee video and guess who took the time to critique it? But, hey, more power to someone who watchdogs their name so scrupulously on the internet-RUFF-RUFF!
His main argument is "I have proof, the people who gave it to me authorized me to use it but made me swear not to show it". If that's not convenient I don't know what that is. Anyway, he censors most of the comments disagreeing with him, no matter how polite.
Yeah, that’s why I haven’t bothered with the response. His response wasn’t much of a response to what I said, and he clearly didn’t watch my video in which I said he would do exactly what he ended up doing.
Sifu, Any great debater would welcome your challenge with energized enthusiasm!! Like Breedy, Bleecker's stories seems exaggerating over inflating the narrative What with these Bee Bee FOOLS?? 1 Cheers 👍Above ALL 👍 & The other 👎JEERS 👎Below ALL!! Then there's those who treat Bruce like he was a normal human being. That's just the way he wants to be remembered 🙏
I salute you sir, you pointed out the faults in his work and offered him to come on and defend his side of the story and he turned you down. You can do no more. Keep up the good work.
Tom simply can't handle the truth getting out. Sad he has to resort to childish insults and name calling. All he can do is deflect and sidestep the issue. At his age he still needs to grow the hell up
"All he can do is deflect and sidestep"......many-autograph-forgers-do-similar,they-bs&brag,but-its-all-hot-air.......MyronRoss-scammed-people-30yrs,RestinPiss,Myron!
Well at least you can’t be accused of not being transparent in this situation. Hopefully Tom is going to respond with some facts and logic. Do we really think he is sitting on some genuine undiscovered Bruce Lee history? I think he is likely gonna react and come back with further criticisms so try not to bite back - ideally you’ll share a conversation based on trust and just thrash it out - that’s where the real nuggets of interest will be revealed.
Thank you for your comment! Getting him to reveal some real information or evidence would be a huge positive development. The problem is that people have tried for years and he just gets upset about people even questioning his motives. I suspect we will see nothing. Which would mean he is admitting defeat. If he makes it personal, comes after me with attacks and ignores the calls for evidence, the he is continuing what he’s done in the past and nothing has changed. The ball is in his court.
I used to watch Tom's videos before feeling something was off with him the final nail was when he posted a video from his wedding to linda like he was crying out for recognition I was there belive what I say do not question me type great response Alex 😊
Great response Alex! Dre is not effeminate he respectful Wing chin Student. Bleeker’s book book requires validation indeed. Seems to be a hater in disguise, and no one dies from smoking weed.
After all is said and done... BRUCE LEE is still physically dead... Yet still completely... INSPIRATIONALLY ALIVE...IN THE HEARTS & MINDS OF MILLIONS WORLD OVER... And remember...there is a lesson to be learned by the way Bruce Lee lived...and the private circumstances surrounding his death...Both aspects are Self Defense Lessons in Martial Arts & Life... Bruce Lee is so very much missed on Earth 😢... May GOD rest my and our hero Bruce Lee in peace...♥️
Interesting 😊. You did great dissecting his book. It makes alot of sense. And I have seen his video on Bruce awhile ago And had my doubts on his social media info about BL.
Power cool 💯1:36 “Putting food on the table!” 😂❤”Oh no, he found out about the several dollars! Dude, the guy owns a gym or whatever, he’s a teacher guy.” Wow man. Talk about projection. 🤢🤙🏻💯
Guys, Forget about the semi-tabloid book by Mr. Bleeker and wait for my AI assisted and AI inspired book that I have been working on about Betty Ting Pei and Bruce Lee. Its title is Enter My Dragon. It will have AI generated photos such as the one with Betty and Lee inside her apartment sipping tea. Here's an excerpt from the book: Betty Ting Pei, finally, in 1976, was able to find strength to bring herself to watch Enter The Dragon for the first time, almost 3 years after Lee's death. In the very first scene, the camera zoomed in on Lee's face as he entered a warrior pose, the on-guard position. When asked what she was thinking at that moment, Betty replied, "A lot of Bruce's fans saw a great fighter, one with tremendous power and speed, flexibility and endurance, almost superhuman. But what they didn't realize is they are seeing a very sick man on a movie screen.""
KFG, so all those fans who thought the Tyson/Paul fight would be real must be disappointed. I was not. The first clue would be the gigantic gloves, followed by two-minute rounds. Mike was told not to follow up with combinations. Look at the videos of Mike hitting the pads so explosively. Did he forget how to do it in the ring? I don't buy it as a real fight, and many others don't either. Mike took the money. I mean how much money can Mike make from selling pot, lol. "And every day I practice martial arts." Love the introduction. Ooooos!
Good job Sifu, Mr. Bleecker knows that controversy sells. The truth has nothing to do with selling. We all desired to make a good living, and if we get attention, it’s just gravy for the bottom line.
Hey Alex! I noticed you brought up the Winstrol possibility which we both were discussing earlier, I can't believe you officially made me a part of the Bruce Lee Universe 😳🤗.. Im so happy that I myself will proudly giggle like a little girl and I'm a 41 year old man 🤔. Anyway, thank you for bringing that up especially to Tom Bleeker. I hope you two one day can have a intelligent decent peaceful discussion face to face on your podcast at your home. Who knows, maybe Tom has some medical records evidence that he keeps to himself for perhaps legal reasons or due to a promise that he made to his ex wife, Linda Lee 🤷🏻♂️, evidence he may show you in person. Nothing against you or him, may the facts prevail, however if you two ever get together it would be nice at the end of the podcast to see the both of you shake hands 🤝 and even hug one another. We already have politicians acting like poopi pants to eachother so let's show the world a better example 😁👍..
