May 6, 1967 - Washington, D.C. - Bruce meets Joe Lewis at The Mayflower Hotel while both were guests at the 67' National Karate Championships. Joe is competing in the tournament and Bruce is making special appearances as Kato.
Just to tie in the dates here, they meet in May, and then Lewis and Lee BOTH appear, according to the timeline, the following month at the Open Karate Trournament in New York City, which is where this footage is from.
Nick mentioned this too, that this was reviewing footage for Lee. This was mentioned in the Man and the Legend Doc. But what proof is there this FOOTAGE is Lee's reviewing footage? What kind of appearance was Lee making at Madison Square Garden 1 month later from where they first met?
There is still another note here and that is HOW Lewis was fighting in 1967. If you compare his style in May and then again in June. He can't possibly be fighting as fluid and as in simlar form as Lee in 1 month?! We'll need posted video to prove this! Steve maybe you can answer this: When did Lee begin training Lewis?
