Bruce Lee moved to Seattle in 1959, to continue his high school education. In December 1960, Lee completed high school and received his diploma from Edison Technical School (now Seattle Central Community College, located on Capitol Hill, Seattle). March 1961, Lee enrolled at the University of Washington, majoring in drama according to the university’s alumni association information, not in philosophy as claimed by Lee himself and many others. Lee also studied philosophy, psychology, and various other subjects. It was at the University of Washington that he met his future wife Linda Emery, a fellow student studying to become a teacher, whom he married in August 1964. Lee began teaching martial arts in 1959. He called what he taught Jun Fan Gung Fu (literally Bruce Lee’s Kung Fu). It was basically his approach to Wing Chun. Lee taught friends he met in Seattle, starting with Judo practitioner Jesse Glover, who later became his first assistant instructor. Lee opened his first martial arts school, named the Lee Jun Fan Gung Fu Institute, in Seattle.
