Bruce Lee was a born fighter, a master of kung fu, who developed his own unique form of this ancient art. He battled to succeed as a film star in America in spite of the racial prejudice that denied him a starring role, eventually making films in Hong Kong that turned him into a worldwide star. Above all he fought with himself, finally attaining an inner strength which drove him to push himself further and further, never settling for less than the best. When he tragically died at thirty-two, wild theories circulated about the cause, books were written and films made. But Bruce
Lee deserved better than that,
Bruce Thomas has written a complete and balanced account not only of Lee's life but of the philosophy and fighting skills that made him the highest-paid movie star of his day and the greatest martial artist of the modern age.
In this updated edition he reassesses Lee's skills and explores the increasing influences of his insights. He also compares Bruce Lee with that other great fighting spirit whom we have come to love, Muhammad Ali, by asking:
What would have happened if the two men had ever met in combat?
Insightful and authoritative, Bruce Lee - Fighting Spirit is a tribute to a man whose achievements have never been surpassed.
