About me: I was an American-born martial artist, philosopher, instructor, actor and the founder of the Jeet Kune Do martial arts system, widely regarded as the most influential martial artist of the 20th century. I was the loving father husband to Brandon Lee, Shannon Lee and Linda Lee.
I was born in San Francisco, California and raised in Hong Kong. My Hong Kong and Hollywood-produced films elevated the traditional Hong Kong martial arts film to a new level of popularity and acclaim, and sparked the first major surge of interest in Chinese martial arts in the West. The direction and tone of my films changed and influenced martial arts and martial arts films in Hong Kong and the rest of the world as well. I became an iconic figure particularly to the Chinese, as I portrayed Chinese national pride and Chinese nationalism in my movies. Many see me as a model blueprint for acquiring a strong and efficient body and the highest possible level of physical fitness, as well as developing a mastery of martial arts and hand to hand combat skills.

--------"Ultimately, martial art means honestly expressing yourself. It is easy for me to put on a show and be cocky so I can show you some really fancy movement. But to express oneself honestly, not lying to oneself, and to express myself honestly enough; that, my friend, is very hard to do."
--------Fighting is not something sought after, yet it is something that seeks you."
-------"Be formless...shapeless, like water.If you put water into a cup,it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle; it becomes the bottle. You put it into a teapot; it becomes the teapot.Water can flow, and it can crash. Be like water, my friend..."
-------"Jeet Kune Do: it's just a name; don't fuss over it. There's no such thing as a style if you understand the roots of combat."
-------"True observation begins when one is devoid of set patterns."
-------"Some people are tall; some are short.Some are stout;some are slim.There are various different kinds of people. If all of them learn the same martial art form,then who does it fit?"
