If he was alive today people would call him out on his bull shit. Dude never had a professional fight and made his students launch themselves back. People even believe the fake ping pong with nunchucks when it was a documented fake and wasn’t even him. It’s disrespectful to real martial arts. And no he wasn’t the first to combine all the martial arts. Romans had been doing it for thousands of years
His co stars in Enter the Dragon also talked about that they would see Bruce training with a kettlebell, doing high rep explosive kettlebell swings. Back then a kettlebell was hardly known about in the west.
If you look at the date, it was 1965... he passed in 1973, 8 years is a major difference for a man as disciplined and dedicated as him. 135 lbs when he started, close to 150 lbs when he developed into the martial artist that can side kick a 700 lb bag and actually move it.
Every time I near failure in my bench sets, that “No Chinese or Dogs Allowed” sign from Bruce Lee’s movie flashes in my mind. I remember what my grandpa went through around that era, and then I squeeze out more reps than I thought I originally could.
My great-grandfather was sent to the gulag for 10 years when he was 16(he didn't speak a word of russian), and still survived and well that's my forbidden pre.
Emotional setup of person during the preparation and during the workout exercises itself is very important factor of having successful workout. Good emotions (counting also angry) can give additional energy to achieve better results and make more during the session or entire workout, and vice versa: stress or depression made the person down his hands. Her hands.
Dude was training for speed and explosive power, which allowed him to do that kind of stuff Even now martial artists are training "fast", meaning fast reps and, preferably, a lot of them for endurance.
Endurance and explosive power are two completely opposite adaptions. Trying to do lots of "fast" reps with weights for endurance just makes you slower (versus other training modalities). Why? Because even a "fast" squat rep is slow as hell compared to an actual explosive movement. On top of that the only way to do many reps is to significantly lower the weight. So you're both adapting your body for a slow endurance movement and using low weight which doesn't cause your body to adapt for higher force output. Literally the worst of both worlds. Lower rep heavy weight and then doing sports specific training for your actual explosive movements is how any sports program worth a damn (and Olympic Weightlifters, who are kings of high power high explosive output) train.
@@User-gs1dk And still martial artists manage to use their power for extrended periods of time. Remember that there are different muscle fibers and you need to train them all, and you still can train them for endurance, even the ones responsible for fast, explosive movement. Not speaking of being able to progressively overload, allowing you to do fast reps even with heavier weights, which you can see some of the powerlifters do when they bench crazy amounts of weights for reps and do it fast. And my last sentence can be interpreted as training punches on a bag - you're doing a lot of reps of them and you're pushing yourself to punch fast and this exercise makes sense, because it's literally the punch you will be doing in a fight, with same technique and movement.

I'm not speaking from my ass - I trained with a coach, in an actual martial arts gym, sparred with real people and I judge from my experience, which you might say is wrong and I would agree with you, because everyone's experiences are different.

@@stephaniecoomey2356lmaooo bro said *“he was strong enough due to technical knowledge of how to punch…”* 😂😂😂😂 congratulations, he knew how to throw a jab. wooo *mystic noises* 😂
@@stephaniecoomey2356Bruce Lee was a genuine martial artist and was one of the earliest guys to talk about mixed martial arts and how people should combine them so he definitely knew about fighting. He was also just plain out really strong for a guy his size
@@parabalaniSquatting, deadlifting, bench pressing, pull-ups, dips, and shoulder pressing works out pretty much every single muscle in the body. He thought that lifting heavy weight gives you thicker muscles so he would use lighter weight for speed and explosiveness. Come to find out it's the opposite thanks to science. Heavy weight training with single reps and rest days in between will make you not only bigger but even more explosive and athletic. This is the only way for natural lifters to get stronger for any sport, not lifting light weight for days on end. I won't go too hard on Bruce Lee because it was the 70's but the Russians knew about the secret to gaining strength very quickly before the Americans did. The Russians just wanted to capitalize by adding steroids into the mix so their athletes can recover faster from the extremely heavy compound movements.
Try it yourself. Attempt to hit something with 0 wind-up, 10 cm away. Then you would get why that is impressive….. or maybe you won’t, given how unobservant you seem to be
Exactly, pushed is the right word here. If all that momentum had come from say a flying metal ball the size of a fist, the guy would get rib fractures and a heart contusion
Additionally, even at one inch, the punch engaged his whole body. Watch his legs and back with that demonstration. He doesn't just punch with his chest, shoulder, and triceps. His legs move, his back moves. That is part of the source of the power behind it.
