Is Bruce Lee a representative of traditional martial arts

No, on the contrary, Bruce Lee was a rebel of traditional martial arts.

Bruce Lee was y impressed by the fact that the traditional martial arts had too many beautiful, but useless tricks, which he considered to be misleading, so he devoted his efforts to the creation of the Intercepting Fist Do, that is, all the starting point of the actual combat, simple and direct, straight to the heart of the matter of the kung fu.

Since his return to Hong Kong from the United States, he has repeatedly criticized traditional Chinese martial arts on different occasions, speaking out of turn, and for this reason he has angered the Hong Kong martial arts community, with which he has formed a deep and long-standing grudge.

The Hong Kong martial arts community does not regard Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do as a straight path, but as a crooked path. Bruce Lee believed that one could do whatever it took to checkmate the enemy. In the movie, he appeared to defuse the fight by biting his opponent's arm with his teeth.

This theory of Bruce Lee was regarded as anathema by many in the martial arts world. Bruce Lee's reasoning is very simple: you jeopardize in an instant, but also care about what the road is not the road!

Bruce Lee violated the taboo of the martial arts, causing public anger among martial arts practitioners in Hong Kong. They believe that not only is Bruce Lee's martial arts unrecognizable, he is also a traitor to the martial arts world.
