Quote: "Bruce Lee handles Joe Lewis and Chuck Norris almost as a parent would a young child."
In this video, Bruce Lee says,
"In The Sports Week of the Washington Star printed in Washington, D.C. on August 16, 1970, quote, three of Bruce Lee's pupils, Joe Lewis, Chuck Norris and Mike Stone have between them won every major karate tournament in the United States.
Joe Lewis was grand national champion three successive years, Bruce Lee handles and instructs these guys almost as a parent would a young child, which can be somewhat disconcerting to watch.
It's like walking into a saloon in the Old West and seeing the fastest guy in the territory, standing there with notches on over his gun
Then in walks a pleasant little fellow who said, 'How many times do I have to tell you you are doing it all wrong?' And the other guy listened intently, unquote."

Yes , you have it straight, Chuck Norris, MikecStone, Joe Lewis were all Bruce's students not equals. No one was Mentally or Physically head and shoulders above the rest. RIP MASTER🙏🙏🙏
I am impressed you posted this seeing you were one of Lewis’ top students. I guess you see now that Lewis, Norris, Wall weren’t as forthright about how good Lee was since their egos were too big to admit that a little guy was a world class martial artist who could fight, being one of the best pound for pound martial arts athlete and fighter they’d ever seen.
How fortunate for Coburn, Steve McQueen, and all the others, to have experienced Lee "Up close and personal."
I did also my instructor Preston Baker from Chicago used to work out with Bruce Lee often
Jim Kelly said Bruce Lee was untouchable, the greatest fighter, none of the karate champions he sparred with came close to his level.
Don't take Jim too seriously on that. He was different off camera. His stories tend to change depending on the dollar amount.
He was one of the very best and first superhero types. As far as everything else, reality and fighting and so forth, was more of a creation than what many make out to be in these videos
@@shihanUKS lol when he said that he was hella old. i don't think he cares about money at that point
@@youngnguyen2012 Most of the prominent martial artists of the time had mixed things to say about Bruce. To be fair, I never heard Kelly say anything negative, but he also never named names.
@@stevo62ful true but it was nowhere near of anything negative but when it comes to martial art, mainly he was hella strong and FAST. I’ll listen to the likes of his students, Pat Burleson, Hayward Nishioka, Jihn Little investigation, etc. I couldn’t take Gene Lebell, like u siad about Kelly, just stories changes.
As much as I grieve his early death, I still feel so fortunate to have seen his movies right before he passed away . The experience of watching his movies CAN NEVER BE EQUALED EVER . There is absolutely no other actor who can bring that kind of excitement and euphoria . NOBODY.
what movies of his did you see before he passed?
@@uncletony6210 I live before bruce
Bruce gee
@@uncletony6210 To be fair there wasn't that many of them. Enter the Dragon was a big step up in terms of quality and Game of Death probably would have been as well. I have reservations on how great he was as a real life fighter but there's no denying his cult status. Ironic how Steve McQueen said to Bruce "I like you, but I won't hep you become star off my name", then Bruce went on to become a bigger name than McQueen
@@stevo62ful Yeah, Big Boss was a 100x better than EtD, in my opinion. The former had a good story, an excellent score, and great acting by Bruce. The latter was a comic book. In fact, didn't Jim Kelley say that at some point in the movie?
A true loss! Not to mention all the movies he would have made…imagine that!!? He was in his prime!! Too sad, I think his son’s passing really hit me as well, I wished him success but cut short.
Bruce legend forever!
Lee's influence on these men ( and more) was profound!
Bruce was a nice person, of course, he wouldn't take any crap from anyone, but what an excellent teacher, wish I could have been one of his students, R.I.P Bruce.
Bruce was genius the inspiration A true martial artist ahead of time R I. P 💪♥️♥️♥️♥️🇨🇺🇺🇸🙏
The first human to reach ultra instinct.. R.I.P legend 🔥 🔥
"ULTRA INSTINCT." Yes---That is the BEST way to Express what he became.
