Preserve Bruce Lee's Historic Seattle Dojo From Demolition


Preserve Bruce Lee's Historic Seattle Dojo From Demolition
The Issue
This is an urgent call to action born to honor a legendary figure in martial arts history - Bruce Lee.
4750 University Way in Seattle is no ordinary place; the first floor was a humble dojo where a young Bruce Lee taught Jun Fan Gung Fu and lived from October 1963 to July 1964.
Unfortunately, Bruce Lee's heritage spaces are slowly disappearing. His home in Hong Kong was demolished in 2019, making the preservation of his Seattle dojo even more critical. It remains one of the last few physical symbols directly connected to this martial arts pioneer.
By preserving this dojo, we are not only celebrating the richness of our cultural heritage but also giving future generations a chance to stand in the exact spot where Bruce Lee once stood, practicing, teaching, and shaping his philosophy under a humble roof. This isn't just about preserving a location; it's about upholding the spirit of martial arts and honouring the lineage embodied by Bruce Lee.
Together, we have the power to ensure this dojo isn't lost to time. Together, we can preserve a significant piece of martial arts history. Join us in urging for the formal recognition and preservation of 4750 University Way as a landmark. Let's honor one of the world's greatest martial artists in a way he truly deserves, by preserving the site where he lived, taught, and dreamed.
Please sign this petition to help protect this irreplaceable cultural legacy. Respect Bruce Lee's famous saying, 'Under the sky, one family,' by signing and sharing this petition with friends and family.
