Though no expert, Saxon had a legitimate background in martial arts before garnering his role in Enter the Dragon having first studied judo in the 1950s and then training in shotokan karate with Hidetaka Nishiyama in the 1960s. He would later go on to train for several years in tai chi chuan.

“He was such a seasoned, mature actor. He was one of the few actors in Hollywood that studied diction,” said Gloria. “He speaks Italian and Spanish.” Saxon has plenty memories of working with other film legends.
John Saxon: Bruce ran two of his films for me to see in Hong Kong, before we began ‘Enter the Dragon’. I don’t at the moment remember the titles of them.
