Yes Bleeker did marry Linda Lee .
He wrote his book based on information he was given access to in Linda Lee's home and in Bruce Lee's office.
He had access to Linda's memories,Lee's notes,books,medical records,every thing as Bruce and Linda supposedly kept EVERYTHING.
This is where the info for his book comes from.

  it wasn't just about taking the best technique and using it.. without getting into a bit thing.. Intercepting, destructions, was big here to... We all have 2 legs and arms.. I think you are missing the point and need to do some more research or train with someone qualified to teach you the right answers u seek.

Good post Eric!

I bought and read Thomas Bleeker's book back in the 90s.  An important thing to point out about Bleeker is that he did marry Linda and very quickly Linda divorced him.  Bleeker was very disgruntled about the divorce and then he cashed in on the Bruce Lee brand name and wrote that book.

His book is based mostly on speculation, but the basic theme is to point out that Bruce wasn't a monk who sat under a waterfall- who is?  He was a normal guy.  Many who read that book were shocked that Bruce experimented with anabolic steroids.  These are the same people that still insist their favorite athlete hasn't done the same thing.  These people are ignorant.  I have even had arguments with people who insist that bodybuilders like Ronnie Colemen are natural athletes, LOL!

Bruce was consumed by his training and research.  His whole ethos was being the best he could be and always maintaining the highest standards.  People who are driven by the highest standards and who end up as the leaders in their field often have personal problems- why should he be any different.

My take on that book is Bleeker was a punk who was dumped by Bruce Lee's wife.  That was his meal ticket and it was taken away.  I wonder if Tacket knows anything about this guy?

Tackett knows the whole scoop.
But he won't gossip about it publically.
If you are close to him, in a quiet place, he might get around to the details.

Steriods were not illegal in the late 60s/early 70s either.
