bruce lee was the first person to invent the grip trainer that you can add more plates, video doesn't even state bruce lee deliberately started fights to gain fighting experience, thats not the same as doing something for years, doing karate for 10yrs doesn't dictate 10yrs of fighting experience, these two reacting bozo's called the biggest martial tournament a "fighting clinic" and the famous "one inch punch" that even non fighters know about omfg these two
@@GawrGurasBathTubPizza One of Bruce Lee's friends in Hong Kong, Hawkins Chang said that Bruce Lee would start fights and his friends had to take care of the guys he started the fights with because Lee didn't want to get face busted up.
I've been in the Martial Arts for 54 years and have had the opportunity to train with Dan Inosanto (who you see fighting Bruce Lee in Game of Death clip) Guro Inosanto (Bruce Lee's top student) told stories of Bruce Lee at a dinner. One was how at the dinner table Bruce Lee would have a sand bucket and pound it with his fist or curl a dumbbell or squeeze a hand grip while eating with his other hand. He never stopped working out. I thought Guro Inosanto was one of the fastest Martial Artist I had ever seen (Guro Inosanto had run a 9.3 100 yard dash in college and was already an established Black Belt under Legendary Sensei Ed Parker). Guro Dan had said he didn't ever remember scoring on Bruce Lee when they sparred. I thought if Guro Inosanto is as fast as I think how fast was Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee was the real deal, his Movie Martial Arts was for movies, his true Martial Arts (Jun Fan or Jeet Kune Do) was different and designed for the street.
Not sure if what you are saying is all truth. But it all adds up. Bruce Lee was speed personified. While highly praised to the point of myth. I feel Bruce is also highly underrated.
In 2004, UFC President Dana White called Lee the "father of mixed martial arts," stating: "If you look at the way Bruce Lee trained, the way he fought, and many of the things he wrote, he said the perfect style was no style. You take a little something from everything. It's been over 50 years, and people are still talking about him. That about says it all.
@@PAT8888-is2pdmartial arts travel I guess? Like people used to think of Japanese jujitsu but these days i think people thing Brazilian. Not sure if that’s a good example
@@anthonydawson8080 very true. There are some differences between the Japanese and Brazilian but, the Brazilian has become more popular in the US. I like learning the history of the martial arts and the way that it has traveled worldwide. Until recently, I had a distinct problem with one that I have seen in my area. Mong Su Dom Tai Chinese Karate is on the sign. Karate is not even a Chinese word. When I looked into it, I found that it is a mix of several different styles from all over the world. I'm not sure why they even bothered to use the words Chinese or Karate. They should have said martial arts and left it at that.
The nine punches was very nearly shown in enter the dragon. Early on the island, Bruce was working out, bob walls character walks in stating you must attend the morning ritual in uniform. He walks off Bruce Lee throws six punches in less than a second, you can count them if you slow the video down. Thank you for the video by the way.
Yeah I remember that part and it's hard to count how many punches he did but it was quite a few and it happened so fast that it looked like a blur. It's a shame we didn't have cameras that could capture more frames back then.
The white male with shoulder length blondish hair was world renowned actor and martial artist Chuck Norris (aka Walker: Texas Ranger). I believe those scenes were from Bruce's movie "Game of Death".
Yes, that was Chuck Norris. He and Bruce were friends. Chuck had done some acting, and Bruce asked him if he could "kill" him in a movie. The movie was "The Way of the Dragon." In "Game of Death," Bruce fought Kareem Abdul Jabar, who was a student of his.
You can see how fast he was in Way of the Dragon 1972. When fighting Chuck he accidentally breaks his arm for real. You can see when it happens but you have to use slow motion as the first incident has two parts, 1) Bruce grabs and twists chucks wrist. Without slow mo it just looks like a block. 2) the arm twist surprises both and it puts chuck out of position for Bruce’s next move which breaks the arm. Chuck being chuck was supposed to act like it was broke so he didn’t at first mention it was actually broke and kept filming.
