Coming up:
10. The Dragon Flag
9. Catching Rice With Chopsticks
8. He Was Too Strong For Regular Heavy Bags
7. One-Fingered Pushups. One-Armed Pullups
6. The One-Inch Punch
5. You Literally Couldn't Punch Him
4. He Could Grab A Coin Out Of Your Hand, And Replace It With Another Coin
3. He Was Too Fast For Cameras Of The Time To Film
2. He Once Dislocated A Guy's Shoulder, With A Slap
"He was so fast, most cheetahs have a picture of him in their rooms" Sounds legit
Definitely the clincher, although the Enter the Dragon Challenge fight was against some kid who was faking he knew martial arts on the set, most people that saw Bruce's response were embarrassed by his actions. Apparently he did not read enough Spider-man comics.
@@buckybarnes5146 he should not have dared to challenge the master in the first place, I'm sure the kid learnt a valuable lesson in life.
Yes no one and I don't think you should have any more trouble than you have ever seen and shizz is CT on a date and shizz will have stock options for the delivery company or the order of 7AM in Mitchell's Plain Harmony
🤣😂
Who hasn't a picture of the Dragon
Bruce lee doesn't do push ups he pushes the world down
Morgan W hahaha too strong
Black 110s No. Chuck Norris does that.
Joonas Bruce Lee knocked Chuck Norris out
Joonas you are correct my sir. Morgan W I am sad too say that he is right. never mind the fact that Bruce Lee could beat the living crap out of Chuck Norris. has anyone heard this joke before? There were 70 guys running at Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee pull the pin of a grenade throws it at them! then kills all of them! as they all fall to the floor you see the explosion in the background......
Arno Dorian ikr
I saw Bruce Lee in person In Washington DC at the Jhoon Rhee International Karate tournament in 1968. I was 10 feet away when he did a 20 minute demonstration included his one inch punch. He was unbelievable and cocky with incredible hand speed. His two finger jab too the eyes would have ended his opponent before it began. I am now 75 years young.
seabslew how are you on the internet? (I mean no disrespect sir of course)
That is unbelievably lucky. To see him live, in his finest form is a privilege beyond anything a person, whether or not a fan of movies or martial arts could ever experience. I've been to his grave in Seattle, and I can tell you that the energy there is both incredibly peaceful and a powerful experience upon reflection. I bow to you, and bow deeply to Mr. Lee.
Monkey D Zed What s so odd about it? My prime minister (Malaysia) is 92 yo and he is all over the social media/internet.
When I die I will see him so it's okay
im glad you saw a legend!
Normal actors have to rely on special effects to simulate superpowers on screen. Bruce Lee had to hold back his superpowers to simulate a normal actor on screen.
bruce had a stunt man that was doing a lot of his fighting. Some of the moves in enter the dragon where people said bruce was even too fast for the camera was actually a stunt man
@@l9ikjam he hurt his back
The stunts in enter the dragon were flips when lee beat sammo hung, and flip when o'hara grab lee's lead leg.That proves he was not superhuman after all, and also proves that he wasn't what people thinks he was.
@@gangstaman2069 your wording is dizzying. But, i just woke up. Also, please elaborate
If He stepped inside an UFC octagon with heavyweights ( disregarding the weight limits of each category ) He would lose, and lose bad. He was very fast indeed but there is a lot of myth around Him..... So brutal, amazing, like lighting a match with those nunchuks, yes but someone like Dos Santos would send Him back to China with a kick or two. ( My humble opinion not stating it to be true )
People who argue over whether Bruce Lee would win in a fight against a "real fighter", or a "professional fighter", or some superstar don't quite understand. Bruce Lee didn't become as epic as he was simply from training, or fighting in an arena, or working out. Bruce Lee LIVED martial arts. He was absolutely obsessed with it. His dedication to perfecting his body was almost maniacal. In a sense he was a member of the society of martial artists that had all but died out by his time who worshiped the martial body to an exclusion of almost all other material things. Toning his body was his profession, his hobby, his love, his entertainment, heck it was his breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert.
Agreed. The guy put his entire life into martial arts and took the best of everything he learned and turned it into his own.
WaRLoKWYATT the Guy that train Bruce Lee said he started slacking with doing martial arts after he went Hollywood.
l9ikjam Citation?
l9ikjam You mean Ip Man? =/
RiotDragonX Yes its IP Man. I'm guessing...
Not only did Bruce Lee have a fantastic body, he had a great mind.
Indeed Micah. As there are ithers with larger muscles yet couldn't accomplish the feats of Bruce Lee the master.
Bruce having a great mind is a matter of opinion. I disagree. I disagree with his philosophy.
+Trino Ponce Seriously? how come?
+Cody Townsend ... I disagree with Bruce's philosophy, for 1 his philosophy got him killed at a very young age. but 2nd, he had a famous line, " Be water my friend " you're a human being. you're not water. and the sad part is you have these grown men, who are following the man. I would say. grow up and get a life. Bruce wasn't all that. that's just a bunch of movies he has. with not 1 professional karate championship trophy.
+Trino Ponce No rules in the street kid, again study. Your knowledge of Lee is marginal.
He didn't die. He was banned.
Now thats what I call a comment...
😂omg
Bruce Lee didn't just die, he was M... nvm, dead meme

