[Edit this paragraph] About Bruce Lee
Bruce Lee was born in San Francisco and spent his childhood and adolescence in Hongkong. Bruce Lee was very thin when he was young. His father taught his son to practice Tai Ji Chuan when he was seven years old, because he was very strong. /kloc-at the age of 0/3, Bruce Lee studied Wing Chun Boxing with the master IP Man system, and set up a stake at home, practicing diligently against the stake every day. In addition, he also practiced Hongquan, Baihe Boxing, Tan Leg, Shaolin Boxing, Poke Foot and other boxing methods, which laid a solid foundation for later creating Jeet Kune Do.
In order to improve the level of martial arts, Bruce Lee not only learned China's boxing, but also learned western boxing. When attending the western boxing training class, he bought a documentary about the boxing match of world champion Louis with his pocket money, from which he learned the footwork, posture, boxing and training methods of the champion. He also often participated in boxing competitions inside and outside the school, constantly enriching his actual combat experience, and went to the United States for further study and created his own Jeet Kune Do.
Afraid that Bruce Lee would fail in school, when 18 years old, Bruce Lee's parents decided to send Bruce Lee to study in the United States. Bruce Lee's life in Seattle is quite hard. After he entered the university, he devoted all his energy to studying martial arts besides studying. He organized a "China Kung Fu Team" at school, and often trained and performed on campus, which won unanimous praise from teachers and students.
Through continuous improvement, Bruce Lee gradually became proficient in Kung Fu and even reached a higher level. Among them, "Li", "Cunquan" and "Hooking Hands" are his unique skills. Bruce Lee is a generalist. In addition to being proficient in all kinds of boxing, he is also good at various instruments such as long sticks, short sticks and nunchakus, and also learns qigong and hard work.
In order to promote China Wushu, Bruce Lee rented a corner of a parking lot on campus in his sophomore year and hung the sign of "Fan Zhen National Art Museum". He practiced while teaching, worked hard and made great progress in technology, especially in leg skills. In Fan Zhen National Art Museum, he met Linda, a female medical student who came to study martial arts. After more than a year of contact, they gradually developed feelings. 1In August, 964, they formally got married. After marriage, Bruce Lee and his wife both dropped out of school and started a martial arts school together.
Since the news that Bruce Lee subdued four knife-wielding gangsters in Chinatown, Florida, and bravely saved a girl from China was reported in newspapers, Bruce Lee's name has spread all over the United States, and TV stations such as Florida have invited him to perform leg skills, and China Kung Fu has attracted much attention. And the Fan Zhenguo Art Museum he founded has gradually flourished. In order to expand his influence, Bruce Lee often participated in martial arts competitions in various places, and successively set up martial arts branches and apprentices in Seattle, Oakland and Los Angeles. The scale and equipment of Wushu Museum are constantly improving, and many outstanding Wushu stars in the world, such as American karate champion Rolex, are vying to worship him as a teacher, and famous Hollywood movie stars such as James Henping and Steve are his disciples. World champion Ali also paid a visit to exchange experiences with him. American boxers of various factions often gather in the martial arts school in Bruce Lee to learn martial arts, and his aim of "making friends with martial arts" has achieved the expected results. Set foot in the film industry, kung fu shocked the world.
In the early 1970s, a wave of China Kung Fu movies swept the world. Bruce Lee's resounding name shocked the whole world.
197 1 In the summer of, Bruce Lee accepted the invitation of Hong Kong Golden Harvest Film Company and signed two films, with a pay of 15000 USD. The first one is "Tangshan Mobile" with the theme of China Wushu. The budget of this film is only $654.38 million+10,000, and the script is also written while shooting. In this case, it set a record for the highest box office since the opening of Hong Kong, reaching HK$ 3 million. After "Tangshan Mobile", Bruce Lee filmed Jingwumen, which doubled the budget compared with "Tangshan Mobile" and caused a greater sensation. Bruce Lee's fearless spirit and amazing fighting skills in the film, especially his performances of "Li Sanjiao", "Lie Quan" and "Nunchaku", are full of praise. Since then, Bruce Lee set up Concord Film Company, wrote, directed and acted in the films "The Raptor Crossing the River" and "The Game of Death", and co-produced "enter the dragon" with Warner Film Company of the United States, and personally starred in the leading role. Just as Bruce Lee was ambitious to finish filming The Game of Death, 1973 died suddenly in Hongkong on July 20th at the age of 32 due to drug allergy.
