not true. Lee was a martial arts legend in taiwan/hk/china well before he became a movie star in the United States. He hit with an incredible amount of strength that could easily crush anything it touches with speed and precision. In his films, the camera often had to slow down because his hands moved way too quickly.
Like most gymnasts, martial artists train all their lives and as a result,
it severely stunts their growth. That is why Jet Li is relatively small as well, but the weight is more or less inconsequential. Having big muscles is good in an american style grappling contest, though.
