Having been a huge Bruce Lee fan for 40 years and researching everything on the man, these episodes are outstanding, THANKYOU for your awesome content 👍
I am certain on July 20, 1973 that Bruce Lee had a seizure also. Wong Shun Leung did an interview (available in Cantonese on RUclips) that he went to the hospital, saw Bruce Lee's corpse and noticed that his feet were curled up as if he had a fit of seizure, as if he died under some duress. No question July 20th was a second episode of May 10th.
I have read about a scientific research of his early demise. This research has been made recently. They have investigated all information concerned with conditions of bruce lee's death and concluded that his death highly likely was due to hypernatremia caused by using illegal drugs, drugs.....also he had a very small percentage of fat, stress, poor diet in his last days. All these things provoked a cerebral edema.
@@ixxi9193 Master Lee did indeed DIE of SUDEP.
@@ixxi9193in the history of man kind there has never been a single recorded cash of a hashish overdose. The 7 up cans on bettys dresser holds the key to what killed Bruce Lee 😮. It was the Hong Kong heat and bettys vagina and cunnilingus that killed the little dragon
I can see 80’s Bruce Lee wearing a sport coat and a Kurt Russel mullet taking over Don Johnson’s role in Miami vice
You’re so right about the absurdity that Bruce Lee never saw a high kick until he came to United States and met up with Chuck Norris and John Rhee Is so ridiculous that I expect to see Mr. Rourke and tattoo welcoming me to fantasy Island.
Yo!!! Thanks for the shoutout!!! This episode was great as usual, but I think Bob Marley would rank top of the list of the other Bobs, although there may not have been a direct connection with Bruce...
I've got 2 questions for you:
1) In the Donnie Yen film "Kung Fu Killer" there's talk about each victim being an expert of one of four disciplines: hand techniques, seizing and locking, legs and kicking techniques, and weaponry (Kuen Faat, Tui Faat, Kum Na/Seut Faat, Mouh Hei). Are these legitimate martial culture references or are they just movie plot magic?
And a much simpler question:
2) Had he lived and continued making films, do you think Bruce Lee would ever play a villain?
You see Bruce Lee throwing high kicks in his screen test for the green hornet!
Hey KFG!! Another awesome show!! Just wondering have you seen the morgue pic (I'm sure you have) of Bruce Lee. I have a family member that suffered from seizures early in life (since controlled with medication) but you're right it's a pretty horrific sight to see with the convulsions their bodies go through and as you mention the thrashing about and how parts of the body curl because of the muscle spasms that occur!
Great episode! Many thanks :)
Death by Misadventure documentary is definitely worth a watch, an old documentary but has a long on screen interview with Dr Langford where he says a lot of what is written in the book by Marcos👌
Have it on vhs in my basement
A good question on high kicks!! Love that question from Josias!!
"No high kicks"
*stares in Heinrich Pfaff"
Their Back... Episode 111, super fantastic, loving again the original format. WoW, lots of great content here. The Bruce Lee May 10th account was fascinating. I keep envisioning the Bruce 'Thrashing' about scene -- feels like a game video movie, very visual. The segway to the least favorite Bob, perfect timing! And BruceLee80s! I keep thinking if Bruce and Jackie Chani would have mixed well in a flick or two?! (well beyond Jackie just being a killed extra)
That random 30 part question about Bruce and kicks, throws and JKD, perfectly answered and so agree with the KFGs take on the matter. It is amazing how many are so pigeon held (perhaps Mike Tyson's art) on martial arts generalizations even more so, about Bruce's art, that was cut short, thus so many 'canned' versions and definitions to make a one's head spin more than Linda Blair Exorcists takes! You did a marvelous job setting it straight, Bravo again KFG.
The story about Sifu Leung Ting was awesome! In today's world it has multiplied 100-fold with 'online' teaching/teachers where just a bit of info, can make one authority to teach others. It seems to be ok to just be 2 steps ahead of others and have a notion to teach. So good for him to cut them off the pass. Unfortunately in today's world, it is an "amazon reseller' mentality thing to do.
Again, with subject of martial arts teaching and such, the student hopefully knows, the Why? They are taking the art? the Which art that encompasses what they are looking for, i.e. Self Defense purposes, exercise and discipline, as a way of life... The Where and Who I hope is answered with studying what is available in your area for your 'Why'. The idea of treating them all as a portion of this one blob is way too general.
So question for Sifu KFG, at City Wing Tsun, do you incorporate 'philosophy' in your training, or is that shared here on your podcast for the most part?
Good episode .Would love to see you interview The Bioneer on here.
