My new favourite saying,
“He slapped the hypothetical out of him”.
1:18 I just sing to them “I’m all outa FUCKS..” I’m solo without you” lol 😂
1:21 I agree! Maybe so.. here’s a strategy you guys might like. 1. Reach at an opponent back hand with a twist of the waist and have your back hand palm reach a smack towards your opponent (standing southpaw) is be using my back left hand. (He’s standing right up front too let’s say) now.. as I reach at his face he has to cover so he raises his right arm. 2. LOP SAO (right hand grabbing hand) 3. SAME TIME left hand now free BUI GEE left hand. Here’s one more. 1. I reach over front hand (right hand southpaw position) he covers right hand high guard ok. 2. STEP RIGHT and spear the left eye with a left hand BUI GEE and HOOK or UPPERCUT ⚠️immediately!! ㊙️🤛💥
I think it's important to keep in mind that photography is rarely objective. Photography masks itself in objectivity, which gives it the illusion of truth, but in reality, it's always constructed and made subjectively.
What are you referencing?
Cribbed mostly from Jiddu Krishnamurti,
45:44 THE YOUNG BLACK TEANAGERS “Tap the bottle and twist the cap” or DAZ EFFECTS had that “Bum-skittily-bum thing” 😂🤛
Brandon wanted to be a mainstream actor and had the look and relatively decent acting skills. He likely would've progressed in Hollywood and done much better than his Dad ever did in Hollywood.
To KFG, Dre, & Micky Dean,
I just wanted to express my gratitude for your show. I learned from you, Matt Polly so much about Bruce Lee, & for keeping it 💯. I’ve gotten to know one of my personal hero so much through you on this show and also on dudes.
Also I love Wing Chun way before the I.P man movies. You are an invaluable resource on Wing Tsun having studied in depth. I’ve enjoyed your anecdotes training abroad & with so many teachers. Please do more castle stories! Your roommate punching the chicken hilarious 😂 🤘🏽
Thank you so much!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Maybe doing a show with a doctor to explain and/or dispell medical issues concerning Bruce?
This thought has crossed my mind.
1:11:08 you two are so ffff funny it’s crazy..😂 I knew DREISON was DRE ISON the whole time..💡
19:49 Is say PAK MEI (the forbidden style) and WHITE CRANE could be used to benefit a WING CHUN base. Only after you understand the WING first 💯💥🤛
34:03 Keanu is actually nasty at Kung fu. I’ve seen his hands and he knows some stuff. If you look at the moves in the movies THE MATRIX you’ll see a lot more CHOY LEE FUT looking stylings.
The famous actress in question was Ingrid Bergman, of which Joey Chen claims to be his Godmother...
That’s right!
50:25 lol 😂
25:00 exactly. This way we don’t come out of structure and look goofy loosing balance trying to whopper kick somebody. When we have all these quality moves to win with easy? HUEN SAO WU SAO PAK SAO and FOOK SAO. Easy tricks to use once mastered and true knowledge is attained. I see your point. Looking elsewhere could throw us off. 🤛💯💥
36:09 That would have ruled. Brandon as NEO
Yo KFG and the crew! I have a Bruce Lee/You/Martial Arts question: There's the Bruce Lee quote “Before I learned the art, a punch was just a punch, and a kick, just a kick. After I learned the art, a punch was no longer a punch, a kick, no longer a kick. Now that I understand the art, a punch is just a punch and a kick is just a kick.” This seems to be a common cycle for martial artists, especially in TCMA with all the mystique and fanfare, when they see beyond the fancy names and philosophies and get a more grounded perspective of the art. Do you recall your moment of clarity, when a punch was just a punch again?
You guys are always a great listen, and I look forward to the next episode!
B
Great question!
41:08 my knee I got one and my neck
56:25 exactly. I can’t stand when people make Bruce out to be a beyond possibility athlete. That he couldn’t be touched. He was impervious.. all that crap. 💥
these boys are hilarious and informative. precaite y'all
This Dreison mistery is crazy!
Must watch next episode, maybe we can get a glimpse of the truth behind this character!
I hope so
42:42 I love how people always act like they know why Bruce died, and they ascribe some mild health symptom to causing his death. He had a a swollen head guys? It had nothing to do with stuff he was taking. More likely not resting enough. Wearing down the body over time. Straining and struggling can cause heart damage when we don’t rest enough.
