Bruce Lee was a martial arts icon in and out of the movie industry. He wanted to master every form and had a thirst for it unlike anything we have seen since. He even created his own form of martial arts as he merged techniques together. He was born during World War 2 when China was hit hard during the Japanese invasion. His family was able to thrive due his father's opera career and he would follow in his footsteps to start acting at 6 years old. He quickly became a handful and became the wild child constantly fighting and getting into trouble. So how did he go from the wild child to the philosopher? In today's episode we'll take a deep dive into his childhood and discuss events leading up to his return to America at 18 years old. I'll tell you about his acting career and the beginning of his passion for martial arts. His life was truly fascinating, and his legacy will live on forever.
