SAN FRANCISCO, CA: Bruce Lee was a Hong Kong-American martial artist and actor who stood tall at 5 feet 7 inches (1.72 m or 172 cm), according to IMDb, and weighed 65 kg.
He founded Jeet Kune Do, a mixed martial arts ideology that combines elements of several combat sports.
Bruce Lee died on July 20, 1973, at 32, due to Cerebral edema in Kowloon, British Hong Kong.
As a cultural icon of the 20th century who united the East and the West, Lee is regarded by some pundits and fighters as the greatest martial artist of all time.
Even after five decades of his death, Lee is still remembered by his fans all over the world. Fans often share facts about his Martial Arts skills on Twitter/X.
A user once mentioned, "The BEST EVER example of Bruce Lee's kick speed, which is taken from the 1971 TV show Longstreet. A double-turning kick (or roundhouse) at his own head height. I make the delivery time 1:03 seconds and you hear the second kick cut through the air. INSANE!"
Another user wrote, "Bruce Lee gave up 30" in height to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. But he became obsessed with fighting him. This is the fascinating story of how the two stars formed a kick a** training partnership that helped Kareem take on Wilt and Bruce take on Hollywood."
Was Bruce Lee taller than Wong Shun-leung?
Wong Shun-leung, a Hong Kong martial artist who was 5 feet 6 inches (1.70 m or 170 cm) tall, was 1 inch shorter than Bruce Lee. He was credited with training Bruce Lee while studying Wing Chun kung fu under Yip Man.
Wong stated in interviews that he had defeated martial artists of all styles in at least 60 and maybe over 100 street bouts; however, these figures cannot be independently verified.
'Gong Sau Wong' was the moniker given by his pupils and fans to him because of his renown. 'Wing Chun: The Science of In-fighting' is the title of an instructional video that Wong produced.
Wong once had a conversation with Grandmaster Ip Man following Lee's rise to fame stating, "Without your guidance and encouragement, Bruce Lee wouldn't be having such achievement."
In a letter to Wong, Bruce Lee famously said, "Even though I am (technically) a student of Ip Man, in reality, I learned my Kung-fu from you."
Bruce Lee's height compared to late son Brandon Lee
Brandon Bruce Lee was an actor and martial artist who was 6 feet (1.83 m or 183 cm) tall. Brandon was 4 inches taller than his father Bruce Lee.
He made a name for himself as a rising action star in the early 1990s, and in the dark fantasy thriller 'The Crow', he played Eric Draven, which gave him his breakout role.
However, Brabdon's unintentional death during the film's production ended his life and career.
Brandon had shot almost every scene in 'The Crow' (1993) after landing the lead role when he was tragically shot on set with a toy pistol. Lee's performance was praised posthumously, and the movie went on to become a box-office hit.
Both his and his father's careers have drawn comparisons, as both men tragically died before the release of their blockbuster films.