I've seen a lot of bruce Lee videos and documentarys and was a fan of his back in the day. This video was mostly fluff. There are many feats that weren't even mentioned in this video. Joe Lewis was a heavy weight fighter who used to train with Bruce. He said Bruce hit harder than any heavyweight fighter that he ever fought. He could literally push or kick between frames of those old film cameras. There are some frame by frame slow motion video where you don't see Bruce move but you see the opponent go flying from his punch or kick. There is a lot out there on Bruce Lee if you want to look for it. He was incredible. A good place to start is a youtuber called Beerdy. He has a ton of historical video of Bruce, documentarys on Bruce, and interviews of people who knew and worked out with Bruce.
His most famous punch is the "1 inch punch" that would send a person back over 6 feet. I think spent the majority of my life finding out if all of the supposed claims about Bruce were true and I have to admit that the majority are exactly that! TRUE! He was the most incredible, amazing and jawdropping person that has ever lived. Just proves that You can reach incredible heights if you dedicate enough time to it.
B and B, I don't know If Muscle and Fitness magazine is still published, but a late 90's issue showed Bruce's weightlifting workout with photos...Egad, he was scary strong...225 lb. overhead lifts, 145 Lb bicep curls and 330 lb deadlifts, 8 to 10 reps., 3 or 4 sets of each.
Thanks for all your video reactions, Superb! Great video choice! My friend and martial arts instructor, Sam Tendencia (a legend himself) was a friend and occasional sparing partner of Bruce Lee. One day he took me out behind his house and said, "I show you something Bruce would do" Sam took a coke bottle and using a knife hand strike, cut the bottle in half. I was at Sam's house the night Bruce's wife Linda called and told us Bruce died.
Another person that has told some of the amazing things that Bruce Lee did is Chong Li. He was a stunt man and in a few of Bruce's movies. He was the Chinese weightlifting champion and he remembers picking up another stuntman and putting him over his head and he mistakenly said "Can you do that!" And Bruce waover and picked up Chong who was probably twice the weight of the person that he had picked up and Bruce did not even make a single sound and acted as if he had just picked up a small piece of wood. Chong never questioned Bruce again during the filming that they were doing. He said that he has never seen anyone as strong as Bruce was. Even in his weightlifting days.
He injured his back doing good morning exercises with a bar bell! It took about a year of doing rehab exercises to return to his normal fighting strength and speed. Though Dan Inosanto commented that the injury would bother him on occasion!
I used to like the TV show The Green Hornet when I was a young lad of 10 yrs old... I thought he was amazing back then...good stuff, guys...Keep Being Awesome !!!...
Bruce Lee was so fast when he landed blows in films they would go back and watch in slow motion and usually find out he had struck two blows but you could only see one.
I Grew up watching Bruce Lee and to see the things he could do was truly inspirational. We followed everything he said and did. He was as fast and as strong as this video said he was.
Bruce Lee interview with journalist Pierre Burton, is definitely the one you want to watch if you want to know the man and his philosophy, instead of just the actor. You will definitely enjoy that one.
....I really enjoy your reactions....alas though,,,I saw a 'bit' of red face when you were trying to 'explain' the relationship..... living together is one thing....making the 'commitment' to the one you love is quite another. when I first saw how beautiful my wife was , (in a classroom in college), and GEORGEOUS hazel/blue eyes...well, next Oct will be our 60 yr anniversary....I'm SO glad she said YES to that 1st on campus date!
I lost count how many times I went to see Enter The Dragon at the cinema. One unique human being, and I think I am right in saying he would be 84 this November 27th had he lived. 😞
Any Bruce Lee fan should look up Bruce Lee the Lost Interview. Canadian journalist Pierre Burton interviews Bruce in 1971. You get to know Bruce the man and his philosophies.
A one of kind person that changed how the world looked at fitness and how he constantly promoted the mindset to challenge yourself and never underestimate the possibilities that no one has ever been done before.