He died because of his nutrition, training and drugs. Really simple.
@@lorenzosteele2531 probably.. weak tissue in the brain I’m an expert on.. he could have taken a hard blow or possibly rocked himself with one of his own hits.
Sifu Alex,
Holly Cow I was going to ask about the Joey Chang and Summo Hung comment
Sifu Alex, I heard the same thing about Brandon being in the matrix and how the creators had Brandon in mind when they created Neo. I also heard that Stan Lee approached Brandon not to long before his passing to play Shang-Chi.
Btw I also read, LOL... That Bruce was not to happy with the GOD and was thinking of going back and editing it.
1:20 Truthfully.. when it comes to JKD. He created a way to SUPER POWER your WING CHUN. Nothing more. He simply showed us that having several structures to draw from can out game an opponent. There are JKD people saying “Bruce gave up Wing Chun right here on RUclips. It’s cray... lol (crazy) You guys... JKD is a method of timing and a philosophy of motion... it simply carries on where WING CHUN left off. He was developing a way to exponentially increase his productivity in the mat and in the real street beef. He was a warrior. A realistic man with realistic goals who achieved them and people are still jealous to this day. I get guys all the time saying “That won’t work” n I tell them. Show me your JKD! I don’t wanna hear about what doesn’t work? So do people do tutorials on how to not do stuff? But this is all I see. “What’s wrong with Brazilian jui jitsu” (WHY IS WING CHUN FAKE) 🤮☝️I’m ok.. excuse me I just barfed. But do you see what I see? A bunch of theorists theoretically theorizing theories... 😳
Asking here ;) ;) Could you (if you haven't already) tell us the pros and cons of working with a social media marketing company? I remember you talking about how you took over some of yours and I'm curious how and if your business benefited from their services. Much respect and keep up the great work!
Better to learn it yourself THEN outsource!
45:58 I agree with DRE
24:00 I grab the chicken wings n steak first. Pizza and carbs at the end.
Sifu please try to get Dan Inosanto on the podcast.
That'll be legendary.
Awesome episode
There are barriers to getting him that are out of my control.
@@TheKungFuGenius Ah man, anyways love your podcast, have been a follower for a long time.
You, Dre and Micky are awesome.
Much love from Pakistan ❤️
As a teacher or sifu , how do you control the balance between letting the student find their own truth/approach within the style and-the implementation of your own KFG personal experience and imparting your wisdom within the style or styles?
Great episode btw. Thanks for answering my Q in the episode
Great question
@@TheKungFuGenius not as long winded as my featured episode one 😂
31:15 Brandon was already in a few movies at that point where he started THE CROW. But THE CROW set the tone for him. It’s a shame cuz if he was alive to see it would have been better.👌💥
Do you still use the Chi Sau Sections? If not, any particular reason?
No, I teach Hong Kong style!
Hi Siifu,
I just watched the David Carradine podcast program you performed . I am late in discovering your podcast, I am a former student of Big Sean. I intermittently listened to the "Dudes of Kung Fu (unfortunately).
I think I discovered the source of the "pieces of garden hose" used by Carradine in the old infomercial that you discussed in that episode . I found a website that sells "Physiostix" that are based upon the Fibonacci method (???). The Phisiostix were invented by Rob Moises one of David's KF instructors. Rob Moises is a student of Kam Yuen . Kam is a Northern Shaolin/Mantis master from Hong Kong. It appears to have been invented for horseback riders to loosen up the riders prior to a ride.
I think cutting a piece of garden hose would be much easier and less costly than Physiostix , which you said. I believe I understand why David was drafted to try to help to unload the Physiostix. Please keep the podcasts coming!
Thank you.
Jack
Thanks for that info and thank you for commenting!
