Default Bruce Lee Master of the Martial way.

I believe that Bruce Lee in a relatively short space of time set a bench mark for us all to strive to achieve. He made me realise that as a fighhter a Martial Artist must be a well rounded individual and consider all aspects of personal athletic developement physically. His phylosophy has ruffled alot of traditional beliefs and has stirred up and prevoked alot of positive thoughts. All in all he has had a very positive effect on the Martial Arts world.

Now looking back I can see that he had a very strong influence on many others as well as myself. He in a way was like a real life super hero that in many others eyes, and also in my own only ever did good things for the Martial Arts. Some people may disagree with my oppinion but I saw Bruce Lee as being a bit like an on screen prophet trying to teach everyone and let people understand his way of life as a Martial Artist.

To me Bruce Lee was a person that as a Martial Artist almost every disciplined individual when focussed can aspire to emulate.. By way of his discipline and focus applied to whatever he chose to do Bruce Lee proved that if you have faith in your chosen path or way then the almost impossible can be achieved.

Does anyone know of a website that I can get a reasonably priced good quality Kung Fu suit and some decent flails?

Does anyone have any rare Bruce Lee footage links they can share with us?

I am in agreement with you. He was indeed a very rare jewel which opened the eyes of many. He even stepped on many toes along the way. In a very popular way, he was a rebel or revolutionary; he was not afraid to go against the status quo. It is said that he lived such a short period of time. Although, his philosophy and the principle for which he stood will live a 1000yrs.

He did ruffel alot of feathers, but for the right reasons. I think he, like you say, was as well as everything else, a lovable rogue that will remain a legand until his philosophy and priciples are proved invalid in this life which won't happen soon.

I wonder if Bruce Lee, ever tried to gel his hair, or at least style it in a certain way (I'm not sure when Gel first came out). Or if he ever tried to bleach it blonde.

The guy was no metrosexual. Although he did like cars and stylish clothes. I don't even think they had L'Oreal gel in the 60's..

60's eh!!! hmmmm....

Do you think, that on halloween, Bruce Lee went trick or treating, and occasionally egg'd (threw eggs at) a couple of kids, or got edd'd himself.


I'm pretty sure Bruce was a hardcore 'Red Dwarf' fan of the TV series here in the UK, although I have no proof to back it up.

Whos Monkey's Kid.

I saw the tv series of Monkey, as in the cult series on the Legendary Monkey God from China. He was a bundle. But never heard of his kid.