Yes, Bruce Lee's son Brandon was killed while filming The Crow by a shot from a gun loaded with blanks. The wad from the shot is what hit him. What was most bizarre about it though is that one of his Dad's movies had a scene where Bruce's character is a famous actor filming a movie and is shot by another actor while filming.
Theres video of him on YT playing ping pong and lighting matches mid air with nunchakus! Some of the coolest footage of him I'm surprised the compilation didn't mention. His level of concentration was for sure next level and after seeing that there's no doubt in my mind he could catch rice with chop sticks, especially considering using chopsticks is normal for the Chinese. 😁🥡🥢 Bruce Lee was one of my biggest inspirations to lose weight. His spirit definitely lives on. Thanks for another cool vid guys. 🙏🐉
There is a series on HBO called "Warrior" the brainchild of Bruce Lee. One of the executive producers (of which there were many) was Shannon Lee Bruce's daughter. There are 3 seasons and was released 2019.
The slapping incident could easily have happened. If you watch Bruce fight, he often blocked attacks with an open hand allowing him to guide the direction of the blow, or turn it into a grab. Even in MMA, open hand techniques (I guess they could be considered "slaps") are common to turn, or reposition your opponent to optimize your next attack.
For the philosophical Bruce look up his interview at : Bruce Lee: The Lost Interview | Full Version. Yes, check out some of his movies, look for Enter the Dragon which was more of his work. It has Jackie Chan making an appearance (lol) as well as the room of mirrors.
"Pumping Iron" the movie (1977 documentary) features the sport of body building, with eventually a focus on Arnold Schwarzenegger and Lou Ferrigno and their competition for the professional Mr. Olympia title (which Arnold had already won 5 times). Lou Ferrigno would also parlay his successful body sculpting career into an acting career as "The Incredible Hulk" for 5 tv seasons in the late 1970's, and Arnold, of course, became the international movie star. A film good enough for your Saturday night if not your channel also.
If you watch him punch a bag 10:05, using power, he doesn't look unusually fast compared to boxers. Because that requires whole body movement. The one inch punch requires them to stand feet together, otherwise they won't fly back. In the clip here it isn't even 1 inch away. He threw it from his waist. That's a full power, regular punch. 18:53 Yes he is very fast. But that's just a parlor trick which requires you to strike while planted. Not practical in a real fight. I used to do quick little roundhouses to impress my friends. But they had no power. I also did one hand push ups. I was super skinny. I used to be a big lee fan. He had master offensive technique, but never showed his defense, and he was small. As a skinny twitchy boy myself, people also told me I was strong for my size. But that's the thing. Small is still small. I care more about lifting and getting big now.
Maybe you guys could react to one of his movies. I would suggest one called "The Chinese Connection", or also called "Fist Of Fury". It is one of his first featured films, and I think, one of his best. I always recommend you watch it with the original Cantonese, with subtitles, to get the real emotion of the actors.
Great reaction. Most of the stuff in the video is 100% true, it’s just unfortunate the narrator wasn’t great, and they used a lot of clips that had nothing to do with Bruce. It definitely could’ve been edited better. Bruce Lee was way ahead of his time. It wasn’t just his power and speed, but also his intelligence. When it came to martial arts, he was already training and adding graphing to his movies by 1972, well over 20 years before the UFC even was a thing.
Bruce Lee started in Wing Chun training with Ip Man, while there are weapons nunchucks are not one of them as were many of the weapons he learned to use. I too loved his spiritual side " If you tie 2 birds together though they have 4 wings they cannot fly" comes to mind, he also wrote the movie " circle of Iron" check out that movie to really get a feel for his philosophy.
Interesting. I think the quote about tying two birds together is from Rumi. When the actor James Coburn was filming in Morocco he was receiving both martial arts training from Lee and Sufi teaching from Ikbal Ali Shah, maybe that's where he heard it.
I've been a Bruce Lee devotee since the 70s. We didn't have Cell phones, but we had magazines, books, newspapers, and documentaries and you learned from his contemporaries what Bruce could actually do. Like all legends of course there is hype but there is no doubt that Sigung was far more than exceptional.
