Bruce in the middle of a form.

pecame so curious about it that I asked him why he chewed so much gum. He answered by opening his mouth and showing me a large cavity in one of his back teeth. I asked him why he didn’t go to the dentist and have it fixed, and he told me that he didn’t like dentists. He said that as long as he kept chewing gum his mouth tasted clean and the tooth didn’t hurt him. I told him scarey tales of what it would be like if the tooth broke until he finally went to the dentist and got it filled. Since eating was one of Bruce's favorite pastimes, the entire club spent hundreds of hours at different Chinese restaurants in Seattle’s International District. Before it became popular, we spent a lot of time at the Tai Tung. Whenever it was full we went to the Baby Three Grands, Lin Yin, Gim Ling, or the Atlas Cafe, Bruce thought that the Yin Lin made the best oyster sauce beef and that it gave more than an adequate serving. The best place for tomato beef was the Three Grands, and the Gim Ling had the best Chinese pastry. Bruce's favorite eating place was the Atlas Cafe, but we didn't go there often because the old man who ran the place was really independent, and sometimes it took a long time to get waited on. When we were in a good mood and didn’t mind waiting we would go to the Atlas because the food was fantastic. The outstanding features of the Tai Tung was that the food was cheap, good, and they had wider selection than the other restaurants. Sometimes when we went downtown to eat, Bruce would pretend that he was the son of the Chinese Ambassador to the U.S. Bruce would act like he couldn’t speak English and Howard, Ed and I would pretend to translate his wishes to the waitress who was always attentive because she assumed (and rightly so) that she was going to get a good tip. It was funny to watch the quick change in people when they found out that Bruce was someone important, and his restaurant game led me to suspect that Bruce was a man who really wanted to be famous. Bruce’s Gung Fu instructions taught me how to put concepts together and how he thought. Once I understood his thinking, it became easy for me to understand his Gung Fu concepts even though I didn’t have the Physiology to put many of them into practice. One of Bruce's favorite Sayings was that he had given me the pieces, but that I was going to have to provide my own basic structure. In the last few years I have come to realize that he also gave me a large part of the structure upon which to place these Pieces. All that remains for me to do is to carry his concepts to their logical conclusion.