The anti-cheat detector thought he was a hacker and banned him from earth's servers
One of the best things about Bruce Lee was that he literally trained to do what he did and become who he was. he studied, he practiced, and he was dedicated. He's literally a figurehead for being able to accomplish anything through discipline and hard work. Saitama anyone?
So, he is the perfect example, to tell people that, no one is born genius. They are made.🥰🥰🥰🥰🤗
Predecessor of Saitama
He was the original Goku.
Wake up, Bruce Lee never had any professional fights his only wins were in fictional Kung Fu movies. I am surprised that you haven't said that James Bond and Superman are both better fighters than Bruce Lee.
Yes Bruce Lee did all of that training, but hardly any of it would be effective against a professional fighter. I doubt Bruce Lee could take a real punch, fictional Kung Fu movies is not real fights, they are staged, rehearsed and scripted, with several retakes to use the best shots. Bruce Lee was only an actor with zero real fight wins.
Wouldn't want to get slapped by Bruce Lee.
+destiny phongmany a martial artist working for M magazines said his boss said, "go meet this Bruce Lee.' He thought BL didn't look tough to him, "I was raised in east LA I thought I knew what a tough guy looked like." They started a friendly 'match.' BL was 15 feet away. The guy asked "What are you doing so far away?" then BL slapped him and was back 15 feet away. He did this several times and he couldn't even see the movement. Imagine if he was just six feet away.
+I like Random with hair
Of course
LOL :D
Just Nobody Keep Going at it!
bruce lee isn't dead he's simply hibernating for 1000 years he comes out of hibernation for 32 years and then he hibernates again
***** it's true trust me I've umm yeah just... BELIEVE IT... do you get my reference.
please, tell me more about this! i'm serious
aviamotors well bruce lee destroyed chuck norris who apparently died once but now he's ok so therefore bruce lee will be stronger so he just hibernates
So at around 0 ad, he was Jesus!!!!!!!!!!!! OH MY FREAKIN GOSH!!!!!! But then who was he around 1000 ad? William the Conqueror?
no he was still bruce lee just not as famous
I Yell “BRUCE LEE!” Whenever I need to boost my speed by 287%. It’s like casting a spell. It’s saved my life 34 times now.
Really
Interesting technique... I may have to steal it for myself.
I myself prefer "WATAHHH"
we could raid area 51 with this information
Marvellous Aguebor is you knew my mother, you’d realize she’s the deadliest of foes
Imagine bruce going to an airport, and the police is just like “sir no weapons allowed”
Bro that's pretty true since his hands and legs were as strong as steel
"Get the security here, asap! We've got a walking weapon in public air transportation"
His hands were registered as lethal weapons. So if he got in a fight with someone and accidentally killed them, he would have to go to jail.
Lol
😂👍
Chuck Norris is a movie star with a black belt, whereas Bruce Lee literally dedicated his life, up until his death to fitness and martial arts.
Mrs. Goat Chuck Norris is not just an actor with a black belt. He has proven himself a champion at the highest levels of competition. If you're incapable of respecting that accomplishment, you show yourself to amount to very little currently.
Mrs. Goat Chuck Norris is NOT a movie star. He does have a black belt and he spent much of his life dedicated to martial arts. No he does not compare to Bruce Lee. That would be like comparing Bill Nye to Einstein. But he was definitely dedicated to martial arts and fitness. Chuck Norris's acting career was successful only due to his martial arts ability. He has almost no acting talent at all and only got into acting because his brother made movies. So yes he was an actor, no he was not a star.
Let's not have a pissing contest here there both incredible martial artists that have dedicated there lives to it and they were both really close friends then even trained together so sorry to disappoint people but a fight between these to in real life would never happen
+GuitarSlinger2112 Chuck Norris did point sparring. In point sparring, disqualification will take place for the following reasons; excessive contact (pretty much any), techniques to forbidden areas, blind techniques, and poor sportsmanship. For the former three, you will be given one warning before being DQed. For the latter you will be immediately ejected. That's a hell of a lot less impressive than you're trying to make it seem.
Chuck norris didn't just do point sparring... he was the karate world champion six years straight.
Let's be honest, if bruce lee was still alive; he would have been the first person to ever do the kamehameha.
no doubt
Amen
tru. Or would have been the first one who would open the 8 gates.
Purple with his training by the time he was in his 50s or 60s he would have been as fast as flash or quick silver
He would be the Speed Force
Late to the comments but anyone saying Bruce Lee couldn't hang with today's fighters because he was an actor should really do some research. He was a martial artist first and then an actor.
Basically, he laid foundations for modern MMA and incorporated a lot of techniques like western boxing, body building and other to his training.
Piotr Dudała he even made his own martial arts style
@@goldennebula5013 JKD is not a single martial art. It's a philosophy just like MMA. Bruce Lee's style is sadly incomplete due to his early death. If you want to sort of complete it learn Jiu-Jitsu. I heard he was starting to learn BJJ before his death.
idurisu I know, but he still made it up, it’s his style; what he used. I heard in a documentary that one of the main principles of the JKD was to make it up as you go and do what suits you the best, fights in real life won’t go exactly as rehearsed in the training room so learn the basics and foundations as much as you can so you can make up the style as you go (I’m probably wrong though I’m not quite sure if it was JKD or some other martial arts style, I don’t have a lot of room to talk about here, I’m just saying some thoughts)
I do believe his stand up would be the best in the world, but he would have to learn the ground game better, which I have no doubt he would easily master. Wouldn't surprise me that if in an alternate reality Bruce fought in mma, that he would likely end up being at least a 3 weight class world champion. I just don't think anyone would be able to cope with his speed mixed with his strength, it's just unreal. And clearly his IQ and reaction time is off the charts too. Would be the most interesting fighter to watch for sure. No other martial artist has captivated the world to his extent.
Give a like if you believe Bruce Lee is a Legend
Before Bruce there was nothing.