Interesting trivia. Peter Morgan said Paul McCartneys people called golden harvest right before Bruce Lee died and wanted him as part of the group of renegades on the band on the run cover. Sadly bettys misadventure ruined that dream and a month later Jimmy coburn replaced Bruce on the cover. Bruce and Paul McCartney should have done a movie together. Live and let die should have been the theme song to enter the dragon. Bruce Lee should have been in Paul’s video coming up
Hey sifu, Love your channel. Saw you on my buddy's channel Viking samurai David, you did a great job on there. I actually had two ideas for your show. What if Bruce Lee lived to be in the last dragon? How would that have gone? And my other question is if Brandon Lee had live longer, what do you think he would have done? Tomorrow is the official day he passed away in 1993 and my birthday is tomorrow and my mom told me the news as I was cutting my birthday cake for my 10th birthday and was excited to see the crow and it's devastated me and haunted me to the core up until today. Thank you guys for your time,
Drew Danger
Very nice episode 🙂👍👍👍
Closest thing I’ve seen in a movie where he used Jeet Kune Do was his part in Game of Death.
Low. 1. KICK DOWN 2. USE THE HEEL 3. PRESS FORWARD and DOWN to add STANK. 😂 4. Kick up to the waist. 5. KICK ANYTHING UNSTABLE OR UNSTEADY. 6. FOLLOW UP SAME SIDE HAND as you land. Back leg oblique kick? Right cross BUI GEE and shift to southpaw. Begin leads. 🤓💥💯
Great podcast man
Thanks for listening
You guys should get Austin St John (Red Ranger from Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers) on the podcast. He became an EMT after he left the show and helped out soldiers in either Iraq or Afghanistan. He's kept active and still practices martial arts.
He was a trainer for a year at the Gold’s gym in Herndon, Virginia. I think his presence helped boost membership
I agree with Dre, the t-1000 would have been the ideal role for Bruce. He would have added some lines philosophising about flowing like water, being formless and the dualistic yin yang nature of hitting like metal :)
By the way got a copy of your movement book- it's awesome!
Do you have any stories about Sifu Martin Dragos?
Thank you for ordering my book! As for Martin D., he threatened to sue me (an American) on a freedom of speech issue (from Germany) when I may or may not have used an image of his pants to demonstrate that giving oneself gold stripes does not make one a grandmaster by Chinese cultural (or Wing Tsun) standards. Someone must have told him that pursuing a freedom of speech issue against an American would probably be very expensive for him and would not be successful in a million years. Three years later my lawyer is eagerly awaiting this lawsuit! That's all I have to say about that.
Betty and chow should’ve been put in prison for negligence. They totally failed this case🤦♂️
Yeah they LITERALLY let Bruce Lee die on July 20th 1973, it's almost as though they wanted to make sure He was dead before calling for an ambulance, I don't know all the facts nor do I claim to but the way it all went down definitely seems hinky
@@texasgent4694 I am so glad you see what I see.
Happy Kungfu night!
What are your thoughts on this, on one of my questions you mentioned some times some moves are for show or demonstration but not for fighting or self defense, but if someone is at a convention or competition or tournament and some one from a style is doing some form or fancy thing, we assume that’s what they teach and use, so people look at it and critique that it’s not practical, so maybe the teacher should say something before the demo that they teach this skills or techniques but it’s for entertainment, but maybe they won’t get many students cause we want to see and do those tricks, make it work and look good doing it
That may 10 collapse details is giving me nightmares
The U.S. Army definitely agrees getting that Physical Training at "Oh-Dark-Thirty" is the way to go! Nice episode, Si-Gung.
The Death by Misadventure interview With Dr.Langford Bruce,s Personal Doctor. Goes well into Details about Saving Bruce Lee on May the 10th,Collapse, Thankfully he and Dr,Peter Woo was a Neurologist,Who treated Bruce Lee, when Summoned by Dr.Langford Together with Ceceil Wong who Put Under for Calming His Body For The Seriously Needed Life saving Treatment. As Dr.Woo said he was Very fortunate That Great Treatment Team was there..Dr Peter Was Not Convinced that Bruce wouldn't stop Using Canibis .,That he Warned Bruce not use Again. as Linda Lee ,Stated Once Fate has Ways We Cannot Change! long Live Bruce Lee!
Me and My GF as Doctors listening ...🤔
Hey! You mentioned my name again!
Another Q for your AMA: Have you seen Grandmaster Leung Ting's "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad Kung Fu World!" ?Just came across the title and Hong KOng IMDB contains some info...sounds fun!
This one got me in my feels. Mikey D being comic relief thank goodness.