According to his widow, Lee did not almost lose his match against Huong-Jak-Man, it was just a tedious fight because it took long for Lee to finish it. Some practitioners of Wing-Chun Kung-Fu say it’s because Lee’s training was incomplete.
i think it had to do with the fact that wong jack man was literally running away from Bruce. Wong eventually tripped himself lol. After the fight Bruce was exhausted and realized he needed to work on his cardio more.
Lees wife and friends claim he won other guy claims he won bla bla bla what we know for a fact is Lee refused to have a rematch in front of a crowd after he was accused of losing
After Bruce Lee's fight with Wong Jack Man he realised he needed to work on his cardio. That's why on the first page of his book TAO ☯️ OF JEET KUNE DO is a picture of him JUMPING ROPE! Anyone noticed that? Btw Bruce won that fight with Wong Jack Man.
@j_quan2594 ... If I'm not mistaken he did say that himself many times! Read his book TAO OF JEET KUNE DO to understand his philosophy on fighting better. FYI ... DANA WHITE AND JOE ROGAN BOTH SAID BRUCE LEE IS THE FATHER OF MODERN MMA!
@@liounique1177 still doesn't make him "not very strong" tho You could say a silverback gorilla could clap Hafthor, still doesn't make Hafthor "not very strong"
@@logical_lb3059 Lol, it's a simple historical fact that the film cameras at the time paired with low frame rates made certain movements hard to pick up on film. If I'm not mistaken, Bruce Lee preferred to film at a higher frame rate in order to better capture fast movements.
@@yoeyyoey8937 Chuck Norris and Joe Lewis are 2 names that I remember who admitted to have been beaten in a sparring session. The other name I forgot but he's the Asian dude big and buff that was in one of the movies. Many more famous kickboxers I just can't think of right now but I could easily Google them
@@yoeyyoey8937yes but what if a 190 cm guy with wide body does the explosive training the same as Bruce lee does? Maybe then he could even beat Jon jones if he has explosive power
@@farhadaliadel8924 the guy would have to gain weight to be in the same class as Jones. And he would have to do strength training to get more power and athleticism. Not moving around light weights quickly, because that doesn’t really have any real benefits apart from being better than no training at all.
@@farhadaliadel8924 basically I’m saying that what Bruce Lee was doing was not really “explosive training” and wouldn’t be of much help to anyone trying to be a fighter (aside from again, it being better than no training at all)
For anyone who wants another analogy about the late Bruce Lee's strength and abilities: he was able to do legit one-armed pushups....FOR REPS. I can barely hit ten with good form.
Wrong! Speaking from experience!! Do pushups as quickly and explosively as you can. I used to do ten at a time, chest to the floor and explode to the top. Rest 6-7 minutes. Then do another ten. I went to 170 total reps at one point.
@@solomonstello Cool that you did that, that isn't the best way to grow strength though. You want full range of movement and when the muscles is most stretched to slow and at the bottom of a movement hold for a moment. Explosive movements lets you do more, it doesn't work at making your body stronger.
@@Gabi-bv9uxyou’re thinking from a bodybuilding perspective , yes this doesn’t train strength in the traditional sense but it does EXPLOSIVE power as in the rate of force which is a different kind of strength . I’m sure you’ve heard of plyometrics before and its what fighters train
Aside from the wing chun straight punch, Lee probably read Jack Dempsey's Championship Fighting book where Dempsey explains his "lead jolt": a lead jab designed as a knockout punch combining a non telegraphed jab with the fist thrown square (like a wing chun punch) in a direct line between the shoulder and target and using both forward and gravitational force (Dempsey's "drop step") combined with body mass to create power.
Not only had he read it, but large parts of "Tao of Jeet Kune Do" came directly from it. (Bear in mind that the material for that book came from Lee's personal notes; not something that he actually meant to publish.)
Even heavyweight boxers from his day and earlier usually didn't train for size. They typically wanted to be as lean and as fast as possible. Bigger size also drains stamina when you have to keep moving in order to throw 50 to 100 punches per round against skilled opponents where you're both trying to hit without getting hit. It's extremely cardio intensive.
I actually learned about this in High School gym class. It's the difference between an Accentric (explosive power) vs Eccentric (endurance) workout. You can focus on one depending on which kind of gains you're looking for.