"He once dislocated a man's shoulder, with a slap" Bruce Lee: The Most Interesting Man In The World
Bruce Lee was Invincible, Unmatchable and Incredible. H was extremely strong and fast. There could be just one Bruce Lee ever.
Yes but that doesn't mean we can't try to be as good as him...even tho it's never gonna happen
He was not extremely strong. I don't think you know what strong is.
666MrCactus no no no no no he was invincible not immortal. There's a difference
Bruce Lee would beat Mohammed Ali in a matter of seconds
I agree with you bt u dont know Bruce Lee then..He was unmatchable n Invincible n extremely fast
This man is the entire military
😂😂😂😂
He was so fast in his base form. Imagine if he goes ultra instinct ;)
He would become a superhero, if he went ultra instinct:)
Kai Soon Joe i thought he invented it
Lol Bruce Lee Invented Ultra instinct before Ultra instinct get it?
Thats why he was banned from earth servers when he went to his other form
Nah ultra instinct was designed after Bruce Lee , lol.
"It's no surprise that Lee died young, he clearly experienced time twice as fast as normal humans" LOL nice1
Lol.
'it made the master and immortal"
Another Rumor as lame as your personality, keep talking shit about a person that has already passed away. You must Really not have a life to be talking trash about the dead....
Really ? what makes you the expert ? Your just another victim of mass media rumors. But then again there are doubters and there are the believers. Do your research yourself man stop buying into words of doubters, seriously, name 1 one reputable martial arts master that does not respect the master Bruce ? Maybe you fit in with the " WHY I DON'T LIKE BRUCE LEE " CREW. He literally changed martial arts in form and film and philosophy, and he not only had to fight racist, he had to fight his own people and the overly traditional rules that they tried to apply to him, to prevent him from teaching anyone who was not Chinese. The Master has brought so much inspiration to the whole world and so much teachings, and all you can do is try to knock his legacy and diss on his death......because 100% of the people that doubt were just jealous because they cant accomplish a nano fraction of his skills. and if your going to tell me you didn't want to go buy a pair of nun-chucks after seeing Bruce use em ? then your lieing to yourself. so stop being a media victim, You sound like you probably believe Michael Jackson actually did what " the media " said he did. So stop dissing on the ones that have passed. and yes the master told me to tell you " Boards don't hit Back " and if you get your ass kicked by someone, it's Bruce Saying " hello"
Ken Lee relax brother, he didn't say anything bad about Bruce he gave his knowledge for the reason Bruce died no one is disrespecting the GOAT Bruce Lee in this line of comments
slap = broken shoulder one inch punch = hospital super side kick = R.I.P
Jeet kun do = pure cancer
*+Pyro Pizzaswag* Okay dude you seriously made me laugh out loud with that! XD
I need that thanks
he eats Nokia's for breakfast
hahahah It could be true man
My dad says Jet Li is better than Bruce, but I think he's completely delusional. While Jet is a great fighter in his own right, there will never be anyone better than Bruce.
Melodie, You are right and your dear father is wrong.
There are tons stronger than him nowadays. Even amateurs.
stupid remark,your father should do the research,before saying that
Jet Li would agree with you

