ABSTRACT
The ideas, ideals, injunctions and aspirations associated with Bruce Lee were always multiple. In effect, there have always been several Bruce Lees – different Bruce Lees for different people. In the realms of film, Bruce Lee’s fight choreography changed things, raised the bar, set new ideals in film fight staging. Stories about and studies of Bruce Lee’s iconoclasm, irreverence and various fights and tussles abound. In the realms of martial arts practice and film fight choreography, Bruce Lee arguably dropped a bomb, the effects of which are being felt. The different ways in which bits and pieces of ‘Bruce Lee’ are picked up and used attest to the nature of his intervention. Before Bruce Lee, one could dream of being any number of things – footballer, athlete, rock star.
