When did Bruce Lee start martial arts?

[Prince of China]

I heard he started at the age of 13 which is inspirational because that's the age that I started martial arts. What exactly did he do when he started martial arts? And how did he die? I've searched the internet but I couldn't give you a straight answer, I was hoping that you guys could give me one. I heard his son died from a gunshot from a gun that was thought to be just a prop.

He had a stroke i think.

His only son, Brandon Lee, died during the filming of 'The Crow' when he was shot in the chest by a gun that was supposed to have blank ammo.

They still had enough film to finish the movie, so thats why you can watch it today.

It doesn't matter when you started doing martial arts, Bruce Lee took his training very, very seriously, and not just his martial arts, but also fitness and strength. He was never the greatest fighter in the world, as some people like to think, but he has probably done more for martial arts than anyone has ever done.

he made his body look good, because of hollywood... otherwise he'd be skinny with no muscles..

I heard that the only reason he was chosen to come to hollywood was because out of his entire class, he could speak the best english. Still had some fresh ideas that actually worked, would have been interesting to see what he thought of krav maga though.

ne ways , if he didnt die , he wouldnt be so popular today

I didn't like Ong Bak. It had too much fancy acrobatic moves, which is okay for forms and katas at competitions, but not real martial art.
