Thanks.
This podcast has answered all the questions I needed to know cant thank u enough dude thank u I subscribed bro ❤
John Little is like a walking encyclopedia of Bruce Lee.
He sure is!
Yeah he is so is Danny Isanto too
I don’t know if he would do it
@@TheKungFuGenius I think he would
@@TheKungFuGenius It would be incredible to get him.
I found it surprising and fascinating that a lot of body builders said that Bruce lee had the most envious and perfect physique.
The impact that George Lee, Allen Joe, and James Yimm Lee had on Bruce cannot and should not be underestimated. Bruce was impressed with their heavily muscled physiques and each of them constructed unique training equipment for the Little Dragon.
Agreed
"Life is but a vapor that is here but for a moment, and then is...
gone."
James 4:14.
Man… seeing those images from his books brought me back. I remember making my own pulley for stretching system when i was a kid.
Me too!
I made his grip machine and ab machine.. love them!
My second favorite KFG interview, the first being the previous conversation with John Little. Thanks, Alex!
You’re welcome!
Just by looking at Bruce's physique ( with a keen detective 👁️) U can tell what part of Bruce's body he paid a lot of attention to. The dedication of Lee's Forearms was incredible!! A man who was as heavy as his wife ( 128 pds or less) & an accomplish Wing Chun practitioner, the forearms are 1 Bruce would improve...he taught me ( from studying his Fighting Method Books ) part of punching power comes from massive mighty forearms!! I practiced Wing Chun today & still works on my forearms whenever I could
He was also 155lbs for a time but didn’t like how his weight/muscles slowed him
Down so he slimmed down but he also slimmed down to get his physique that look he wanted for movies/mobiltiy/speed
Well Mr KFG you have pulled out another cracking episode .
This is a forensic look at Bruce's training.
These episodes with guests work really well.
Regards
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love John's books! I read them religiously in the 90's and used his work outs to hone my body! Amazing series of books and a must for any Bruce Lee fan.. great video thank you! 😎
You’re welcome!
FANTASTIC INTERVIEW! More John Little please!
I agree!
Love the "Golden Harvest" theme music....brings back memories. Loved your latest Bruce Lee letters to Bob Baker....very enlightening and now makes sense to how Bruce got the body he got at the end!
Glad you like it
i get goosebumps just listening to this !!!
Hugely informative - thank you for that superb interview.
Our pleasure!
Really enjoyed that, thanks guys
You’re welcome!
No shocker here, Bruce was a fanatic about MA, and fitness training.
Yup
@@TheKungFuGenius try to get linda lees ex husband tom bleecker to talk about bruce lee drug abuse with steroids . Matthew polly needs to compare facts and notes with tom bleecker
Divine episode. The amount of information here is superb.
Thank you, to both of you.
Thank you!
Thank you! Enjoyed this very much.
You’re welcome!
Thank you to bring John Little, I love to teach from him about Bruce Lee.
You’re welcome
Loved it, great interview with good info.
Thank you!
Bought John’s books first year of uni in 2000 changed my workouts
Awesome
The was fantastic, loved the Golden Harvest music & opening.
Thank you so much!
Great Episode My friend. Its always good to hear from John Little. Very informative.
Thank you!
Awesome video very interesting John Little is very knowledgeable. Loved watching this.
I thought I was alone until I found this channel !!! Keep up the good work !!! 💪🏽
You are not alone, I am here with you
Excellent interview!
Thank you!
Really cool segment. Love John Little!
Me too!
YES! Excellent one!
Thank you!
Great vibes great interview/talk about Bruce Lee with a very knowledgeable person thanks for uploading this🙏🏾
Glad you enjoyed it
Another great episode
Thank you
Wow!! And incredible!!
Interesting interview , after this weeks revelations , might be good to redo the interview with the new knowledge of drugs being involved and the effects on his training . 62 years old i have trained since 1974 Bruce was my biggest influence in martial arts . i have not kept up to date with Bruce for many years . But now i am doing more research with all the you tube and internet information . yes i was shocked about the drugs use.