I know Carradine was legit Norris even gave him credit on The Dick Cavett Show he was trained by 3 different sifu's
9:35 he won the right to teach jkd ..☝️
56:55 bro i was sad at this part 😔
Me too man…
40:22 good lookin out with the true details. Corticosteroids are different than steroids. Exactly bud
7:49 “BEERDY” 🤡⚠️
Brandon Bruce Lee would have been a more rounded actor than his father. For instance, Obi-Wan Kenobi in the 2nd reprisal the Star Wars franchise would probably be portrayed Brandon & not Eagan McGregor. Instead The Matrix maybe John Wick . Instead of Matt Damien I definitely believe Brandon Lee would be an excellent Jason Bourne 👍!! Then he could do roles that has nothing to do with action . Brandon came from an acting family, his grandfather was an actor. If given the chance, & not being viewed as Bruce Lee's son ( because it's about how the audience will proceed you) Brandon would be a great actor 👍
You know, I think I underestimated Bruce's acting ability with my comments about of his son being a more rounded actor. Bruce started acting long before he even had choice to be an actor much less a martial artist. As a 👶 Bruce made his 1st appearance in a film 🎥 his father held him up by the armpits. Bruce was child actor in the 50's & did minor fight scenes that didn't require any scientific choreography. In saying, Bruce was an actor looonnnngg before he became a martial artist. With that acting background, he didn't need to go to acting school like many martial arts action stars did after his time. That's 1 of the reasons he remains a draw to the world's imagination to this day. BOTH Father & Son were on their way to be legendary actors
From what I've heard from old timers who were at Ed Parker's Long beach Karate Championships, Bruce Lee's philosophies, at least on traditional martial arts, were kind of the opposite of great self promotion. Most of the karate guys were pissed off at this "cocky" young Chinese guy coming in telling them they were doing it all wrong. It made him more unpopular than popular. They tolerated it because those who challenged his ideas learned he could back up his cockiness with technique, but as far as promotion it was more a case of "it doesn't matter what they say about you as long as they spell your name right." He got people's attention, but not always in a positive way. I think even Dan Inosanto said that he didn't like Bruce at first, because of his cocky attitude.
36:13 omg
Yup
Another fine show. I love these stories about Si Gung Tam Hun Fan, I will have to ask Sifu for more juicy details. I understand that he was already proficient in another style of Kung Fu before coming to Wing Tsun, but I still take motivation from him coming to it later in life. Great advice on that front again in this episode too. Perhaps for those medical questions you could get the renowned Dr. Eison to come on to the show? Slightly random question - do you know of anywhere to find Wing Chun terminology with Yale style notation? There's a little on Wikipedia but mostly there's no notation in other sources and my native speaking Si Hings have no idea about the notation. (I'm unfortunately not likely to be able to read Chinese characters any time soon).
Doh. I meant Jyutping 🤦♀️
I'm inclined to agree with you Mr. Richter on your marketing and Bruce's note book , you are right on point.
Thank you!
Before his death there was virtually NOTHING about Bruce's personal life. Nothing came to being until years later
in the late 70's did bits & parts of his private life came to "light ". An old song about Bruce sums it up correctly & actually exist "🎶 He's a 🐲 he's a hero , but ,his life's a mystery 🎶"He's a 🐲 he's a hero 🎶& his name is Bruce Lee 🎶" a singing group from Africa 🌍 supposed to had sung it
The Crow would have a cult following regardless because it's adapted from the comic that has a cult following... issue 1 at high grade went for 13K at auction earlier this year... and it's not because of the movie.
Regarding Brandon, I also think the way in which he died, which was coincidentally, just like a scene depicted, in one of his father's movies. I think this played a factor, in the cult following as well. JMHO!
Thank you for your comment. I always found it strange when other people have drawn comparisons to Brandon’s death and Game of Death - a film that his father never completed and did not intend to have his character get shot in the course of the film. It’s a weird equivalent.
Great work KFG. What about Different ideas from other Ip Man students like WSL Gary Lam. Internal Nim Lik Chu Shoong Tin. and the 7 difference types of punches like Wong Kam Leong.. Your thoughts could Wing chun families inspire each other in Ving Tsun.
It’s not my place to discuss specialties of lineages I don’t practice
Bruce's philosophy writings were Art of War.Book of 5 rings and Allan Watts recycled.to a new reader to eastern thought and you grab Bruce's books you'd think it was genius.the genius part is that he took the time to read and pick apart other peoples writings.
👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌❤️❤️❤️❤️
Awesome show and great answer. Thanks
Thanks for the question!
9:30 the people that are really doing jkd don’t have time to argue about the essence .. we know already .. THE SHAOLIN WAY ..🐉🕊㊙️
Even an elite MMA fighter at their core is really a master of one style and it’s their go to.Machida is a karate guy at his core and his approach towards MMA draws from that prospective of a karate guy. Same thing with Lesner as a wrestler. He does other things but he is a wrestler.
@KFG at the 10 year anniversary of Bruce Lee's death one of those present was his main equipment fabricator. He said he was working on a mechanical dummy(paraphrased)because Lee could no longer work up a sweat training/sparring with "human beings".. What do you know about this claim?