What I wouldn't give to have spent a day picking Bruce's brain . I plan to visit him and Brandon in the near future . It's maybe 25 min away from me . Age 15 I did under the table work shining the brass inside shenanigans every night 2 am til 630am, then go home where I rented a room , and lift weights and read Jeet Kun Do . I was not a big kid . I truly believe some of his words helped me through a tough spot in my life .
I too have yet to visit the gravesite, and I'm only 35 min. away.
Bruce Lee knew the truth would speak for itself over time
🙂
Bruce Lee s greatness is self-evident.
this is the BEST video a simple man destroys the ego of the champs.
It's so interesting to watch these video's about Bruce Lee, there was definitely something about him that makes you feel your watching the greatest there ever was and i really always knew he was even when i was a kid watching him in the green hornet and all his movies, it looked back then like CGI looks today but he was really doing it you almost thought they gotta be speeding the film up or something because nobody could possibly be that fast and quick at everything he did im still amazed when i watch him because i know man this guy is the best of the best and especially the more of these videos i watch where you have some real legends that actually trained with Bruce, when your watching Bruce Lee you are with out a doubt watching the greatest martial artist in history.
Cgi sucks! No offense. I still and always will prefer real people fighting and acting.
I read the quote a long time ago in a martial arts magazine but didn't know where it came from and to hear Bruce Lee repeat it is just too cool. It makes you think his entire life is on film and audio somewhere just waiting to turn up.
Bruce Lee used these videos for fight choreography, he also trained with top fighters so he could absorb other styles and at the same time was smart enough to use his vast love and knowledge of fighting to give pointers. I think the idea that Chuck and Joe were his students has been kinda of added on to the lore of all his celebrity students in Hollywood. We’re talking apples and oranges in that scenario. These guys were also instructors and competing pro athletes. Bruce created a commune of fighters , and his energy and the environment he created was intoxicating.
@tonewop They became and were his private students. He help them elevate their game. He revealed that in the video. Bruce was on another level far beyond Chuck and Joe. He was their teacher.
Except it wasn’t about accumulating styles. Many people don’t seem to underhand this. Knowing all these different systems isn’t what made him great.
@@deepthoughts1739 chuck never admitted watch chuck interview I was a professional fighter and Bruce he was good that’s about it lol chuck
Research more. Joe had quite. Unreal record after he spent time training with Lee. BELIEVE. I have done point fighting and guess what? Chuck is not even a fighter is what Bruce told Dan Inasanto. He said Joe was. These guys were students. Get over it. Jim Kelly admitted he took down everyone in sparring. He said he could not be beat. If you even have any martial Arts knowledge guess what. The footage says a lot thats out there. People who teach learn fron others to evolve teaching especially people better than they were. Best believe
@lol U Well, there's alot of testimonial accounts from people WHO SPENT TIME WITH BRUCE. According to William Cheung, Chuck Norris did went at it full contact against Bruce, and Bruce beat him badly, red face. Chuck Norris in all his interview appearances he would always say, "Well, I was a world champion". Yah in point karate. Chuck never mentions to the public the other side of him, the disrespectful side towards Bruce. He lied couple of times about Bruce and was caught and had to give apology letter to Bruce. Norris also even acknowledged Bruce was superior and acknowledged Bruce was the teacher.
The greatest martial artist of all times we miss you master Bruce Lee may your soul rest in peace and the for Brandon Bruce Lee miss you too
Love the old James coburn interview
Always enjoy James Coburns sincere comments on Bruce. The things said came as his take on Bruce and his approach to martial arts as opposed to the martial artist he was.
Joe Lewis was Bruce's first choice for the role of Colt in Way of the Dragon.
But Lewis arrogance didn't allow him to be one, he simply didn't want to be defeated by Lee and even said he can kick Lee ass in real life. That's how big his arrogance was
@@tiktokviral6819 Lewis would have killed Lee , Lewis was legit as a fighter Lee was an actor
@@BAKEDPOTATOLARDYASS saying that after denied the true that he and Chuck was Bruce students? but Lewis did admitted it anyway except Chuck
@@tiktokviral6819 They we’re already established martial artists & they hooked up with Lee because of his show business connections & he hooked up with them to get recognition as a trainer
Joe Lewis said that he never saw a guy faster than Bruce. He also said that Bruce kicked very hard and especially to his size Bruce was really strong. Light like a feather and strong like a heavyweight. You cant say Joe Lewis would win because Bruce was really good for a none pro fighter. Bruce was a real Fighter, he trained for real Fight. Just watch the Channel here from "Beerdy"! Watch also what all they says about how great Bruce was! Norris was a point Fighter, thats nothing. Bruce hated that rule combat Sport.
