Bruce Almighty

The great Bruce Lee has been known to be the legendary father of kungfu in America. Up till this very day, in America if one is to discuss about chinese kungfu, it will be associated to Lee. Bruce Lee didn't invent kungfu and as a matter of fact there are a lot of far more greater kungfu masters in the States but everyone seemed to have an impression on Bruce for his courage and his trademark scream which sounded like cats making out each time he does that.

Why is he such a phenomena? Even in India, indians invented dances in his commemoration. The late Bruce is a great martial artist to Americans and to the rest of the people around the world. Yet, he is more than just a celebrity to people of Hongkong. In Hongkong, Bruce is idolise like a God and they even have a statue of him standing facing the sea as if his the Statue of Liberty for the hongkies. Indeed he is a liberalist. Upon being told that he cannot do it , he went on doing it until he succeeded. Bruce brought freedom to the Asians by proving to the westerners that they do not dominate everything else in this world. Nothing beats the asians when it comes to martial arts and emotional screams.

During those days of hardship, hollywood never laid eyes on Asian actors and actresses unless they need spare crews . Gifted actors and stuntmen from Hongkong had to sell their bodies and dignity and have themselves casted in pornography to earn recognition before being able to be a movie star. Bruce refused to surrender to industrial slavery and bias contracts from his agent Run Run Shaw,thus he fled to the States and despite being condemned and mocked for being an Asian who was trying to hit the jackpot in Hollywood, he struggled on and bring fame to chinese kungfu.

Bruce combined cha cha to wing chun , karate katas and some other arts and eventually formed his own known to the world today as Jeet Kuen Do. I may never be as legendary as Bruce. However i am a big fan of martial arts and i hope to combine chinese kungfu, aikido, karate and cha cha someday and see how does it turn out?? Bruce invented the way of the intercepting fist and i hope to invent the fistless fist someday. Bless me o Bruce Almighty , haha!