That actually makes lots of sense. An object that seemingly has no significant amount of weight or force can become lethal when it moves very quickly. He really put a lot of thought into what he wanted to do with himself
That’s how all modern fighters train. That’s why none of the UFC champions know their max bench, pure strength or hypertrophy training literally disadvantages them.
@@watersnortmoment3734 you absolutely right, you need the most strength for the least amount of mass as a fighter, as excess muscle is dead weight, limits your flexibility, and slows down strikes. A hard punch just pushes, whereas a fast punch does far more damage. Newtons second law of motion!
@@Mjbeswick yes when used to no real effective means. All that muscle mass will put them at a disadvantage and really not give them a greater means upon executing their strikes or martial arts skills
@@kingol4801idk why but the body building community (on instagram and shorts ofc) can't seem to understand that some people don't work out to get muscles
THIS is EXACTLY what I’m doing in the gym to become an ultimate fighter (granted, not as light as 95 lb squat). It’s not about getting an insane weight, it’s about how easy you can make a decent weight look
What I love about Bruce is He was way more advanced than those people in that time with believing in mixed martial arts and body calisthenics naturally
If he had a good physiotherapist and more knowledgeable doctors he could have easily healed that, learned how to do good mornings properly and moved on.
@@austing7254 he did heal that. He put himself through rigorous physical therepy, his doctors told him he sustained ireparable damage and wouldnt be able to do the things he used to. Obviously that did not become the case.
@@Buttz2Buttz No, he got himself back to where he could train and do things but the pain never completely left. There's a lot better physiotherapists and also some better doctors nowadays that won't just say "you'll never be able to do this again". I'd bet that if it happened nowadays he could have made a much better recovery with the right help.
That was apparently the same routine that he did for years according to the workout cards in his own handwriting. It was reported that he never significantly changed the routine including weights and reps. He still believed the myths that it would be detrimental towards his athleticism and decrease his flexibility, agility and speed rather than improve them.
@@giuffre714 Look up "bruce lee real fight" in the RUclips search engine and it's the first thing that pops up. Video of him sparring with another guy.
@@nikost6085 Have you heard of Floyd Mayweather? If you type his name into RUclips, there are many videos of him fighting. Try that with Bruce Lee and you'll find nothing. Why do you think that is?
People make it seem like a big deal that Bruce Lee made that dude go back but look at how the guys standing. He is flat on his feet, swuared with Bruce, and a trained Martial Artist give a solid strike to his sternum. Thats not that hard.
People weren’t as well versed back then,that’s honestly one of the reasons why BL is still spoken about. Your explanation is an example of why people weren’t educated on fighting back then because it is well informed and nowadays more people are less prone to BS than back then
He just pushed the guy. Sure, he was good at using his weight. I won't say that there is no power behind it but its just a glorified shove. Look at how the guy is standing. If you stood like that a shove would also push far enough that you'll lose your balance. Its not magic. Look at the first guy. He'd had probably been okay if the chair wasnt there. And if he fell it would have been because he reacted too late to react to the push. The second guy aimed to go to the chair imo. He's all dressed up and he fell on that chair extremely smoothly. Genuinely, push someone standing straight as a cucumber on the chest and see how they move back. They might fall, they might not. But if theres a chair blocking their way theyll fall on the chair lol.
It's not that he is flat on his feet. It's that he is in what is referred to in martial arts as a broken stance. There is nowhere to shift your weight when pushed from that position. If Bruce had been standing to the side and hitting his arm he would have just shifted his weight slightly more to the rear leg and not moved. This is more slight of hand than martial arts.
the 1 inch punch does not result from muscular exercise. It results from putting your center of gravity over your supporting heel, then using that heel anchor from the ground to pump/send up the earth through the supporting leg, up the spine, through the shoulder and out the arm into the person. Basically you are connecting the opponent with the earth grounding point at the supporting anchored heel. So your body itself feels almost no tension and you get a sensation that the person, your fist and your heal instantly connect with no middle bodily interference. If you watch carefully, you will see the pump from the front supporting/anchored heel traveling up and through his body and arm into the opponent. This is not a "punch" per say, but rather only a transfer of of the earth through his body into the opponent.
Nearly losing? Bruh Bruce comfortably beat the shit outta him, the only thing which made Bruce Lee concerned was his cardio and that wing chun wasn't diverse enough
@@yoeyyoey8937ive seen a tonne of post's from you regarding this topic. I wonder what is your list of accomplished accolades? If its big mouth syndrome id believe it!