I live my life by 2 of he's Philosophy quotes,Be Water and Walk on,it's definitely legit,looking forward to this episode Alex.
You Know.... That idea about Brandon Lee doing the Matrix is totally Possible now with Deep Fake and Programs like that.... Someone should do it... 😉
41:39 Ya cortisone isn’t DECADURABAL HORSE STEROIDS like they use in body building 💥💯
When the idea of The Matrix was in early development in the early 1990s Lana & Lilly Wachowski's first choice for the role of Neo was Brandon Lee but he died tragically on the set of The Crow (1994).
From IMDB for The Matrix
Glad I didn’t misremember that!
I heard Will Smith was offered the role as well.
They made a Bruce Lee Deepfake 500 days of Summer
Wow
Hey sifu alex, what do you think big sean's reaction wouldve been to the revelation of the drug letters?
I don’t think he would have been surprised or shocked.
Big up 4 including me in the questions! 🙂
Great question!
Great Episode again . What is your opinion on Adam Chan? I think it would be great to get him on your show. 😊
He's an interesting one huh. Adam Chan, Dr. Mark Phillips, Alan Orr, Jason Korol (and of course the KFG!). I love the overlaps of all these Sifus' philosophies. Have you seen Adam's interview with Jerry from fight breakdowns though? He's adamant that he hasn't practiced Wing Chun since 1990 something, despite having a multitude of videos on RUclips on the subject, and running classes teaching it. I'm not sure if he means what he does is actually a Hakka art, or that he has a different idea of what it means to be practicing a martial art.
@@KungFuRustle i watched a couples of his Videos, but i didn't watch this. Can you send me a Link please? Thx 😊
Definitely worth checking out his interviews with all the people mentioned above (including the KFG!). It's a massively under-rated channel. Hopefully it's okay to post link here, I can delete if not - don't want to step on any toes.
@@rademarinkovic4582 It's definitely worth a watch. Also check out his interviews with the others I have mentioned (including the KFG) - it's a super under-rated channel, just like this one.
ruclips.net/video/FD-r2QOYiwI/видео.html
Urgh not sure what happened there. Why can't you edit comments lol? Hope you get the idea anyway
@@KungFuRustle thx a lot . I will watch it ,when i am at home again
Hi see sifu Alex loving the episode as I do all of them. what you said about Brandon lee in the matrix OMG never thought about it like that before and do you know that the Matrix was offered to Will Smith first before Keanu Reeves
Thanks for commenting
9:19 (PROFOUND QUESTION) “You nailed it right on the head” JKD is a tool bag. It is WING CHUN and it always will be. But.. he added freedoms and innovations, just like others have. But ya, JKD is an idea. It’s a method of interception involving TIMING BROKEN RYTHYM 5 WAYS OF ATTACK GATE THEORY Economy of motion and nearest target longest weapon. It’s all to help your WING CHUN. We do all the forms, we study the same materials as you guys do. We work in the trap (GOR SAO) range and use GARY LAM COLLECTION methods .. so ya, JKD can be very wing chun
@@sifulowkey2619 yup
@@sifulowkey2619 ah ha.. so you are under the wrong impression then my good sir.. all kidding aside.. on a serious note.. centerline principle and theory in general doesn’t mean we don’t attack the angles in WING CHUN .. according to my SIFU. We have HIGH WING CHUN . The slappy snappy facing long armed FACING type.. then we have the ANGLED TYPE that controls balance and hits your structure. Then we have SOP or soft energy type with HUEN SAO being our most used move. I’m speaking in honesty so as to not lead you do down the wrong path.. we attack the center to make you feel the hit in your spine. But the methods of getting that done definitely include punch over punch and many angled attacks.. what you’re referring to.. is a common misconception because people get into watching tv and RUclips and forget to actually go out and stop into a Kung fu school instead of watching social media? Beliefs like this are easy to fix, just talk to an expert instead of a argument type guy..
@@sifulowkey2619 see, in jkd.. the way we teach the straight blast is.. we make a good boxing or vertical fist hit.. and then blast till he’s out.. in wing chun it’s much the same.. except.. there is BAD WING CHUN out there.. just like the bad JKD.. they teach people to go out there winging hitsup someone’s center.. like a dummy they get hooked.. but don’t worry.. most of us competent artists know the difference
Sifu Richter-would you discuss 'beimo' fights that took place in Hong Kong? I have read that Wong Shun-leung was undefeated. Is 'beimo' real or just internet nonsense? Are these fights still going on?
