Bruce Lee is known as the famous martial artist who starred in many kung-fu movies. He had a rough early life getting into fights but later learned philosophy which changed his life and behavior. This led him to meet famous actors and get his big break starring in his first movie, The Green Hornet. Bruce Lee had both a global and local impact by bringing martial arts from Chinese culture to America, introducing many to kung-fu through his movies and inspiring many schools teaching kung-fu locally.