I remember seeing a documentary where a professor of physics said after witnessing the "one inch punch," that it wasn't possible, but he saw it with his own eyes, which means that despite the laws of physics, it WAS possible.
Look at Enter the Dragon scene where Ohara came in the room, and he did 5 punches in one second, but remember the film speed was only 24 frames a second.
Back in the day Bruce Lee wrote a couple of instruction books. *"The 1- and Three-Inch Power Punch"* and *"The Tao of Jeet Kune Do."* Think both are still available. Great reactions.
He is a legend because he is the philosopher and has the discipline. The narrator saying he could 9 kicks + punches in a second is obviously not real, but Bruce in reality is special.
Right before I was born, Chuck Norris came to spokane to train in boxing for the Bruce Lee movie from my uncle Paul. There is a picture of Chuck with my uncle in my grandma's double wide.
God I was waiting for you to do a proper Bruce Lee reaction! You should react or see the movie "The Crow" together, it was directed and starred by Brandon Lee, Bruce Lee's son, that's the movie in which he got shot.
As a kid I had his training book, and as I remember it was all about building strength using resistance, like trying to ripping out chain from the ground etc. Cool stuff. I like weights, but resistance/cardio training is something else. More organic I’d say, especially if you’re living in a city.
As a Bruce fan from those days, I can tell you it would "seem" he certainly was superhuman, but some of this was embellished. The 9 punches and 6 kicks in 1 second is clearly humanly impossible. But 99% of everything else in this video is pretty much common knowledge for those of us Bruce fans from back then. How devastated and baffled I was when he passed. At 64, I am SO GLAD his memory and legacy is still that of the "Superhuman martial artist".
The fly with chopsticks goes back , at least, to around 1600 with Miyamoto Musashi. The story is someone was going to challenge him but saw him sitting eating rice. The sounds of chopsticks clicking wasn't him eating but catching flies. The challenger left.
Talking about amazing physical feats, can you guys react to "Wilt Chamberlain - the most athletic giant ever"? It's about a 7'1 demigod guy who had Michael Jordan athleticism mixed with powerlifter level strength and more. Quite frankly seeing his footage together with the commentary from people who witnissed him is surreal. Would be amazing to see your reaction to it, since you are avid weightlifters yourself and can better understand than others just how ridiculous his feats were
He also beat the crap out of Steve McQueen when he came at Bruce like a wildman, determined to knock him out. Bruce kicked him in the head twice, knocked him flat, and McQueen, who was a brawler, instantly became Bruce's student.
When I travel to Seattle for Sounders games I usually have my pregame meal at Tai Tung. Seattle's oldest (since 1935) Chinese restaurant. Bruce was a regular there when he was in town. Lots of pictures(and a life sized cutout!). And good food.
This guy was so deep, grew up with him, read lots of books on him, can't even begin to phantom how his mind worked, creating Jeet Kune Do. Reaction request guys: The "most" Feared Rugby Union teams in the world - The Springboks (South Africa) and The All Blacks (New Zealand) it'll be dearly appreciated and thanks in advance, remember the Rugby World Cup comes y'all way in 2031, if it's the LORD's will❤❤
We're not thinking why are you not calling her your wife we're thinking why have you not made her your wife. Love you guys videos keep up the good work.
Some see marriage as a needless 'contract' and nothing to do with a meaningful relationship, and rightfully so. To conform to the 'norm' is not really necessary for many intelligent humans.
This was an interesting video about Bruce Lee and as you pointed out seemed to focus on the myth side. There are other videos out there that give a more realistic perspective of his life including the philisophical side of Bruce Lee. As for his films which where in order Big Boss, Way of the Dragon, Fist of Fury, Enter the Dragon and te film he was working on at the time of his Death Game of Death. There is very little of Bruce in the published movie but one particular scene was the pagoda which in it's entirety is arounf 20 minutes long. Again the full unedited scene is available on youtube. If you want a reccomendation as to which film to react to I would reccomend Way of the Dragon. The only reason being you get to witness more than the masrtial artist, he's also very funny throughout this film which is not explored in any of his other films. Just my opinion ofc. And please please remember, apart from Enter the Dragon which was produced through an american studio his other films are dubbed for one, and not much of a storyline, your watching these primarly to witness the skills of Bruce as a mastial artist.
