What was Bruce Lee's childhood like?
- Bruce Lee was born on November 27, 1940, at the Chinese Hospital, in San Francisco's Chinatown.
- Bruce was the fourth child of five children: Phoebe Lee, Agnes, Peter Lee, and Robert Lee. Lee and his parents returned to Hong Kong when he was three months old.

Inform and explain
Unfortunately we will never know enough about Bruce's explosive speed. His attacks were never clocked because the technology was not readily available. We do know that he was way to fast for the camera speed at that time and was constantly told to slow down because he looked like a blur on the screen. The only real indication to his speed is the rare videos of his seminars he would give. His backfist was INCREDIBLE!

What nunchaku did Bruce Lee use?
The first time Bruce uses nunchaku on film is with his favourite wooden set at the time made by friend George Lee when playing Kato in LA, in the episode Hunters and Hunted in 1966. Light wooden batons, 3 deep grip grooves.
In Fist of Fury he used a black worn wooden set, tapered batons with 3 light grooves, believed given to Bob Baker then passed on in HK. He also used a rubber set for the film's showdown, grip grooves down the batons. These Kato and Fist sets are with a UK collector, never displayed. A makeshift rubber set was used in the dojo but fell apart so didn't survive.
He uses 2 sets of very lightweight nunchucks in Way of the Dragon to actually hit actors with, vinyl covered, swivels, given to friends, lost in time.
In Enter the Dragon 3-4 sets were made for Bruce and Han's guards, tapered wooden batons covered in vinyl with swivel clips. Bruce actually uses a different pair for his display scene, another for the cave trap, and another for on set photos. 1 of the sets is again with a UK collector, another set was with the World of Bruce Lee museum, presumably back with the Lee family.
Finally he uses a lightweight set in Game of Death covered in yellow vinyl with cord not chain, believed with Dan Inosanto or a close US friend.
Did Bruce Lee invent tae kwon do?
Bruce Lee was born in the 20th century, long after Taekwando was created.
Lee is credited with the formation of the Jeet Kun Do school of martial arts, or "Way of the Intercepting Fist." Lee practiced this form extraordinarily well but, as is the case in a few forms, the teacher seems to have had difficulty in passing on the lesson, and Jeet Kun Do is a difficult form to master, and has drawn a small number of practitioners. It's a non-patterned form and almost more of a philosophy, often eschewing classical techniques. In Lee's own words, "you either get it or you don't."

Jet Li is head and shoulders above Bruce Lee. Not an insult to Lee but mythology turned Lee into much more than he was. China declared Jet Li a national treasure when he was a teen. By the time he was 17 he was a 5 time martial arts champion.
Jet Li was/is a prodigy.
ANSWER 2: I would say Bruce Lee, Bruce Lee has been fighting longer so he has more experience, even though he's dead. He also kicked Chuck Norris's A**.