Thank you for your comment. As a Bruce Lee fan I just want to get at the truth, warts and all. But making up warts for the sake of sensationalism is not research. If he has evidence on his claims and it’s real evidence, then I’m happy because it means I learn something. As far as being buddies with him, having seen how he interacts with people online, including on his Facebook, I can tell he’s not the kind of person I would prefer to have at my dinner table. I’ve also been “warned” by people who have questioned his evidence that he likes to go and try to dox them or find private or personal info out on them because he seems to want to do everything but actually take responsibility for his claims. If he can attack people who question his motives, then he can push the problems of his claims into the background.
Hi again, I definitely am not saying Tom is an easy person to deal with, maybe that was part of the reason for their divorce, who knows what trauma he went through in his years that made him less then his true potential. My point is, don't take it too seriously :).. we all have someone in our family that is a bit of a "pooper" and we still love them deep down in our core. I think we can both agree on one of Lee's quotes, "under the sky, under the heavens there is but one family. It just so happens that people are different." :)... Maybe Bruce is smiling at the both of you and wondering, am I really that interesting?
Great debate .the problem we have ..is we whernt there .and no matter who talks about bruce from back when he was alive and knew him wether linda etc we have to take as truth as said we where not there .and can only be our own opion at end of day .no amount reseach etc or seconed hand interviews from people who knew him and we take as truth .great topic look forward to update in future videos
Thank you for commenting! Yes, you are right about the struggles of history when there is presumably only hearsay. However, Bruce Lee is someone who has lived in contemporary history where records both actual and hypothetical do exist. For example, if someone were to have leveled the cocaine allegations before the drug letters came out, we would say there was no evidence. But when 50 letters written to Bob Baker were released now we have hard evidence. Hard evidence should be available on some of these accusations. The problem is when you don’t have hard evidence, the respectable thing is to admit it, or to not make the allegation to begin with. The burden of proof rests on the person making the claim, and when you make a claim, it’s your burden to substantiate it not the other way around. Thanks again for commenting.
My apology for having you wrong. Thanks for defending Bruce/truth as you see it. Why does Tom Bleecker remind me of Dr. Drew Pinsky? There's some truth to what he says BUT it does seem he has an ax to grind.
Thanks for your comment. I don’t think Tom has the mental chops of Dr. Drew. He does get some stuff correct, but it’s often the benign stuff that everyone knows. It’s his accusations that are leveled without any evidence that he’s incredibly thin skinned on when confronted about.
Ask Bleecker does Dan Inosanto ( The Living Father of Jeet Kune Do & fellow student of Kenpo Karate 😒) knows him or of him ( I wouldn't bet a SURE BET Against The Raiders in Vegas that he does know him ( In Pro 🏈 that's the easiest Bet in ALL SPORTS 🤚✋️down)
Years (decades?) ago I had the opportunity to converse with Mr. Bleecker on a Bruce Lee forum. To his credit Mr. Bleecker was nothing but polite in his responses to my questions & comments. But ... like you, I mentioned that I didn't see any actual evidence that Bruce had used anabolic steroids in Tom's book (I recall mentioning that photos of Bruce shirtless on the set of Game Death and/or during the filming of GOD didn't support Tom's claims that Bruce didn't have his famous physique at that time), Tom's response was basically that he had seen medical records that did prove it but he couldn't publicly share those records (or words to that effect, it's been a long while). Which, to me, in hindsight, leaves me feeling a little like an atheist being asked by a theist to prove there is no god. Sorry, you're making the claim, I'm just asking for verifiable evidence to support your claim before I'll accept it as fact! Maybe there's a god, maybe there's a Bigfoot, & maybe Bruce Lee used anabolic steroids, but I still haven't seen any credible evidence supporting any of those claims!
I had a similar message LOL with regard to the last part ,. RE: he was a close friend, ok.... i doubt that more like an acquaintance, any photos of you and your close friend FFS HA! nope
I do believe that Bleecker probably has more insider information due to his personal ties with Bruce Lee and his family. But I agree, he needs to provide receipts, especially when writing a book to debunk the "super hero" facade of Bruce Lee. Unless we have receipts, we cannot accept these claims. Additionally, I don't buy the "off-steroids" argument to explain why Bruce Lee wore a tracksuit. We need to establish Bruce first used steroids (which is still likely) then provide the evidence Bruce Lee wore a tracksuit because he had an "off-season" physique. Bruce Lee filmed GOD between August and October 1972. There are behind the scenes photos of Bruce Lee and Dan Inosanto sparring outside, where Bruce wasn't wearing a shirt. His physique was lean and muscular just like in WOTD or ETD. As for the tracksuit, Linda Lee already explained it, "You need not be dressed in a traditional uniform to be an effective fighter."
But so far anytime he’s “provided evidence“ by email to other Bruce Lee experts, it’s always documents that most of us already have. Most of us nerds have most of the medical records and inquest documents, and Tom has never provided more than that as any evidence of anything. The problem is we’ve already seen it. We’re waiting for the stuff he claims to have.
