Bruce Lee owned and used custom-made Roman chair, made of black iron with stomach pad covered in light mint green vinyl. Chair was made for Lee by Herb Jackson, an iron-worker by trade, whose well-documented friendship with Lee began while he trained in Jeet Kune Do at Lee's Los Angeles martial arts academy in Chinatown. Lee, impressed with the older fighter's background in street fighting, befriended his student and invited him to train at his home, calling on Jackson to craft custom training equipment for use in Jeet Kune Do. Just before his move to Hong Kong, Lee gifted many pieces of his martial arts equipment to Jackson. Roman chair measures 48'' x 13.75'' x 18.25'' and weighs 30 pounds. One segment is wrapped in foam and tape. Very good condition. With a COA from Herb Jackson's son. Chair is featured in photos from the book ''Bruce Lee The Art of Expressing the Human Body'', showing Lee using it.
