Bruce Lee, the most prominent figure in the Martial arts history was not a Karate master like many like to believe, he was never in favor of Karate, infact in most of his movies you will see him "bashing guys in a Karate dresses. The most famous being he single handedly taking on a bunch of Karate black belts in the movie BIG BOSS" Bruce Lee was a student of Wing Chung, a traditional Kung Fu style
He challenged all kinds of traditional martial arts later and came up with his very own style "Jeet Kun Do" which was way ahead of its times! it is non-traditional with short moves and completely based on street defense, but today, Karate is the most popular form of Martial art, though slowely being overtaken by MMA and other modern fusion of martial ats and the numero uno reason for that is the way thousands of clubs and masters have projected him as a Karate Master!
In India alone there are thousands of clubs showing Bruce Lee in a Karate Gi in its Ads. This is according to me the height of irony, its like holding a jewish meet and having a picture of a Nazi General!
Below are some of the most famous fight scene of Bruce Lee ever. One thing you will see in common is "A Karate Black Belt" being bashed all the time
