Description

'Gold stripe' student membership card for Bruce Lee's Jun Fan Gung Fu Institute, signed by its legendary founder

Rare unissued circa 'gold stripe' student membership card for Bruce Lee's Jun Fan Gung Fu Institute, 3.75 x 2.5, signed at the bottom in bold black ink by Lee as president, “Bruce Lee." In very fine condition. Encapsulated and graded by PSA/DNA as "MINT 9."

Accompanied by a letter of provenance from Taky Kimura, a student and close friend of Bruce Lee: “Bruce Lee, my late and great friend who achieved stardom and was the leading pioneer within the martial arts world, signed this Jun Fan Gung Fu Institute Card. Starting in 1966, Bruce Lee would send me these signed cards to give out to the high-ranking students of the Seattle Branch Gung Fu School.”

This desirable membership card for Lee's early and influential martial arts institute boasts his Jeet Kune Do logo at center, which incorporates the yin and yang symbol and his motto: 'Using no way as way, having no limitation as limitation.' Lee founded his first Jun Fan Gung Fu Institute in Seattle in 1960, before setting up shop in California. An ultra-desirable format signed by the legendary martial artist-turned-actor.