So many people are misinformed or uninformed about Bruce Lee and think he was just an actor and had no clue how to fight. When in reality, everything he did and trained for all of his adult life was too take a man out in a life or death situation as fast as possible with the least amount of energy (mental & physical) used. His goal was to train himself to the point that his mental & physical body would automatically do what was necessary in any real life combative situation to control 100% of what happens! If you have ever been in a "real fight" you know that fatigue (both mentally and physically) will take over very fast. I'm not talking about pro boxing or even MMA. I mean when the other person wants to hurt you bad for whatever reason. Maybe it is a woman, a family matter, or they committed a crime against you. These are the times you have to be prepared and that's when it becomes a battle of attrition, decision making, and sometimes it will literally be "life & death" ! I had someone who came to my house and broke all my car windows with a steel pipe in middle of the night during a snow storm (I'm from Wisconsin). I happened to be up and watching TV right by the front window as it happened. My adrenaline kicked in and I grabbed a golf iron and realized I needed to calm down because I was so mad and wanted to get this man so bad I almost started hyperventilating. I've been in a few real fights before, but this was something I NEVER experienced. When someone is threatening your home, property, or family you need to stay as calm as possible and let your training take over. That is so important, and I can't stress this enough! The worst thing you can do is let your emotions take over. You need to do whatever is necessary to eliminate the threat without putting you or your loved ones in harms way! What finally happened is I had my fiance call 911 while I chased this man. He got away (luckily he didn't have a gun!) and the police arrived while I still had the golf iron in my hand, standing next to car in pajamas. The police pointed their guns at me and were gonna shoot! Thank God I dropped the iron and layed in the snow! The officer told me he would've shot had I not complied. My point is every situation is different and you have to be ready and use your best judgment in every situation. Things can escalate from 0 to 100 in a split second and you must keep your wits about you, otherwise, you could be seriously injured or killed if you do not stay calm and let your training take over!
Só nos resta saudades desses momentos impar com o Mestre Bruce Lee 👏
Love all backyard training videos of Bruce , a side many never got see of him , and the music was great
Lee had long legs...he would be able to kick anyone at any angle in the head
It's a James Coburn taking lessons from B.L.
And Steve McQueen too! 😉☯️
Taky Kimura Bruce Lee's 5th student in Seattle Washington ran his school. Best man at Linda and Bruce's wedding. Was supposed to be the praying mantis man in the game of death. Had a handwritten letter from Bruce talking about Mike Stone Joe Lewis and Chuck Norris all coming to him to learn. They were his students not his peers. Not only did I find this letter cleaning up his house but the plane ticket that he was supposed to use $928 first class Hong Kong via. Hawaii because you couldn't fly direct Pan American plane ticket watch the beginning of enter the Dragon you'll see Jim Kelly kicking the crap out of the two racist cops and they tell him he's not going to Hawaii. Takis plane ticket was in the Bruce Lee museum in Seattle at the wing luck museum the one I found, and gave back to Taky
Nice snapshot of history there. Taky was a nice guy. A radio voice. So was his son. He would talk with you if you did your homework and wasn't too starstruck. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for uploading.
Master Bruce Lee you're the best,, this amazing video you will hear master Bruce Lee sending a message to two of his amazing students and friends. 🙏🤗
Bruce Lee had to really Take it easy on his Celebrity Students !!! I'm sure he helped them a lot !!!!
Just by watching James Coburn jabs they are fast and fluid, not those slow fake punches of old western movies (not dissing western as a genre, I love westerns, but some of the old american fight scenes looked fake).
Id take it slowwww as well. He made money off of them..per hour!!!
