He was Bruce Lee's first student and first assistant instructor in the United States. He met Lee in 1959, as they both attended Edison Technical College and was the one who first taught Lee judo. Bruce Lee had his reaction time measured at Glover's house. In the book "Bruce Lee - Between Wing Chun and JKD", Glover states: The timer was hooked up to a light switch that activated it when the light was turned off. It was stopped by striking a pad with a cut off switch behind it. Bruce tested his reactions several times and they were all about five hundredths of a second (0.05 second). Bruce´s first punches were thrown from a distance of three feet. When he closed from five feet his reactions were slower but they were still around eight hundredths of a second (0.08 second). My own times from three feet were between 11 and 18 hundredths of a second (0.11 and 0.18 second). From a distance they were in the low twenties.
