    :lol: The hands might be a crucial part of OS's game but if he can strike with his wrists...we could have a classic on our hands.

    British-colonised Hong Kong, not China. A very very different place.

    He was actually born in California.

    Didn't know that, I thought he was born in Hong Kong.

    I don't know the difference other then Hong Kong was owned by the British and Mainland China was Communist.

    I don't blame you, it's a very easy mistake to make, me including. It's not like you said he's from Japan... that one still makes me feel like: :huh:huh:huh

    IIRC his father was an actor in a travelling troupe and they happened to be in Cali when Bruce was born. And then of course they all returned to Hong Kong which was where he spent most of his childhood.

    I think the fact that he did most of his growing up in British-colonised Hong Kong allowed his childhood to have some luxuries and exposure to both Eastern and Western cultures (notwithstanding he was born in the West) which made him into the Bruce Lee we know today.
