Characters – Event 1
Bruce Lee flashed brilliantly like a meteor through the world of martial arts and motion pictures, Then, on July 20 1973, in Hong Kong, like a meteor – he disappeared, extinguished by sudden death. He was just 32.

Perhaps because his training enveloped him to the point of fanaticism, he was eventually able to refire, distill and mature into a philosopher, technician and innovator of the martial arts.
After intensive study of different martial arts styles and theories, Lee developed a concept of martial arts for the individual man. This concept he later labeled Jeet Kune Do, the way of the intercepting fist, It has antecedents not only in his physical training and voluminous martial arts library (over tow thousand books), but in his formal education as well (a major philosophy at the University of Washington, Seattle).
Lee also combines his martial arts expertise with his knowledge of acting skills and cinematic techniques, starring in several motion pictures: The Big Boss, First of Fury, Way of the Dragon and Enter the Dragon.
Bruce Lee's death plunges both martial arts and film passionate into an abyss of doubt. Out of their growing demand to know more of and about him, his Tao of Jeet Kune Do was published, which is now followed by BRUCE LEE's FIGHTING METHOD.
