About

Bruce Lee

one of the most influential martial artists of the 20th century Bruce Lee is iconic for his presentation of Chinese martial arts to the non-Chinese world. His films, especially performance in the Hollywood-produced Enter the Dragon, elevated the traditional Hong Kong martial arts film to a new level of popularity. The direction and tone of his films changed and influenced martial arts and martial arts films. Lee became an iconic figure particularly to Chinese, he portrayed Chinese national pride and Chinese nationalism in his movies. Lee began the process of creating his own martial arts fighting system based on philosophy known as Jeet Kune Do. Bruce Lee's evaluation of traditional martial arts doctrines is nowadays seen by many as the first step into the modern style of mixed martial arts
