Some Facts
Was an accomplished dancer and Hong Kong cha cha cha champion.
His development of Jeet Kune Do came partially out of an incident with his school. A rival martial artist challenged him to a duel over his decision to teach non-Chinese students. Lee accepted the challenge and won the duel but later thought that the fight took too long because his martial art technique was too rigid and formalistic. Thus he decided to develop a better system with an emphasis on practicality and flexibility.
Developed his martial art style called Jeet Kune Do (Way of the Intercepting Fist) which is more of an idea of being flexible and practical with learning martial arts
Once performed a kick so fast it had be slowed down by editors for fear it would look like it was sped up.
Was only 160 pounds at his heaviest.
Personal Quotes
When an opportunity in a fight presents itself, "I" don't hit, "it" hits all by itself.

I have always been a martial artist by choice, an actor by profession, but above all, am actualising myself to be an artist of life.

Martial art is ultimately an athletic expression of the dynamic human body. More important yet, is the person who is expressing his own soul.
