Professor Dan "Super Dan" Anderson is a Martial Arts practitioner, instructor, and the founder of American Freestyle Karate.

My feet said, Get off your ass, boy, we're heading for Bruce Lee. And I don't know what I'm going to say. It's like, oh, man, what do I say? I don't know what I would say. So I get up in front of him, I actually walked right in front of him. I cut off his path and I said, excuse me, you're Mr. Bruce Lee, aren't you?
