Dragon Lee
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dragon Lee (b 1940 North Korea), is an actor and practioner of hapkido.
Soon after his birth his family relocated to the former U.S.S.R where was then given the name Vyachaslev Yaksysnyi. His family remained there until Lee was a teenage and then relocated to South Korea.
It was at this stage of his life that Lee began studying the Korean martial art of hapkido under the direction of Hwang In-Shik.
In his early twenties Lee made his way to Hong Kong where he starred in numerous martial art films. At this juncture of his life he was sometimes credited as Bruce Lei. This was due to the fact that he bore a striking resemblance to the late Bruce Lee. Among his many film credits is the semi-documentary The Real Bruce Lee (1973).
Today, Lee lives in Seoul, South Korean and is an actor and producer of various television shows.