@@billygoatgruff2900 I’ve competed in judo and I’m not great but I actually did it instead of beating up a couple of students and telling people how this makes me the greatest fighter of al time
IIRC, Bruce was performing the one inch punch long before he started weight training. He demonstrated it as an example of using more energy from the full body - same basic principle of how boxers are taught to incorporate their feet and hips
He also used isometric exercises. Basically controlled movement in both directions under a load be it body or weights. Another factor is his use of body weight in the move he was doing, example hip rotation.
@@wladynoszhighlights5989 It's there for the show to add the illusion of more explosive power than exists. The push just puts them off balance enough to have the guy fall onto the chair and for his weight and momentum to tip the chair back.
The opening seen in Enter the Dragon when he is sparring with one of his comrades you can see his legs were shredded and bulging with muscle fibers. 🔥🔥🔥 🐉
he could apparently do 400 one arm pushups in a row, Im not sure how true this is but I think it's incorrect to say he's weak based on this. though you could say it's a feat of endurance, i'd still say it's wrong to say he's weak. he was also able to do one arm pullups@@yoeyyoey8937

He was strong enough due to technical knowledge of how punch and not just using his arm but his entire body, he pushes with his legs first and the fist is just the delivery method
No he wasn’t he was a glorified actor, when are people going to drop the mysticism around this bullshit. Bruce was a great actor, RIP.
When you throw a bullet it cannot kill, but when you fire a bullet....Game Over kid! XD
Explosive power! How swift thy sword! (O)_(O)
The essence of the 1-inch punch - Speed, Speed, Speed!!!! Come on Rocky! ;D
@@stephaniecoomey2356lmaooo bro said *“he was strong enough due to technical knowledge of how to punch…”* 😂😂😂😂
congratulations, he knew how to throw a jab. wooo *mystic noises* 😂
@@stephaniecoomey2356Bruce Lee was a genuine martial artist and was one of the earliest guys to talk about mixed martial arts and how people should combine them so he definitely knew about fighting. He was also just plain out really strong for a guy his size

This shows the weight training improves you in anyway "NEVER STOP LIFITING"
In his book he said he trained only some of the muscles because training other muscles makes your movements slower
@@parabalaniSquatting, deadlifting, bench pressing, pull-ups, dips, and shoulder pressing works out pretty much every single muscle in the body. He thought that lifting heavy weight gives you thicker muscles so he would use lighter weight for speed and explosiveness. Come to find out it's the opposite thanks to science. Heavy weight training with single reps and rest days in between will make you not only bigger but even more explosive and athletic. This is the only way for natural lifters to get stronger for any sport, not lifting light weight for days on end. I won't go too hard on Bruce Lee because it was the 70's but the Russians knew about the secret to gaining strength very quickly before the Americans did. The Russians just wanted to capitalize by adding steroids into the mix so their athletes can recover faster from the extremely heavy compound movements.
@@criticalcerebral I don't know how you're calling it rest days if you're a fighter because I was in the gym everyday except the weekend lol
Real life one punch man
"245 lb." Man: *standing with feet side by side*
*gets pushed off-balance*
Onlookers: 🤯
Try it yourself. Attempt to hit something with 0 wind-up, 10 cm away. Then you would get why that is impressive….. or maybe you won’t, given how unobservant you seem to be
Exactly, pushed is the right word here. If all that momentum had come from say a flying metal ball the size of a fist, the guy would get rib fractures and a heart contusion
Bro said he could punch a 245 pound man and push him over no difficulty
You try
True
Bruce wherever you are you're the best!!
Guy facing Lee: "Why is there a chair behind me?"
Bruce Lee: (Punches him, finger length away)
😂
Additionally, even at one inch, the punch engaged his whole body. Watch his legs and back with that demonstration. He doesn't just punch with his chest, shoulder, and triceps. His legs move, his back moves. That is part of the source of the power behind it.
Bruce Lee is a Legend
That he is! - along with Marilyn Monroe and Elvis.
According to his widow, Lee did not almost lose his match against Huong-Jak-Man, it was just a tedious fight because it took long for Lee to finish it. Some practitioners of Wing-Chun Kung-Fu say it’s because Lee’s training was incomplete.
i think it had to do with the fact that wong jack man was literally running away from Bruce. Wong eventually tripped himself lol. After the fight Bruce was exhausted and realized he needed to work on his cardio more.