"Close friend"? I wouldn't even have believed it if he had said that th😊ey were enemies, because to Bruce, someone like bleecker is just a waste of even a nanosecond of his time.
I would lovvvve to see Tom call Dre effeminate to his face!! So what we have here is a grown ass man having a temper tantrum response...says a lot about him emotionally. OBVIOUSLY, he follows your episodes, btw the "Alex Rectum" was hilarious!! Peace Bro!!
Sifu, can't let those who tries to trouse Bruce's lifetime & accomplishes!! What I'm about to address IS NOT towards ALL Euro American men!! I speak in history of those men who undermined Lee's contributions because he's NOT Caucasian!! From Quentin Tarantino to Bleecker to Joe Lewis ( Big time Hater 😠) to James Coburn & Steve McQueen!! NOBODY ( short family or friend) talks about those fading ⭐️ anymore!! No even Elvis Presley is mentioned nowadays!! He puts on a Karate 🥋 & he's a martial arts Grandmaster ( So he thought 😅)🤔 he could 👀 his 🦶 looking straight down? With a GIRTH that rivals ANY 🎅 there ever WAS ,IS Or WILL BE Highly Unlikely!! Nearly 60 years after his passing, Bruce's memories are still revenant!!
I remember years ago on the forums there were rumours going around about this guy, apparently he got caught going through the airport security wearing a metal chastity device. Absolutely hilarious to imagine even if it's likely made up 😂
Someone should marry one of his former wives and write a tell all book about his obsessive use of chastity belts. According to Tom’s logic, we shouldn’t be allowed to refute that person‘s writing or motivation!
@@TheKungFuGenius bahahahaha 😂 he'll be raging now worse than when he went full Barbra Streisand on the forums claiming it was a 'belt buckle' and turned himself into the ironcuk meme 🤣🤣
Well put and intelligent response. I have never read the books but I have watched his UA-cam posts, so I found all 3 of your podcasts very interesting and informative.
The problem with Tom's book is the sensationalism without proof (you have nailed it). Typical tabloid stuff, phenomena from the 80s/90s. I remember reading his book many years ago, and the thing that struck me at that time was the sense that he clearly disliked Bruce Lee. Ok, I can somehow understand that-Bruce was not the most pleasant person to be around. But I just felt that something was wrong with his story-it was like he was getting back at Linda for something that happened between them. Tom was bullied at school when he was a teenager, and that's a trauma that never heals. I think he sees Bruce Lee as some kind of a bully (he is not wrong, thought), and he must get his revenge on him. Greeting from Sweden
Great comment. I think this is one of the nuances that is missed by some defenders of Tom. I’m not saying Bruce was a saint, or that he didn’t have his own issues, or that he wasn’t clearly doing things that don’t look great. But none of that means that saying bad things about Bruce are automatically true. Also, it’s clear that Tom does not like Bruce. But all of that would be fine if everything he put in his book was true. I would be the first to admit that even if Tom absolutely hated Bruce, if what he wrote in his book was factually accurate then it is factually accurate. It doesn’t matter who says the facts, it only matters if they’re true or not. But the problem with Tom is we have both someone who doesn’t like Bruce Lee and is seemingly making stuff up.
Hey KFG, Tom Bleecker just posted a video about you on his UA-cam channel. He's Saying your lying about him and you are out get him because he didn't want to appear on your podcast?
I heard, but today’s my birthday and I’m spending time with my family so watching that video will have to wait. I heard that he just made it personal and claimed my response was because he wasn’t on my podcast… Just like I said he would say in this video before his video came out. Funny how that works. To make it clear, this video came out before his, and I already said he was going to say that. I even granted it to him. But still… Where is the evidence on the steroids, diuretics, and Cortizone? I don’t know what I’m lying about, I’m literally just asking for claims of evidence. He doesn’t like to be questioned. His emotional response to being asked for evidence is not my problem.
I heard, but today’s my birthday and I’m spending time with my family so it’ll just have to wait. I heard he just went for name-calling and ignored the calls to see evidence. Not surprising.
Poor Tom his you know what never measured up against Bruce and it drove him crazy. Oh and by the way Tom I have kept a light on for you, but you never showed up. All blow no show!
@@TheKungFuGenius He got mad about a post or meme I made on Facebook. And he told me to keep a light on for him. He never showed up. He also did a half-ass investigation on me and he has done the same thing to others he had some kind of beef with. As I said I think trying to measure up to Bruce drove him crazy.
I started playing around back in 1984. Granted I only met a few people who knew Bruce well. As for the 7 years I trained with James Demile and seminars with Jessie Glover, Dan Inosanto, and Steve Golden never heard of Tom.
Totally unrelated to this topic have you ever considered doing episodes with high level instructors from other martial art Okinawa karate guys or other form's of kung fu I'm sure that would definitely be an interesting exchange and broaden your audience a bit
Thank you for those kind words! I doubt he will make another video, he’s very reluctant on this topic, but I think he had to pretend like he said something one time (when he didn’t say anything).
@@TheKungFuGenius No problem, I truly appreciate your dedication to Martial Arts and keeping Bruce Lee's legacy alive. I was surprised Bleeker responded to you. l agree, I do not think he will respond now. That pathetic response he gave was an attempt to save face.