I’ve talk to John about this since the revelations came out. It doesn’t change much except explain the loss of interstitial water weight and lower body fat percentage more. Besides that, nothing really changes much in this interview.
@@TheKungFuGenius thanks for the swift reply
I guess drugs enhance you in everything. Talk about saying no to drugs
@@TheKungFuGenius Can you share what was John's thoughts on recent revelations?
People with passion like this are never without joy 🤩 love it
Great stuff..👍
Bruce became more & more fascinated with body building & strength training I think, he was more conscious of his physique & aesthetics & was more & more shredded with each successive movie. His forearms was prominent & looked powerful like Stallone has....
Agreed
Stallone has said that he heavily focus on traps,forearms and other smaller muscles,because it makes him look bigger in movies.
This is amazing!
Thank you
Another great interview I actually watched and listen to the whole interview.
Finally I've come across non egotistical people who really care and appreciate Chinese Boxing , along with Fitness and health.
All of you keep up the great work also I'm from NYC born and raised studied Gung fu in NYC Chinatown back in the mid 80's worked for the Chinese cinemas the Rosemary theater.
I now live in Sydney, Australia.
I teach Bagua , Taichi and Wu Dang boxing.
My main teacher was Erle Montaigue when he was alive, another great human who knew plenty of information on internal Gung fu who shared and expressed everything he learnt.
Keep up all the great work and research.
Cheers
Sam
Thank you for commenting
@@TheKungFuGenius 🙏🏿😀 cheers
Great stuff! :)
I miss John. We used to hangout in LA...also with Ted. We took a full color set of slides in his garage with Bruce’s marcy machine. Good all times..Miss them much.
Thanks for commenting! I’ve enjoyed your books as well.
@@TheKungFuGenius Thank you for doing a great job and keeping Bruce's Legacy alive. A lot is unknown...and I mean good things...his philosophical approach to MA and life itself. He was the blueprint for many....including me. Thank you again for your work. Please give my best to John (we lost contact...I am still in LA) ...right now I am looking a some photos of us with the marcy Machine...:) Best. JF
@@josefraguas2768 R.I.P ted super cool dude never met hime but I really like how he contributed to JKD.
Thanx!
Awesome!
Thank you!
I believe Bruce kept a number of training methods to himself,
like a Master artist would...
Danny Isanto said Bruce did that he train differently when he trained his students as to when he and danny trained privately he did other things
@@bernardwilliams4071 Absolutely! There were fundamental
aspects of Lee's JKD---and there were the more advanced
elements that most his students weren't ready for.
@@axelstone3131And that is true of ALL Superior Martial Artists, I
believe.
Very informative. Glad that Beerdy's "I trained like Bruce Lee for a year" nonsense was dismissed.
Dr. Mark Cheng told me that Dan Inosanto said Bruce actually did use that "kettlebell" contraption to do swings.
He wasn't doing hard style, but it sounded like Bruce was doing the pendulum swing used in kettlebell sport.
We had the conversation on Facebook a few years ago, but I don't remember if it was on Doc's personal profile or his fan page.
Thanks for you comments! Doc is The Godfather of my eldest daughter and was the inspiration for that question!
Beerdy is a fake Bruce Lee fan. He used to make gaming videos but made one Bruce Lee video that went viral and he stuck with that. A lot of his videos are stolen and some have false information.
Very intelligent conversation.
Thank you
Finding the right combination workout!!
That’s what’s up
Thank god for this interview im cancelling the good morning work out what done his back inn!!i do think thats a dangerous work out move thanks for the great info.john little thank u for preserving bruce legacy your books the best .ive been studying jkd 7 years martial arts 24 years bruce lee saved me from a life on drugs give me a reason to keep on learning and being a better person i will make sure i do my part to keep this going
And since so many Americans today are so convinced by this "bigger is always better" arguement: In answer to the question if Lee could beat the Hulk since it's brought up by fans. The late Sigung Richard Bustillo had Bruce's grip machine. Lou Ferrigno (The Hulk in the TV show) could not squeeze the same weight as Bruce did. Lou said, "I can pick up the weights, but I can't grip them." So Lee wasnt stronger as The Hulk or could beat him, but he had a stronger grip as Ferrigno.