Sounds like a good book think I may buy that
Bruce Lee as a child was the Macaulay Culkin of Cantonese film. Imagine 15 years after home alone Macaulay culkin becomes the greatest martial artist of all times and makes his own version of big boss which breaks all the box office records Mind blowing. Maculay culkin and Shaq remake game of death. You see in the country. Yee heeee. Don’t forget how influential Bruce Lee was as a film maker. Return of the dragon’s soundtrack is brilliant. Very chaplinesque. ‘Chinese spare ribs well let me show you man’. Bruce lees brilliance in enter the dragon doing the whole shaolin monk as a secret agent brilliant
Correction on Bob Wall's ETG karate gi. It was white, not yellow. But yeah, he may have sold quite a few "originals" over the years.
You’re right!
Funny that you mentioned Bob Wall knocking out Samo Hung several times during the filming of Game of Death. I just watched what interview (included in the movie/DVD) several days ago.
Didn't know that - thought Sammo could easily wipe the floor will Bob Wall, given how sloppy his techniques are.
@jamesbarbour8400 Bob Wall did not knock out Sammo Hung. The late Mr Wall was a serial liar unfortunately.
@@TheKungFuGenius hi and thank you for your reply. Yes indeed, Bob has a bit of a reputation in that regard. I question the premise simply because, although Sammo wasn't particularly muscular - somewhat rotund in fact, there can be no doubting his martial arts prowess. One only has to visit a few of his movies with Jackie Chan in the early 80s, or even the fight with Bruce Lee at the start of EtD, to witness how agile, fast and skilled he actually was. In the TV series, Martial Law, again he shows his undoubted physical prowess.
I have only found your channel recently, (the subject matter being Bruce Lees' so called drug letters), and enjoy it very much, and 'Golden Bell Training' channel also. Of a much more dubious nature however, is pretty much anything put up by 'Beerdy' !
Whilst he does come up with some interesting footage or rare pics, his interpretation of said material can best be described as somewhat dubious !
45:48 Absolutely. We have high kicks. But.. not every person should opt to try for a head kick 1. ⚠️It’s illegal. Using a SHOD FOOT will land you in silver bracelets. In our curriculum we are required to kick in 8 directions. That’s all. High kicking can be devastating. We don’t always have the room though. Some people are tough. Others are smart. Being both is best. 😛
.....say no to drugs. Even bruce was not strong enough to avoid its effects
Agree there is no styles of a blend of everything.love your work brother
Right on
Greetings.
Remedial question. Where can I order the Lee book?
If you Google the title “the death of Bruce Lee“ book I’m sure you’ll get the link very quickly. There is only one place in Spain that selling it.
Glad I looked it up.
ADR
automated dialogue replacement
The "Aikido" like stuff that Bruce did in his movies makes sense, since he was longtime friends with Wally Jay (Aikijujutsu/Judo), no?
Next segment on the KFG, Dreison Speculation
Curious of Betty Tin Pei is still alive? Would be cool to have her interviewed
She is still alive, but she doesn’t really say anything.
great podcast! One correction though! It was when the doctor was trying to stick something into his bladder I believe from his private part is when he started thrashing out because it caused him to be uncomfortable. Not from the pipe in his throat. This is because the doctor gave him the mannitol which leads to excessive urine in the bladder!
I got my info from the direct account from the doctor, but this episode is sos old I don’t remember the details.
Chuck Norris loves to perpetuate that high kick I showed Bruce Lee blah blah blah story because it fits his narrative of them Mutually exchanging techniques and ideas. I don’t doubt that chuck showed offHis spinning back kicks to Bruce after all, it was his signature move. But this idea of shock saying let me school you on how to do a spinning backyard is absurd
I have this book but the updated version. Funnily enough - None of Beerdy's medical sources are mentioned anywhere 😂😂
Haha
18:53 What kind of shape was he in Alex? Was he sickly? I’m not sure how he was clocking in back then. Like.. he was in better shape then any other guy at that time. But maybe with the hits on the head all the time. He probably had scar tissue? No? That’s why I treat people as good as I can. Because we are these BRIEF THINGS. ☹️
I agree! There are only 2 Terminator movies!!!!! 💯
When Bruce had his first attack in the dubbing room he survived by a hair. So when the second attack from poison occurred they wanted to make sure that he doesn’t get revived like the first time so that is why there’s a lot of strange things surrounding his death. The same situation with Robert Kennedy how he was lying there for the longest time until help arrived.
According to Golden Bell, Bruce also collapsed during filming the mirror room scene in EtD. First I'd heard of that - I was always of the impression that 10th May, 1973, was his first collapse, when he was dubbing the movie ?
Gentelmen, What caused the cerebral edema was the electricity training he was doing at that time. He over did it with the electricity traning.
That’s a silly and long-debunked myth. Thank you for playing! Now try again.
