And what excites me about this book is that it's an opportunity for the reader to have a better understanding of why you continue to know his name.' - Shannon Lee

About the Author
Bruce Lee was a martial artist, actor and philosopher. Born in the United States and raised in Hong Kong, Lee began his film career at a young age, starring in more than 20 films by the time he was 18, at which point he moved back to the States to pursue his film career. It was while he was in Seattle that he began teaching students martial arts and developing his own fighting system, Jeet Kune Do. After struggling to break into Hollywood as an Asian American actor, he moved back to Hong Kong to make three films, which consecutively broke all box office records and showcased martial arts in an entirely new way. Hollywood took notice and soon Bruce was making the first Hollywood / Hong Kong coproduction with a film called Enter the Dragon. Unfortunately, Bruce Lee died in 1973 before this film was released, but it catapulted him to international fame. Today Bruce Lee's legacy of self expression, equality, and pioneering innovation continues to inspire people all around the world.

Shannon Lee is a writer, CEO of the Bruce Lee Family Companies, President of the Bruce Lee Foundation and the daughter of Bruce Lee. Shannon dedicates her time to promoting her father's legacy, philosophy and life through education and entertainment.

Kareem first met Bruce while he was in college at UCLA and after a meeting at Bruce and Linda's house, Bruce soon became his martial arts mentor. Kareem later went on to star in Bruce Lee's film Game of Death as Bruce's final opponent, Mantis.

Tony Hawk is a professional skater, entrepreneur and founder of the Skatepark Project. Considering skateboarding to be an art form, a lifestyle and a sport, Tony finds similarities in Bruce Lee's approach to martial arts. He is inspired by Bruce's philosophy and his determination to overcome limitations.

Jackie Chan is a prolific actor, filmmaker and martial artist, having appeared in more than 150 films. Before graduating to leading roles, he worked as an extra and stunt double in the Bruce Lee films Fist of Fury and Enter the Dragon.