Great questions!
@@sifulowkey2619 Thank you Dan Da Man!
You got your answer so I don’t need to do it on the show lol
@@TheKungFuGenius I was hoping for one of your thoughtful, detailed responses.
You already got the lowdown from Sifu Downlow who asks people to travel to China to see Bruce Lees secret son without a shred of evidence. I can’t too the in-depth knowledge of anonymous experts on youtube.
Sifu what do you think about Tom Bleecker?
He's a student of Bruce and has a RUclips channel and there he talked about Bruce Lee and that he says that Bruce used anabolic steroids.
This is the video....
ruclips.net/video/zrjsYOQAtvc/видео.html
I want you to repeat this slowly: Corticosteroids are not anabolic steroids. Say that 10 times. Anabolic steroids often create water retention and weight gain. Did Bruce seem to be gaining weight and retaining water?
@@TheKungFuGenius Ah ik ik, I understood it all, it's just that his student was saying that he was using performance enhancers, anabolic steroids etc
Tom Bleecker was Bruce Lee’s student now?
@@TheKungFuGenius Yes he says that in his videos that he was his student and trained with him
Trying to be an Ace at all styles & yet a Master of None is wasteful despair👎!! Constantly emptying your cup will over load your muscles memories when the time comes to defend yourself. Have reasons to learn other martial arts 🥋 if you're a student at your main martial arts school & you want to best your classmates
Watching now
I don’t doubt for a second that Bruce’s next Hollywood film following ETD would have been great. Maybe he could have worked with Charles Bronson or Steve McQueen even - but I’m afraid I don’t believe his body could have possibly been able to put out another physical performance like ETD. He was getting almost into his mid 30s. Maybe he could have eeked out one more..but..only maybe..And I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt that he takes a little time off to quit the coke, rest, avoid the heat strokes and bulk up a little first.
What’s it like to comment on people who’ve actually done something when you yourself have most likely done nothing?
You’re a coward who hides behind a handle. Nothing more.
All writing is compiled. Nobody has an original thought anyway.
Mr. KFG: If you were to create your own martial art, what would it consist of.
Guns, lots of guns
The truth is usually in the middle. Your comments on Bruce are balanced and well informed. Thanks for the post. Oh yeah, Sammo is a legend! Completely agree with you that Way of the Dragon is his best film in terms of fight choreography and expressing his personality and humor. Too bad westerners don't get it...
Thank you, totally agree with you on westerners not getting WotD
Oh man I missed it.. dang
Does anyone know if Steve McQueen already studied some martial arts before meeting Bruce? I wonder this because on the Pierre Burton interview, Bruce mentions how tough McQueen was. Bruce didn’t even mention any other students beside McQueen and Coburn.
Yes, he did some boxing earlier on.
I've read up and practiced what Bruce Lee wrote and trained in.basic jab and lead side kick.pretty much fencing.lol.little bit of wing chun.all of it I learned from the fighting method volumes and Tao of JKD.i didn't like calling it JKD.I just called it Martial Arts.and at the end of the day Bruce probably did or wanted to also.but for marketing it needs a name.but he knew a label is contradicting to what he was preaching .
Dr. Richter - Bruce Lee Autopsy Genius
People apparently think so
Sifu Alex hi again. I have a question. If bruce lee was a much much more accomplished wing chun practitioner would he of even bothered with JKD. A question for a later podcast or just an answer I leave it up to you. Oh and I cant believe someone called a fellow Englishman a sweaty sock. Bit of cockney rhyming slang for you there 😉👍🙏
Great question
@@TheKungFuGenius Really! I've thought about this for the last couple of months and I thought if I'd asked it you would just dismiss it because you might of thought it was stupid 😂 but really pleased you think so KFG. 👍😉💪
Question if Bruce lee was alive today would he be a champion in ufc?
Watch my episode from two weeks ago
he would be 81, i dont think so.
Interesting coincidence: at the time of his death, Brandon Lee owned a house just a couple doors down from the house that George Reeves (Superman) died in, and both houses are right around the corner from the house where the Manson Family murdered Sharon Tate and friends.
Coincidence ? Unless there are related people people among those dead celebrities, it will not be enough to close the case.