When Death came for him, Death was beat up. Death asked Bruce to teach him, but Bruce couldn't as he was a mortal man.
Lol
"Be Water, My Friend"
"I can flow, or i can crash" B.L.

physically and mentally, he was the strongest man to ever exist. He accomplished everything he set his mind to.
Weeellll, he did say Ip Man was still better, now, whether that was him being gracious to his teacher, or actually true, who's to say
Thats a complete load. He wasnt some mystical figure, he simply bucked the tradition of martial arts for its betterment.
Stop telling lies lad
I would have loved to see what Bruce Lee could achieve since Arnold Schwarzenegger is those two things, I would say.
"Cheetahs have his poster on their wall." ROTFL.
Bruce Lee was and will be the only Dragon. Much respect to a amazing man. 🥰
That last line of the video about Lee be I brought to heaven to be God's body guard is one of the most beautiful things i have ever heard.
Totally agree with you!!! So beautiful, I am almost in tears.
dmnov15 free the same , in tears too
Heaven does not exist. The Bruce Lee of Legends does not exist either. Many men have had many legends created about them, e.g. Charlemagne, Davy Crockett, Daniel Boone, etc,.!
"God took him to heaven to make him his personal body guard" hahaha...Nice!
+bruceownsu He used quotation marks.... :/ read it...

Or he's training to kill all the demons in hell with nothing but air punches. He can definitely do it with the infinite number of years he has to train.

Human race is strong specie. You should be proud of your heritage. I am a proud human warrior..
So that's why you thought Lee would be at a pl of 50-60.!The video!None of these feats put him above 2150 psi I am afraid.

He was the real life Saitama. However, Bruce Lee will always be, in my heart and mind, the TRUE One Punch Man.