Interesting that he keeps gaslighting you and avoiding your questions and can't back up any claims that he made in his printed book. If he has evidence about what he claimed in his book bring it here.
Thank you! People have been trying for years but I figured I’d make one final and public attempt to see if there was anything behind his claims. It seems like he’s just a thin-skinned liar who wrote an untruthful book. We tried!
It’s clear to me from that e-mail alone that Tom B. thinks he’s better than everyone else, and can’t take any honest criticism: typical narcissistic behavior.
I thought perhaps he would respond. I have read that he can be quite rude when questioned. Let's hope he shares all the stuffs 😂 he claims as facts. You gave a great response Sifu.
For those of you who asked - I responded in the community section to Bleecker's non-response: www.youtube.com/@TheKungFuGenius/community
LOL when you said Alex rectum.
Thank you for sharing.
If Tom was really a friend call Bruce Lee he would not have married his wife.
Now I'm under the impression that the sole reason Bleecker decided to marry Linda was to make a name for himself as a Bruce Lee writer. He needed to do something extraordinary to secure his place in the Bruce Lee fandom and the martial arts community in general. And there was nothing more outrageous than being bold enough to marry Linda.
My response to his non-response: www.youtube.com/@TheKungFuGenius/community
Whao never knew this, that beeckler guy seems a right f**king w**ker 👍
For some time now, I have noticed a campaign to demoralize Bruce Lee's image in the media in general. Of course, none of this even tarnishes his image in the eyes of scholars of his life and true fans around the world who clearly understand who Bruce Lee was and understand that he was not a perfect and flawless superman. On the contrary, what attracted people to Bruce Lee was precisely his perseverance in the fight against prejudice because he was of Asian origin and also his personal battle against his own limitations, directing his mental and physical energy through hard work to achieve his goals. People like Tom Bleecker are like many others who fortunately crossed paths with Bruce Lee at some point in their lives. And Bleecker claims to have been friends with him for six years... I think that is unlikely. And because they are frustrated and unresolved professionally, they do everything they can to take advantage of these brief encounters with Lee to enhance impressions or judgments that they believe they have the authority to make. These will never be able to reach the status that Lee achieved in his meteoric years of life as an actor in martial arts films and as an authentic, revolutionary and innovative martial artist.
For over a century, the Little Dragon has still been remembered and respected by the most famous martial artists in the field, who treat him as the greatest reference and this is not for everyone.
Even those who hate Bruce Lee and envy his success cannot get him out of their minds, there is no way to ignore him, he will always be there bothering them, but some still try to earn some money or attention by disguising their hatred against him. From the moment he was rejected by Linda Lee, after two years of marriage (1988-1990), Bleecker, still not happy, decided to take revenge in the worst possible way, revealing Bruce Lee's private details and alleged personal problems that Bruce Lee's widow had naively confided in him, and also claiming to have documentary evidence to support his allegations and defamations in a controversial book released in 1996.
Bruce's fans are not naive or stupid, they know very well how to identify an opportunist and a liar, as is the case with the loudmouth Tom Bleecker.
And the worst thing is that Bruce Lee is no longer among us to defend himself. It would be interesting if he faced Bleecker, wouldn't it?!?
Be patient...
Great comments! Although saying that there’s a campaign gives one the impression that it is organized which it certainly isn’t.
@@TheKungFuGenius Thank you. Regarding the campaign, there are controversies, perhaps not against Bruce Lee as a person, but what he represents. But that is another matter. See you later!
To be fair MOST divorce is the wo-MAN'S decision. They are spoiled & hard to please not to mention menopausal. Agree with the rest of your post, however.
I think youre right about this smear Bruce going on as if it's a top priority and I'd say the reason would be to divide and concor as usual because what really manifests when thinking about Bruce is a non racist, non sexist, hero type that see the corrupt bullies in the world beats their asses righting all the wrongs etc the NWO don't want us rising up against any evil esp since they're so close to enslaving us in a permanent trap.
I liked your point the other day that if Linda told everything about Bruce to Tom how was there nothing in his book about the drug use we all have plenty of evidence for now. That in and of itself is a huge red flag.
Perfect. Great point.
You hit the nail on the head!
Yeah, I made a small criticism of his book on Stripey's page and he gave me a very angry challenging response. I had a 1st edition when it came out. Several years ago I saw that it was selling for a lot of money on Amazon, so I sold my copy. Enjoy your videos Alex. We are very much on the same page here. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for your support! Your comment is in line with what most people have told me about their interactions with him.
@@TheKungFuGenius interactions with who, Stripey or Tom Bleecker?
I’m unsure who the OP was referring to
Bleecker
@@TheKungFuGenius I see Tom has responded with a video on his UA-cam page…
@@Jimquivious I was referring to Mr. Bleecker making an angry and challenging response to my comment on Stripey's video. Stripey is a class act and runs a terrific channel.
Great episode mate
Thank you!
I have that book unsettled matters read it years ago everything in it I took with a pinch of salt and your correct where is his proof .all the best Pete

