this has turned into a wing chun discussion somehow. Although related to bruce lee a lot, it's not bruce lee. Let's talk about Bruce Lee.

Bruce Lee's son was shot while shooting a movie. The gun was loaded when it was supposed to be a prop.

Bruce Lee loved to play practical jokes on people. Like this one time he goes 'hey' to get this guy (teacher or student.. can't remember) to turn around and the second he turned his head he swung this foam 3 piece staff at his face with ee han timingu and the guy fell to the ground and waited for the pain and was like o shit lol.

I read a biography with a theory of the Chinese martial arts community assasinating him because he was teaching the "outsiders" martial arts.

well he wasn't poisoned, i really believe he was allergic to the pills he was taking. And if even that is not true then raymond chow must of paid a shitload to not release info if he was poisoned

Bruce Lee is a legend not only because of his world renown, but simply watching his movies or hearing his interviews makes it clear that he was a genius in his field. Major props to Lee and to you for making this blog.

That statue is on a "star walkway" which is basically a copy of the Hollywood streets, with hand prints of all the big HK stars. I went to see it less than a month ago:

wut

Modern MMA is an evolution of brazilian vale tudo which exist since much before Bruce Lee was born. Lee just helped make the concept popular to pubs and even then he was decades behind in fighting style himself. Bruce Lee is cool and all, I am his fan too (got a few posters ^^) but he has zero (0%) influence with modern MMA fighting style.

But I agree Bruce Lee fucking pwns ^^ nice article overall.
