His father Lee Hoi Cheun was a lot of famous actor in Hong Kong and at that time was on tour in the U.S. In 1941 the Lee family returned in the birthplace of Kawlon in a village in Hong Kong.

I know that six million of his admirers are convinced that Bruce was born with a special body; have been able to see express its extraordinary strength, to observe its agility, while study contraeva muscles extraordinarily defined.
Many of them simply do not believe me when I explain that Bruce has built his extraordinary physical exclusively through the application and force of will, that is, through the intense training.

Bruce Lee had a really physical - and I mean really - defined. He had very little fat mass. He was probably one of the coefficients of fat mass lower than any other athlete exists. And I believe that this is why here had something so credible. There are many people who made the same moves and they are really capable, but visually so are neither credible nor so impressive as Bruce Lee. Was it really unique. He was an idol for many people. The incredible thing about a person like him is that became a source of inspiration for millions and millions of kids who want to follow his example. What they want to become experts in martial arts, they want to make films. So this is what they do and train every day for hours and hours. One as Bruce Lee gives incredible inspiration, which helps many children around the world. He had a profound impact and immense worldwide, and I believe that this will be admired for a very long time to come.

He had created himself. He had carved himself, with his muscles and tonic was adjusted to what he was doing at that time. The last time I saw him was in a condition practically perfect: his skin was like velvet, was smooth and he had something fantastic.

Ultimately all forms of knowledge leading to knowledge of oneself. So these people who ask me to teach them not so much to defend themselves or how to be someone. They want rather learn to express themselves through movement, which is anger, determination or anything else. So, in other words, I pay to show their form of combat, the art of expressing the human body.

Training for the strength and flexibility is essential. You have to use them to help the execution of your techniques. The techniques by themselves are not of any use if not support with the strength and flexibility.

 

If you are talking about sport, is one thing. But when it comes to fighting - because of its nature - then bè, beauty, is better than alleni every part of the body.

 

Above all, not truffate in any year; use the weight you can handle without excessive effort.

 

My real strength is dall'addome. It is the center of gravity and the source of true power.

 

We should not forget a training of the neck and shoulders.

 

Develop your legs up to their strength and flexibility.

 

Do you think a fight is one shot? A football? As long as you're not able to perform combinations together without even thinking about it until we understand how to keep moving and have a resistance, take a bodyguard or lead a life more peaceful.

 

I relax until I have to use all the muscles of my body and then concentrate all the strength in my fist. To generate a great force is necessary first to relax completely and gather the forces, and then concentrate the mind and in full force hit the target.

 

When practice martial arts, you must eat only one under Need and not let you take from foods that you do not do any good as practicing martial arts.

The death of Bruce Lee

" The body of Lee, until chin wrapped in a white silk fabric, lying stiff and wooden in a bronze coffin, with gray face and altered that even a wise trick was able to make less dramatic. A voice proclaimed in Chinese: A star is tuffata in the great sea of the art "

At ten o'clock in the evening of July 21, 1973, now in Singapore; spegneva to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Hong Kong, the star vivissima Lee Hsiao Long, known worldwide as BRUCE LEE.
As a meteor luminossisima, Bruce Lee was balzato prepotentemente at the top of the reputation as the greatest interpreter of modern Kung fu, leaving dismayed then, with its mysterious and sudden death, millions of admirers.
At only 32 years, Bruce Lee entered thus became part of legend, a legend brought on the wings of celluloid that has made him a symbol: invincible, incredible, unstoppable.
The simple fantasy of the highway has created a new kind of myth: the hero who has no weapon except his courage and his strength.
is useless to say that the legend of a invicibilità supported only by physical training had to have taken a huge audience. Bruce Lee was indeed good that the hero with bare hands defeats the bad dozens, the little dragon vendicatore sheltering the wrongs, a hero, however, that no final escape and violent as a death sentence, agile and fulmineo like 'instinct, often sweet and naive as a child. He had met an incredible benefit to the general public of every color and every generation that in him convogliava a primitive thirst for justice covered peel of a sore anhreuliedig civilization.

Outside the stereotype, the good fortune to Bruce Lee was born not from scratch as a pure artifice scenic, but was instead the result of a serious and intensive work of study and refinement strongly willed and meditated in the field of martial arts. Not for nothing "go ahead" was his motto, a principle that applied in all circumstances.
