did bruce lee get his talents and genetics from either his parents or grandparents, because its possible to get fighting talents from parents and ancestors or did he just work hard non-stop, because he REALLY worked his hardest and maybe i was thinking he had an advantage by having genetic talents from his ancestors? did his father or grandfather fight like he did?

Probably both. Any world champion in any sport for example has both the highest level genetics and highest level training, and needs both to win.
Training gives the biggest advantage though.
For example in fighting sports if you have excellent genetics but no training you will get killed by anyone even in the lowest fighting ranks.
However even if you have poor genetics as long as you train very hard you can hold your own against the middle ranks.

I don't know if his parents or grandparents could fight or not, but I do know that you CANNOT get fighting through genes.That's impossible........Fighting is something that has to be taught. Just because one's parents could fight, that doesn't make you a good fighter as well. Bruce Lee fought good because he trained smart and that's all there is to it.

Like others said, you can not get it from genetics. Bruce Lee was like that because he trained hard. He overcame being a loner to a name that every one knows

Bruce's dad wasn't a martial artist. He was an opera and theatre director. Bruce got into martial arts after getting beat up one day. I forget the name of his teacher but I know nobody in his family were fighters.

You either have it in you or you don't, can't be past down. Bruce Lee had one of the most admirable training ethics and habits. He just practice and practice.

Benny Urquidez is a good example to support your theory.
His Mother was a Professional Wrestler, his Father was a Professional Boxer; and his siblings are all Black Belts.

Fighting ability is not hereditary.
Being a natural fighter is possible though.
He was obsessed with working out and improving his physique and skills, that made him great.

Well bruce's father was a kung fu master but I think he wasn't as good as bruce, so i think he just worked hard (really hard)
