The world in some ways still hasn't caught up to Bruce's concepts of flow and energy (totally insulting the idea that Brad Pitt could even knock him down in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood). Great for Shannon to continue to promote his legacy. The incredible Lee.
No one will replicate it. He pushed too far and died young. Others tried and paid the piper. Jackie Chan is the only successful concept of flow and vitality
@@cyberzenASMR He didn't die because he "pushed too far". He died from an allergic reaction to Over-the-counter headache medicine. Be philosophical if you must, but do the research first, please.
My novels are Kamarang( a supernatural novel, and my crime novel The Girl in The Pink Pleated Skirt. Both on Amazon, both set in Guyana, South America, where I live and work as a writer and journalist.
I've been a fan of Bruce Lee for many years, but no matter how many times I watch him, he is the strongest and best movie actor, martial artist, and truly god-like. It's exciting.
Spot on! He's had a huge influence on millions of people. And still does. His will-power was the most impressive phenomenon that I have ever come across.
@@felix121984Bruce Lee was real. And there is ample proof of that fact. Jesus not so much. There is no scientific evidence for the assumption, that he ever existed. None! That's reality.
Bruce Lee is the greatest martial artist and possibly one of the greatest fighters of all time. He really became a big star as well developed as an icon with his American-Chinese heritage.
I grew up in Yugoslavia in the 70s just after he died, but we all watched and adored his movies, his charisma and charm, speed and agility. His perseverance is something I subconsciously felt and understood from a very young age. I wanted to practice karate when I was 7, but due to various circumstances I started when I was 27 and then it took me 20 years to get a black belt. Always with him in my mind. Certainly, there were many amazing people in the past, but because we don't have pictures and videos of them, it's hard to really understand their genius. In his case, he did a lot in the short time he had and as such will leave in our minds and hopefully inspire other generations forever.
It was never a mess if people bothered to read the published material on him. By the 1990's, the biography on him was a pretty complete. There was a new biography in the last decade that theorized that heat exhaustion as his primary cause of death. That biography was a breakthrough and well done. He had many flaws but his determination and successes (and lessons from failures) were inspirations to many.
His voice/message is still alive! His daughter doesn't represent him, she becomes him him through her actions and words. So fortunate to have your legacy immortalized/transcend without a momentarily void!
Bruce Lee was obviously ahead of the curve when it came to martial arts,health, fitness, business and film choreography. The one thing that hasn’t been highlighted enough about him is his view of a universal human family. He was a proud Asian as he should be, but he also understood that ultimately all ethnicities are part of the HUMAN family. The world needs more people like Bruce Lee because even though he’s not physically here among us, his legacy continues to build bridges between different cultures, generations and ethnicities. He was definitely one of my role-models as a kid. He inspired me not just as a martial artist and athlete, but he also inspired me to always have a open mind so that I can grow and connect to people. Rest In Power Sifu!🙏🏾
Bruce was my childhood idol & still as my adulthood idol. Words just can’t describe the legacy that he still has within all of us , especially, those who grew up loving this guy. Glad that Shannon is so dedicated to continue his legacy after 50 years. One must get to know him to really know him.
50 years he is still huge threw pop culture, generations, technology etc he still is so iconic and still inspiring millions world wide. He will never get old never
Legendary forever... 👍👍🤘🤘 Thank you, Bruce Lee for continuing to be an inspiration to everyone even 50 years after you were taken from us. There will never be another like you. May you forever Rest In Peace, Master... 😔🌹❤️
I went to Seattle 5 years ago and decided to visit the grave sites of Jimi Hendrix and Bruce Lee (about 20 - 30-minute drive from each other). I went to Hendrix site first and there was about 8 people who came and went in total the 30 minutes I was there. I went to Lee’s site next (it was about 3 or 4 in the afternoon). From the time I got there until I left, there was a steady stream of people who can to the grave site. I estimate about 20 - 25 people came while I was there (and still were coming when I left). I was amazed at how popular Lee still was.
I'm crying watching this beautiful retrospect on Bruce Lee's life. I was 18 years old when he died, and his strength in the face of adversity helped me get through my own adversity-filled (because of having an abusive father but also being an outsider for being autistic) life. Thank you for telling Bruce's story. PS I hear Enter The Dragon will be back in a limited number of theaters next month! I've already pre-ordered the updoming 4K release!
He was truly one of the kind. In the UK, ETD is showing 15 Aug 8pm. Definitely going to see it. Watching Bruce on the big screen remastered is going to be electric.
i grew up with all his films and philosophy in martial arts he was ahead of his time 50years later he still impacted people life's he is a true legend and only one Lee . our idol our leader . i think iven after so many years i haven't see anyone like him in films to be honest. even with all that cgi tech today his style was unique..❤ RIP
There's no dojo or martial arts studio in the world that doesn't have picture of Bruce Lee hanging on the wall. That's the impact he had in the martial arts world, " be water my friend".
The Best there ever will be!!! No one can ever beat him, not even death…little that death knows that Bruce Lee was already IMMORTAL ON NOVEMBER 27, 1940!!!