Can I get a link to purchase the Death of Bruce Lee book?
Google: the death of bruce lee , place is in Spain
@@TheKungFuGenius thank you
Thanks! Just ordered it!!👍😁
@@serak1977 make sure you get the reversed edition which was put together after the drug-letters. Marcos had to add that into the mix. I hope Alex also get the 2nd. edition of this book
The humidity in Hong Kong can be absolutely suffocating. A concrete jungle. Most likely that apartment had no air conditioning and he was really over extending himself affairs with two women demanding boss and wife. That’s lots of work and stress. Lifestyle and stress killed Bruce Lee not ninjas with Chinese stars yo 😊
11:19 185 buddy. 😂ok. Big dog over here. Lol😂
BooB Wall : you must attend the morning ritual in uniform (the one I sold you 15 times)
Bruce Lee : outside
Hahah
James Coburns wife said that Bruce asked James to ship him some coke to relive some of his stress ., not that they will enjoy together but to SEND him coke .
Not only did people know - they were all doing all sorts of drugs back then.
It was his daughter that said that.
@@TheKungFuGenius James C daughter, I see. So the info that you got (classified so to speak) , you think will ever be revealed ... come out in open, in the years to come ?
Perhaps but I doubt it
Hello! Have you seen the movie "The hunted" 1995 with Christopher Lambert. It's a really cool ninja movie with great fight scenes. It kinda feels like an 80's movie made in the 90's😄
Have you heard of a new movie project coming up, The Last Kumite
Very much looking forward to this.
Im 40 now and look at 32 year olds as really young. Somewhat ones physical peak. What causes cerebral edema? Was it a combination of being super active mentally & physically 24/7, too little rest & too much cocaine or just genetic misfortune?
I’m coming from the future. The John Jones fight (vs Gane) was too short.
May 10th shows us what happened on July 20th. Bettys apartment was small and not air conditioned. They had sex with no ac per Betty. They also did hashish and Bruce acted out kicks and fight sequences from game of death Betty and Raymond Chong were negligent in responding to Bruce’s condition. Remember he drank 7 up right before he died. He acted out scenes for game of death and nearly fainted. He died on a mattress on the floor. Betty had no bed. He removed the sweat glands in his arm pits right before he died. Both Steve McQueen and Bruce Lee died horrible and slow agonising deaths. Bruce Lees may 10th episode horrifying
Well it’s settled then.
@@TheKungFuGeniusyes the two 7 up cans on bettys night stand killed Bruce Lee. It wasn’t the heat or the hashish or the 7 ninjas or triads or the fact he had two mistresses a wife and a crazy boss Raymond chow or his severe weight loss. It was the soft drinks 😢 and bettys magical vagina that sadly put the little dragon to sleep forever
@@TheKungFuGenius I would refute at least some of the above statements.
For one thing, Bruce had his underarm sweat glands surgically removed, prior to September 1972, (hardly what you would call right before his death !), when he was due to commence filming fight scenes for GoD. He had them removed, as he felt it was unsightly to be seen sweating on camera, thereby debunking his mythical asian superman status, to his millions of fans, particularly in Asia itself.
The one thing that no-one ever seems to mention, is GoD is the only movie in which Bruce didn't have some 'excuse' to strip off to the waist, unlike in all of his other movies.
My own theory is that the surgical scars had not sufficiently healed by that time, and so he kept covered up. His face also shows signs of wieght loss, and his body also looks decidely thinner than previously, which may have been another reason for him not wanting to strip off.
By the time Warner Brothers came calling, later that year, with the offer to collaborate with their Asian counterparts, in what would eventually become EtD, his underarm scars would have had time to sufficiently heal, from an aesthetic point of view, as filming for that movie wouldn't occur until the early part of 1973.
It was also well documented during shooting of EtD, that Bruce was reluctant to come out to film some of his scenes (not sure which ones, as source material is unclear on this matter), as he had apparently developed a facial twitch or some such, that wouldn't have looked good on camera, and so other scenes were filmed in the meantime, that didn't necessarily require him in the shot. Movies are rarely shot in the sequence we see in the finished product, in any case. This can be down to equipment availability issues (lighting, extras, etc etc), or indeed principal actors schedules, where they may be required to film another movie somewhere else, and so their scenes for EtD would be logically shot first.
Bruces' underarm surgery scars were obviously sufficiently well healed during the underground fight scene with the nunchakus, and he looks in incredibly good shape in these scenes, compared to, for example, the later external scenes, where Bolo cuts his rope restraints, so that he may engage in a fight - he looks thinner in the face and body, as ripped as it appears to be in that scene.
Just my thoughts on the matter. Others will doubtless beg to differ.
