The philosophy behind Bruce Lee’s fists of fury
Why is Bruce Lee’s “be water” philosophy so powerful? The Chinese-American martial artist and film star is widely credited for popularising martial arts, paving the way for mixed martial arts, and changing the perception of Asians in Hollywood and beyond. He did this – and much more – in a short period, since he died at the age of 32. Though more than 50 years have passed since Lee’s death in Kowloon on July 20, 1973, his spirit and philosophy live on.
