Bruce Lee... who has not heard about him?. He was born in 1940, during the time when his father had gone to San Francisco to perform a show. You see, his old man was a Chinese actor and opera singer who was part of a travelling troupe. His Name was Lee Hoi Chuen, and had arrived to America with his pregnant wife Grace and his children. Bruce was conceived in the Jackson Street Memorial Hospital. He was called Jun Fan, which means ¨return again¨. Notwithstanding, he was given the English name Bruce by the doctor attending delivery. He grew up in Hong Kong and was a rebellious child. He was constantly getting into trouble due to getting involved in street fights during his adolescence. Ergo, his parents decided to send him to San Francisco when he turned 18. It was going to be good for him to change his environment. Indeed it was. While in America, he decided to finish high school. After a few months in San Francisco (1959), he moved to Seattle and enroll at  Washington Universty. He majored in drama and not philosophy as many claimed. Besides, he continued to train Kung Fu too. He actually learned martial arts when he was 14 and discovered to have an innate talent for it. Since then, he never stopped practicing. His style of fighting at the beginning was Wing Chun. Not only was Burce good at Kung Fu, but also at dancing. I neglected to mention that he won a Hong Kong Cha-cha competition back in 1958. He met his future wife Linda Emery while in college. She was majoring in education and fell in love with Bruce shortly after they met. In 1964, the got married and had two children (Brandon and Shannon). Bruce had done various gigs right after he left Hong Kong. He went from giving private Cha-cha lessons to first class passengers in the ship which he took to go to the US, to working as a waiter in Seattle. Be that as it may, his passion for Martial Arts never faded. He opened up a small school in 1960 in Seattle´s China Town. He would take in any kind of student. Whether they were Chinese or not. Even though it was a tradition not to teach Kung Fu to not Asians during that time, Bruce showed no discrimination whatsoever. He even started a school at Washington University´s campus. In 1964 he decided to drop out of school and move to California to pursue an acting career. Soon after he got the part for Kato, who was Green Hornet´s sidekick in 1966. He took part in several other TV shows and movies. Such as Batman, Longstreet, Fists of Fury and Enter the Dragon. One of his signature moves was his one inch-punch. By the way, Bruce kept on teaching even during his stardom years. He started a third school in Seattle´s China town in 1966. It was called ¨Jun Fan Gung Fu institute¨ after his name. Lee passed on while his last film ¨Game of Death¨ was in progress. Apparently he died from an edema in his brain at the age of 32. Overall, he was a great man who confounded and inspired many generations of martial artists. He was so good as to dwarf the skilled fighter Chuck Norris in the film ¨Way of the Dragon¨(1972). We can all agree that Bruce may have started out being a mischievous boy who would get admonish in school all the time. Nonetheless, we can also concur with the fact the he found his balance and became the best martial artist of his time.
