1. Bruce Lee’s Family Gave Him a Girl’s Name: "Little Phoenix"
Bruce Lee’s family never called him "Bruce." They always preferred to call him by his nickname "Sai Fon" or "Little Phoenix." It was a girl’s name, deliberately chosen by his parents because they believed that evil spirits did not like boys in the family (their firstborn was a son who died in infancy). So, by giving Bruce a girl’s name, they believed they could fool the demons into sparing lee's life!
2. Bruce Lee was a Part German
Bruce wasn’t pure Chinese - he was actually a part German (his grandfather from his mother’s side was half German).
3. Bruce Lee Never Lost a Fight
Well,this is amazing, actually he lost a fight only once in his life: when he was 13 years old. This loss actually prompted Bruce to learn martial arts from a Wing Chun master named Yip Man. After other students learned that Bruce wasn’t pure Chinese, they refused to let him train in their class. Yip Man had to train him privately.
4. Bruce Lee was a Bad Student
Academics didn’t interest Mr Bruce in the least. After primary school, Bruce entered La Salle College, an English-speaking boys’ secondary school in Kowloon, Hong Kong, where he often got into trouble. Bruce was expelled from La Salle for his disruptive behavior.
Even after his parents moved him to a different school, Bruce kept on getting into street fights.
5. Bruce Lee was an Excellent Dancer and Boxer
Actually, Bruce lee studied dancing as hard as he studied martial arts: he was an excellent dancer who, at 18 years of age, won the 1958 Hong Kong Cha Cha Championship! Bruce was also a great boxer: he won the 1958 Boxing Championship - by knockout, of course.He is a true legend