Tom bleecker book is complete garbage And I don’t believe him at all. I think he is really worried about being called out good job sifu. Alex
Thank you! To be fair, there are a couple general and specific things he got right (Bob Baker being the mule and all) in his book, but it’s the stuff that he wants you to believe without evidence that’s problematic.

"No one is hated more than one who tells the truth." So being "hated" by liars should be an honor. (I love the Kung Fu Genius' content, by the way.)
I appreciate the support! as big part of why I’m goading him in these videos is because I do want to see what he has. Maybe some of the stuff he says is true, but his inability to defend it with hard stuff lends one to believe it’s probably not true.
I’m willing to be totally wrong on him so the ball is in his court!
Perfect shirt to wear for your response. 🤪
Very keen eye, sir
Well said as usual! :) Evidence and receipts!
I actively used to speak to Tom about Bruce Lee. I did ask if he had any photos of the two of them together; he said he felt they were private and did not want to share them with the public. My feeling is that he had none to share. He made his career talking and writing about Lee. Sad.

@eddietours3728 well, if he responds to this video with actual evidence, there may be new understanding. If he decides to respond by just calling me names with accusations, then he’s already lost.
@ I can’t wait 🫡
These needed to be done. Thank you, KFG. 👍
Fantastic video 👍🏻 love it. Keep up the great job. Sifu Alex.
Thank you!
Officially thrown down the gauntlet on this one Sifu Alex! I think our friend Tom is definitely going to regret sending that email.
Yes, and much like his shoddy detective work, he basically gave away in the email that he was going to accuse me of only making the video series because I was upset he wouldn’t do my podcast. And then he said he would do a response… At some point. So he basically just asking me to respond first.
I hope he will come on your podcast!! It would be interesting!! I would not miss that for the world!!
😂😂😂 This is hilarious. Good job exposing, KFG is where its at. 🔥🔥🔥👊
Thank you! I think the ironic part of this video (and Tom‘s “response”) is that this video was made before his video response in which he literally did everything I said he was gonna do in this video. I’ve been told by some people who communicate with him that he refuses to actually watch the videos and has to be fed by other people what the points were.
@@TheKungFuGeniusNo problem, I truly appreciate your dedication to Martial Arts and keeping Bruce Lee's legacy alive. I was surprised Bleeker responded to you. l agree, I do not think he will respond now. That pathetic response he gave was an attempt to save face. I have a friendly suggestion, do you want to analyse Bruce Lee's fights and illustrate to the audience how his techniques were practical in real life situations. I made a video of a boxer named Maidana who copied Bruce Lee unintentionally and it paid it's dividends. Jon Jones is a fighter who consciously copied Bruce Lee, watch a few of his fight and you will see. I remember hearing Teofimo Lopez (Former Unified Champion) mention something about the "pyramid", him and his Dad are massive admirers of Bruce Lee. They said they got the "pyramid" from Bruce Lee. They were very secretive about in an interview, but Teofimo made it known that Bruce Lee inspired them. He didn't delve to deeply into what that meant by the pyrmaid, do you have any idea what it is?
True story-although, since I have no hard evidence, it's technically hearsay, wink-wink-but back in the late '90s I got an actor friend of mine into Bruce. He's lives in the Bay Area and is a fight director and fencer, so when I pointed out the JKD/fencing connection he was so intrigued he ended up contacting and taking classes with Howard Williams, maybe the best fighter from Lee's Oakland school. During that time I ordered and read Unsettled Matters, thought it was an absolute hoot, and gave it to my friend to read. He had the same reaction and mentioned the book to Howard who ended up taking it home. Next class, my friend asked him if he'd read it and how accurate he thought it was and was basically told, "Well, I actually thought about looking up where Mr. Bleeker lives…so I could knock on his door and, y'know, TALK to him…but I decided against it because I was afraid I might KILL 'em." He went on to say how when he was doing some seminars in Scotland and was challenged by a dude who really got on his nerves, a storm or something prevented him from getting to the location where they agreed to have it out. He said he took that, and his decision to not "have words" with Tom, as God looking out for and testing him when it came to exercising his ability to hurt people. So, yeah, the good or bad thing about video rebuttals, depending on your point of view, is nobody gets punched, lol.
Finally and funnily enough, I posted this story once before in the comment section of some random Lee video and guess who took the time to critique it? But, hey, more power to someone who watchdogs their name so scrupulously on the internet-RUFF-RUFF!

Great T-shirt, very fitting👌👍
His main argument is "I have proof, the people who gave it to me authorized me to use it but made me swear not to show it".
If that's not convenient I don't know what that is.
Anyway, he censors most of the comments disagreeing with him, no matter how polite.
Yeah, that’s why I haven’t bothered with the response. His response wasn’t much of a response to what I said, and he clearly didn’t watch my video in which I said he would do exactly what he ended up doing.
My response to his non-response: www.youtube.com/@TheKungFuGenius/community
Sifu, Any great debater would welcome your challenge with energized enthusiasm!! Like Breedy, Bleecker's stories seems exaggerating over inflating the narrative What with these Bee Bee FOOLS?? 1 Cheers 👍Above ALL 👍 & The other 👎JEERS 👎Below ALL!! Then there's those who treat Bruce like he was a normal human being. That's just the way he wants to be remembered 🙏