I totally agree he was legend whose life tragically cut short he influenced the entertainment industry and also the body building industry to he also brought the martial arts kung fu discipline's and tradition's to the outside world because of that it changed the world
Tribute to Bruce Lee ( The Big Boss,fist of fury,Enter the Dragon ) and his son ( Rapid Fire, The Crow, The Showdown in Little Tokyo ) Long Live shannon Lee
Bruce Lee was one of the most legendary martial artists to this day. His legacy shall always live on! Many of us grew up to love martial arts because of him!
This man continues to inspire me continually in every aspect of life!! His is a story of accomplishment, failure, rebuild, rebirth and and continually growing!!
They forgot to mention that he is also an exceptional dancer. If you look at his martial moves, there's fluidlity at his style, so surreal like ballet but you never know what hit you.
He is well remembered in more of a way of fighting but also in way that helps us to continue to evolve on all levels, from what I have found out about him.
Awesome tribute! Remember going to a tribute/talk at the Los Angeles City Central Library in Downtown Los Angeles. Shannon Lee was there to talk about her dad.
Bruce helped all Asian Americans hold their heads up high in the face of intense racism. Thank you for the hope you gave us and confidence not to be treated as WEAK MEN OF ASIA.
Biggest positive influence on my life by a human being outside of my own family! Bruce Lee is still making an impact on lives today, perhaps he is right - we are all one family under the sky! ☁️🐉🌎
The king the best in history forever bruce lee i love you so much 🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🇨🇳🇨🇳😏😏👊😏👊👊👊👊🤫🤫🤫🤫😘🤫🤫🤫👏👍👍🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Bruce Lee is the most famous most admired most honored man in the entire world who in turn loved him very much for the great man that he was to anyone and everyone from the people who knew him to the people who never met this man and yet still loved him anyway I was one of those people watching his movies made feel like I knew him I'm sure there are many others who felt the same as I did he's the only man to have been embraced and easily accepted by everyone in the world
Bruce lee was so Amazing , I read a story years back, a martial arts magazine ian a story about a man named Ben largusa a filipino martial artists kali I think the art was, and it talked about how hollywood needed a actor for a tv show(green hornet) ed parker kempo karate practitioner who had connections in hollywood, had 2 people in mind, one was bruce lee and the other ben largusa, ben largusa was asked first but turned down the role and then bruce lee was asked and the rest is history, he did an amazing job. So many behind the scenes stories of things that we never hear about.
Damn 32 that’s too young he still would’ve had more great films to make sad 😢!! props to his daughter for staying strong must be heart breaking to lose her brother nd father at a young age !!
I seriously cannot think of any other martial artist who can even hold a candle to Bruce Lee to this day and I still refuse to give up my memorabilia of him that I've collected since high school. All of my t-shirts are in pristine condition.
This is the longest ive heard Shannon speak about everything. Its beautiful to hear her talk she sounds like her Father in many ways. God Bless her and Mrs Linda Lee♥️🐲🐉
I believe that if you look at the history and legacy of Hollywood, Bruce Lee stands on the top on his very own esp knowing how much he had to endure and suffer through
I could still cry about his death. I became a dam good fighter because of him. I still read tge Tao of Jeet Kune DO. His linear attacks and trapping. Because of Bruce I won 36 kumite matchs in one night. I was in what I call. The Bruce Lee SHUFFLE. Even against Black Belt Student from Japan. I studied JKD before I studied Shotokan. Which is very static. Well using Kung Fu along with Shotokan. Creates a very powerful flow of movement. Thank You Sifu Lee.
The impact he had even if he wasn't a competitive fighter...JKD and "the way of the intercepting fist" has had an immense impact on MMA...look at the the styles of the likes of Conor McGregor, Israel Adesanya and many other pro fighters and there is a common denominator that draws very close to his style be it intentional or not..he has an amazing insight in knowing what would work, look at his fighting gloves, his use of Judo and wrestling to create a hybrid way if fighting with no style, when you hear what he had to say about fighting and it being a formless art form without dictation, a self expression from the soul without thinking but one that flows like water. A poet, a thinker and a human being.
Thankfully, Lee was actually able to sneak in a few movies starting at the very last 1.5 year of his life. Prior to that...there are zero action movies, he was simply a veteran at live combat. In live situations he had fought; Black Belts, Pro Fighters, Ex military, Champions, 3rd degree Masters, Rival Martial Artists, and opponents that outweighed him by 100 pounds. His battle experience started as a young boy who would then become the leader of the Hong Kong Gang, the Tigers of Junction Street, and his violence lead all through out his teens + adulthoodhood. The few movies he DID get to make were only at the last 1.5 years of his life which had been a very brief opportunity for him to report his life experiences and give that personal insight into live combat. He only made 3 little movies plus One Hollywood film, a very short attempt at films but we're lucky he at least made them and snuck them right in JUST before he died to show us his insights on his personal life of hard combat. Lee is ranked by Sports Illustrated in the 50 Greatest Athletes of All Time, with near super human strength that could raise unbelievable weights which pro weight lifters could not.
"Under the sky, we are all one family". What a badly needed message for our times.
Hot sky, earth is getting hotter temps. Eventually killing crops and potable water hard to get

