It has been decades since Bruce Lee left the world and his fans. The legend surely had a short life span, but his work speaks for him. Lee was known for his defensive style of martial arts, which is unique in terms of modern MMA.

Lee had a different style of fighting. He didn’t focus on offense but respected his opponents a lot. He always stuck to defense rather than offense. Lee also always believed that martial arts weren’t something to be used against somebody for no reason. He described martial arts as a defensive technique. His legacy also gave birth to Jeet Kune Do. The modern MMA does follow Lee’s legacy, although it is rare to find a martial artist who is just like Lee. The contemporary world doesn’t see things the same as the legend did, but it still has its own form that the legend would also have been proud of.
