He has skill and according to his life story got into many street fight although he never competed. In the late 60's early 70's he developed Jeet Kune Do which really was the first freestyle art ever. He was a great martial artist not only an actor.

Jeet kune do is crap. Along the same lines I saw a Wing Chun demonstration at a community centre today, I nearly laughed myself silly.

Didn't Bruce Lee start that sort of thing in the Movies? I mean, he died in 1971 or something. Kung f.u or whatever?

Christ the language filter on this site is ridiculous. Kung "foo" becomes "Kung dam you". Why is everyone so touchy with the F-word?

He developed Jeet Kune Do because he thought the traditional martial arts where too predictable, including wing chun.

I think I saw Enter the Dragon in Melbourne in 1975, everyone came out of that movie theatre kicking and punching and making strange cat noises.

It was really unbelievable, haven't seen anything like it since.

Well may be the cult following of the rocky horror show at 12:00am in the cinemas on a Friday night

rubbish ... he in fact put many traditional martial artists to shame. They tried to stop him by sending one of their best to fight him, Wong Jack Man, but Lee kicked his butt. After that the traditionalists were to scared to challenge further.

Don't look at today's martial artists trained in Australia and try to compare them with how they were trained in Hong Kong 50 or 60 yrs ago. These days it's a business, they grade students that don't deserve it merely because they make more money doing so ... back then, money wasn't a motivator. I watched a video of a real life training session from Japan in the 70s. When the instructor wanted to demonstrate a knock out, he knocked the students out cold, when the students came back to they would thank him ... no trainer would dare try that in Australia for fear of being sued.
