Happy Chinese New Year, one and all! Celebrations officially begin today to welcome the year of the water dragon, and festivities around the world see reading of fortunes and happy people taking time to gather together in honor of this momentous occasion! In my mind, however, we also celebrate the astrological time of the year when one superb and legendary martial artist was born. He was called
Lei Seil Loong or "
The Little Dragon", and it may not be familiar to most people at first, but you know him better by his American and Screen name...
BRUCE LEE.
Bruce Lee, 2012 The Year of Dragon
In commemoration of the
Year of the Dragon and the founder of
Jeet Kune Do (
The Way of the Intercepting Fist), this
YouTube video by one
hungmanfay showcases the man who became a legend through his passion and determination as a martial artist. I found this to be extremely well done, and it pays tribute to not only the man called the Dragon, but the year he was born in as well. Enjoy, and
Kung Hei Fat Choi!
