"Bruce Lee inspired generations of folks around the world to explore martial arts. My own path, through my brother, is just one such example. People watch Lee's movies, read his words, study his art of Jeet Kune Do, and are inspired-but what if you could take all that inspiration and create programming directly aimed at fostering resilience and growth in kids? This was the idea Shannon Lee had for the activities of the non-profit Bruce Lee Foundation."
"The Bruce Lee Foundation describes itself as helping motivate "individuals around the world to become the best version of themselves." This is based on 3 pillars of youth mental wellness, community connection,on and inclusivity based in the legacy and teachings of Bruce Lee. Over its almost 25 years, the Foundation reports it has "created online and physical exhibits to educate people about Bruce Lee, provided financial assistance for students to attend college, supported educational programs and run our Camp Bruce Lee summer program for kids.""
"The most recent focus is the Warrior Academy program, in partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs, currently running at several schools in Southern California. Warrior Academy, now in its third semester, is a 10-week after-school program that helps young people build emotional resilience, self-confidence, and physical strength. The curriculum blends martial arts training, mindfulness practices, and social-emotional learning, all grounded in the philosophies of Bruce Lee."
