Bruce Lee
Born in San Francisco in 1940 and raised in Hong Kong, Bruce Lee was the founder of Jeet Kune Do and the 20th century's most influential martial artist. He systematized fighting as philosophy, broke through Hollywood's racial barriers to become its first Asian leading man, and died at thirty-two, leaving a legacy that spans combat sports, cinema, and personal development. His influence on MMA, action filmmaking, and Eastern philosophy in the West remains immeasurable.