I've watched you guys react to Dimash Kudaibergen. Dimash is to music as Bruce Lee is to martial arts. Bruces motto - using no way as way - having no limitation as limitation. I'm 68 and Bruce Lee has been my inspiration since my teens and inspired me to continue with martial arts. To me - Bruce Lee changed things for the Chinese people all around the world.
Thanks for another entertaining vid, guys. If you want to see Bruce Lee doing some almost superhuman feats on camera, look up him playing ping pong with nun chucks, and using nun chucks to light matches out of the air. The footage is on RUclips. 🤘
The shoulder dislocating incidents i have never heard or read about those the amount of puches and kicks in one second or less either the amount of push ups in a row especially on on two or three fingers either and i use to have numeruos Bruce Lee books and books by his students and one of his workout books Expressing The Human Body.
A few more stories i have heard is bruce being able to strike anyone within 10 feet and sending a 200 lbs heavy bag flying with a sidekick. Also even in 1999 on lethal weapon 4 they had to slow down jet li to see his moves. I think they filmed at 32 fps and slowed to 24fps.
Good reaction as always as you guys are one of my favorite reactors. Few notes As you suspected there was some accuracy and embellishment but Considering this was almost 50 years ago give or take we are getting further from the time of his day. One thing not mentioned was for his time he was doing things and saying things that were not only unheard of of but looked down on. Mixing martial arts in the day wasn’t even thought of as the Masters and styles were very possessive of their art, especially when you think of the history and countries he was mixing his material. Probably his biggest growth in knowledge and expertise probably was not an accident as at the time he was away from the conservative Chinese culture and now exposed to the melting pot environment of America and exposed himself to study philosophy in Seattle . Now years Later with MMA being so popular, Dana white and many if not most credit him as being the father of MMA that is not by accident. He was truly skilled and his movies are still a standard for his fight scenes. But his true gift to the Martial Arts community was his vision and his ability to inspire us to look inward with an open mind to Challenge ourselves to excellence ❤🙏
Bruce Lee was 32 when he died and his son Brandon Lee was only 28 when he died.
RIP Bruce Lee and Brandon Lee.

Yes, Bruce Lee's son Brandon was killed while filming The Crow by a shot from a gun loaded with blanks. The wad from the shot is what hit him. What was most bizarre about it though is that one of his Dad's movies had a scene where Bruce's character is a famous actor filming a movie and is shot by another actor while filming.
Theres video of him on YT playing ping pong and lighting matches mid air with nunchakus! Some of the coolest footage of him I'm surprised the compilation didn't mention. His level of concentration was for sure next level and after seeing that there's no doubt in my mind he could catch rice with chop sticks, especially considering using chopsticks is normal for the Chinese. 😁🥡🥢
Bruce Lee was one of my biggest inspirations to lose weight. His spirit definitely lives on. Thanks for another cool vid guys. 🙏🐉
There is a series on HBO called "Warrior" the brainchild of Bruce Lee. One of the executive producers (of which there were many) was Shannon Lee Bruce's daughter. There are 3 seasons and was released 2019.
Best Fighter in the world...Back and for ever...!!!😮😊
Died in 1973. Seems like yesterday! Still loving you Bruce!❤
The GOAT. Period.
Bruce Lee was a good fighter, idolized him as a kid even now, good review 🤜🤛👊
The slapping incident could easily have happened. If you watch Bruce fight, he often blocked attacks with an open hand allowing him to guide the direction of the blow, or turn it into a grab. Even in MMA, open hand techniques (I guess they could be considered "slaps") are common to turn, or reposition your opponent to optimize your next attack.
For the philosophical Bruce look up his interview at : Bruce Lee: The Lost Interview | Full Version. Yes, check out some of his movies, look for Enter the Dragon which was more of his work. It has Jackie Chan making an appearance (lol) as well as the room of mirrors.