@@robd1329 Do you mean, like any other martial arts teacher?

Bruce lee était le meilleur !!!!une légende des arts martiaux !!!!pour l'éternité !!!!toute ma jeunesses !!!!
It would have been so awesome to have met Bruce Lee. I was born June of 1973. That is one dream that will never come true.
Jim coburn doin really well here this is the longest home film iv seen on bruce
Bruce lee is special always was and always will be ALMIGHTY KING DEUS BLESS HIS LIFE
Era professor e realmente um mestre em Kung-fu
Nice bit of Wing Chun there😃
Man i would of loved to see Benny the jet fight Bruce Lee i think it would of been a very good 👍 fight back then
He kicks that bag so hard.
Gracias
Bruce Lee was the first fitness youtuber.
Turns out Bruce's original story for the KungFu series was even better in the Warrior series shown in Cinemax.
Basics of true Street fight! , which most smart kids knew in those days!
Отличные удары!
Although actors James Coburn (that's him in the video getting a kicking lesson) and Steve McQueen were Bruce Lee's students, I believe Joe Lewis (RIP), Mike Stone and Chuck Norris can be described more as martial art peers, sharing ideas and technique.
Yeah the way he describes them sounds a just as bit belittling
@@tyroncline5978 Well, he is just reading an article.
That's weird because after working withem they adopted his Jeet Kune Do, methods, theories and principles and he... kept on doing Jeet kune do, adopted no Shorin Ryu, or Tang Soo Do. He didn't start fighting power sid eback or front hand blocking. it was a one way exchange. Bruce Lee taught them.
@@deejin25 I heard none of them used JKD in their matches. Whether or not that's true, I don't know.
Bruce Lee My real bless you Jerry
If, he still alive...just imagine
Yeah, imagine a nearly 81 year old man. 😉
I would need to see that in print to believe it. I do know that Lee said that Mike Stone was one of the two fighters he would never want to meet in an alley. The other being Jim Harrison.
Jim Harrison was my Sensei for six years, I second what Bruce said.
I live near St. Louis. Jim Harrison is a semi legend there in law enforcement. He won a bunch of real fights as an undercover building inspector, including against knife wielding opponents.
Mike Stone recalled an incident where he and a few guys were invited to strike some kung fu master ( not Bruce). They did, and it not make a dent on the guy. If I remember correctly, it was in the series 'The Way of the Warrior'. Apologies if I can't recall correctly.
@@Billy-Mandalay No problem. Actually, I appreciate your nice attitude very much. Best!
@11:36 "Bonney you are a fool! You call yourself the scourge of New Mexico but by God, I am New Mexico!"
You know Chuck never admits that he was Bruce Lee students. Someone need tell Chuck that it’s okay to be Bruce Lee student.
Nobody is legend if is not good
Whoa like what, where is he reading this from, that's Bruce, I mean how is he reading what is written in the paper, what was this audio from?
What year was this?
Don't cry for Bruce Lee,he died being the legend that he was and is now the eternal BRUCE LEE. Not a bad deal from my point of view.
..trust me. All the fame in the world is not worth your soul. Lee is regretting it now. He was an open atheist saying he had no time for that...meaning god. Their is only 1 path to heaven and that is through Jesus. If you dont ask him for forgivness now..he wont forgive you when your dead. What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Matthew 16:26
the title of the video doesn't match the video? I know what video that quote is from though.
Never fought nobody.
Pity no footage of Bruce kicking the very big bag
That is James Coburn not Joe Lewis LMAO.
In the grand scheme of things martial arts is insignificant and trivial
Amazing footage! The piano music not so much, unnerving at times. Bruce lee needs some powerful music to his footage.
Well, I see it as a nostalgic music for a time that is gone and will never come back.
I feel It's an interesting tune Apealing to The nostálgia. A Very sweet melody. It almost reminds me those old movies from Charley Brown , Snoopy and his gang
Draven what is your avatar from¿
It's easy to be a arm chair general. Look Bruce trained with one of the greatest martial artist's in history. To make comments about his fighting ability is nonsense especially the comment that he was defeated by some black belts at Chuck Norris studio. People get real anybody can be defeated but not by anyone living in Bruce's time .
