Bruce Lee

Kung Fu stance

Bruce Lee was a man of many heroic qualities. He always stood up for what he believed in, did what he thought was right, was a man who set positive examples, and changed the world for us all.

Bruce Lee always stood up for what he believed in and never gave in to what others said about him. He believed that he could discipline himself with Kung Fu. Throughout his training, he never got lazy and never missed a day to train, and his reward was becoming one of the greatest martial artists of all time.

Bruce Lee set many great examples for us all. He showed us that Kung Fu is best used as a way of disciplining oneself. For example, when he was little, he got into a lot of fights with many street gangs. But instead of just learning Kung Fu to fight back (like most people would do), he learned as a way of directing himself away from fighting. This is a great example because this shows how using non-violent solutions is the right way.

In the later stages of his life, he developed his own style of Kung Fu called Jeet Kune Do. His hard work and determination in creating Jeet Kung Do also led to his creation of a school for martial arts training. He made one outside of the University of Washington and one in Oakland and another in Los Angeles, California.

Another effect he had on the world was through his acting career. Bruce wasn’t really famous for the quality of his acting, but for being one of the few Asian people to act. He fused Kung Fu with acting and later on created great films such as “Enter the Dragon” and “Return of the Dragon.” When he made these films, he didn’t realize that in the process he would inspire many people around the world to be actors and a martial artists.

I chose to write about Bruce Lee because, throughout his life, he showed great discipline in his passion for Kung Fu. He also showed that it takes a determined person to become someone great. After writing this essay on Bruce Lee, I realize how much I want to be confident, determined, and successful, just as he was. He influenced me to try harder to become what I want in life and to go for what I think is right. I thank him very much.
