#1. Bruce Lee

And now we get to the top spot and there can only be one person at number one: the legendary Bruce Lee. Chinese American martial artist, Lee, was the most influential of all time. Having initially learnt Wing Chun, Tai Chi, Boxing, and Street Fighting, he combined them all with other influences from various sources into the spirit of his personal martial arts philosophy, which he dubbed Jeet Kune Do, meaning “the way of the intercepting fist”. Lee’s start in show business came in 1966, playing the role of Kato in the TV series The Green Hornet. Initially, while filming the series, he moved so fast that his movements could not be caught on film. So he had to slow them down. His first leading film role was in 1971 in The Big Boss, followed by Fist of Fury, Way of the Dragon, Enter the Dragon, and The Game of Death. Not only did Bruce Lee fight, but he also taught martial arts and had many students, including Hollywood scriptwriter Stirling Silliphant and actor James Coburn. Lee died in 1973 at the age of 32.
