About Bruce Lee
Bruce Lee created a legacy of excellence in martial arts filmmaking that is unmatched to this day. Born in San Francisco and raised in Hong Kong, Lee “Xiao-long” or “Little Dragon” successfully bridged the gap between East and West, making him a cultural icon throughout the globe. Tragically lost to the world at the early age of 32, Bruce Lee established himself as a permanent fixture in the galaxy of international stars.
Bruce Lee considered himself an actor by profession and a martial artist by passion. Combining physical techniques with scientific principles and encompassing an underlying philosophy, Bruce Lee created an efficient discipline of martial arts that allows for ultimate freedom of the individual.
