To the dismay of his parents, Lee got involved in street fights, which was when they decided it was time for him to train in martial arts. The young Lee studied Wing Chun, a Chinese form of martial arts under teacher Yip Man, whose classes consisted of chi sao (sticking hands) drills, wooden dummy techniques, and free-sparring. Lee was encouraged to fight in organized competitions by Yip Man and later moved to the U.S.

He arrived with just $100 in his pocket and lived in San Francisco for a few months before settling in Seattle to finish high school, which is also where he where he began teaching martial arts and opened his first studio.
