Bruce Lee was a genious in the wu shu disciplines.He
has taught and trained many people, ordinary and celebrities alike.His own style which he called "Jeet Kune do" or the way of the intercepting fist is by far the most superior fighting method in todays martial world.The many people that he taught this art to surely benefitted immensely.It is a well known fact that Bruce trained his son Brandon in Jeet Kune Do.He obviously trained him well as can be seen in the few films that Brandon made.Bruce's daughter Shannon appeared in a movie which I saw, and her wu shu was very good.I have not seen her in another film since then,one wonders if she is still practicing her Father's art or has she stopped.I dont know if Bruce has any grandchildren and if so will they continue to use the legacy he has left behind.

another correction:
Bruce Lee is not a master in Chinese Martial Arts....
He is not even called a teacher....
why?
because Chinese Martial Arts community is getting angry to Bruce because he exposed the art of Kung Fu to the public especially to the whites....
if Bruce Lee is a Master of Wing Chun
and Yip Man is also a Master of Wing Chun
and Wong Shun Leong is also a Master of Wing Chun
then who is the student and practitioner????
for how many MASTER there exists in WING CHUN????
the truth is...
Bruce Lee is only a Kung Fu Practitioner and not a Master....
a Kung Fu Practitioner who revised all the Chinese Martial Arts and invent Jeet Kune Do for fame, money and fortune....

there are some sort of corrections to your questions:
you said:
Bruce Lee was a genious in the wu shu disciplines.
comment:
Bruce Lee's disciplines is not wu shu,
since wu shu is a watered-down systems of Chinese martial arts...
it can be compared like attending to a birthday party... while the food that you take is purely LEFT-OVERS....
Kung Fu is the correct term and not Wu Shu....
you said:
His own style which he called "Jeet Kune do"
take note, Jeet Kune Do is NOT A STYLE, it is a system of the art that revised by Bruce Lee with a foundations of Wing Chun,
if there is no Wing Chun therefore, Jeet Kune Do is extremely useless....
