    I've seen early photos of BL practicing various styles, such as White Crane/Hop Ga, (possibly) southern Mantis, CLF, and possibly even some northern Mantis. I'm sure he probably traded/exchanged with many practitioners of other styles and picked up bits and pieces here and there.

    Re: the photo. The gentleman on Bruces' right, I am not familiar with(apologies). The gentleman on the left is..the laste Master Shek Kin?(from Enter the Dragon). If so, I have heard that Shek Kin was the real deal and quite skilled in Northern Shaolin(and Eagle Claw?). I have also heard that he was a very nice man in real life(unlike his persona in the movie).
