00:00He was more than a martial artist, more than a movie star.
00:03Bruce Lee was a force of nature, a philosopher in motion, a rebel with a cause, and a dragon whose fire still burns.
00:11This is the story of a boy born in San Francisco, raised in Hong Kong, and destined to change the world.
00:21Born on November 27, 1940, in San Francisco's Chinatown, Lee Junfon entered the world during the Hour of the Dragon.
00:28His father, Lee Hoi Chuen, was a Cantonese opera singer.
00:33His mother, Grace Ho, came from a prominent Hong Kong family.
00:38From the start, Bruce was surrounded by art, culture, and performance.
00:42By age six, Bruce was already acting in Hong Kong cinema, but behind the camera, he was restless, rebellious, and drawn to the streets.
00:50Hong Kong's streets were unforgiving.
00:52Bruce found himself in gang scuffles and rooftop brawls.
00:55To defend himself, he turned to Wing Chun, training under the legendary IP man.
01:01It wasn't just self-defense, it was self-discovery.
01:05He was a paradox, graceful and fierce.
01:08In 1958, he won the Hong Kong Cha-Cha Championship.
01:11His footwork would later become his signature in combat.
01:14At 18, Bruce returned to America.
01:17He settled in Seattle, studied philosophy, and taught martial arts to anyone willing to learn.
01:21He believed in breaking tradition.
01:24Absorb what is useful, discard what is not.
01:27He married Linda, started a family, and opened martial arts schools.
