      There was more power in the first three side kicks evident by the dent of the bag, than the one lee advocated. Lewis lost momentum when doing the fuller extention. The bigger movement of the bag going back is just his leg pushing forward.

      How many worlds fighting championships have you won?
      Joe Lewis (March 7, 1944 - August 31, 2012) was an American martial artist, professional kickboxer and actor. Originally a practitioner of Shōrin-ryū karate and champion in point sparring competitions, he became one of the fathers of full contact karate and kickboxing in the United States, and is credited with popularizing the combat sport in North America.
      As a fighter, Lewis gained fame for his matches in the 1960s and 1970s, and was nicknamed "the Muhammad Ali of karate." He has twice been voted the greatest fighter in karate history, having won innumerable karate tournaments, and has attained the titles of "United States Heavyweight Kickboxing Champion," "World Heavyweight Full Contact Karate Champion," and "United States National Black Belt Kata Champion." Though initially trained and primarily known as a karateka, Lewis cross-trained in several other martial arts, including Ryukyu Kenpo, boxing, judo, jeet kune do, tai chi, and folkstyle wrestling.
      His friend and training partner Bruce Lee coined him "The Greatest Karate Fighter of All Time." He was also named by the STAR System World Kickboxing Ratings as the "STAR Historic Undisputed Heavyweight World Champion" and is credited on their site as the "Father of Modern Kickboxing". He competed professionally from 1965 to 1983, with a 16-1-4 record and 14 wins by knockout.

    What a stand up guy Joe was to take the time to put this together to let us have an inside look into Bruce’s world and how he taught world class fighters. Oh Bruce was much more than a movie star. I’d say he was a combat fighter who happened to do movies on the side.

    This was awesome. It shows how Bruce Lee was in fact training some high level martial artists who had already established themselves. Not by old systems but by principles and processes rooted and tested as much as possible for real combat so they could incorporate that into their own style. It was very enlightening how Joe Lewis shows us exactly that evolution of what he learned from Bruce and what he did with it. Amazing to see this. I like his self deprecating reference to his side kick. What can you show me Bruce? Hahaha ...apparently a lot!!!! It's good of Joe to give Bruce his props and I am sure Bruce had great respect for Joe as well and learned a number of things from him. I know Joe competed but Bruce was more about the art of fighting and not the sport of fighting. For all the crap written about Bruce just being an actor etc. one just has to watch this and know that Joe Lewis would not have wasted all his time training with Bruce if he was just that. Now I know what Bruce meant when he said be like water. The transfer of energy from your body. Speed, power and deceptiveness. That is a lethal combination.

You can even see Lewis move a lot like Lee did in the movies, especially with his footwork. It's almost a mirror image when you see Lewis fight during that era.

    Bruce Lee was a researcher of scrutinizing Martial Arts moves, on paper, or by discussion. Joe Lewis, on the other hand was a master of basic techniques ,that he learn from masters, and put them to use in physical combat, winning him his honor and recognition as a real fighter, but there is a difference between the two . A real fighter may be surprised in a fight , hurt or dazed , but his fighting experience keeps him in the game till it’s over . A philosopher of martial arts has never been pushed to the limit or injured to have to come back another day to fight .
    A philosopher, will never know what it’s like to achieve mastery as a fighter in real a fight , fighting a per as good as of better than himself .and his concepts though they make sense will still categorize him as a scientist of martial arts techniques, but not a fighter .
    A fighter may lose some times , but his heart is a such he will fight again .
    Bruce protected what heart he had by doing exhibition, in stead of showing , Vic Moore , joe Lewis , Mike stone chuck Norris , that he was capable of beating anyone of them , by fighting them publicly.
