Bruce Lee is famous for what he really is. As it is known to all, the way one thinks will have an influence on how he lives and what he achieves. Bruce likes to do things in his own way because he thinks it is the best. This is why he is so special to us.
Ever since he was young, Bruce was very ambitious. He started to learn Wing-Chun when he was 13 years old. He had high expectations for himself and he studied Wing-Chun much faster and harder than his peers. This experience helped him become a world-renowned martial artist.
Another factor to Bruce’s success was that he was strong and very talented at Kung Fu. He often got into street fights while he was still in Hong Kong. Many people knew him because of that. This also gave him more fighting experience. Once in the spring of 1959, Bruce got in another street fight and this time the police were called. When reaching his late teens, he got in street fights more frequently and once even beat up the son of a feared triad family. At last, Bruce had to leave Hong Kong for the USA in order to live a safe life.
One more factor of Bruce Lee’s success was he was very patriotic and creative as well, which is fully embodied in his movies. So his movies are not only creative but also at the same time boosting patriotism among the Chinese people. Bruce’s movies became great hits of his time and he became famous in no time. Especially the movie: Fist of Fury, which teaches all Chinese to be patriotic because only if we do that, can we be strong, and nobody will dare to bully us and tease us and say we are the "Sick Man of East China".

Bruce Lee didn’t rely on his rich family. He was hard-working and always interested to learn new things. These are all positive character traits of his that we should learn from . This is a very important reason that he, Bruce Lee, has become famous to the world.
Bruce Lee is a famous martial art star. But on the other hand, the support and help from his family, his masters and even his disciples were also very important to him. Actually, every famous person would not be successful without their family and close friends support and help. Even the current president of USA Barack Obama needs the help of his close friends. This sub-topic would tell you all the support and help that Bruce received from his family, his masters and even his disciples and how these people helped make Bruce famous.
Bruce's parents gave him a lot of support, even though they didn't really agree with Bruce learning Kung Fu, finally they came to terms with him and started to support him with all their hearts. When Bruce was sad, they comforted him; when Bruce was arrogant, they calmed him down. Especially Bruce's father. He was a famous actor at the time. So Bruce was introduced to act in films at a very young age and appeared in several black and white films. Bruce had his first role as a baby who was carried onto the stage. By the age of 18, he had appeared in twenty films. That gave Bruce a lot of chances to show himself, and also made him famous since he was 3 years old.

Bruce's master Yip-Men helped him a lot too. Yip-Men was very good at Wing-Chun. He taught him Wing-Chun and showed him how to be a real man. He also worked with Bruce and trained him to be the world’s best martial artist. One day, when he found Bruce lied to him, he told Bruce that "Lying is a slippery slope, once you lie, you will need to lie more to cover your lies. “Bruce learnt the moral lesson, so for the rest of his life, Bruce never lied again. He even told his son to never lie to anybody.
Another martial artist called Wong Jack Man became Bruce’s half friend and half master. At first, he thought Bruce was just an arrogant blockhead, but after one match, they were amazed by each other. Their Kung-Fu was really fabulous, so they started to teach each other and became very good friends.
Besides Yip-Men and Wong Jack Man, Bruce Lee had many disciples. One of these was Taky Kimura who became one of Bruce's disciples after he was knocked out by Bruce Lee in 11 seconds! Even though he was Bruce's disciple, he taught Bruce Lee how to practice Tai-Kun-Do.Bruce’s masters and disciples helped him a lot; they inspired his idea of creating Jeet-Kune-Do.
The support and help from Bruce Lee's family, masters and disciples were very important to Bruce . Without them, Bruce would be just an ordinary person instead of becoming a famous martial artist.

Bruce is famous mainly because of his personality and ideology, the effects from his family, teachers and disciples. But actually, before Bruce was famous, he did lots of good deeds using Kung Fu. So this sub-topic will tell you some of the goods that Bruce did using his fabulous Kung-Fu.
The greatest thing that Bruce did in his life was advertising Chinese Kung-Fu to western-countries. As you know, Bruce was a great movie star as well as a super movie director. He put Chinese Kung-Fu into his movies. That made Chinese Kung-Fu known to the world.
The second amazing thing that Bruce did was saving a lot of people’s lives. One of his disciples, a native American, was beaten by some racist people and was saved by Bruce when he was almost killed. At that time, Bruce was only 17. Another person that Bruce saved was a beautiful girl. Bruce just simply busted the man's nose after he saw the man harassing the girl. The girl thanked Bruce, but Bruce said: "Nothing special". That was so amazing.

The third amazing thing that Bruce did was to teach hundreds of people Chinese Kung-Fu, so his disciples were all around the world. He even helped the word "Kung-Fu" become a word in the dictionary.The last great thing that Bruce did was to create Jeet-Kune-Do. Jeet-Kune-Do is a type of Kung-Fu that can harm people before people harm you (Thomas Lee,1964). It is a new style of Kung-Fu and it is absolutely great (James Lee,1976). Everyone thinks Jeet-Kune-Do is fantastic, fabulous and amazing. Actually, many people do not really know how Bruce thought up the idea of creating Jeet-Kune-Do. Now, this sub topic will tell you about how Bruce came up with the idea of creating Jeet-Kune-Do.
One time, Bruce was fighting with a man who was really good at wide-circle fighting. The combat lasted 3 minutes and Bruce won using Wing-Chun. But Bruce thought the fight lasted too long, so he had the idea of creating a new concept of Kung-Fu that will harm the enemy faster than Wing-Chun. So that is how Bruce created Jeet-Kune-Do.

Bruce did many good deeds using Kung Fu and that is why he is so famous. The reason why he had so many disciples is that he was always studying hard and never gave up. He is a model for many people, including me. He created a new type of Kung-Fu and made a new height of martial arts.
A star was shining in the sky, but not for long, the star fell. The star was Bruce. On the 20th July of 1973, Bruce died in Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Hong Kong. People did not know why he died. Some people said he died because of drugs. Some said he was killed by some jealous people. Also, some said he died because of poison. It is not really important how Bruce died, but the impact of his death was huge. Many people cried because of that, because a real hero had left the world with sadness.

As I told you before in this essay, Bruce was famous mainly because of himself, his family and close friends and also the goods that he did to the world using his fabulous Kung-Fu. These reasons made Bruce really famous to all of us. Bruce was a model for many people, because before and after he became famous, he made the world different. After doing this essay about how and why did Bruce became so famous, I still wanted to find out more about Jeet-Kune-Do and the celebrate the life of the golden dragon. I also hope that there will be a second Bruce Lee, who can finish the unfinished mission of Bruce.
Even now, Bruce died but he marked the world, his legend will always be remembered by us. His heroic spirit has become history. His legend will be handed down to generations!
