Hey y’all,
Dragon claws...
Bruce Lee was a hero of mine when I was a kid and as I’ve gotten older the man has continued to interest and inspire me. He’s always been an icon of the martial arts and in my own training in tae kwon do, boxing and kung fu, Bruce’s influence was always present. As I got older I also studied the fighting philosophy behind his Jeet Kune Do system and was fascinated to find Lee hinting at that long sought after alchemical treasure of the martial arts: the ultimate style.
The documentary How Bruce Lee Changed the World shows that Lee’s influence reached far beyond kung fu films to affect the worlds of hip-hop, body building and fitness, action films, philosophy, advertising, boxing, MMA and more. A definitive examination of the man, his accomplishments and his impact, this History Channel documentary features interviews with Lee’s family and friends as well as famous admirers like Jackie Chan, John Woo, The RZA and more.
As an added bonus, here is Robert Lee – Bruce’s brother – singing a song in memory of The Dragon.