Nobody still couldn't beat Bruce today in his prime. Bruce is legend best marital artists in world.
@@brianpearson8106 We don't know that. None of us have seen a real fight of his. We can only speculate.
Well anybody can speculate anything but my speculation is what I said Bruce Lee was the best and still was the best or would have still been the best today he was too fast I love Chuck Norris but Bruce Lee brought the martial arts in America back then there was only American karate there was no kung fu there was no taekwondo or anything like that back then I don't believe not in USA.
@@brianpearson8106 @Brian Pearson there is where fans want to believe BLee nearly created Martial Arts or MMA 1) American used to call Karate to nearly every Martial Arts, my guess is because karate was well established so they took it as easy name and easy to sell and ran with it They basically called : Korean Karate to TKD. TSD, HKD etc Norris was a HapKiDo instructor still everyone said he was a karate master. Chinese karate styles as Chinese kempo and some complicated named kung fu styles. Even Ed parker marketed his Chinese style kempo as Chinese karate to later create his own style. And of course karate to nearly any coming from Japan (except Ninjutsu as those mythical warriors have their own rules) but even so we all seen a giant misconception on many American movies , ninjas using Katanas, or butterfly swords, karatekas using kung fu weapons on their Dojo, kung fu fighters using nunchucks, back then general public didn't knew much about MA, so many did got away with things that nowadays can be disprove quickly thanks to having internet access. Kung fu , as well as Tai Chi was being practiced in USA even before Lee was born and knows by real Martial Artist before Lee arrived, but unlike other arts it was bit protected from westerners and usually practiced by co local and Asian community ( their kwoon usually where located in or near Chinatown) on many countries the older kung fu school usually is located in Chinatown, where most of the western public wouldn't usually go because it was dimmed of low or too risky area. Basically because the language barrier and the fact that back then was common for instructors to have a non related job on the side. Is ok to be fan, but same as religion when it become blind fanatism is when it becomes wrong and even negative. And about Lee creating MMA or its bases is not real You only need to google Vale Tudo , it's a Brazilian art which basically mixed Martial Arts since 1920 , in america was also know as NHB (No Hold Barriers or some like it) also known back then. Full contact was already used in karate as Kyokushin original rules was with full punch and elbow to face, but later changed to light contact, Gloves and punch elbow to face are not allowed. I admire some things about Lee, but i am more realistic about who and why a person should be admired and treated as an overall icon, and that of course includes how such person interact with the rest and how he lives his personal life (and we all know the other side about Lee) but seems most fans chosen to ignore and or take it as not a big deal. Lee arrived in America in 1959, but by then since 1952 Mas Oyama toured America fighting many styles and bulls as a way to advertise his Martial Art, there where news papers , videos and tv reports about him. I think is clear that America already had a massive share of many Martial Arts well stablish before Lee arrived on 1959. What lee did (thanks to his movie exposition and movie producers paying for his appearance on tv and championships) is to bring showmanship to a country that was natural on money making about everything. So another ascending movie was more than welcomed. Lee was ahead of his time for general western public. They welcomed and swallow his image and some assumed everything he said and did was his original creation. To easterners there was no much new about Lee, same style of Martial Arts movies has been produced before Lee's and his physical demonstrations where not new either, 2 fingers and 1 finger push ups are not new or unknown on many MartialArts styles as they are part of training for fingers attack and grappling techniques (most Martial Arts for westerners specially USA where softened down to be more appealing to the local market and that was admitted and said by first American masters). And "his philosophy " was well recognised as mostly taken off TaoTheChing, Zen and other ancient and very popular schools of thought. But of course Asian movie industry jump on the back of Lee's fame and suddenly we got blessed with a wave of old movies (poorly dubbed, which becamepart of the attractive) and later on new ones with a more refined and westerner oriented mentality and morals, with strangely heaps of look alike and similar name main actors, the most famous was Bruce Lei, he was indeed the most look