He popularized martial arts in mass culture and was an early Asian American celebrity. So he paved a path. Kudos.

Guy wasn't perfect but considering the racism he faced... slow nod. Plus his conditioning was extraordinary for his time.

Also... if you're into martial arts, he's essentially the foundation of MMA. The Tao of Jeet Kun Do is an amazing book even for non martial artists. Highly recommend and totally forgot about it. Want to read it again now. #Philosophy #BeWater