Lees wife and friends claim he won other guy claims he won bla bla bla what we know for a fact is Lee refused to have a rematch in front of a crowd after he was accused of losing
After Bruce Lee's fight with Wong Jack Man he realised he needed to work on his cardio. That's why on the first page of his book TAO ☯️ OF JEET KUNE DO is a picture of him JUMPING ROPE! Anyone noticed that? Btw Bruce won that fight with Wong Jack Man.
Yea because she definitely gonna say "it was close but bruce won" ofc shes gonna say that
@j_quan2594 ... If I'm not mistaken he did say that himself many times! Read his book TAO OF JEET KUNE DO to understand his philosophy on fighting better. FYI ... DANA WHITE AND JOE ROGAN BOTH SAID BRUCE LEE IS THE FATHER OF MODERN MMA!
Faster movement is for strength and slow movement is for building muscles....
He got the man to stand with his feet together!
He also did Isometrics, that's another reason why he was so strong with such a small frame
He was literally not very strong

Underrated person without any medals
Bruce Lee was so fast it was said he needed to slow down his punches in movies so the cameras can still see them
Thats fake and gay
Cap
@@logical_lb3059 Lol, it's a simple historical fact that the film cameras at the time paired with low frame rates made certain movements hard to pick up on film. If I'm not mistaken, Bruce Lee preferred to film at a higher frame rate in order to better capture fast movements.
😂😂😂😂
I heard he won but realize his body was not conditioned
He said nearly lost meaning he was close to losing but still won

❤Bruce Lee, I studied his routine and I improved greatly.
Also his mind was a whole different level he meditated for long periods of time as well very focused mind set
A true legend. Rest in peace sir.
A movie star.
That was very informative. Thank You! 💪😎
Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.
People forget Bruce Lee sparred with the most famous pro kick boxers in the world. And he kicked their asses according to their own words
No he didnt beat kickboxers and no one said he did si
Who?
BS
@@yoeyyoey8937 Chuck Norris and Joe Lewis are 2 names that I remember who admitted to have been beaten in a sparring session. The other name I forgot but he's the Asian dude big and buff that was in one of the movies. Many more famous kickboxers I just can't think of right now but I could easily Google them
@@M_H_H aw baby is sad? Go cry to your mommy

No he didnt he was small and skinny
@@yoeyyoey8937lol facts
@@yoeyyoey8937yes but what if a 190 cm guy with wide body does the explosive training the same as Bruce lee does? Maybe then he could even beat Jon jones if he has explosive power
@@farhadaliadel8924 the guy would have to gain weight to be in the same class as Jones. And he would have to do strength training to get more power and athleticism. Not moving around light weights quickly, because that doesn’t really have any real benefits apart from being better than no training at all.
@@farhadaliadel8924 basically I’m saying that what Bruce Lee was doing was not really “explosive training” and wouldn’t be of much help to anyone trying to be a fighter (aside from again, it being better than no training at all)
Man Of Reflexes
He was a different breed ❤
For anyone who wants another analogy about the late Bruce Lee's strength and abilities: he was able to do legit one-armed pushups....FOR REPS. I can barely hit ten with good form.
this is just sad
Bro one arm push ups are easy if he did one arm handstand push ups that would be impressive
Bro yall dumb or something, his 2 finger pushups record is stil one of the greatest and he even did a one finger push up.
Bro not one arm but 2 finger pushups clean 200 sets in continues creates a world record😅.
😂. I was doing those at 16yrs old.
My parents: Don’t do those push-ups so fast, it won’t do any good for you.
They are correct. This video is nonesense.
Wrong! Speaking from experience!!
Do pushups as quickly and explosively as you can. I used to do ten at a time, chest to the floor and explode to the top. Rest 6-7 minutes.
Then do another ten. I went to 170 total reps at one point.
@@solomonstello Cool that you did that, that isn't the best way to grow strength though. You want full range of movement and when the muscles is most stretched to slow and at the bottom of a movement hold for a moment. Explosive movements lets you do more, it doesn't work at making your body stronger.