Lou Ferrigno: 6'5"/ 195 cm | 285-295 lbs / 129-133 kg
Bruce/Junfan[Jun-fan] Lee: 5'7.5 / 172cm | 135-145 lbs / 61-65 kg
I love when people tell me about what Americans are like
Of course not all, thats why i wrote "many", but usually they like the biggest cars, the biggest buildings, and the population is in general overweight. (PS: Not you Alex, you are ripped and in good shape 🙂). So if it came across like some kind of "insult", then sorry, i didnt want that! 🙂
Haha, no, I don't get insulted easily whether directly or indirectly (like me being American). I just thought it was funny stating that the "bigger is always better" mentality as uniquely American as if the fear of/worship of/deference to size were not clearly part of our human species. America has a thick skin which is why its easy to pile any ill or insult onto our country without us freaking out. I once sat in the home of a Tunisian gentleman who explained to me (for one hour) exactly what Americans were like (he didn't know I was American because I spoke German). It's fascinating.
Thats a funny story with the Tunisian :). But cool your German is so good that people think you are German. Dann könnte ich ja auch auf Deutsch hier schreiben, but it's ok to me to stick with english because i am sure most of your viewers cant speak german. But this "bigger is better" thing has a long history. Did you ever see the 1987 classic "RoboCop" directed by Paul Verhoeven starring Peter Weller? This movie was the way how a dutchman (Verhoeven) sees America. The movie isnt just a thriller, action and sci-fi, its also a satire on America. There is this funny commercial with a dinosaur walking in an american city with the skyscrapers, and suddenly a big car emerges, bigger as the dino and the buildings. The buttom line is Americans would love to have cars as big as skycrapers, which are eating much gasoline. :D
I treasure that book!!
Oh hell yes
Thank you
Not gonna lie..I enjoy every one of your podcasts. On a side note, I wish you would review old kung fu movies.
Thank you!
Would love to see this!
Great interview as always! Do you know: Is john little still practising martial arts? I am just curious!
If you haven't seen this then you must see this since Dan talks about how devastating of a fighter Bruce Lee really was and talks a lot about wing chun: ruclips.net/video/-vCpCxBQVpk/видео.html. Perhaps you can do a show breaking this down for us, especially the part about Bruce's first hand, second hand, third hand etc.
Believe it or not, I have seen this.
@@TheKungFuGenius lol everyone has seen it
MORE PLEASE, TNX!!
Thank you!
@@TheKungFuGenius AMAZING STUFF ,MAN!! Someday speak about the Elvis Presley and Bob Wall fake photos!
My opinion regarding his low rep range is that he was training for strength and not size. If you want size, you would move to 8+ rep range. He didn't want size as it would hinder his movement / speed in martial arts.
Wow, that's a fascinating story & facts on Bruce. I didn't know he was depleted down to only 120lbs when most shredded & at his death, yeah I certainly believe when he at his most peeled his body didn't begin to catabolized itself & all his muscles suddenly atrophied away to nothing as he already had good muscle mass & wasn't intentionally cutting.
I wouldn’t say his muscles atrophier much until about the last two weeks of his life, but he definitely had little interstitial water and almost no fat.
@@axelstone3131 i thought that too, why do you think he looked that way on the fight vs chuck?
you know it was that bruce had a nervous twitch but after hearing this and john mentions it that loss of potassium was possible and that might explain that twitch
My experience with potassium deficiencies are calf cramps and twitches, not facial ones. Could have been his cocaine use.
Friends was so real back then.Now hyou lucky to have a real friend.Respect!! RIP Bruce Lee King of it
22:15 Isometric good mornings are an option, and/or seated good mornings, and one-legged good mornings
Great video! I have that book, it´s awesome! Looking forward to the next video with John Little. Greetings from germany :-)
LG aus New York!
@@TheKungFuGenius Ich bin mittlerweile ein richtiger Fan deines Channels. Vor allem, wenn es um Bruce Lee geht :-)
Mach weiter so!
