How much do you know about Bruce Lee?

I know LOADS... when Bruce first become famous my brother was a HUGE fan... so we got to know everything about him, his wife, his many affairs, his drug use, his son... you name it..over the years...
 
I didn't know too much about him until I began training in Pai Lum White Dragon Kung Fu. Then by reading martial arts magazines, I became aware that Kung fu had been basic training and that he had invented his own style of fighting which he called Jeet Kune Do which was based on flexibility and the amalgamation of many different styles. ,

Jeet Kune Do (Chinese: 截拳道; "way of the intercepting fist"; abbreviated JKD) is a hybrid martial art conceived and practiced by martial artist Bruce Lee. It was formed from Lee's experiences in unarmed fighting and self-defense—as well as eclectic, Zen Buddhist and Taoist philosophies—as a new school of martial arts thought.

The core of Jeet Kune Do is the interception of the opponent, making corresponding responses or counterattacks that strike at incoming attacks. JKD also incorporates a set of principles to help practitioners make instant decisions and improve the physical and mental self,being intended to have practical applications in life without the traditional routines and metaphysics of conventional martial arts. As an eclectic martial art, it relies on a fighting style heavily influenced by Wing Chun, Tai Chi, taekwondo, boxing, fencing and jujutsu.

Bruce Lee himself never formalized Jeet Kune Do before he died. This forced later JKD practitioners to rely upon their own interpretation of the philosophy created by Bruce Lee.
