The one person you absolutely, positively do NOT want to get into a fight with.
Founder of Jeet Kune Do, he was also a philosopher and teacher. He opened the doors for many people of Asian descent, and gave Western culture a better perspective on Asian culture and philosophy through his movies. Many younger people may confuse him as some early Chinese martial arts actor, but he was so much more outside the movies he made.

My friend, who's a big fan of Bruce Lee, once told me a dream he had of him getting his ass kicked by Mr. Lee. He actually liked the dream.

1. a well-known martial artist who entered Hollywood and became one of the most respected Chinese-American in US history, because all the white people were afraid they would get their ass kicked if they made fun of him. He barely had no body fat and his kicks would send people literally flying. Sadly, his tragic death was mysterious. Nobody knows to this day.
2. To kick someone's ass with great skill and techniques. (referring to Bruce Lee kicking a lot of asses)

Bruce Jun Fan Lee (November 27, 1940 – July 20, 1973) was a Chinese American martial artist and martial arts actor widely regarded as one of the most influential martial artists of the 20th century. Lee's films, especially his performance in the Hollywood-produced Enter the Dragon, elevated the traditional Hong Kong martial arts film to a new level. His pioneering efforts paved the way for future martial artists and martial arts actors such as Jackie Chan, Jet Li and Chuck Norris.
Lee's movies sparked the first major surge of interest in Chinese martial arts in the West. The direction and tone of his films changed and influenced martial arts and martial arts films in Hong Kong, China, and the rest of the world. Lee became an iconic figure particularly to Chinese; as he portrayed Chinese national pride and Chinese nationalism in his movies.1
Many see Lee as a model blueprint for acquiring a strong and efficient body as well as developing a mastery of martial arts and hand to hand combat skills. Lee began the process of creating his own fighting system known as Jeet Kune Do. Bruce Lee's evaluation of traditional martial arts doctrines is nowadays seen as the first step into the modern style of mixed martial arts.

Another way to spell his name is b.a.d.a.s.s
He could kick Norris' ass. He did in one of his movies....I forget which one. He probably still could kill Norris...and he's been dead for like 30 something years...

Most revoulutinary martial artists in a very long time. Extremely intellegent. One of the only martial artists in his time to search for new and better ways of fighting rather then be casuth up by traditiononal ways. One of the reasons he was hated by so many other martial artists of his time. He re-invented the fighting movie by giving the more realistic fights and portrayed his philosophies of fighting/life in them. Died at an early age. Despite what some people say (like ????'s defintion which is completly wrong btw) he died from a cerbal adema which is a swelling of the brain. The casue is unknown but there are many theroies. Bruce Lee was and still is the greastest fighter ever. Also my role model =)
???? you got it all wrong stop listning to rumors and telling them like there fact!

Legendary martial artist who went on to star in several movies, and the only person who could really give Chuck Norris a run for his money.