@@TheKungFuGenius du kannst deutsch? 😊
@@rademarinkovic4582 natürlich kann ich deutsch sprechen! (aber schreiben ist ein bisschen schwierig für mich). Mein Vater kommt aus Berlin aber ich bin hier in Amerika aufgewachsen.
@@TheKungFuGenius ich finds großartig ❤
Bruce was strong af thanks john
Like you always say KFG, "TYLER DURDEN SAID, " the things you own end up owning you" --Fight Club. KFG, thanks for enlightening me to that!!
Bruce had all the equipment back in the day.
Pretty solid set up he had
I firmly believe, if someone could have gotten Bruce off the
Cocaine----he would've been alright.
I think so too
@@axelstone3131 Put it THIS way---it sure as HE** wouldn't have hurt!
@@axelstone3131 I've wondered about that; How could she NOT
know?
very very interesting.
I found it interesting as well!
Bruce's body was in no way in "better" condition at the time of "Enter the Dragon". I would say his healthiest body composition was around filming "The Way of the Dragon". He was drained and much too skinny before his death and that was probably a factor leading to his health issues
Overtraining with not enough nutrition
@@BluBlu111 also constant use of cortisone shots,the humidty of hong kung,and then there was the coke use
bruce actually still looked super ripped in enter the dragon like the cave scene and on some of the on set photos but on some scenes he lost muscle mass.
Thanks for the tip.
Think about it daily training, weights, repeated fight choreography, retakes of fight scenes...is there any wonder he lost bodyweight during Enter the Dragon
@@josephperkins4080 it was mainly during the sammo hung fight u could see he lost weight
If possible in the 1st place, a standing 130 lb man holding a 75 lb barbell w/arms fully-extended horizontally@shoulder-height would need to be strapped to the wall to not fall.
Agreed
I have been doing wing Cheung for 35 years and counting
Enjoy listening to these. Will you have Mr Little on your podcast again?
That's the plan!
I love talking Bruce Lee
Mr little you have large knowledge and experience ❤it
it's too bad that bruce lee didn't like swimming.
excellent cardio there that's low impact.
Great advice for anyone to follow! Now that I am older (39) and have had many serious injuries that I’ve recovered from, although never the same as before…and I’m now recovering from a broken foot, that swimming is the best option for me, and possibly the only way for me to get some physical shape back, and endurance to continue to practice the Art I’ve done since I was a child, and honestly know no other lifestyle than to continually challenge myself, in all ways possible.
I'm so glad I'm NOT the only 1 recognize the physical comparison of the 70's 80's 🥊 prizefighters to Bruce. Even Boxer Manny Pacquiao & Floyd Mayweather jr. had Bruce Lee like figure. Sifu Alex , I no longer feel like an islander ( Get it 😅? Along on an 🏝️?)
There's a much better way to apply that back excercise; We all
know it. You can do it at a local gym. You know, the one where
you're lying on your belly, on a soft bench surface, your lower
legs are "Locked in" so they cannot move---and from there you
simply 'raise' your torso up, with your hands behind the neck.
This is infinitely more advisable than using a barbell positioned
on your shoulders. Even Bruce made a mistake now and then
while he was learning.
You’re absolutely correct, lots of great exercises and better equipment to improve lower back strength these days. Good mornings just seem like a bad idea all around
@@TheKungFuGenius Indeed.
Hyperextensions Dorian Yates did those consistently with Romanian deadlifts
@@anthonyurso9366 Indeed!
Had to come back to these episodes with his new book coming out! Paper tiger my ass 🤜
@TheKungFuGenius: In a recent Podcast you recommended a Cantonese language study program on Spotify. Which one is it? Thanks
Learn and Actually Speak Cantonese on Spotify
@@TheKungFuGenius 多謝
The many who try to down grade Bruce with made up stories is because these are the same time of people who questioned him when he was alive and then after he demonstrated himself they were in hook line and sinker. But Bruce is not here to show them and there is no footage of any of his real fights. But we know the truth.