Because of his outstanding contributions to martial arts and movies, Bruce Lee was rated as one of the seven greatest martial artists in the world by the international authoritative martial arts magazines Black Belt 1972 and 1973. 1972 was also rated as one of the top ten stars in Hong Kong. American newspapers praised him as "forbidden kingdom", Japanese people called him "the saint of martial arts", and Hong Kong newspapers praised him as "a wizard in the history of contemporary China martial arts and movies". In the United States, Japan, Britain, Hongkong, China, Taiwan Province Province, China and other countries or regions, various magazines and special issues commemorating Bruce Lee were published at the same time, and they all called him "the most effective person to promote China Wushu".
Bruce Lee's life is short, but like a dazzling comet, he has made great contributions to the development of modern martial arts and film performing arts. His kung fu films are popular overseas, and China's kung fu is famous all over the world. The new word "Kung Fu" appears in many foreign language dictionaries and dictionaries. In the eyes of many foreigners, Kung Fu is China Wushu, and Bruce Lee has become the incarnation of Kung Fu. Many foreign martial arts masters, karate fighters and Thai boxing masters have admitted after watching the kung fu films starring Bruce Lee: "Bruce Lee does have real kung fu." Indeed, few eastern martial artists can break through the national and racial fields like Bruce Lee, and his prestige remains undiminished after his death.
Bruce Lee is versatile, both literary and martial arts. Whenever he practices martial arts, he is immersed in the study of martial arts theory and training methods. Before his death, he left seven martial arts notes and six manuscripts: Jeet Kune Do, Research on Jeet Kune Do, Kung Fu Record, Two-section Stick Technique, Illustration of Bruce Lee Boxing (English version) and Bruce Lee Martial Arts Techniques (English version). Martial arts magazines all over the world are still studying and introducing his martial arts, and martial arts lovers all over the world still admire him. Looking back on Bruce Lee's life as a martial arts legend in China, people will always miss his sincere heart of loving the Chinese nation, inspiring its spirit and yearning for its prosperity.
There is no doubt that Bruce Lee is a natural superstar, a legend among legends.
Although he has passed away for a long time, Bruce Lee is still synonymous with Kung Fu, and even Jackie Chan, who is famous all over the world, can hardly surpass him. His talent, his integrity and his brilliance have all become unrepeatable myths. Thirty-two years old, five movies, enough to eclipse the bright meteor. I don't know when someone will write such an oriental legend.
Bruce Lee's daughter Li Xiangning clarified her misunderstanding about Bruce Lee.
Li Xiangning listed the facts she clarified one by one, which corrected some misunderstandings about Bruce Lee and Bruce Lee's death over the years. But the most touching thing is that as a daughter, she talked about clarifying these facts several times, because "this can't go against Bruce Lee's ideas". Some "misunderstandings" are as follows:
1. Bruce Lee never learned nunchakus in Enoch Mountain.
"Yes, many documents mentioned that my father learned nunchakus from Enoch Mountain, but this is not true. My father taught himself nunchakus. I will give you more accurate information as soon as possible. "
Bruce Lee has never been trained in western boxing. People say that Bruce Lee practiced boxing in physical education class in middle school.
"I don't think my dad took part in boxing training in high school."
3. Bruce Lee has never played against Kimura and never lost to karate.
"If it is, it's just two people practicing martial arts."
4. It turns out that Bruce Lee died while filming The Game of Death.
"My father didn't shoot" The Game of Death "and went to shoot" enter the dragon ". He didn't continue to shoot the death game and died. "
5. Clarify that Bruce Lee has never participated in the "Long Island International Competition" and has never won the championship. He just went to perform.
"My father didn't take part in these competitions (or any competitions) because, philosophically speaking, he thought such competitions didn't conform to the concept of martial arts. He doesn't believe in fighting, because real boxing has no rules. Therefore, he has never performed in these competitions and has never participated in them. Therefore, I think it is best not to show his performance in any competition, no matter what name he uses, because it goes against his philosophy. If you want him to take part in the competition, that would be great. "
