Bruce Lee Lives On, Even After His Untimely Death In 1973
Man, on this day exactly 37 years ago in Hong Kong, the most influential martial artist and martial arts movie star died at the young age of only 32.
The world knew him as Bruce Lee, aka Little Dragon. He was born in San Francisco in 1940, but he and his family moved (back) to Hong Kong while he was still very young.
And even though it’s been almost four decades since he passed on, Bruce Lee still lives on in so many ways, because he has been able to touch millions of people through his acting and teachings.
I for myself can honestly say that it was Bruce Lee on the big screen that got me hooked on martial arts (in my case Shotokan karate for starters).
This post is not intended to be about me or even to re-hash Bruce Lee’s biography, but what I would love to hear your stories and experience about getting started in martial arts, self-defense training and how Bruce Lee affected your life.
I will leave you with this video clip as a tribute to honor Bruce Lee’s life and accomplishments:

I actually first got into Bruce Lee when seeing the biopic “Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story” (which is a great movie in and of itself).

Thanks for sharing, Keith.
I enjoyed that movie, too.
For me, I think it must have been around the mid 70s that I first saw a Bruce Lee movie (Fist of Fury?) after having seen him as Kato (The Green Hornet) in the late 60s.
Thanks again for writing in.
Great movie. What I learned from Bruce Lee–throw all your passion into everything you do.

I agree with you, Matt.
Bruce Lee certainly did embody the notion of throwing all your passion into everything you do.
Something I picked just a couple of years ago, “The way you anything is the way you do everything.” Hmm, …
Thank you so much for writing in.