Did John Little write in 1998's "The Art of Expressing the Human Body" that the price of the Marcy Circuit trainer Bruce Lee paid for was $500 - or was $500 just the initial deposit required to hold it for him before shipping it to HK? Doing the math, $500 in '73 isn't that bad for the price of an entire home gym system. Adjusted for inflation, I paid more than that for my bowflex home gym.
You’re right, that’s not too bad!
This is John Little? I have his books about The Tao of Wing Chun & Bruce Lee's The Art of Expression The Human Body! BOTH Great Books I would recommend to a W.C. or B.L. enthusiastic person who wants to improve their physical being.
You forgot to ask him about Bruce famous Dragon Flies stallone made it popular from Rocky 4 everyone wanted to do it even me I can do them.
Good news - I talk about them in an upcoming segment where I break down the training montage in Rocky IV with a sport scientist. Coming soon!
Wow!! ❤️ 👍👏
Thank you for commenting
@@TheKungFuGenius Its a pleasure, dawg.
The picture of 1968 is with George Anderson from USA Karate.
Damn the water weight thing was the real bombshell here lol.
Yeah, I really fell for thinking that he was bigger in Hong Kong as opposed to just being leaner
Yea I remember even Greg Doucette did a video on whether or not Bruce took anabolic forgot what his ultimate choice was but I do remmeber like everyone else him mentioning Bruce getting better physically after his back injury.
I wonder if Mito ever came clean how Bruce made him hold a focus mitt and dislocated his shoulder with a side kick for saying something smart assed. The way Bruce was doing the good morning was not typical when he was injured. He arched his back as if trying to flip someone over his shoulders.
That makes sense
Thanks for all the insider information. What was it like actually being there?
Knees Over Toes guy is a big proponent of Good Mornings
Let him do all the good mornings then
100 push ups, 2 snorts of coke, 100 sit ups, 2 magic mushrooms.
Any chance of getting an interview with John regarding the recent drugs and getting his feedback?
Tony
👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
I’ve discussed this with them, and there’s not really a whole lot that changes about this interview. It explains the loss of body fat and interstitial water wait a little bit better. I don’t think we really want to revisit this topic after our heavy private discussions this week. John was part of the live chat, and you can turn on the live chat while watching this video to see what we said.
@@TheKungFuGenius
Hi there,
Have you spoken to John since the letters have come out?
What's his opinion on it all?
Many thanks.
👍👍
@@antonysmith6457 did you read my comment?
@@TheKungFuGenius
Yep,
First time I've used live chat, so I'll watch it again later.
Many thanks 👍👍
More dad jokes! And Bruce Lee workout facts!
I need to write them down, I always forget the jokes.
The genius on the Juice? Ned Flanders? Naw man. It's all Chicken, Rice, Broccoli and bible prayers baby.
That’s the truth
Sifu Alex ,I tell you a story about a former co-worker in U.S. Postal Service Kevin Foles! Mr. Little is right que about be blessed with certain muscle developments. Kevin had IN MASSIVE Forearms , he's like a human praying mantis!! VERY similar to Bruce's , Kevin didn't have a commitment to excise. His forearms like 2 ⚾ Bats connected to his elbows!! I used to envy & marvel at his arms wishing I had Arms like his. His had an average to medium build frame. I told him if he knew how to 👊 properly he could do damage to an opponent. I used to call him Popeye , the Sailor Man 😅
I am trying to but that same work out equipment for my self too I saw one before and asked the ownerr if he will sell it to me he never gave me an answer
Wish there were timestamps
What would a book that Bruce Lee Drew be worth?
Like the first video with Little this was amazing again! Cant wait when he will be there a 3rd time again.
Something about Gene LeBell since this story is so much in the talk these days:
In an other podcast here on YT with Lawrence Rosenberg, Little stated (between minute 51-52) he wanted to fact check LeBells claims about taking Lee over his shoulder multiple times, but he always came up empty handed.
