Bruce Lee’s business card for sale

By James Gamble

A business card for kung fu film icon Bruce Lee's martial arts lessons is set to go on sale — and could fetch up to £4,500 (more than $6,000).

The business card, inscribed "Walk on!" by Lee on the back, was given out to advertise the kung fu colossus's martial arts tuition service.

The card serves as a reminder that superstar Lee was not just the leading man in films like 1972's "Fist of Fury" and 1973's "Enter the Dragon," but also worked as an exceptionally talented martial arts teacher.

Auctioneers Ewbank's are set to sell one of the original business cards used by Lee to advertise his services — with estimates pricing it at between £3,500 (more than $4,000) and £4,500 (more than $6,000).

The card comes from a period when, as well as working as a martial arts tutor, Lee also worked as an action director and even screenwriter on films.

The ultimate martial arts icon, Lee has inspired dozens of films and documentaries since his death in 1973, aged just 32.

By the time he succumbed to a swelling of the brain, he had worked on a mammoth 37 films — more than one for every year of his life.

Lee appeared in his first feature at just one year old, back in 1941.