In Game of Death, I thought Bob Wall knocked out Sammo Hung lol, Karl The Killer MILLER 😀
Seizure's are quite the thing... My life partner has them... When she has them she loses all muscle control. It's hard to help her during them and shes only 5'2" and is not a tough person by any stretch of means. Hearing Bruce Lee having seizures and knowing how strong he was scares me literally. I can't even imagine how much uncontrolled strength those people had to try and contain. Crazy. I'm 6'2" and would consider myself a fairly strong individual and I have/had trouble moving and containing a 5'2" female during a seizure. Trying to wrap my mind around Lee having a seizure and trying to deal with that is insane. Seizures seem to give people super uncontrolled muscle strength which seems to easily makes people way-way stronger than normal. I can say this with confidants due to dealing with them with 8+ years of experience sadly.
Thanks for sharing your experiences.
@@TheKungFuGenius No problem man. Thanks for the content. I've been binge watching your videos for roughly 2 days now. I have them playing in the background throughout the day and I must say - it's been refreshing getting back into Bruce; I sadly took a longer break than I should have for no reason. I have learned a great deal from your channel and I thank you again and the guest you have had on for that. It's gotten me motivated again to get back into some of the old training I used to do years back; it's igniting that spark again.
That means a lot to me!
I gotta post. I’ll be back. I post. But I hang out here.
I’m probably going to be limited to trying to catch the live shows, cause there you are limited how much you can type, they even count the spaces and punctuation, but here I can text paragraphs, I wouldn’t want to ruin it for everyone and be limited to one sentence one question per person per year, it’s just sometimes difficult to try to limit and edit the questions to get to the point, cause I want to make sure I can be clear on why I have a question, or I will remember something I add, maybe instead of, hey what do you think about this cause over here I saw this but then over there I heard that, which is already longer than just hey what about this, and then just a short answer, sometimes I feel I need to explain
"I need a cigarette" KFG 52:57
Lol
Why did Bruce Lee not go home or doctor or hospital and if she was smart enough she would have gotten him help in stead of just staying with him doing nothing has if she was told not to do anything until he got back to her apartment and Raymond chow was know better he did nothing to make sure that he was dead
According to Wong Shun Leung, he got to see Bruce’s body after he died and he said his hand was clenched like he'd died having a seizure/fitting. The only difference in the May 10th collapse and the July 20th death is that he was found in May and rushed to hospital and in July Betty took so long getting help that he died in the process. Instead of calling immediately for an ambulance who would've taken him to the hospital and the doctors who had his records would've given him the same treatment as saved his life before, I.e Mannitol. But she chose to call Raymond who is no doctor. Then after they decided to call her doctor, again who didn't have the medicine he needed and didn't know his case history, by then he was already dead then they called an ambulance but it was too late by then. Betty killed Bruce first by maybe not noticing soon enough that he was fitting, and then by not getting him the immediate help he needed.
And probably Raymond Chow,too．Maybe he was in charge there in Bettys room.
@user-ds4ii5hz9q the Internet nowadays: words like “probably” and “maybe” asserted by non-witnesses or experts as fact anonymously and therefore without responsibility.
@@TheKungFuGenius I think it is okay, as not really blaming them but just mentioning your idea.
Watching this prior to watching enter the dragon with Bey Logan I found it hard to sit through that movie and watch it knowing Bruce Lee was going through alot…
We need to shut this government down. Let’s not buy these name brands. I hate paying taxes too. Let’s definitely do something about this.
I think you’re commenting on the wrong video and wrong channel.
There is only Terminator 1 & 2. The same goes for Alien and Predator.
There is a new edition of The Death of Bruce Lee with 67 new pages. It came out last year.
Yup the author sent it to me.
I am not naive. Betty Ting Pei and Raymond Chow had intention to delay a call to ambulance and wanted to let bruce lee pass away. They knew that he almost died 2 month ago and thus, they knew that if they wont call emergency he can die. It is highly likely that Bruce Lee asked Betty call for a help ( he was too sick to call himself) and took the aspirin as a temporary relief of severe headache untill ambulance comes to apartment. Then he went to bed and waited for a help. Bruce lee was going to be a huge superstar, and producer even bigger than Raymond Chow and many others. He was a serious competitor for them. By taking in attention chinese deceit they just leted him die.
Your unique viewpoint makes me appreciate the others who actually understand the subject so much more.
I would be in jail or prison if I did what Betty and chow did to Bruce on his last day. They are still responsible for playing apart in this unfortunate situation. Bruce also did drugs and that also played apart. Linda should also get prison time for her involvement with the drug letters. We can get baker because he is gone. We might can get the guy who received the packages in his names🤷🏼♂️
I think you’re a little overconfident in your assessment of a situation to which you don’t have all the facts.
