Bruce Lee promoted the modern concept of martial arts to the world through his many movie roles. He

was born on November 27, 1940, in Hong Kong, was a graduate of Washington State University, and

starred in 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,

perceptions of the martial arts, and perceptions of Asian people in the western hemisphere forever.

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

The Battle of Columbus started in 1976 by SGM Joon P. Choi with the idea of promoting true diversity in

students to explore their skills and to develop a family-like atmosphere among different martial arts styles.

The Battle of Columbus steadily grew in size and quality, and it became a true international martial arts

event by producing many Olympians and world champions.

In 2001, Battle of Columbus joined with Arnold Sports Festival as a Sports partner and grew to over 4,000

competitors and over 10,000 spectators.

In 2015, in conjunction with The Bruce Lee and Martial Arts Hall of Honor Induction, SGM Choi decided to

honor masters, competitors, coaches, promoters, and volunteers who dedicated more than 10 years of

service to develop the Battle of Columbus into a wonderful martial arts championship.
