Pre-bidding closes Thu 12 Nov
Weiss Auctions is selling a group of Bruce Lee's personal training equipment in its November Historical and Rock & Roll Auction. Pre-bidding closes at 09:30 US Eastern on Thursday 12 November (14:30 UK), and the live webcast starts at 10:00 Eastern (15:00 UK).
The pieces are lots 217 to 222. Lot 221 is a weight bench, estimated at $30,000 to $40,000. Lot 222 is a Roman chair, estimated at $25,000 to $35,000. Lot 220 is a leather medicine ball weighing 12 lb 4 oz, estimated at $15,000 to $25,000. Lot 217 is a group of books led by a scarce pirated edition of Chinese Gung Fu and Tao of Jeet Kune Do, estimated at $1,500 to $2,000, and lots 218 and 219 are 1970s black light posters at $100 to $200 each.
Weiss says the equipment came from Herb Jackson, who studied Jeet Kune Do at Lee's Los Angeles academy in the 1960s and made Lee's custom equipment. Lee gave him the pieces before moving to Hong Kong, with the bench dating to around 1968. Each piece comes with a signed certificate of authenticity from Jackson's son, Mark Ashton-Jackson.
Weiss has another Lee sale lined up for December, a book auction featuring a 1963 first edition of Chinese Gung Fu inscribed to Don Lindsley. An earlier signed copy sold for $115,050 in April 2026.
The bench has the highest estimate of the group, at up to $40,000, and the Roman chair is not far behind.