I think Bruce wanted to get ripped for enter the dragon, because there are pictures of him with his shirt off, show off his body, during visit to his old college in March of 73.
His thrice weekly Cortisone injections (a steroid meant for once weekly for no more than six months) to deal with his back injury from the summer of 1970 should be considered- adrenal crisis. Then, throw in his insane workout regimen that had no rest, the cocaine, and you get the idea.
So you want questions, ok, I got questions
His first collapse he was not taking Equagesic.
Exactly
@@TheKungFuGeniushis own doctors said according to Bruce he chewed the hash and passed out he told it to his own doctors bout what happened..the man killed himself with drugs period
Can't somebody get Linda and Shannon on for an in depth interview??
She's written two books and been interviewed numerous times... if you think she is going to reveal something now that she hasn't in the past... well... I don't think so.
@@TheKungFuGenius This is probably true.. I've read the books.. But since they were published alot has happened and we've learnt alot more about Bruce.. Be great to see Linda in a fresh and updated discussion.. Cool channel by the way.. Keep up the great work..🙏👍
Think of the word “shill” and you get why I won’t even pursue this interview. We want honesty not tidy press releases.
@@TheKungFuGenius Yes I get you..🙏👍
Linda Lee treatment of Bruce to Chinese is what yoko Onos distortion of John Lennons legacy and memory to Beatles fans Linda is a horrid person. She has done more harm to his legacy and understanding of the man. Sadly his daughter lacks Bruce’s intellect or his greatness think of his daughter as a California airhead out to make a profit like her uncle Bob or uncle Raymond chow the slimeball scumbag who filmed his funeral for profit. Shannon Lee dishonours her father’s legacy just like Lisa Marie did with Elvis. It’s sad but Bruce lees children disgrace the man’s legacy he would have vomited over what a fuck up brandons movie career was. Linda lees lies and twisting of the truth is worse than Ohara treachery at hans enter the dragon tournament.
Did Bruce use drugs I would have to say it was because he was a product of the culture especially Hollywood culture in the 1960s. Drug culture was At its peak during this period. also Bruce Lee was very aggressive in his training and probably saw marijuana use as a way to enhance his training. Or maybe he just did this to relax. From accounts I’ve heard about Bruce Lee it seems he was very hyper and had difficulty relaxing and slowing down I could see how taking marijuana might cause him to mellow out. I know of Vietnam vets who take marijuana in order to chill out and counteract the stress that they encounter daily
Check out KFG's episode on the Bruce Lee Coke letters.
23:30 a #dad is a hero. 😎🤛💥
And interestingly enough he didn't take equagesic on May 10th that throws out that theory.
It’s surprising how many people overlook this glaring fact! It’s also amazing how many people don’t realize that, regardless of what Bruce Lee took for the headache, the headache was obviously the cerebral edema, and not the thing that he took afterwards that was inducing it.
@@TheKungFuGenius Unbelievably stupid, how the inquest was allowed to settle on that as a verdict I don't know. Linda was happy cos she got the insurance payout even though Bruce lied on the forms about not being a drug taker.
@@daweilee1986yep - a lot of people overlook that shady aspect of things. What's even more shady is that the policies were taken out, only a few months before Bruce actually pegged it. Perhaps he knew that there were people who had the intention of taking him out and so he wanted to provide for his family, sufficiently well, in the event of his death. There are several theories as to what caused his death, but I don't think natural causes were to blame.
Yet another episode packed with lots of insights is nearly upon us!
