Bruce Lee collection

A piercing cry, nunchaku slicing through the air and parallel claw marks across the chest: three images are enough to summon Bruce Lee in full! Born in San Francisco in 1940 and raised in Hong Kong, the actor played Kato in the series The Green Hornet before building his legend with The Big Boss in 1971, Fist of Fury, The Way of the Dragon which he directed himself, then Enter the Dragon. Behind the fighter is a thinker who formalized Jeet Kune Do, his own approach to martial arts, stripped of rigid styles and summed up by a precept that became famous: be like water. Gone at thirty-two in 1973, shortly before the release of that last film, he left behind a short body of work and an immense influence, from Hong Kong action cinema to dojos around the world. That water has never stopped flowing, and it still runs through the writings and objects that keep the dragon's thinking alive.