Well at least you can’t be accused of not being transparent in this situation. Hopefully Tom is going to respond with some facts and logic. Do we really think he is sitting on some genuine undiscovered Bruce Lee history? I think he is likely gonna react and come back with further criticisms so try not to bite back - ideally you’ll share a conversation based on trust and just thrash it out - that’s where the real nuggets of interest will be revealed.
Thank you for your comment! Getting him to reveal some real information or evidence would be a huge positive development. The problem is that people have tried for years and he just gets upset about people even questioning his motives. I suspect we will see nothing.
Which would mean he is admitting defeat. If he makes it personal, comes after me with attacks and ignores the calls for evidence, the he is continuing what he’s done in the past and nothing has changed.
The ball is in his court.
I used to watch Tom's videos before feeling something was off with him the final nail was when he posted a video from his wedding to linda like he was crying out for recognition I was there belive what I say do not question me type great response Alex 😊
Thank you!
For my own reasons , I’m not a fan of Matt polys book but it’s more credible and better than unsettled matters.
Friends with Bruce Lee? Would a real friend of Bruce marry Bruce's wife? Great friend. (Yes, Bruce was dead by then, but it's borderline scuzzy).
“Scuzzy” is the perfect word!
Great response Alex! Dre is not effeminate he respectful Wing chin Student. Bleeker’s book book requires validation indeed. Seems to be a hater in disguise, and no one dies from smoking weed.
After all is said and done...
BRUCE LEE is still physically dead... Yet still completely...
INSPIRATIONALLY ALIVE...IN THE HEARTS & MINDS OF MILLIONS WORLD OVER... And remember...there is a lesson to be learned by the way Bruce Lee lived...and the private circumstances surrounding his death...Both aspects are Self Defense Lessons in Martial Arts & Life... Bruce Lee is so very much missed on Earth 😢...
May GOD rest my and our hero
Bruce Lee in peace...♥️

Did you see the new ai video on Bruce Lee mania channel? It’s amazing. Animated photos. It’s really cool
Guys,
Forget about the semi-tabloid book by Mr. Bleeker and wait for my AI assisted and AI inspired book that I have been working on about Betty Ting Pei and Bruce Lee. Its title is Enter My Dragon. It will have AI generated photos such as the one with Betty and Lee inside her apartment sipping tea. Here's an excerpt from the book:
Betty Ting Pei, finally, in 1976, was able to find strength to bring herself to watch Enter The Dragon for the first time, almost 3 years after Lee's death. In the very first scene, the camera zoomed in on Lee's face as he entered a warrior pose, the on-guard position. When asked what she was thinking at that moment, Betty replied, "A lot of Bruce's fans saw a great fighter, one with tremendous power and speed, flexibility and endurance, almost superhuman. But what they didn't realize is they are seeing a very sick man on a movie screen.""
I await this book!
My response to his non-response: www.youtube.com/@TheKungFuGenius/community
All good points, Mr KFG. But have you considered Chong E. Itsu?
I have, but I think Fung Kioto is the culprit.
KFG, so all those fans who thought the Tyson/Paul fight would be real must be disappointed. I was not. The first clue would be the gigantic gloves, followed by two-minute rounds. Mike was told not to follow up with combinations. Look at the videos of Mike hitting the pads so explosively. Did he forget how to do it in the ring? I don't buy it as a real fight, and many others don't either. Mike took the money. I mean how much money can Mike make from selling pot, lol.
"And every day I practice martial arts." Love the introduction. Ooooos!
AGREED. Excellent point.
Good job Sifu, Mr. Bleecker knows that controversy sells. The truth has nothing to do with selling.
We all desired to make a good living, and if we get attention, it’s just gravy for the bottom line.
Oh oh... Now Dre got some UM with Tom! Btw... Bruce was first, that is the reason why he acts like that 😂
Hey Alex! I noticed you brought up the Winstrol possibility which we both were discussing earlier, I can't believe you officially made me a part of the Bruce Lee Universe 😳🤗.. Im so happy that I myself will proudly giggle like a little girl and I'm a 41 year old man 🤔. Anyway, thank you for bringing that up especially to Tom Bleeker. I hope you two one day can have a intelligent decent peaceful discussion face to face on your podcast at your home. Who knows, maybe Tom has some medical records evidence that he keeps to himself for perhaps legal reasons or due to a promise that he made to his ex wife, Linda Lee 🤷🏻♂️, evidence he may show you in person. Nothing against you or him, may the facts prevail, however if you two ever get together it would be nice at the end of the podcast to see the both of you shake hands 🤝 and even hug one another. We already have politicians acting like poopi pants to eachother so let's show the world a better example 😁👍..
Thank you for your comment. As a Bruce Lee fan I just want to get at the truth, warts and all. But making up warts for the sake of sensationalism is not research. If he has evidence on his claims and it’s real evidence, then I’m happy because it means I learn something. As far as being buddies with him, having seen how he interacts with people online, including on his Facebook, I can tell he’s not the kind of person I would prefer to have at my dinner table. I’ve also been “warned” by people who have questioned his evidence that he likes to go and try to dox them or find private or personal info out on them because he seems to want to do everything but actually take responsibility for his claims. If he can attack people who question his motives, then he can push the problems of his claims into the background.
Hi again, I definitely am not saying Tom is an easy person to deal with, maybe that was part of the reason for their divorce, who knows what trauma he went through in his years that made him less then his true potential. My point is, don't take it too seriously :).. we all have someone in our family that is a bit of a "pooper" and we still love them deep down in our core. I think we can both agree on one of Lee's quotes, "under the sky, under the heavens there is but one family. It just so happens that people are different." :)... Maybe Bruce is smiling at the both of you and wondering, am I really that interesting?
Tom Bleecker needs to grow up. He wants to put down Bruce Lee because he's jealous!
Jealous of what..he banged his wife