Expectations are high on the Richter scale
How about Bruce Lee in the Marvel universe
I think we did that on one of our earlier episodes
I guess to me it seemed that it was easy or made sense that if Bruce was developing JKD when he was in Ed Parker’s tournament, and he was taking things from other styles for JKD, I thought ok he’s taking Kung Fu, well no I’m sorry not Kung Fu, Chinese martial arts and add high kicks from karate and TKD, Judo throws, boxing, but thanks for clarifying that Bruce knew about high kicks and not necessarily from TKD or from Chuck
31:50 High kicking is high kicking. The people that can do it just do it. 😂Kinda thing. If I could kick high I would use it. 😂 well, I can. Only a forward WUSHU style with the toe up. I can get that sucker up high. A teep? Eh. Maybe up to the chest. A roundhouse? I like to SWEEP with them just below the knee. But in a fight, I wouldn’t CHOOSE to throw them. No... for me, I use. 1. BUI GEE both hands. 2. CHEUNG 3. JAANG 4. PING 5. OBLIQUE KICK. (Blocks) 1. QUAN 2. GAANG 3. JAK JEUNG 4. OUTSIDE WU SAO BUI GEE 5. FOOK SAO BUI GEE BUI GEE becomes a CHEUNG ramp. 😂Any kicker I’ll kick the one he’s standing on. 😂step to the side and boom. Just kick em back fast. Here’s a move I teach. (FACING) belly to belly. I’m orthadox, you’re southpaw. Before you can attack. We go back hand JEUNG or BUI. Front hand BUI to the outside eye. Your right eye. I’ll shoot from the hip. Cover up all the center space. Make him go around with a hook. My left arm blocks my face as I push him away by THE EYE. With my fingers pointed into a triangle it’s just like a weapon. Cranes beak. Except longer. A crashing PUSH STEPPED BONG QUAN. Left bong right hand BUI GEE from underneath. Devastating. In a burst. Push em away inside the sleeve by the throat. Push his eye away by NOY ENTRY. Outside attack. One crates the other. Just like our famous FUNG HAO JA JEUNG GUA CHOY. Triple hit. Except BUI and CHEUNG. 😂❤
Good video, great info, really appreciate it, good job everyone, KFG, Drey, I don’t know if I spelled that right, Mikey Uhm D, or is it Dee, I don’t think I got that right, anyway what ever, also the sound guy and that other one that edits, so now that I you’ve been complimented, question, first sorry if you already answered it, I guess I got to watch all your hour or more videos to find out, but, could you talk about the concept of Yin and Yang and how it applies to martial arts, sorry if some questions are long, make sure you have your coffee so you don’t fall asleep, maybe he’s reading to slow or to distracted while reading it, anyway now this is too long, maybe it’s better or faster if I could leave it as an audio message instead of writing and have it read, it’s just you know so much and I know so little, must be a curse, thanks for your time and answers, I won’t get mad if you can’t answer, if you already answered it, or if you can answer part of it and come back to the rest later, if you need to gloss over it I understand, but you probably don’t mind Pete and his friend repeat questions, I’m just glad you were able to get to more questions, I’ll try to keep them shorter and more spread out instead of many in one paragraph, it’s just that I see one of your videos, I get a question so I put it down, then later I see another video where you have talked about that subject already, now for reals it’s too long
I guess it makes sense that Kung,,, I mean Chinese martial arts, have high kicks, cause if karate came from Kun- uhm, Chinese fighting styles, and karate has high kicks, well that came from,,, china and developed more in Okinawa and Japan through karate, and if TKD is a mix of some karate and Taekkyon, and they have kicks, well maybe they got it from karate that came from Kung f-- Chinese combat, so they’re all connected, as well as other styles weather they emphasize more on some techniques than others, punching, kicking, throws, joint locks, blocks or weapons, sparring, forms or breaking, and pressure points, but I just guess
Good video didn't know that happened in his first collapse
Always a great show. You have the Facts , and honest about what is speculation. There are so many out there selling B.S. to get people to watch their channel. Kung fu Genius is awesome. Keep on flowing like water. 👍 Always covering great topics. Bruce Lee The Legend The Best Ever .still the best after all of these years. The Untouchable Dragon keeps on flowing like water. 👍
Much appreciated
Bruce Lee would not appear in some Pop Michael Jackson video Bruce would’ve appeared in a rap video what even a rock video Michael Jackson as an artist who I love by the way is a little too happy for lack of a better word for Bruce to appear with I agree that Prince would be a better choice but rap is the best choice. It would’ve been crazy if Bruce had appeared in a couple of episodes of the Rockford files with James Garner! Can you imagine Rockford saying to Bruce hey! Don’t I know you? There’s something familiar about you!
Is Bruce Lee's son's death an accident?
The first collapse was the red flag to save his life in terms the warnings were not heeded and or ignored. Maybe I’m wrong but I’d say even Bruce thought he was invincible
Curse you, KFG: I had to order Marcos’ book after your endorsement. Another book for my wife to complain about! I’ve ordered the revised 2nd edition published in 2022 (with a less suspicious Bruce on the front) so I’m hoping it will cover the drugs letters.
It does, it’s a great addition to the book!
Pardon me.....where did you order the book from? Thanks.
@@shihanuke3683 I’m in UK and ordered it direct from Spain: Librariadeportiva. I had to use google translate to complete my online order, but it arrived in good time. It’s an excellent book, containing the statements, exhibits and reports of the inquest. It obviously doesn’t have all the answers but dispels a lot of myths such as Bruce being assaulted.
It seems like you actually stole your thumb for this one from beerdy dude. No way that picture is real.. the only place i could find this picture is in one of beerdy's video's.
You’re not very good at using the Internet is basically what this comment is saying.
@@TheKungFuGenius Every link which leads to this picture has something to do with Beerdy. Btw, is it real in your opinion?
