Bruce Lee's Shield For Jeet Kune Do Training -- Extra Heavy Duty Piece of Equipment Was Custom Made Per Lee's Request

Bruce Lee's custom striking shield used in his proprietary martial arts method, Jeet Kune Do. Striking shield was handcrafted for Lee by his friend and student George Lee (no relation) and improved upon by another protege-turned-friend Herb Jackson, in whose possession much of Lee's training equipment was left upon his move to Hong Kong. Custom punching/kicking board was made to withstand greater impact by Lee and protect its holder better than the industry standard martial arts training equipment of the day. Cleverly designed shield began with George Lee's structure - a rectangular wooden board with curved side handles. Jackson topped the board with four one-inch-thick layers of dense foam padding, cut to form a truncated pyramid. Both sides of the board feature tubular handles of metal covered in a black rubber coating for comfort and grip. Board measures 16.25'' x 10'', with handles extending the length to 22'' across. Pad measures 5'' in total thickness. Light soiling, denting and creasing to surface from use. Near fine. Accompanied by a color snapshot of Jackson holding the shield in position and bracing for a strike. With a COA from Jackson's son.

Bruce Lee's Personally Owned & Used Pair of Dumbbells

Pair of Bruce Lee personally owned and used dumbbells. Each dumbbell measures 7'' across, with 4.25'' diameter around the bell. One weighs 11.6 pounds, the other 11.8 pounds. Corrosion, else near fine. From the collection of Herb Jackson, whose well-documented friendship with Lee began while he trained in Jeet Kune Do at Lee's Los Angeles martial arts academy in Chinatown. Impressed with Jackson's background in street fighting, in time Lee befriended his student and invited him to train at his home. Just before his fateful move to Hong Kong, Lee gifted many pieces of his martial arts equipment to Jackson. With a COA from Herb Jackson's son. Image is from pp. 16 of ''Bruce Lee's Fighting Method''.
