many television and film productions including The Green Hornet and Enter the Dragon. He was an ardent
student of Wing Chun Kung Fu and developed and successfully spread his own style, Jeet Kune Do. Bruce
Lee passed away in 1973 at the age of 33. He left behind a legacy to be admired and honored.
With his superb talent in martial arts and in action movies, he was able to revolutionize Asian culture,

He is one of the only movie stars who became more famous after his death. His legacy will never die.

students to explore their skills and to develop a family-like atmosphere among different martial arts styles.
In 2001, the Battle Columbus joined with the Arnold Sports Festival as partners and grew to over 4,000
athletes and over 10,000 spectators.

honor masters, competitors, coaches, promoters, and volunteers who have dedicated more than 10 years
of service to develop the Arnold Battle Columbus into a wonderful martial arts championship.
