Bruce Lee - Jeet Kune Do and Enter The Dragon
My favorite fighter of all time is Bruce Lee. He was the quickest fighter in the world in my opinion. If he was alive still today I am sure he would have developed his fighting style Jeet Kune Do into the best fighting style ever.
Sadly, on July 20th, in 1973, just 3 weeks before his block buster movie Enter the Dragon was released, Bruce Lee took a pill for his aches and pains and laid down to rest and never woke up again!
The world has truly been blessed by the angel of Bruce Lee!
Bruce Lee and Jeet Kune Do
Jeet Kune Do means Way of the Intercepting Fist
He later gave this form or system of his a name and he began teaching this "way" or style to others who he felt was worthy to teach. He would also teach his Jeet Kune Do to others while they taught their style to him!
Lets let Bruce Lee himself explain this a little more!
These are his own quotes!
Jeet Kune Do is training and discipline towards the ultimate reality in combat.
Jeet Kune Do is the only non-classical style of Chinese Kung Fu in existence today. It is simple in its execution, although not so simple to explain. Jeet means 'to stop, to stem, to intercept,' while Kune means 'fist' or 'style,' and Do means 'the way' or 'the ultimate reality.' In other words--'The Way of the Intercepting Fist.'
Even after Bruce Lee's untimely death, his Jeet Kune Do and his legacy has lived on. There are schools open today that teach this system to others.
Another Bruce Lee quote. (my personal favorite!)
Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend.

What happened to Bruce Lee

Braithwaite believes Han uses his tournaments as cover for narcotic and prostitution activities. Lee reluctantly agrees to enter the tournament, but his reluctance to confront Han disappears when a Shaolin monk reveals that during the previous staging of this tournament, he and Lee's sister were accosted by several toughs led by Han's personal bodyguard, an American named O'Hara.

Bruce Lee changed the face of martial arts forever. He brought it to the United States in a BIG way and showed that it is alright to mix different styles. Although this book is not a "how to", as most people think of it as, it is an outline of Bruce Lee's thoughts and theories and opened my eyes to MANY things I did not know or think of before reading. If you don't have it, get it. Even if you do not practice Jeet Kune Do, it should be read by YOU! Also recommended are "Bruce Lee's Fighting Method" series, which are technique-based.

Quotes from Bruce Lee
Bruce Lee - The Chinese Philosopher
Listed below are some quotes from Bruce Lee himself!
Bruce about his goals he wanted to achieve
I, Bruce Lee, will be the highest paid Oriental superstar in the United States. In return, I will give the most exciting performances and render the best quality in the capacity of an actor. Starting in 1970, I will achieve world fame and from then onward till the end of 1989 I will have in my possession $10,000,000. Then I will live the way I please and achieve inner harmony and happiness.
Bruce about being dedicated
Dedication, absolute dedication, is what keeps one ahead-a sort of indomitable obsessive dedication and the realization that there is no end or limit to this because life is simply an ever-growing process, an ever-renewing process.
Bruce on his own personal growth
Ever since I was a child I have had this instinctive urge for expansion and growth. To me, the function of and duty of a quality human is the sincere and honest development of one's potential.
I have come to discover through earnest personal experience and dedicated learning that ultimately the greatest help is self-help-doing one's best, dedicating one's self wholeheartedly to a given task, which happens to have no end but is an on-going process.

The real story continues below!
Bruce Lee Quote Poster

Bruce's parents gave him the name "Jun Fan." Since it is Chinese custom to put the surname first, Bruce's full name is written Lee Jun Fan. The true meaning of Jun Fan deserves an explanation as it, too, would foretell the journey of the newly born Lee son. Literally, JUN means "to arouse to the active state" or "to make prosperous." It was a common middle name used by Hong Kong Chinese boys in those days, understandably because China and the Chinese people were very vulnerable at that time, and everyone, including Bruce's parents, wanted the "sleeping lion of the East" to wake up. The FAN syllable refers to the Chinese name for San Francisco, but its true meaning is "fence of a garden" or "bordering subordinate countries of a big country." During the period of the Ching Dynasty (1644-1911), many Chinese immigrated to Hawaii and San Francisco as laborers, and the
implication became that the United States was FAN of the Great Ching Empire. Thus the true meaning of Bruce's name--JUN FAN--was "to arouse and make FAN (the United States) prosperous." The gut feeling of many Chinese at that time, who felt suppressed by and inferior to foreign powers, was that they wished to outshine the more superior countries and regain the Golden Age of China. Bruce's parents wanted Bruce to have his name shine and shake the foreign countries, which he certainly succeeded in doing.
The English name, BRUCE, was given to the baby boy by a nurse in the Jackson Street Hospital although he was never to use this name until he entered secondary school and began his study of the English language.
Bruce Lee Quote: Do not be tense, just be ready, not thinking but not dreaming, not being set but being flexible. It is being "wholly" and quietly alive, aware and alert, ready for whatever may come.
The danger of training with the heavy bag is that it doesn't react to one's attack and sometimes there is a tendency to thoughtlessness. One will punch the bag carelessly, and would be vulnerable in a real situation if this became a habit.
At the age of three months, Lee Hoi Chuen, his wife Grace and baby Bruce returned to Hong Kong where Bruce would be raised until the age of 18. Probably because of the long ocean voyage and the change in climates, Bruce was not a strong child in his very early years, a condition that would change when he took up the study of gung fu at the age of 13. (Bruce always spelled his Chinese martial art as GUNG FU, which is the Cantonesepronunciation of the more commonly spelled Kung Fu, a Mandarin pronunciation.) Bruce's most prominent memory of his early years was the occupation of Hong Kong by the Japanese during the World War II years (1941-1945). The residence of the Lee family was a flat at 218 Nathan Road in Kowloon directly across the street
from the military encampment of the Japanese. Bruce's mother often told the story of young Bruce, less than 5 Please click here to read the rest of the official Bruce Lee Biography!
