Spofford St in Chinatown. That's about the most crowded area in San Francisco. An alley between Grant and Stockton, with thousands of people shopping for food, groceries and good eating on the adjacent streets. My Chinese-American wife was born there a couple blocks away, grew up there for a while in the early 1950s. We would often shop for Chinese food and groceries up through the 1980s. Extremely crowded and busy, cars and trucks double-parked everywhere and difficult to navigate. Very Chinese district. We shifted shopping to the Richmond District where a new Chinatown was growing (Clement St).
I can imagine Bruce Lee hanging around that area then, and now if he were alive, not much changed from 50 years ago.

Here's the inside scoop - BL lied and lost the fight, in the process of cheating at the out set was struck by Northern Shaolin Grand Master WJM's palm in a kind of blow which can cause death sooner or later and may be the reason BL died "mysteriously" of an embolism.
See here for this fascinating story - it is a paste job and repeats before going on so scroll to next part: BRUCE LEEâS TOUGHEST FIGHTâ, by Michael Dorgan (from Official Karate, July 1980) - BL's wife Linda wrote a book which may largely be BS or at least greatly embellished with certain parts omitted. BL wanted the fight to be to the death, however WJM thought it was to be a friendly exhibition. When WJM realized what BL was trying to do, he held back out of fear of consequences, ie he could have killed BL like swatting a fly had he responded in kind. WJM could have at any moment in the fight which would have left BL dead or dying but knew how dangerous his kicks were and so withheld them, enduring BL's silly Wing Chun style using fists with various blocks and holds. After the fight WJM said he thought that BL's later invented style of Jeet Kune Do was a chop suey of many and varied ingredients and may have been the actual cause due to improper breathing techniques.

I boxed Bruce Lee’s younger brother Robert in a Taiwanese film made in the later 1970s.
