What did Bruce Lee look like?

Well, actually it's really difficult to have a body like Bruce Lee's. Why?

First, he has a lot of dietary plan's since the beginning, as you see his muscles were really different from those people who does lots of workout. Second, he has dedicated his life expanding his knowledge in martial arts and though he was lean when not in a "concentration", he has a very steel-like ones and that makes him a fast-mover. He only eat what was good for his body. But, if you really wanted to have a body like him, engage into some hard training on yourself, and you would attain the body that you wanted to have.

Ash is right although Bruce lee did not follow an extremly strict dietary system, if you want to look like Bruce a low % of body fat is essential. Bruce ate alot of Asian cusine, which is perfect if your looking to kept your body fat % low because of its meat to vegatable ratio(Asian cusine has more vegatables than meat in most dishes).

by using weights Bruce was able to build more muscle but weights builds bulk muscle, it does not add definition. If you seek definition over bulk do free weights, i.e push ups ,chin ups ect. But if you desire to be like Bruce you must find the perfect balance between weights and free wieghts.

try weights 3x a week and every other day free weights and be careful you don't stagnate. im 16 years old and can do 40 chin ups, 70 push ups and bench 90kg. i find that a combination of free weights and weights is very effective.

How many styles of fighting are there?

There is only one style of ballet.
However, There are lots of similar dance styles to ballet, for example Lyrical Modern or Contemporary.
IMPROVED ANSWER..
There are three main styles of ballet, classical, neoclassical, and contemporary ballet. They are all ballet, although the way of performing and the vocabulary and technical aspect of them are different. Classical ballet is a more formal type and follows traditional ballet techniques. It isn't as strict and you can get away with mistakes easily. It was the beginning of pointe work and the shoe was a regular ballet slipper with a tightened tip. Neoclassical ballet, on the other hand, is decidedly more strict. The dancers often dance at faster and more difficult tempos. The spacing on stage is also more modern and organization is more varied. Contemporary ballet was influenced by classical ballet and modern dance. It takes some pointe techniques from classical ballet, although it is less strict. It is influenced by modern dance in terms of the positions of the body and how you move. George Balanchine is considered a major innovator toward the introduction of contemporary ballet.
Another Answer:
There are five different styles or syllabuses from different countries.

What was Bruce Lee's cause of death?

Following the untimely death of Bruce Lee, there were many rumors and speculations about the cause of his death. These rumors ranged from murder to drug overdose. None of which were true.

For the most part, the course of events on that fateful July day in 1973 can be pieced together. According to Lee's wife, Linda, Bruce met film producer Raymond Chow at 2 p.m. at home to discuss the making of Game of Death. They worked until 4 p.m., and then drove together to the home of Betty Tingpei, a Taiwanese actress who was to also have a leading role in the film. The three went over the script at Tingpei's home, and then Chow left to attend a dinner meeting.

A short time later, Lee complained of a headache and Tingpei gave him a tablet of Equagesic, a kind of super aspirin Apart from that, Lee reportedly consumed nothing but a couple of soft drinks.

At around 7:30 p.m., Lee lay down for a nap and was still asleep when Chow called to ask why he and Tingpei had not yet shown up for dinner as planned. The actress told Chow she could not wake Lee. The ensuing autopsy found traces of cannabis in Lee's stomach, but the significance of this discovery is debatable. Some believe the cannabis caused a chemical reaction that led to the cerebral edema, but the coroner's inquiry refutes this theory. In fact, one doctor was quoted as saying that the cannabis being in Lee's stomach was "no more significant than if Bruce had drunk a cup of tea that morning."

After a lengthy coroner's inquest in Hong Kong, a panel of medical experts eventually concluded that Bruce Lee had died from a hypersensitive reaction to a compound in the drug Equagesic. This hypersensitivity led to a swelling of the brain and resulted in Bruce Lee entering a deep coma from which he never awoke. The coroner declared himself satisfied with the finding, and so did his wife, Linda Lee.

It's all just theatrics from the influence of his family's Beijing Opera, and as with all things he was a libertine who liked to create his own original style.

Who would win Bruce Lee vs Tony Jaa?

tony jaa would destroy Bruce lee. Bruce doesn't even compare to jaa

It very clear that Bruce Lee would have won this fight. Why? because Bruce Lee was a real fighter he grew up fighting, I think that the reason we would say otherwise is because we base our answers on what we see in movies, Tony Jaa is a great fighter but I've never seen any of his real stuff Bruce Lee on the other hand you can youtube him and you'll find him fighting in tournaments, you'll find him peforming his 1 inch punch, Bruce started out as a street fighter and once he learned how to fight well he got older and famous but that didnt keep him from his focus which was to find what fighting tequniques worked. He later found that there was not one but many, the reason I mention this is because it is important that you know he would have won because he had more than one fighting style he said "Use only that which works, and take it from any place you can find it." Bruce Lee was the real deal and to the person that said Bruce Lee doesn't even compare to Jaa well that is a biased answer, as a matter of fact Tony Jaa grew up watching Bruce Lee movies. "What they do was so beutiful, so heroic that I wanted to do it to" Tony Jaa told time in 2004 interview "I practiced until I could do the move exactly as I had seen the masters do it."
