Bruce Lee was a Hong Kong American martial artist and actor.
Lee Jun-fan, known as Bruce, was born in San Francisco, USA in 1940.
The family returned to Hong Kong shortly after Lee Jun-fan was born.
As a result of several street fights, Lee was enrolled in classes of Wing Chun teacher Yip Man, in 1954.
Lee's street fights continued,
and one fight involving a member of an organised crime gang led to Lee's father deciding to send him to the United States to stay with his older sister in San Francisco.
He spent some time in San Francisco before moving to Seattle where he continued his high school education.
He then enrolled at the University of Washington.
Having spent time teaching Kung Fu in Seattle,
Lee continued to teach his own style of Kung Fu until 1964, when he dropped out of college,
and moved to Oakland to live with the martial artist, James Lee.
Lee then took part in the Long Beach International Karate Championships in 1964,
demonstrating his two-fingered push-ups, and his famous One-Inch Punch for the first time.
After a controversial fight with another martial artist, Wong Jack Man,
Lee began filming TV show, The Green Hornet, and shortly after opened The Jun Fan Institute of Gung Fu.
The fights with Wong Jack Man altered Lee's philosophy on Wing Chun Kung Fu and martial arts as a whole,
and he began to develop his own style, abolishing the formal approach to Kung Fu,
and developing over time, Jeet Kune Do known as The Way of the Intercepting Fist,
which focused on practicality, speed and efficiency, and a focus on physical conditioning and nutrition.
After the filming of The Green Hornet, Lee's TV and film career began to develop.
He then took his first leading role in the movie The Big Boss, followed by Fists of Fury, which were both huge successes across Asia.
His third film, Way of The Dragon, gave Lee his first opportunity to write, direct and choreograph the film's fight scenes.
In 1972, Lee began filming Game of Death, but production was halted after Warner Brothers offered him the opportunity to star in Enter The Dragon,
which went on to become one of 1973's top grossing films, and cemented Bruce Lee's legacy.
Six days before the release of Enter The Dragon, Bruce Lee died after suffering a swelling of the brain,
allegedly brought on by pain killers he had consumed earlier, which had caused an allergic reaction.
Many different theories and controversies surround Lee's death,
but his legacy of bringing both martial arts and Asian cinema to the Western World remain to this day.