alike, and many movies used same take and overexagerated displays and moves. Win win for business ,general public (more movies to enjoy) and Martial Arts community attracting more practicants 👍👍 But also created a wave of over inflated ranks, grades and names and fakes, and was the beginning of new styles schoold of fakes, unfortunately that left till now a dark mark on Martial Arts society. But thanks to Internet most now are being exposed, unfortunately new fake ones keep popping up nowadays looking to cash out or get noticed. Back then many used Lee's fame to aid their own enterprises (included some dodgy characters), that's why we hear mythological stories about Lee, after all none of them would tell openly about Lee's addictions and problems because it will affect negative on their own careers, so bets to fabricate positive fantasies and be loved for Lee's fans and get media attention towards myself or my business than say something that can ostracise them from what is their livelihood. Of course many western movies back then didn't really put too much effort to stick close to the real thing (imagery and cultural side of the styles) and we had Ninjas with katanas and wearing hakamas, karatekas with butterfly knifes, KungFu fighters with nunchucks, and terrible poor techniques and fighting scenes that we (practitioners or any Combat sport or Martial Arts) know are as valid and logic as the final battle of Neo in Matrix or Rambo epic shoot outs. I drop a question to everyone one that replies or post here. How long and where you practicing JKD? And if other style ,why not JKD ? I've started my practice when i was 7 years, learn and taught 3 styles of Karate, also trained in kung Fu and got my hand on other styles (but not as serious training more of a random meeting with other instructors to share knowledge)and after over25 great years i had to stop , but this year will return and planning to go to my roots and add Tai Chi Chuan to valance my practice. I admire some things about Lee, he wasn't why i went into MA and as a grown up i learnt more about Lee and it put me on a crossroad with friends as i do have a more realistic aproach to BLee and his legacy .
Kung fu jitsu karate all different sorts of style of martial arts they're all beautiful martial arts their own style is amazing.
@00:50 Coburn is 6'2" Lee is standing right next to him face to face and seems like 5'10".... but I always thought he was average height of 5'8"?? Why is he so tall in here? His shoes are normal shoes and theyre both wearing shoes too, so thats equal
It's fascinating that Chuck Norris and Joe Lewis and Mike Stone were all three point karate champions in the age when they did not use protective equipment. And then that Joe Lewis was also champion of full contact kickboxing. Fascinating still that Norris trained world champion point fighters as well, like John Natividad and Howard Jackson, for examples. Bruce Lee never fought a point karate match, nor a full contact match, and I'm at a loss to think of anyone he trained who was a point karate or full contact champion. Yes, I'm sure Bruce Lee talked down to them.
Chuck Norris never fought full contact, plus he sucks.
@@jkdfighter4964 Your opinion sucks. However, you are correct, and I was wrong. Chuck Norris didn't fight full contact. I misremembered a movie I'd seen. I appreciate being able to correct my mistake. Bruce likewise didn't ever fight full contact. He also never point fought. He has no filmmof him even sparring others except for Dan Inosanto, his own student. The important thing to remember is that while Bruce Lee didn't step into any ring ever, none of his students won tournaments air full contact bouts either. Nor Dan Inosanto's for that matter. I'd love you or anyone to post claims and sources supporting those claims that I'm wrong about Lee and his legacy.
@@themaverickblackbelt8054 First of all I do JKD, it's hilarious to me when I see people glorify "point sparring" karate. And Bruce Lee was the first to show all these guys full contact back in 1967, when they were all point sparring. Truth is BL was sparring full contact way before. Yeah, he never fought professionally, I'll admit that. But he was leagues ahead of these guys. Not even Mike Stone I believe ever did full contact. Only Joe Lewis, in 1970, did the first American kickboxing full contact. And when he won the championship he accredited "the late great Bruce Lee" as father of American kickboxing. Dan Inosanto also sucks, Ted Wong sucks. There's a lot of bad JKD guys out there. In any case, Chuck Norris never truly fought. Anytime post 1970 was where full contact became a thing forreal. I do JKD, I'm one of the few who go around and spar thai boxers, mma guys, and even wrestlers, and boxers. Needless to say, I've had much success representing Bruce Lee's art. If I didn't give these guys a hard time, I would've quit JKD years ago.
