Bruce Lee died 50 years ago today
In honor of this sad anniversary, I re-share this post from last fall:
P.S. Here’s how Bruce handles discrimination and illegitimate rules:
Then, in Enter the Dragon, one of the tournament competitors assaults the Chinese boat crew. Bruce does not stand by passively.
Instead, he uses his “art of fighting without fighting” to defend his people and cleverly subdue the coward (you can fast-forward to 2:30 in this video):
Rest in Peace & Power, Little Dragon.
Oohhh. He was a truly great man. I'm not generally big on people, especially famous people, but I genuinely wish he was still in this world.
His "be like water my friend" has gotten me through many a hard time.
His life work shoukd be required reading/studying for anyone under the age of 20.🙏🙏
The Internet Archive has a (free) selection of his work.
