Bruce’s teen years were spent training in various martial arts, including Wing Chun. While attending high school at St. Francis Xavier’s College in Kowloon, he began learning the western form of boxing and led his school in boxing competitions. In fact, young Bruce won the Boxing Championship of Hong Kong and the Crown Colony Cha Cha Championship. However in 1959, at the age of eighteen, Bruce got into a serious fight and was arrested by the police. His parents decided to send him back to America because of this. After living in San Francisco for a while, Bruce moved to Seattle to focus on his university education. While he was studying at the University of Washington, he met Linde Emery. She later became his wife in 1964.
