Bruce Lee (1940-1973) was a martial artist, film actor,
filmmaker, philosopher and the founder of the original mixed
martial art known as Jeet Kune Do--"the way of the intercepting
fist." As an actor, Lee became a cultural icon. He was born in San
Francisco but spent his formative years in Hong Kong. His
groundbreaking action films sparked intense interest in the Asian
martial arts in the West. His most famous film is Enter the Dragon
(1973). He was an avid student of all forms of martial arts along
with Eastern and Western philosophy and is regarded today as the
most influential martial artist who ever lived. Lee moved beyond
the rigid traditional style of martial arts to develop his own
free-form, modern style of Jeet Kune Do.