♥ Bruce Lee - there's a video of Brice playing ping pong with nunchucks! 😯
that, was fake.😅
"Pumping Iron" the movie (1977 documentary) features the sport of body building, with eventually a focus on Arnold Schwarzenegger and Lou Ferrigno and their competition for the professional Mr. Olympia title (which Arnold had already won 5 times). Lou Ferrigno would also parlay his successful body sculpting career into an acting career as "The Incredible Hulk" for 5 tv seasons in the late 1970's, and Arnold, of course, became the international movie star. A film good enough for your Saturday night if not your channel also.
If you watch him punch a bag 10:05, using power, he doesn't look unusually fast compared to boxers. Because that requires whole body movement.
The one inch punch requires them to stand feet together, otherwise they won't fly back. In the clip here it isn't even 1 inch away. He threw it from his waist. That's a full power, regular punch. 18:53
Yes he is very fast. But that's just a parlor trick which requires you to strike while planted. Not practical in a real fight. I used to do quick little roundhouses to impress my friends. But they had no power. I also did one hand push ups. I was super skinny.
I used to be a big lee fan. He had master offensive technique, but never showed his defense, and he was small. As a skinny twitchy boy myself, people also told me I was strong for my size. But that's the thing. Small is still small. I care more about lifting and getting big now.
I personally know "small" guys that hit like trucks. Technique and speed=power.
Maybe you guys could react to one of his movies. I would suggest one called "The Chinese Connection", or also called "Fist Of Fury". It is one of his first featured films, and I think, one of his best. I always recommend you watch it with the original Cantonese, with subtitles, to get the real emotion of the actors.
Great reaction. Most of the stuff in the video is 100% true, it’s just unfortunate the narrator wasn’t great, and they used a lot of clips that had nothing to do with Bruce. It definitely could’ve been edited better.
Bruce Lee was way ahead of his time. It wasn’t just his power and speed, but also his intelligence. When it came to martial arts, he was already training and adding graphing to his movies by 1972, well over 20 years before the UFC even was a thing.
The UFC yes but fighters were fighting with striking and grappling before Bruce ever left HK.
@@cuzz63 I didn’t say they weren’t, of course they were. I didn’t say he invented it. lol.
Watching his films convinced me. More than once you can see his upper body literally double in size.
Love your reactions. Keep them coming. And Bruce Lee was first superhuman
Bruce Lee started in Wing Chun training with Ip Man, while there are weapons nunchucks are not one of them as were many of the weapons he learned to use. I too loved his spiritual side " If you tie 2 birds together though they have 4 wings they cannot fly" comes to mind, he also wrote the movie " circle of Iron" check out that movie to really get a feel for his philosophy.
Interesting. I think the quote about tying two birds together is from Rumi. When the actor James Coburn was filming in Morocco he was receiving both martial arts training from Lee and Sufi teaching from Ikbal Ali Shah, maybe that's where he heard it.
The 70s were an era of superhuman talent...It was an inspirational time to grow up in..
I've been a Bruce Lee devotee since the 70s. We didn't have Cell phones, but we had magazines, books, newspapers, and documentaries and you learned from his contemporaries what Bruce could actually do. Like all legends of course there is hype but there is no doubt that Sigung was far more than exceptional.
Dan Inosanto, Sammo Hung, Jacky Chan, Bolo Yeung, who are still alive can tell how fast he was...
I remember seeing a documentary where a professor of physics said after witnessing the "one inch punch," that it wasn't possible, but he saw it with his own eyes, which means that despite the laws of physics, it WAS possible.
Look at Enter the Dragon scene where Ohara came in the room, and he did 5 punches in one second, but remember the film speed was only 24 frames a second.
I'm 63 now but when I was 21 and at my peak of my martial arts my kicks where timed at 3 kicks per second
iv been looking for a good bruce lee poster to motivate me. cant find what i want.