Chuck Norris behaves when Master Bruce is around
Donnie Buenaventura rightly said
Donnie Buenaventura lol
Bruce won over chuck norris in a fight
-kaiser roll Even if you could live to 10x your current age, you would still remain an ignoramus of abysmal intelligence without making an effort to improve your comprehension skills, mate. What this video and countless other sources have described are not movies, mate. Bruce Lee was a martial arts master in real life, founded a whole new style called Jeet Kune Do, and in fact performed all of those feats of legend. Anyone who hasn't been living under a rock all their lives would know this much. Maybe if you were to live to 4x your age now, you could finally comprehend these simple facts, mate.
in real life Chuck Norris was an accomplished world champion in fighting, Bruce Lee was a stuntman who became an actor doing TV shows and movies, he never actually fought. Norris would have won.
“Most cheetahs have a picture of him in the wall, and Usain Bolt watches his movies in slow motion”
To clarify number 3: They had to increase the film speed for ALL his fight scenes. Regular film speed is 24 frames per second. At that speed his arms and legs would disappear and reappear so they had to increase the film speed. No other martial arts film star is anywhere close to that fast.
He's a dragon disguised as a human.
Lol
He doesn't even look that strong so it's kinda scary
Shh! He probably has the ability to hear people between dimensions, and he is coming down from heaven right now to kill you.
Actually this is because in training, he concentrated on the "speed muscles" instead of "strength muscles". This explains his not so strong fighter looking body.
+Honn Lam isometric body. He is near the ideal package for the complete weaponized physical body. Strength, power, quickness, reaction speed, coordination, agility, fanantiticism, mindset, strong strong intuition, marble body, accuracy, knowledge of where to hit and make it count. Near standstill strikes that snap and actually can do damage.
+Eugene Chun strategy, great timing. Nuts. The dude pretty much has everything covered. Great great deception. Probably the most deceptive looking fighter out there.
+Honn Lam oh and his acting abilities came in handy. Unacting acting.
Best fighting style is “ The Art of Fighting without Fighting” .
They cant beat you if they cant hit you.

Chuck Norris was real. How many live professional karate tournaments fights / challenges did Bruce enter ? How many professional karate championship trophies did Bruce have ? I rest my case. All Bruce has is a bunch of movies. And movies are all staged and rehearsed.
I think he is Saitama’s master
Still waiting for season 3..
Hahaha
Ha! You would have more likes but I bet 30% of the world doesn't get that, especially anyone under 30... makes me sad. Much appreciated

he had to slow down just to be seen as a blur,lol
omgeh i cracked up so hard
+L RY lees real movements were a blur. Check out the slowed down version of him in the movies on KZhead. Completely unbelievable, until you see him slowed down and he's doing two or three feints which you don't see in real time.