Yes Beerdy created the photo from Bruce Lee's final TVB appearance in July of 73, we are all just reposting it because Beerdy is the number one source for all things Bruce Lee. Now I want you to watch this video... slowly... ruclips.net/video/nIRwwE0HJQ8/видео.html
@@TheKungFuGenius Thanks, and i apologize for i was wrong. In the first shot Bruce looks way worse than he does seconds later without the filter, very misleading. I'm no Beerdy fan by all means, lets be clear on that.
I can't imagine the stress Bruce was going through during that time... he was not in a good place
No high kicks? They’ve never heard of Mi-Zhong Yi or White crane. And the founder of tang soo do claims his style is descended from Chinese martial arts, while other people claim tkd was derived from taekyon, which is kinda off target since taekyon looks more like a dorky version of judo.
Totally agree with you here - it is mind numbingly bizarre why this weird trope of kicking techniques or lack thereof being solved by the likes of Chuck Norris is so pervasive.
Bruce Lee literally does kung fu style high kicks in his screen test before he would really become good friends with any of these so-called guys who taught him high kicks
@@TheKungFuGenius lol, Jhoon Rhee’s slogan: “I thought Bruce Lee Taekwondo kicks!”
The sport version (Taekkyon Haki) does, in a way- way too much history to share here). The martial art version (Taekkyon Musul) is far different. I have been at it 36 years and teach a class in it.
Tang Soo Do (Way of the Tang Hand) is the Korean interpretation of Shotokan Karate. Taekkyon is traditional dance base, similar in some ways to Capoeira. TKD is in the same boat as Tang Soo Do- read Jeffrey James Reach's "The Origins of Korean Karate."
Bruce Lee first one was a setup to make sure that people would think something was wrong with him to put a scare in him from Raymond chow was hoping for him and when it did not work he made up his mind to get rid of Bruce lee being he could not have him any more àfther enter the dragon came out and Betty to that is why he was in her apartment to make him sick enough to be in her bed and just let him die to stop him from doing any. More movies and go back to the United States
This is amazing evidence, how did you get a hold of it? Have you informed the Hong Kong police of your discoveries?
@@TheKungFuGeniusLmao!! 🤣
London is a wonderful city to visit.
What do you know of the theory that when he got king hit following han, he asked the actor to make it realistic, then taking the blow to the area of the head the injury came from. i cant remember where i heard it years and years ago. but at the time i heard it it made sense.
So the theory is he took a single hit in the head from an actor in his weight class which did not induce a coma or knock-out and this suddenly caused cerebral edema MONTHS later? I mean, I'm not a doctor but.... doesn't seem legit.
@@TheKungFuGenius yeah i agree, i cant remember where i read it, possibly someone in the cast had spoken of it. A brain is a sensitive thing though, and if bruce wasn't looking after himself in these times it's always a possibility of the origin of the injury. Hopefully someone else has read it somewhere and can point out where it was said. great show mate, greetings from oz.
17:55 ⚠️I’m telling you. Bruce either lost a fight. Or... he actually injured his own head by hitting the bag to hard for to long. Taking hits can weaken tissues in the brain. Add other complications, it can absolutely kill. I have intimate personal knowledge on this subject. ☺️
Drugs plus epileptic seizure, if nobody around man you're dead 100%
What kind of horror Beti Ting had witnessing dying Bruce Lee in her room alone is the worst case scenario, she's surely didn't know what to do that is why she couldn't do anything, I can see how he died in pain and with open eyes she knew there is no hope I guess it was few minutes of collapsing Bruce Lee.
He was doing too much of everything, over training in the gym , drugs , martial arts , movies , traveling long distances , also training with that electricity generator that s..t defo destroying your heart.
Ppl say that he defo was not in pain before the death but guys I can assure you it was a lot of pain and the actual scene Beti will neverd say how it was , and I don't think we need to know , it's just so sad to lose such a multi talented guy like him ...
He didn't lost a fight for sure. The guy was too skinny he was incredible artist huge talent , very fast as everyone knows , he could clearly make people looking useless to block his kicks etc but , comparing to professional fighters like Muay Tai, Judo , BJJ who are killers him as a skinny guy could lose most of street fights
Bruce was a special guy , extremely gifted as artist , Philosopher, Creator of martial art JKD , with great knowledge of martial arts and weapons, a teacher a charismatic person , for sure has great humor , defo womanizer sorry to say.
And definitely not a bad ass guy beating up gangsters and mafiots around...
Is this written in Spanish?
Half english and half spanish
Hi Sifu,
I ordered the book based on your recommendation ( My wife said @$98.99 at that price I can get it primarily due to SIFU Alexis's recommendation.) Thanks .
