Merriam-Webster's Dictionary defines agility as the state of being agile: that is, to be "marked by ready ability to move with quick easy grace" or to be "having a quick resourceful and adaptable character". With such a broad definition, it can be said that any sporting discipline in which proficiency is judged, in part or in full, by the use of one's physical abilities in reaction to an opponent or the circumstances of the sport in question, requires agility.

Much of Bruce Lee's edge in Martial Arts came from the fact that the reason his family was wealthy, or at least upper class, had to do with their Beijing opera background. Bruce Lee trained to be a Beijing Opera stage performer as a boy before he learned Kung Fu at the age of 14. When he took up Kung Fu, he was already relatively well conditioned, coordinated and flexible.