Hey KFG, why are parts 2 and 3 of your take on Unsettled Matters not on Spotify? I can only listen to them on UA-cam.
Awesome response...yours not Bleecker's! ;)
Tom Bleeker ..woww! The guy alone is famous for stealing Linda! That was one harsh email from him. Didnt think he would be that grumpy at his age.
Well, to be fair, he didn’t steal Linda…
I kinda expected this just goes to show truth Hurts yet again sifu yr break down explanation of his email was awesome niceone 😎😀🙏
Thank you!
How do you know he didn't get Bruce Lee's approval on his book? Didn't he talk to Bruce through a psychic in the early 80's? 🤭
You’re totally right! I didn’t think of that!
Great debate .the problem we have ..is we whernt there .and no matter who talks about bruce from back when he was alive and knew him wether linda etc we have to take as truth as said we where not there .and can only be our own opion at end of day .no amount reseach etc or seconed hand interviews from people who knew him and we take as truth .great topic look forward to update in future videos
Thank you for commenting!
Yes, you are right about the struggles of history when there is presumably only hearsay. However, Bruce Lee is someone who has lived in contemporary history where records both actual and hypothetical do exist. For example, if someone were to have leveled the cocaine allegations before the drug letters came out, we would say there was no evidence. But when 50 letters written to Bob Baker were released now we have hard evidence. Hard evidence should be available on some of these accusations. The problem is when you don’t have hard evidence, the respectable thing is to admit it, or to not make the allegation to begin with. The burden of proof rests on the person making the claim, and when you make a claim, it’s your burden to substantiate it not the other way around.
Thanks again for commenting.
My apology for having you wrong. Thanks for defending Bruce/truth as you see it. Why does Tom Bleecker remind me of Dr. Drew Pinsky? There's some truth to what he says BUT it does seem he has an ax to grind.
Thanks for your comment. I don’t think Tom has the mental chops of Dr. Drew. He does get some stuff correct, but it’s often the benign stuff that everyone knows. It’s his accusations that are leveled without any evidence that he’s incredibly thin skinned on when confronted about.
Ask Bleecker does Dan Inosanto ( The Living Father of Jeet Kune Do & fellow student of Kenpo Karate 😒) knows him or of him ( I wouldn't bet a SURE BET Against The Raiders in Vegas that he does know him ( In Pro 🏈 that's the easiest Bet in ALL SPORTS 🤚✋️down)
Well said Kung Fu Genius.
Thank you!
Years (decades?) ago I had the opportunity to converse with Mr. Bleecker on a Bruce Lee forum. To his credit Mr. Bleecker was nothing but polite in his responses to my questions & comments. But ... like you, I mentioned that I didn't see any actual evidence that Bruce had used anabolic steroids in Tom's book (I recall mentioning that photos of Bruce shirtless on the set of Game Death and/or during the filming of GOD didn't support Tom's claims that Bruce didn't have his famous physique at that time), Tom's response was basically that he had seen medical records that did prove it but he couldn't publicly share those records (or words to that effect, it's been a long while). Which, to me, in hindsight, leaves me feeling a little like an atheist being asked by a theist to prove there is no god. Sorry, you're making the claim, I'm just asking for verifiable evidence to support your claim before I'll accept it as fact! Maybe there's a god, maybe there's a Bigfoot, & maybe Bruce Lee used anabolic steroids, but I still haven't seen any credible evidence supporting any of those claims!
☝🏻amen!
I had a similar message LOL with regard to the last part ,.
RE: he was a close friend, ok.... i doubt that more like an acquaintance, any photos of you and your close friend FFS HA! nope
Who you got winning tonight?
I want Tyson to win, but I don’t think he can withstand heavy punches or survive out of the second round. I hope I’m proved wrong.
@@TheKungFuGenius me too. I hope he wins but I’m not sure.
@@TheKungFuGeniusHa...you were basically correct. The only reason he went longer was because Jake was holding back, as he fully admitted.
Money grab?
I do believe that Bleecker probably has more insider information due to his personal ties with Bruce Lee and his family. But I agree, he needs to provide receipts, especially when writing a book to debunk the "super hero" facade of Bruce Lee. Unless we have receipts, we cannot accept these claims. Additionally, I don't buy the "off-steroids" argument to explain why Bruce Lee wore a tracksuit. We need to establish Bruce first used steroids (which is still likely) then provide the evidence Bruce Lee wore a tracksuit because he had an "off-season" physique. Bruce Lee filmed GOD between August and October 1972. There are behind the scenes photos of Bruce Lee and Dan Inosanto sparring outside, where Bruce wasn't wearing a shirt. His physique was lean and muscular just like in WOTD or ETD. As for the tracksuit, Linda Lee already explained it, "You need not be dressed in a traditional uniform to be an effective fighter."
Super hero facade? Please elaborate
But so far anytime he’s “provided evidence“ by email to other Bruce Lee experts, it’s always documents that most of us already have. Most of us nerds have most of the medical records and inquest documents, and Tom has never provided more than that as any evidence of anything. The problem is we’ve already seen it. We’re waiting for the stuff he claims to have.
Damn! Crickets

