Bruce Lee is best remembered for his roles in popular martial arts movies of the early 1970s, such as Enter the Dragon.
Born Lee Jun-fan in San Francisco in 1940, he was a Hong Kong-American actor, director, martial artist, martial arts instructor and philosopher brought up in Kowloon, Hong Kong.
Bruce Lee is considered by commentators, critics, media and indeed other martial artists to be the most influential martial artist of all time.
He also remains a pop culture icon of the 20th century, who bridged the gap between East and West.
Sadly, Bruce Lee died of a cerebral oedema in Hong Kong in 1973 but subsequently, he was named by Time magazine as one of the 100 most influential people of the 20th century. For a martial artist, that’s fairly impressive, don’t you think?
Despite his untimely death, he continues to influence people and there are several websites dedicated to Bruce Lee around the world.
In his relatively short life, he was credited with many inspirational quotes, so I thought today I’d share a few of these with you, dear reader.
