Bruce Lee, the best of
martial arts
Before Jackie Chan,
Jet Li, Steven Seagal and Jean-Claude Van Damme, there was Bruce Lee.
In a sense, it is a shame that many of today's generation of action
film fans have never been exposed to Bruce Lee because he was perhaps the greatest martial
arts action hero of all time. His martial arts in the film may not be as fancy as say Jackie Chan and
Jet Li, but his ferocity on the screen and charisma are unmatched. Even more
important was the impact on martial arts Bruce Lee had which still exists today, even more than 30 years since his death.
Bruce Lee himself a
martial artist first and a second actor ever considered.
As a martial artist who was ahead of his time developing his own martial
arts he called Jeet Kune Do style. His martial
arts incorporated the most practical techniques from various fighting disciplines
as he moved away from traditional and classic techniques. His martial
arts skills were real and respected by other prominent martial artists like Jhoon Rhee, Chuck Norris, Ed Parker and Joe Lewis. His name was included in the prestigious Black Belt Hall of Fame twice, when he was alive and the other after his death. These are honors that no other martial
arts action hero never approached. Martial arts in North America has experienced tremendous growth in enrollment because of Bruce Lee.
North America has a first index of Bruce Lee when he played Kato in the TV series The Green Hornet and
a small film role in Marlowe. He went to Hong Kong and made some movies like Fists of Fury (called the Big Boss
in the Asian market) and the Chinese connection it a big star
in Asia did. Bruce Lee also wrote, directed and starred in his own movie production called the Way of the Dragon which featured perhaps one of the greatest martial
arts fight scenes at once. This scene took place at the Coliseum in Rome and was with Chuck Norris Norris gave his debut as
a film. It was the dragon that broke in North America. Unfortunately, he died tragically at age 32
in 1973 before he could witness the success of this film. At the time of Lee's death, he finished the fight scenes from another movie called Game of Death, which featured basketball star Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who was actually one of his martial
arts students. Other students of Bruce Lee included actors Steve McQueen and James Coburn. Game of Death was made with actors imitating later.
One of the most significant contributions Bruce Lee made is that it has opened the door for other Asians in the entertainment industry worldwide. He was the first Asian to achieve significant success in the American entertainment scene. He became a
star in North America and around the world playing heroes rather than past stereotypical roles for Asians as
servants, gangsters, laundry workers or other persons horse tail piece.
On an even larger scale, Bruce Lee gave Asians, particularly the Chinese people around the world,
a source of pride. Bruce Lee encouraged to have
confidence in the desire to achieve your goals,
no matter what field you are
