In 1967, Bob Bremer saw Bruce Lee demonstrate jeet kune do and became one of the first people to enroll in the Chinatown school, missing only one class in three years. Bremer brought a no-nonsense approach to fighting, earning him the title “No. 1 Chinatown ass kicker” from Dan Inosanto. As a result, Lee invited him to his house on Sundays for one-on-one training sessions. After Lee closed his school, Bremer became part of the original backyard class taught by Inosanto.

In the 1980s, Bremer began attending Tim Tackett's Wednesday Night Group classes, where his firsthand experience with Lee changed the way the group approached jeet kune do.

Bremer co-wrote Chinatown Jeet Kune Do: Essential Elements of Bruce Lee's Martial Art with Tackett.
