Fight Choreography, Firearms, and Film
Having over 40+ years in martial arts, Lee’s skills has appeared on numerous films as a stuntman, fight choreographer, and weapons consultant for blockbuster films like Lethal Weapon 4 and Marvel’s Blade. Originally from Madison, WI the Chinese/American has been a performer all his life involved in music, the arts, and in sports. Although a student of the American Academy of Music, his first love was martial arts. Lee’s background in classical piano and violin was overshadowed greatly by his championship training from Martial Arts Masters Wei Kong Koo and Sang Kee Paik. Lee went on to appear in 7 World Championship Finals, winning 4 ISKA World Championships in a row on ESPN. Discovery by Baywatch directors/producers Doug Schwartz and Michael Berke, along with wrestling superstar Hulk Hogan led to his notoriety as a film and television villain. A member of the Kahana Stunt Team, Lee is best known for stunts, character villains, and fight choreography in particular in the areas of martial arts weapons and firearms.
Here are just a few highlights from Lee's exciting career.
I have trained in Kung Fu, Karate, Tae Kwon Do, Kobujutsu, and Jiu Jitsu. I love Sanda and kickboxing, but my favorite is weapons!
Old school, nunchucks! New school, Glock 26 9mm.
It’s a toss up between Lethal Weapon 4 and Blade.
That one is between "Kenan and Kel" and "Burn Notice".
Hands down, Chinese Dim Sum!
I am working on 2 projects: SciFi Saber, a new line of LED weapons and Dragonfly ASD, martial arts for the Autism community.