@@solomonstelloBro tell me everything you did my guy is plz, I need these information
@@Gabi-bv9uxyou’re thinking from a bodybuilding perspective , yes this doesn’t train strength in the traditional sense but it does EXPLOSIVE power as in the rate of force which is a different kind of strength . I’m sure you’ve heard of plyometrics before and its what fighters train
Aside from the wing chun straight punch, Lee probably read Jack Dempsey's Championship Fighting book where Dempsey explains his "lead jolt": a lead jab designed as a knockout punch combining a non telegraphed jab with the fist thrown square (like a wing chun punch) in a direct line between the shoulder and target and using both forward and gravitational force (Dempsey's "drop step") combined with body mass to create power.
Not only had he read it, but large parts of "Tao of Jeet Kune Do" came directly from it. (Bear in mind that the material for that book came from Lee's personal notes; not something that he actually meant to publish.)
Even heavyweight boxers from his day and earlier usually didn't train for size. They typically wanted to be as lean and as fast as possible. Bigger size also drains stamina when you have to keep moving in order to throw 50 to 100 punches per round against skilled opponents where you're both trying to hit without getting hit. It's extremely cardio intensive.
I actually learned about this in High School gym class. It's the difference between an Accentric (explosive power) vs Eccentric (endurance) workout. You can focus on one depending on which kind of gains you're looking for.
*what a genius.
That actually makes lots of sense. An object that seemingly has no significant amount of weight or force can become lethal when it moves very quickly.
He really put a lot of thought into what he wanted to do with himself
That’s how all modern fighters train. That’s why none of the UFC champions know their max bench, pure strength or hypertrophy training literally disadvantages them.
@@watersnortmoment3734 you absolutely right, you need the most strength for the least amount of mass as a fighter, as excess muscle is dead weight, limits your flexibility, and slows down strikes. A hard punch just pushes, whereas a fast punch does far more damage. Newtons second law of motion!
@@Mjbeswick yes when used to no real effective means. All that muscle mass will put them at a disadvantage and really not give them a greater means upon executing their strikes or martial arts skills
Didn't we learn this lesson with supersaiyan plus or whatever they called it 😂

Ngl being so skinny to the point you look like you have a life threatening sickness but having explosive strenght is just the most badass thing
@bgmsedits2004 I think modern standards of body building make this look as relatively skinny
@@kingol4801idk why but the body building community (on instagram and shorts ofc) can't seem to understand that some people don't work out to get muscles

THIS is EXACTLY what I’m doing in the gym to become an ultimate fighter (granted, not as light as 95 lb squat). It’s not about getting an insane weight, it’s about how easy you can make a decent weight look
Where's the 245lbs man that went flying?
You didn't see him cuz the speed was much higher 😂
I’d give anything to see Bruce Lee and David Goggins working out together.
All hell would break loose
Add Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mike Tyson and Amo Qoutiba to the mix and the world would break in half
Someone would have died man😐😶
Hoggins has nothing to offer compared to Lee.
@@caesaraugustus9061wooowwwww. Grow up
Actually the guy who went "flying" is the one who needed to be trained 😅
What I love about Bruce is He was way more advanced than those people in that time with believing in mixed martial arts and body calisthenics naturally
You also left out the “good mornings with 95 lbs” that also destroyed his back
and eventually killed him. (complications from pain meds)
If he had a good physiotherapist and more knowledgeable doctors he could have easily healed that, learned how to do good mornings properly and moved on.
people do heavy good mornings all the time, is that really what fucked his back up?
@@austing7254 he did heal that. He put himself through rigorous physical therepy, his doctors told him he sustained ireparable damage and wouldnt be able to do the things he used to. Obviously that did not become the case.
@@Buttz2Buttz No, he got himself back to where he could train and do things but the pain never completely left. There's a lot better physiotherapists and also some better doctors nowadays that won't just say "you'll never be able to do this again". I'd bet that if it happened nowadays he could have made a much better recovery with the right help.
I wanna know how the other guy got strong enough to survive the punch
😂😂
I see your point!
Bruce Lee was not a fighter only an actor he was weak guys he was 5 7!! Come on stop being so delusional
@@elsunshine9976 exactly, plus he basically pushed those flat footed guys. Anyone can do that.
@@elsunshine9976 bro 💀💀💀💀 he was strong af and being an actor doesn't make you weak... I'm 99% sure you're a girl
His power wasn't through pushing or lifting, but sheer momentum!! Intelligence defines work as letting someone or something do it for you!!❤
Everyone who practise martial arts know that you need to use your body and momentum in a punch. He needed the core strength to deliver on it.
that's it. I'm stealin his workout routine
That guy who is maybe 5'8" is DEFINITELY not a "245 pound man" 🙄
Some sources say it was Joe Lewis, but it can't be that guy was to short and small, Joe was 6ft and over 200 pounds,
I was hoping someone would point this out. Bruce was a small guy, I think 125lbs? The other guy was not much bigger.