Are u retarded? In this video it talks about how Bruce trained joe Lewis chuck Norris and Mike stone lol U deaf?
13:45....what is the name of that kick?
That is a side kick.

This first guy doesn't look like Chuck Norris. More like James Coburn.
Read the description. It's a quote from the "Washington Star" sports paper on August 1970.
@@AztecUnshaven One easily assumes a title is assoiated with a video...since Mr. Coburn is not mentioned , yet shown, I simply pointed out a faux pas should anyone think one equals 2.
@@MrFirstdance2000 But that's why the title starts off with the word "Quote", followed by quotation marks.
Bruc complet ♡
The surname Coburn is synonymous with “uncoordinated.”
Coburn, to me, though trying to give it his very Best----comes across looking like a Doof! Like people have said; "Bruce can teach the prin- ciples of JKD, but he cannot teach the sheer Greatness of his ability." Lee just had those 'Internal--Inbred Gifts' that not everyone has.
What is curious is that Chuck Norris has all these degrees in martial arts, no mentioning of Wing Chun, you went to Bruce Lee's house for 3 years, even though he does not admit it but he was a student of Bruce Lee, he must have taken up wing chun.
No, Its Actor James Coburn
much respect to coburn for the truth, unlike sellouts like chuck, lewis and few others. i mean come on chuck, you taught bruce how to kick? for real?
He was not saying he taught Bruce to high kick, he is saying he taught (or demonstrated) the value of high kicks in a real fight. Bruce thought they looked good in movies but ineffective in real combat.
That was not Joe Lewis....that was James Coburn!
Bruce reads an article one the passer that refers to Bruce training Lewis. It’s about 3 minutes in.
Of course. Lewis would be much better in shape and speed!!LOL

So, in this video, I don't believe Bruce Lee is teaching a private lesson to Joe Lewis, Mike Stone, or Chuck Norris. I would like to watch a video that shows Bruce Lee teaching (or sparring with) any of those 3 guys.

Bruce Lee can knocked out 700+ lbs… with his strong kick…Imagine that if that was only regular fighter…
Ora Bruce tira calci al vento
Bruce Lee was a great martial artist a teacher but a fighter?! maybe sparring mild sparring but never a fight on video, the money people make off this man that's been dead for so many years it's crazy and they're going to do it for 100 more years
That's not Joe Lewis
"Bruce Lee handles Joe Lewis and Chuck Norris almost as a parent would a young child." It's a habit of us instructors to do so. Mr. Lee was quite young and imature, though very intelligent. We should forgive him that little flaw.
What one may view as a flaw, others may see as an adult guiding a child. With wisdom, knowledge, experience, and most of all, patience. ...
@@fjb4932 Yeees. I am so an adult in guiding other adults in fighting. A very adult calling. Although most get over it as children... .
Lol
Because most KZhead channels still glorify Lee's memory when the letters he wrote to Bob Baker prove he was a drug addict? Are you ashamed to admit that the star was not so bright?
He was human not a GOD but even as a human he'd best the crap out of most people on this Earth! I've never seen images of Bruce Lee high on any drug from the amount of training he did I'm wondering when did he have time to get high? So do you think you could beat Bruce Lee sober or high is the real question?
True story is Chuck Norris beat Bruce in sparring match while they were training. Not to say Chuck was better but it happen. Bruce was one of the greatest.
They never got into real fighting. So from time to time he beat Bruce and vice-versa. They trained together and Chuck didn't have to pay any lesson fees but Joe had to pay the fees if am not mistaken!!
@@benkim2016 good point ! Bruce was a bad dude.
FAKE video
Chuck was a champion and actively still fighting. In reality he would kicked Bruce Lee’s ass !
No they actually fought, and Bruce touched him up, this was based on the accounts of William Cheung, Bruce Lees wing chun instructor under Ip Man, Jim Kelly spoke about their fight not giving Chuck Norris' name only referring to him beating The World Karate Champion, at which time Norris was!!!