Congrats guys 💖
Back in the day Bruce Lee wrote a couple of instruction books. *"The 1- and Three-Inch Power Punch"* and *"The Tao of Jeet Kune Do."* Think both are still available. Great reactions.
My daughter has been training for almost 6 years (Okinawa Karate), and it is a lot of hard work. Bruce Lee was the Master of his Art.
"top 10 CRAZY Flying submissions in MMA" insane vidéo !
He is a legend because he is the philosopher and has the discipline. The narrator saying he could 9 kicks + punches in a second is obviously not real, but Bruce in reality is special.
😊 he is one of my favourite martial artists 😊
Right before I was born, Chuck Norris came to spokane to train in boxing for the Bruce Lee movie from my uncle Paul. There is a picture of Chuck with my uncle in my grandma's double wide.
The GOAT of kung fu . . .
Bruce amazing
God I was waiting for you to do a proper Bruce Lee reaction! You should react or see the movie "The Crow" together, it was directed and starred by Brandon Lee, Bruce Lee's son, that's the movie in which he got shot.
as his wife Linda put it "Bruce was a very old soul, that came to visit us for a little while"
William Cheung, who studied Wing Chun kung fu under the same teacher as Bruce Lee, held the world record for awhile with 25 punches per second.
Dimash and Bruce Lee are both world wonders
I think they meant to say 6 punches OR kicks in a second
As a kid I had his training book, and as I remember it was all about building strength using resistance, like trying to ripping out chain from the ground etc. Cool stuff. I like weights, but resistance/cardio training is something else. More organic I’d say, especially if you’re living in a city.
As a Bruce fan from those days, I can tell you it would "seem" he certainly was superhuman, but some of this was embellished. The 9 punches and 6 kicks in 1 second is clearly humanly impossible. But 99% of everything else in this video is pretty much common knowledge for those of us Bruce fans from back then. How devastated and baffled I was when he passed. At 64, I am SO GLAD his memory and legacy is still that of the "Superhuman martial artist".
The fly with chopsticks goes back , at least, to around 1600 with Miyamoto Musashi. The story is someone was going to challenge him but saw him sitting eating rice. The sounds of chopsticks clicking wasn't him eating but catching flies. The challenger left.
Talking about amazing physical feats, can you guys react to "Wilt Chamberlain - the most athletic giant ever"?
It's about a 7'1 demigod guy who had Michael Jordan athleticism mixed with powerlifter level strength and more.
Quite frankly seeing his footage together with the commentary from people who witnissed him is surreal.
Would be amazing to see your reaction to it, since you are avid weightlifters yourself and can better understand than others just how ridiculous his feats were
He played ping pong with Nunchuks against 2 people and won. He also threw matches into the air and lit them with nunchucks.
This is a complete lie.
It was a fake AI video.
He also beat the crap out of Steve McQueen when he came at Bruce like a wildman, determined to knock him out. Bruce kicked him in the head twice, knocked him flat, and McQueen, who was a brawler, instantly became Bruce's student.
When I travel to Seattle for Sounders games I usually have my pregame meal at Tai Tung. Seattle's oldest (since 1935) Chinese restaurant. Bruce was a regular there when he was in town. Lots of pictures(and a life sized cutout!). And good food.
This guy was so deep, grew up with him, read lots of books on him, can't even begin to phantom how his mind worked, creating Jeet Kune Do.
Reaction request guys: The "most" Feared Rugby Union teams in the world - The Springboks (South Africa) and The All Blacks (New Zealand) it'll be dearly appreciated and thanks in advance, remember the Rugby World Cup comes y'all way in 2031, if it's the LORD's will❤❤
Superfoot Wallace was another crazy athlete. I forgot how many kicks he could do in a second. I know one of his kicks clocked in at 67 mph.
We're not thinking why are you not calling her your wife we're thinking why have you not made her your wife. Love you guys videos keep up the good work.
Some see marriage as a needless 'contract' and nothing to do with a meaningful relationship, and rightfully so. To conform to the 'norm' is not really necessary for many intelligent humans.