Absolutely! In 1973, when I was
fifteen, I watched my first Bruce
Lee film, 'The Big Boss' in a
cinema here in the Netherlands.
I will never forget it. It made
such a huge impression, that I
started practicing martial arts
a few weeks later and it hugely
enhanced my lacking self-

Bruce has helped millions of
youngsters to grow some balls
and some self-esteem.

Bruce Lee gave Chuck Norris, Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and countless others their start in Martial Arts Cinema. Bruce Lee was a man ahead of his time. 🐉

The world in some ways still hasn't caught up to Bruce's concepts of flow and energy (totally insulting the idea that Brad Pitt could even knock him down in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood). Great for Shannon to continue to promote his legacy. The incredible Lee.
No one will replicate it. He pushed too far and died young. Others tried and paid the piper. Jackie Chan is the only successful concept of flow and vitality
Her name is Shannon.
Brad was friends with Bruce's son Brandon
@@cyberzenASMR He didn't die because he "pushed too far". He died from an allergic reaction to Over-the-counter headache medicine. Be philosophical if you must, but do the research first, please.
@Akuma.69 Brad could have refused. He has the prominence/influence. He doesn't need a Tarantino movie to matter in Hollywood.
I still feel this loss. As if I'd lost a brother.
I've paid homage to Bruce in my two novels.
RIP Bruce Lee.
What novels?
What novels??
My novels are Kamarang( a supernatural novel, and my crime novel The Girl in The Pink Pleated Skirt.
Both on Amazon, both set in Guyana, South America, where I live and work as a writer and journalist.
A hero in many different ways. He is sorely missed.
I've been a fan of Bruce Lee for many years, but no matter how many times I watch him, he is the strongest and best movie actor, martial artist, and truly god-like. It's exciting.

He had Unheard of Charisma! He radiated this intangible force! That is Why we All recognize Unique greatness.
Bruce Lee 1940-1973
Such a short life.
But what an impact!
Yes!
32 years he was when he died.
I remember Bruce Lee and was saddened by his death at such a young age. I am thrilled to hear his daughter is keeping his legacy and spirit alive.
Bruce Lee despised racism and he proved this by having students of all races, he was truly a uniter
true, that is why the chinese took him out,
@@hjkjccdggjhvb Also the reason Tarantino a mediocre hates Bruce Lee a giant
I've admired Bruce Lee since I was a kid and my favorite quote that has helped me is "Be water my friend" 💟
Paid my respects to his tomb when I visited Seattle last yr. Legend.
I did,too．
His speed was so much faster than anyone else. He could back it up. What he could have done if he lived even 10 more years
Never met Bruce Lee. But miss him.😢

The quickest baddest hardest hitting/ kicking human being to ever walk the planet! And a nice man! Mad Respect!
This was a great piece of journalism. Short but a very sweet 7 minutes to honor The Immortal Supreme Dragon. Thank You as always Bruce!!!

Especially Brandon.
Warrior series is criminally underrated... really needs to be seen
Bruce Lee was one of my favorite actors is so sad how he and his son passed away.