@TheKungFuGenius interesting. I have an early review of the book that mentions Bruce, weed and coke. The coke stood out to me back in 95
But the book mentions come one time in relation to it not being found. I have the original version of the book as well. Also, the book came out in 96.
"Close friend"? I wouldn't even have believed it if he had said that th😊ey were enemies, because to Bruce, someone like bleecker is just a waste of even a nanosecond of his time.
Agreed!
Dre got whacked by Tom and he’s literally just sat there 😂😂😂😂
😂Tom Bleecker is lying, envy and try to make Bruce look like a bad person.
It’d be funny if Bleeker sent you a photo of him with Bruce using AI to prove he was close to Bruce Lee thinking it would fool us😂😂😂

I remember years ago on the forums there were rumours going around about this guy, apparently he got caught going through the airport security wearing a metal chastity device. Absolutely hilarious to imagine even if it's likely made up 😂
Someone should marry one of his former wives and write a tell all book about his obsessive use of chastity belts. According to Tom’s logic, we shouldn’t be allowed to refute that person‘s writing or motivation!

Well put and intelligent response. I have never read the books but I have watched his UA-cam posts, so I found all 3 of your podcasts very interesting and informative.
Thank you!
Apparently, a name change is in order for your sidekick. An Dre a. 🤣
The problem with Tom's book is the sensationalism without proof (you have nailed it). Typical tabloid stuff, phenomena from the 80s/90s. I remember reading his book many years ago, and the thing that struck me at that time was the sense that he clearly disliked Bruce Lee. Ok, I can somehow understand that-Bruce was not the most pleasant person to be around. But I just felt that something was wrong with his story-it was like he was getting back at Linda for something that happened between them. Tom was bullied at school when he was a teenager, and that's a trauma that never heals. I think he sees Bruce Lee as some kind of a bully (he is not wrong, thought), and he must get his revenge on him.
Greeting from Sweden
Great comment. I think this is one of the nuances that is missed by some defenders of Tom. I’m not saying Bruce was a saint, or that he didn’t have his own issues, or that he wasn’t clearly doing things that don’t look great. But none of that means that saying bad things about Bruce are automatically true.
Also, it’s clear that Tom does not like Bruce. But all of that would be fine if everything he put in his book was true. I would be the first to admit that even if Tom absolutely hated Bruce, if what he wrote in his book was factually accurate then it is factually accurate. It doesn’t matter who says the facts, it only matters if they’re true or not. But the problem with Tom is we have both someone who doesn’t like Bruce Lee and is seemingly making stuff up.
And Alex he implied that the butler’s did it. Which doesn’t make sense as why would you murder the person whom was paying the bills ??
Hi Alex. He is responding now.

Hey KFG, Tom Bleecker just posted a video about you on his UA-cam channel. He's Saying your lying about him and you are out get him because he didn't want to appear on your podcast?
I heard, but today’s my birthday and I’m spending time with my family so watching that video will have to wait. I heard that he just made it personal and claimed my response was because he wasn’t on my podcast… Just like I said he would say in this video before his video came out. Funny how that works. To make it clear, this video came out before his, and I already said he was going to say that. I even granted it to him. But still… Where is the evidence on the steroids, diuretics, and Cortizone?
I don’t know what I’m lying about, I’m literally just asking for claims of evidence. He doesn’t like to be questioned. His emotional response to being asked for evidence is not my problem.

I started playing around back in 1984. Granted I only met a few people who knew Bruce well. As for the 7 years I trained with James Demile and seminars with Jessie Glover, Dan Inosanto, and Steve Golden never heard of Tom.
Thank you for that! That sounds the same as what I’ve heard.
Totally unrelated to this topic have you ever considered doing episodes with high level instructors from other martial art Okinawa karate guys or other form's of kung fu I'm sure that would definitely be an interesting exchange and broaden your audience a bit
Great idea!
A clear concise refutation, Bleeker could not address any of the points you made in your podcasts. I expect another personal tirade against you.

Jon Jones is a fighter who consciously copied Bruce Lee, watch a few of his fight and you will see. I remember hearing Teofimo Lopez (Former Unified Champion) mention something about the "pyramid", him and his Dad are massive admirers of Bruce Lee. They said they got the "pyramid" from Bruce Lee. They were very secretive about in an interview, but Teofimo made it known that Bruce Lee inspired them. He didn't delve to deeply into what that meant by the pyrmaid, do you have any idea what it is?
@@TheKungFuGenius No problem, I truly appreciate your dedication to Martial Arts and keeping Bruce Lee's legacy alive. I was surprised Bleeker responded to you. l agree, I do not think he will respond now. That pathetic response he gave was an attempt to save face.

Interesting that he keeps gaslighting you and avoiding your questions and can't back up any claims that he made in his printed book. If he has evidence about what he claimed in his book bring it here.
Thank you! People have been trying for years but I figured I’d make one final and public attempt to see if there was anything behind his claims. It seems like he’s just a thin-skinned liar who wrote an untruthful book. We tried!
Childish and nonsensical, but love you KFG! Don’t agree though with the effeminate adjective to our boy Dre, as he’s my favorite part of the podcast

It’s clear to me from that e-mail alone that Tom B. thinks he’s better than everyone else, and can’t take any honest criticism: typical narcissistic behavior.

He was talking shit about Dre?!!?!?
Seems so!
I thought perhaps he would respond. I have read that he can be quite rude when questioned. Let's hope he shares all the stuffs 😂 he claims as facts. You gave a great response Sifu.
Thank you!
Thanks!
Wow thank you! 🙏🏻
