You guys will appreciate this interview from 1991 with Brandon Lee. I read this in the paper when it happened.

MAL: People Weekly reported that you had an encounter with a real knife-carrying burglar about five years ago. Was that true?

Lee: I came home and found somebody in the middle of robbing my house, yeah.

MAL: Nearly everybody who has studied the martial arts, including me, wonders what would happen if they had to use them for real. Did instinct take over? What do you remember of the incident?

Lee: I am very pleased to say that instinct took over quite completely. We do knife-fighting drills down at the academy quite frequently and not just static knife-fighting drills, but the kind where one person will wear a fencer's mask and the other person will come at him quite vigourously with a rubber blade, and try and score.

I really just clicked right back into [that training]. I am back at the academy, what should I do? It was a relatively brief encounter, I took the knife away from him, broke his arm, dislocated his shoulder, broke his nose and his jaw, then the police came and took him away.

MAL: Did you have to appear as a witness?

Lee: I had to show up, but I didn't have to say anything because he plead guilty.

MAL: This sounds somewhat foolish, but I wonder why you didn't get in trouble for beating the guy up?

Lee: No, not at all. When the police first came they cuffed us both, you know, but I understood that. It took about two or three minutes to figure out what was going on, and some of my neighbors came out and collaborated my story. At that point they let me go and were very polite about the whole thing.




Now, let me give you a little insight on what is not told here, but was in the newspaper at the time. Brandon Lee had pictures of his father on the walls of his apartment, along with awards his father had won and also trophies for martial arts comepetitions. I would say that the burglar was extremely brainless lmao

For those that don't know, I have practiced martial arts for a long time, and am especially like Krav Maga, but the first style I practiced, Shaolin Goju karate, I prefered the Sai. I really don't have weapon training, but I do now how to disarm.