LeBell doesnt like to confirm his stories when is directly asked. MMA reporter Ariel Helwani also asked him about his choke out of Steven Seagal, but he was scared to confirm it and avoided a straight answer. Helwani later interviewed Seagal and Steven answered about the claim: "If he really said that, then he is a scumbag liar!" And Seagal had a witness named Conrad Palmissano, a legendary Hollywood stuntman and former vietnam veteran.
Years later (2021) stutnman Steven Lambert exposed LeBell as liar about the Seagal incident. And Seagal says about LeBell to his day:
"He made his whole career in lying about who he beat up. He beat me up, he chocked me out, he beat up Bruce Lee, he choked out Bruce Lee, he beat up the footballer Jim Brown, then he killed someone and had to go into hiding, i mean the guy is a pathological liar. I promise you he never beat up Lee or Brown!"
PS: Seagal is a pathological liar too "I knew Bruce Lee personally". But in this case his words seems to be true.
Neither the star of The Green Hornet, Van Williams, or the stunt coordiantor Bennie E. Dobbins, ever made a statement about this LeBell-Lee incident took actually place, and they were there 24/7.
And both of them also never said something like "LeBell was brought in to teach Lee respect" or "to settle him down".
You would have to pay me a lot of money to care about what Gene LeBelle says about Bruce Lee.
The sacral-lumbal injury to his back is common sense knowledge when one don't gradually and pre-prepared, if this part of body is forced to train or exert or work heavily and intensely.
That how you stumbled upon the drug letters !
Why are you using Shaw Brothers insignia?
Because if they stole it from Warner Brothers, then I can steal it from them.
Mr. Richter...Good interview...As an aside...what happened to Mito Uyehara?...Is he still alive?...Please find out and answer...Thank you...
No idea, I assume Mito passed away.
@@TheKungFuGenius Can you ask John Little ?
I feel like a secretary
@@TheKungFuGenius LOL...No offense...Sorry...But look at it this way...He is the the one that has not done, to my knowledge, a publicly videotaped Bruce Lee interview...If alive...you may become an even , " GREATER KUNG FU GENIUS INTERVIEWER ! " Either way...KEEP UP HE GREAT WORK..AS YOU ARE FAIR AND BALANCED ...
Have a Nice Day !
Thank you! I was just joking too.
Now after hearing about the letters that Little saw throughout the years till his death, how was his writing style vs the writing style towards his drug letters. Close to the end with the drug letters cycle, his writing was not looking realistic especially closer to the end when the coc/coke cola stuff he was requesting. Just looking at them kinda was skeptical cause it was out of character from all the other writings he did. Yes we can argue if he was going through stress and depression, but they almost started to look forged. I am just spectating this though. If John little had some form is his writings towards of end of Lee's cycle, like a cross reference when he started writing for the coke addiction and acid and sorts, was his writing sloppy then? I dunno just thinking or speculating, cause those scans could be just perjury or what not. I am not not fully dismissing it all together, but i am just saying. Anyways have a great day. Thanks for these videos, much appreciated :).
I have many original scans of his notes, including his more formalized ones and his very informal jotting and scribbles. All these letters are consistent with his more concentrated writing and his fast scribbles. Many people want to find some way to not believe these letters, but this is wishful thinking. Also many of the more salacious letters include the envelope and postmark. Finally, believing everything is a conspiracy is just as loony as believing everything you read.
@@TheKungFuGenius lol like I said, I was not dimissing it all together but just spectating. I mean its understandable because he did hang out with movie stars later in his life, and most of the braking point was when he starting having major back problems at least I believe. Still, doesn't make me see him from any different from what he accomplished by far. Still my idol. On that note, just because he is my idol, doesn't make me wanna do the stuff he did. I admire him for what's he accomplished, and no matter what people say about his ability and talents, there is no doubt in my mind that he was the greatest of his time. If he didn't go down that rabbit hole, and if tuned down on the drugs, I believe we could have seen him grow older and maybe see how him test his mettle against all them naysayers. It's too sad, and too early, but it makes more sense now why he left so early.
Most people started training because of Arnold but for me I started training at the age of ten years old because of Bruce though as far as weights it was Arnold but that was two years later at age twelve.
Awesome!