@@traemorris394 I seen that man these cats think point fighters could beat no hold bar fighting martial artist like Bruce Lee with his speed and charisma, footwork Jim Kelly admitted no one could touch bruce lee
@@traemorris394 they never fought, Bruce avoided fighting.
@@cuzz63 Yes they did fight, this information is coming from a credible source who also knows more about Bruce Lees personal life than you!!!
@@antonioridah172 yea charisma wins....JIm Kelly never mentioned Bruce ever fighting anyone. why is that?
So much bullshit...Joe Lewis stated that Bruce never sparred with him nor did he ever see Bruce spar. He also stated Bruce was not a fighter. Certainly Bruce never fought anyone with any known skills.
That's not true, I've heard and watched a interview/video with JOE LEWIS AND HE SAID,WAS SAYING HOW STRONG BRUCE LEE WAS AND HOW FAST,THAT BL WOULD SPAR HEAVY WEIGHT FIGHTERS,HOW STRONG BL WAS.
@@craigbosko2229 he did mention how fast and how strong Bruce was..not in sparring though doing drills. Bruce didnt spar with any HW's or pro fighters. He also wasnt a proven fighter.
guess what. they won karate championship, not jeet kwun do or wing chun. their success has nothing to do with bruce lee. bruce lee is sick man of the world
👎👎👎
Bruce Lee is a Super fast Human
Chuck his son said my father can kill Bruce Lee on the street .
And you don't think Bruce Lee can't.
What a crock of Crap !! I TRAINED with Chuck Norris and got my Black Belt from Chuck. There were a few times Bruce Lee came to our Studio and a few of our Black Belts handled Bruce Lee with NO PROBLEM !! All you know of Bruce Lee is what has been written by his Editors and what you saw in MOVIES !! He was not all tbat he was made out to be !
Bruce apparently had a few legit fights in which he beat karate guys or just bums. People who say he would have beat Chuck Norris forget that Chuck was trained in Judo and had a grappling background, which he would have used to his advantage in a fight. I would put my money on Chuck.
@@davidjoubert8018 Bruce had a background in boxing, grappling, and Chinese kickboxing I’m not sure you knew about that or not
@@Monkforilla He did some training with Gene Lebell but that would be mixture of Judo and Catch Wrestling, not Jiu Jitsu. Possibly Wally Jay could have taught him some fundamentals of Small Circle Jiu Jitsu but I’m not sure. In any case, he was not a grappler by trade and given his acting career and early death he would not have had time to develop anything beyond some rudiments of grappling.
hahah. You wish. I can beat Chuck too.
What full of craps ur talk
........well he died because of drug. Say as much as you want.....
He doesn't do drugs. But it's not a secret he uses marijuana
Bruce died from heat stroke.
@@LIbertyorDeath419 yes most probably
I am so sick of hearing you idiots telling the world how good Bruce Lee was, truth is he was a nobody (an actor). And to say Bruce Lee tutored Chuck Norris is madness, Chuck was 10 times better than Bruce (proven) a true champion, not a fake want-a-be, an actor is always just an actor, and that's what Bruce Lee was, nothing more nothing less.
Chuck Norris was Point fighter
Hahahahaha you don't even know about Bruce Lee how could you say you speak truth
@@brownwallet942 Well Mr Smart-Ass tell me how many tournaments bruce lee has won (a hint zero) how many world class fighters has he beaten (zero) The only tournament bruce lee fought in, he got his back broken. And yes I do know about bruce lee, I watched his movies as they were released, not 40 years later like you. You are a fool, also did you know there has not been 1 not even 1 Asian that has ever won a full contact tournament. A Chuck Norris is the best, 7 time world champion, I don't think he needed to be trained by a 60lb Asian actor who thought he was good. Good actor shit real world fighter.
@@mickb4691 how did he get to be so quick if he wasn't shit?
@@mickb4691 hahahah bruce lee never broke his back during a tournament. That only proves you clearly don't know anything about him other than his movies
bruce lee was shit, he would have got absolutely battered. stole all his quotes and philosophies too. same old unimpressive backyard footage. never trained a champion from scratch either, just piggybacked established fighters.
Ur a pathetic nobody ur crap nonsense