Thanks!
Some more coincidental relation between these locations, besides being walking distance from each other: Gene Lebell was friends with George Reeves and gave him judo lessons at that house. Lebell was also friends with Bruce Lee. Sharon Tate and Jay Sebring were friends of Bruce Lee. Years ago I tried to pitch an idea for a show called "What If ..." and the pilot was: what if Bruce Lee had been invited to the get together at Sharon Tate's house that night. This was decades before Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood".
@@paulclaerhout6997 unfortunately in this industry it is mostly about who you know and then if you have any talent you can stick around… i have seen people sticking around for a lomg time with no talent nor people skills. It is shameful
Whoa whoa whoa whoa WHOA Sifu ALEX!! TRUE Linda Lee did released the notes 📝 & photos of Bruce's Fighting Method & The Tao of Jeet Kune Do, however, it's to pay depths Bruce was in at the time of his death. I had those 📓 📚 , they were VERY useful 👌 educational & knowledgeable for Me!! They are THEE MOST Complete martial arts Publications in the world 🌎 & none of his followers EVER came close to exactly duplicating his contributions to martial arts combat. They WERE NOT just scattered notes just put together to sell 📚 !! There's a saying in cases similar to Bruce Lee's. You're more valuable Dead than Alive!! They are omens eerily & mysteriously Supernatural to Bruce's death. When you think 🤔 about it. Wow 😯 🙏!
Actually Sifu ,Bruce did do try to bring the philosophical side of his martial philosophies. Remember the phrase? "U put 💧 into a teacup it becomes the teacup, put 💧into a jar ( paraphrasing) it comes the jar ,💧 can crash or it can flow, by 💧my friend!" In the TV 📺 show Long street he said that very line. When Enter the Dragon 🐉 returned to the movies 🎥 in the late 70's. Promotion companies kept the philosophical side of his message OUT of the movie 🎥. In recent yrs those philosophies was restored back into film. The more power & freedom Bruce achieved the more he expressed it his thoughts
So your argument is that he did do it only for TV and the movies?
No, it actually his view to adapt to the world you're a part of. While in Rome, do what the Romans do ( the irony of those words, 🤔Chuck Norris vs Bruce Lee in the Colosseum in Rome filming The Way Of The Dragon 🐉) those words are part of his philosophy of being versatile & resourceful. Bruce had a LOT of quotes that's not universally known as the 💧quotes & being a student majoring in philosophy from The University of Washington it's not so surprising.
“Pain don’t hurt.”
-The Tao of Swayze
"I used to f guys like you in prison."
-Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus of Roadhouse
Great lines
Sifu Alex, Bruce was a BIG SELF PERMOTER & not just for himself, but, for Chinese & all minorities in general. Europeans wreather they're Americans or not treated minorities so racially Bruce Lee had to self promote for 3 reasons. 1. To show Chinese Are Strong yet tolerant 2. Seriously not so comical 3. Conservative & observative . It's plainfully obvious Bruce Lee sold himself because of the environment he lived in & to combat stereotypical views some would have on his Chinese
heritage & community. When he was bare chested in most his films 🎥 , showing the importance of physical training , selling the character he played thus selling the stories he's in.
Yah it's legit if he can beat almost anybody that confronted him.
I love when people comment before the episode is out
@@TheKungFuGenius Well it was based on anecdote testimonies. Bruce incorporated different styles around his Wing Chun. Parts THAT WORK like his fencing footwork and straight punch. But as years go by and fighting evolved people don't understand Bruce can easily evolve with it, because he shown his high IQ. Just like anything else there's basic foundation, and in fighting Bruce was trying to master that Chess game. His message was you can't beat me if I go on the offensive or go on the defensive. That correlates to DeMiles comment about Bruce he was untouchable. Sorry, I was lecturing but I want to back up my first initial comment.
@@axelstone3131 Good point, it's that in Bruce era, in the martial art community they want stay away from brutality so they invented point karate. Sure there was boxing and football was more brutal. Today's generation i was right they want to make mma seem is a special gold tier fighting art that Bruce may not be "qualified". Lol . Because this is aware how famous Bruce but there's lingering not many fight records, so, you see it goes
@@axelstone3131 Yes there are many non Asians bothered by Bruce popularity and he was married to a White woman. They're compelled to make insulting ignorant comments on comment sections about Bruce to make them feel good. Pathetically Childish
