TODAY’S TRAINING INSPIRATION:
BRUCE LEE

Today’s Colin Timberlake Training Inspiration is a man who is viewed by many as the father of mixed martial arts.

Bruce Lee’s dedication to martial arts, in its various forms, was unparalleled in his day. In addition to an absolute mastery of martial arts as they relate to performance and exhibition, he was also renowned for phenomenal application of martial arts in practical and combat situations.


Bruce Lee’s style and techniques not only changed martial arts films, but changed martial arts themselves. In many ways, his relentless study of various martial arts and combination of their techniques set a precedent for today’s MMA.

He also took a multifaceted approach to fitness as his training progressed, utilizing various aspects of cross-training such as weightlifting for strength, distance running for endurance and a detailed flexibility program.

Lee authored The Tao of Jeet June Do, in which he relays the benefits of his experience, experimentation and accumulated wisdom in physical fitness, mental focus and hand-to-hand combat.

Due to his applied focus not only on the martial arts, but on physique and physical fitness, many bodybuilders also credit Bruce Lee with influencing their careers, among them: Lou Ferrigno, Lee Haney and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
