Short Resume
You may know him as Mr. Vampire or Magic Cop or as a Taoist priest or killer martial artist. He was all of these things and more!
He was born in Hong Kong and originally named Lam Gun-Bo. He went to elementary school for two years at the Shun Yi Association Elementary School then moved on to Madame Fan Fok Fa's(Fan Guk Fa's) Peking Opera School for five years.
At the age of 17 he became a martial arts coach and stuntman for Hong Kong's film industry.
Because of his small stature he doubled for many actresses such as the ultra cool Cheng Pei Pei. Within two years he became a martial arts director on films such as The Chinese Connection and Return of the Dragon. you can see him in cameo appearances in these films as well! During this time he was also acting in films such as Winners And Sinners, and Prodigal Son and was a member of Sammo Hung's Stuntman Association AKA Hung Ga Ban.
He trained Michelle Yeoh early in her career (during Yes Madam)
To top things off, this multi-talented artist decided to seize the reigns as director. One Eyebrow Priest and Green Hornet 1994 were in his resume.
He will be missed greatly. Send your prayers and burn some hellnotes for this superstar.

Martial Arts
i have been doing tai kwon do for about a year now and i also practice wing chun kung fu. in terms of what you might want, wing chun gets the job done...well and fast. you don't need to be strong, the style is strong by itself. tai kwon do is flashy and requires you to use brute strength. i enjoy both styles.
Capoeira was also another style i tried it was great and very flashy, if your choosing just for...

there is no best martial art, now days, unless you want to be a professional fighter, or you need to know fighting for your job, there is no reason why you should need to know more than self defence, incase you fall intoa situation where you need to defend yourself, or someone else.
but the answer lies within what can martial arts do for you, and what do you want to gain out of martial arts; whether it be fitness, self...

My *opinion*
I have tryed TKD for a year and a half.. I can see how it can be a good martial art.. but I had way to much art and not enough martial... If you find a good teacher then it is great and it is great in fights. I tryed kun fu.. it is great.. I loved it, my teacher did a lot of slef defense..

timing
audio and video seem to become out of sync after part one of the film...good stuff, but hard to follow what is being demonstrated with it this way.

Bruce wasn't the first to bring Eastern MA over to the West. Edward William Barton-Wright, for example, brought Judo and Jiu-Jitsu from Japan to Europe well over half of a century before Lee's time. He even combined the styles with Western martial arts such as stickfighting, savate, boxing, and wrestling.
Eastern martial arts, as well as Lee's ideas, received much attention due to his movies. They were both popularized even though they were not necessarily new.
