"The best fighter is not a boxer, a karateka or a judoka. The best fighter is someone who can adapt to any style of fighting. "
(Bruce Lee)
Bruce Jun Fan Lee (Chinese traditional 李小龙, pinyin Xiǎolóng Li, San Francisco, November 27, 1940 - Hong Kong, 20 July 1973) was a Chinese actor, martial artist, philosopher. Born in San Francisco and grown up in Hong Kong, Lee is the most remembered actor in the world for the presentation of Chinese martial arts. His films, produced in Hong Kong and Hollywood, elevated them to a new level, for the first time and suddenly increasing the interest in this type of discipline in the West. Lee became an icon especially for the Chinese, as a portrait of national pride. Some saw Lee as a model for acquiring a strong and efficient body and a high level of physical fitness, while developing skills in close combat. Despite the violent content of his films, Bruce was actually a peaceful person and against the use of martial arts as a means of offence and leadership.