The guy in the clip isnt the 245 lb man he sent flying back. The clip you see was one of the demonstration clips he had.
Joe Lewis was only 195 not 245. You can see from the video there’s no way hes 245 and bruce is only ~135
@@quandaledingle351it's still impressive
@@hihihihihello i didn’t say it wasn’t just that the maker of the video isn’t accurate
Bruce Lee's 95lb squat was at the beginning of his weightlifting journey. Everyone has to start somewhere.
That was apparently the same routine that he did for years according to the workout cards in his own handwriting. It was reported that he never significantly changed the routine including weights and reps. He still believed the myths that it would be detrimental towards his athleticism and decrease his flexibility, agility and speed rather than improve them.
Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee sparred each other. How cool is that.
A long and lean muscle has more uses in fighting than a bulky one
There’s no such thing as “long, lean muscles”
at a point having larger muscles will begin to slow you down, your relative strength will start declining. @@yoeyyoey8937
That makes absolutely 0 sense. You think you sounded cool though, you carry on.
Muscle is lean by definition.

The force was strong with this one
People make it seem like a big deal that Bruce Lee made that dude go back but look at how the guys standing. He is flat on his feet, swuared with Bruce, and a trained Martial Artist give a solid strike to his sternum. Thats not that hard.
People weren’t as well versed back then,that’s honestly one of the reasons why BL is still spoken about. Your explanation is an example of why people weren’t educated on fighting back then because it is well informed and nowadays more people are less prone to BS than back then
He just pushed the guy. Sure, he was good at using his weight. I won't say that there is no power behind it but its just a glorified shove. Look at how the guy is standing. If you stood like that a shove would also push far enough that you'll lose your balance.
Its not magic.
Look at the first guy. He'd had probably been okay if the chair wasnt there. And if he fell it would have been because he reacted too late to react to the push.
The second guy aimed to go to the chair imo. He's all dressed up and he fell on that chair extremely smoothly.
Genuinely, push someone standing straight as a cucumber on the chest and see how they move back. They might fall, they might not. But if theres a chair blocking their way theyll fall on the chair lol.
It's not that he is flat on his feet. It's that he is in what is referred to in martial arts as a broken stance. There is nowhere to shift your weight when pushed from that position. If Bruce had been standing to the side and hitting his arm he would have just shifted his weight slightly more to the rear leg and not moved. This is more slight of hand than martial arts.
the 1 inch punch does not result from muscular exercise. It results from putting your center of gravity over your supporting heel, then using that heel anchor from the ground to pump/send up the earth through the supporting leg, up the spine, through the shoulder and out the arm into the person. Basically you are connecting the opponent with the earth grounding point at the supporting anchored heel. So your body itself feels almost no tension and you get a sensation that the person, your fist and your heal instantly connect with no middle bodily interference.
If you watch carefully, you will see the pump from the front supporting/anchored heel traveling up and through his body and arm into the opponent. This is not a "punch" per say, but rather only a transfer of of the earth through his body into the opponent.
Agreed. This is a technique used in Internal styles...

@@tonybloodloss there is no video and there was no fight
Homie did a 20 inch punch with that pull back
ya cause this dummy used the wrong clip. This was the 6 inch punch, he showcased the one inch punch directly before this
IIRC, Bruce was performing the one inch punch long before he started weight training. He demonstrated it as an example of using more energy from the full body - same basic principle of how boxers are taught to incorporate their feet and hips
He also used isometric exercises. Basically controlled movement in both directions under a load be it body or weights. Another factor is his use of body weight in the move he was doing, example hip rotation.
Look at the stand of this man
A lil child could have have pushed him out of balance
It's really easy when the guy you're 1 inch punching is standing as relaxed as possible and not fighting back
With a chair right behind him for him to trip over. Clearly just a circus trick...
@@spyroninja Ofc there is a chair if the chance is high he will fall down.
Circus trick to just show what can you achieve. Of course that it almost never would work in real fight, LOL
@@wladynoszhighlights5989 It's there for the show to add the illusion of more explosive power than exists.
The push just puts them off balance enough to have the guy fall onto the chair and for his weight and momentum to tip the chair back.