He was so fast they had to slow down the slow motion camera.
Bruce lee the king of kung fu the best in history forever the talk is over foreveeer 🤫🤫🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉💪💪💪💪💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤫😏👊👊👊👊👊👊
You should check out Barry Sanders’ highlights.
Dedication and discipline is key.
Bruce Lee was an amazingly talented martial artist. I would take much of this being said with a grain of salt. 1500 push-ups ...... no way!
He wasn't a big heavy guy and the world record is apparently 3249 push-ups so I don't think that is impossible.
There's lots of footage of bruce fighting out there 😮😮
This was an interesting video about Bruce Lee and as you pointed out seemed to focus on the myth side. There are other videos out there that give a more realistic perspective of his life including the philisophical side of Bruce Lee.
As for his films which where in order Big Boss, Way of the Dragon, Fist of Fury, Enter the Dragon and te film he was working on at the time of his Death Game of Death. There is very little of Bruce in the published movie but one particular scene was the pagoda which in it's entirety is arounf 20 minutes long. Again the full unedited scene is available on youtube. If you want a reccomendation as to which film to react to I would reccomend Way of the Dragon. The only reason being you get to witness more than the masrtial artist, he's also very funny throughout this film which is not explored in any of his other films. Just my opinion ofc.
And please please remember, apart from Enter the Dragon which was produced through an american studio his other films are dubbed for one, and not much of a storyline, your watching these primarly to witness the skills of Bruce as a mastial artist.
You gotta do a Barry Sanders reaction!!!!!
Game of Death!
I've watched you guys react to Dimash Kudaibergen. Dimash is to music as Bruce Lee is to martial arts. Bruces motto - using no way as way - having no limitation as limitation. I'm 68 and Bruce Lee has been my inspiration since my teens and inspired me to continue with martial arts. To me - Bruce Lee changed things for the Chinese people all around the world.
You should react to him playing ping pong with nunchuks!
Thanks for another entertaining vid, guys. If you want to see Bruce Lee doing some almost superhuman feats on camera, look up him playing ping pong with nun chucks, and using nun chucks to light matches out of the air. The footage is on RUclips. 🤘
The shoulder dislocating incidents i have never heard or read about those the amount of puches and kicks in one second or less either the amount of push ups in a row especially on on two or three fingers either and i use to have numeruos Bruce Lee books and books by his students and one of his workout books Expressing The Human Body.
A few more stories i have heard is bruce being able to strike anyone within 10 feet and sending a 200 lbs heavy bag flying with a sidekick. Also even in 1999 on lethal weapon 4 they had to slow down jet li to see his moves. I think they filmed at 32 fps and slowed to 24fps.
Good reaction as always as you guys are one of my favorite reactors. Few notes As you suspected there was some accuracy and embellishment but
Considering this was almost 50 years ago give or take we are getting further from the time of his day. One thing not mentioned was for his time he was doing things and saying things that were not only unheard of of but looked down on. Mixing martial arts in the day wasn’t even thought of as the Masters and styles were very possessive of their art, especially when you think of the history and countries he was mixing his material. Probably his biggest growth in knowledge and expertise probably was not an accident as at the time he was away from the conservative Chinese culture and now exposed to the melting pot environment of America and exposed himself to study philosophy in Seattle .
Now years Later with MMA being so popular, Dana white and many if not most credit him as being the father of MMA that is not by accident. He was truly skilled and his movies are still a standard for his fight scenes.
But his true gift to the Martial Arts community was his vision and his ability to inspire us to look inward with an open mind to
Challenge ourselves to excellence ❤🙏
I loved the Green Hornet
Nun chuck ping pong against 2 guys is amazing
amazing CGI.
It's fake, but fun to watch.
Bruce Lee also can play ping pong with nunchucks against two other men on RUclips. Amazing! Talk about speed and accuracy! A must watch! 🙂
that was made up for nokia I believe
LOL
Haha
he had a 6 inch punch that would knock someone off their feet and I also think he had a 1 inch punch. he had amazing power