Yeah, but the cameras back then couldn't film as "fast" as now
Gerben 01 True, but things will still be seen as a blur on todays cameras if they're just that fast. You cant see a golf ball when hit cause its that fast
imagine Bruce lee in Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter
***** There's a bruce lee ripoff in literally every fighting game franchise. Mortal Kombat = Liu Kang, Street Fighter = Fei Long, Tekken = Marshall Law, Dead or Alive = Jann Lee...hell, even pokemon ripped him off! Hitmonchan is Jackie Chan, Hitmonlee is, you guessed it, Bruce Lee
Mark Rebok Hitmonlee is named after Bruce lee in America he is actually based of a Japanese kickboxer his Japanese name is also named after that kick boxer they changed the name in America because know one would ever understand the reference.
Imagine Bruce lee in ea sports UFC... Oh wait
bruce lee is in street fighter 4 i believe
Mark Rebok Soul Calibur = Maxi
Legend has it that he was so fast that he punched the flash in the face before flash could blink!!!
“God’s Bodyguard.” Nice. 🙏🏼
It's just a jovial sentence. No one really means that. They don't wanna meet Bruce Lee up there.
100 push ups, 100 sit ups, 100 squats and a 10km run everyday. You're welcome. Now go be a superhero
Daniel Scarlett loooooool okay mate
Daniel Scarlett I do that for 300 reps
it's for beginners tho. I don't advise it anymore
ONE PUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNCH
Daniel Scarlett then u become bald
If Brock Lesnar, Matt Hughes, Randy Couture, Lyoto Machida, Royce Gracie, Conor McGregor, Jose Aldo, Jon Jones, Demetrious Johnson and all UFC Fighters and Hall Of Famers lived in Bruce's era, and if Bruce joined UFC, they were probably all dead.
No, he would quit because of losing so much.
so ur saying all the legends and world class champions you named that have video proof that they are actually bad boys will just get beat by and actor trained MMA movie star that has not one documented fight or even evidence of a fight but has fights in movies recorded
Ursella Levias. Please stop. Wake up. You don't know what you're talking about. Lee was the Hong Kong interschool boxing champion of 22 high schools at age 18 ( that's an adult male physique..age 18 ). He only trained with gloves on..for that competition, for 5 months...and won. He was in hundreds of street fights in Hong Kong from age 12 to 18...often several fights per day. He was thrown out of LaSalle high school in Hong Kong for all the fighting. Often he was in fights with chains and knives. He traveled around in a gang then for a few years. In one of his last fights he broke the other guys jaw AND arm....and police were summoned to his parents home and he was almost sent to jail. How many pro MMA fighters can you name that have EVER broke an opponents jaw AND arm, in a fight? I'll answer that for you: NONE. Lee was doing that at 17 and 18 with bare fists. That is why his father sent him out of Hong Kong at age 18 and to the USA....because he didn't want Lee ending up in jail. He also as attested by MANY witnesses, won all streetfights and challenge fights he had here in the states...and there are at least 30 of those we know of. And most of those were against bigger taller opponents. The best, top martial arts champions of the 1960's sparred with Lee and got slaughtered. The best of them,(many) such as Joe Lewis and Olympic gold medalist champion for Judo, Hayward Nishioka...have stated in video interview how incredible Lee's abilities, attributes, power speed, explosiveness was. That he was possibly, pound for pound one of the strongest people in the world. And that Lee toyed with them. The best Karate champions of that time took private lessons FROM LEE. His attributes were freaky and olympic level or better regarding a few. Film footage shows a 8.5 punch per second maximum speed. His explosive cannon like power in punches and kicks were and are legendary. Joe Lewis got tagged by Lee on the daily and said so. He also said, " And though he only weighed about 140 pounds, he had the punching power of a heavyweight." His closing the gap speed has been timed by counting film frames shows that he could close the gap on an opponent from 6 feet out in 5/100ths of a second. That is .05 of a second. That is 1/20th of a second. People who knew him said he was driven and smart, strategic and aggressive like no other. They said you would have to literally kill him to beat him because he would never quit..could never lose, like a dragon breathing fire. He beat everybody. He beat champion army boxers such as Daniel Lee...who said fighting Lee was like a bad dream...like you were moving in slow motion and couldn't even land one shot...like he was fighting a ghost. So, please don't be so obtuse. When every fighter who ever met the guy, such as the very top fighters of the day, say he was unbeatable and a freak of nature, gifted fighter, athlete, powerhouse, genius of strategy, focus and raging aggressiveness, explosive speed and intention, well there comes a point where you just listen and accept what they are saying. THEY would know... better than you...or me. Right? And you say he was just an actor? And was not a pro level fighter? Even Connor McGregor said in video interview, " If Bruce Lee were alive I have no doubt in my mind that he would have been world champion." Hear that? Think about that. Sugar Ray Leonard has said the same thing. These guys KNOW fighting. Trust them! And Bruce Lee KNEW fighting and was a fighter. A REAL fighter, in street fights...all his life. But you think because he was not in a pro MMA or martial arts competition, that he was not a top level fighter? OK. Think about this then: You are sitting in a living room with McGregor and three other top pro fighters when suddenly, a full grown lion strides into the room with no chain...nothing...and is stalking, pacing, growling. Now, you have, at that point in time, never seen that lion in a fight. Yet...you would just KNOW automatically, that lion would rip any fighter in that room, to shreds. Bruce Lee was like that. Get it now?
Kevin Meyers how do you actually know besides word of mouth actor trained mma movie star get real
Ursella Levias. How do I know? It's on record at Lee's former high school that he won the boxing championships. There are several photos in black and white of Lee in the ring at those championshops with gloves on. Etc..etc. We know from his family and many others of his fights in Hong Kong not to mention his school expulsion records for fighting and that his parents sent him to the USA and why. We have MANY different people, witnesses, saying the exact same thing regarding fights Lee had here in the USA. The information doesn't contradict at all. That is saying something. There is video AND photo evidence of Lee training famous athletes and fighters such as Kareem Abdul Jabaar, competitive fighters and Karate Champions Mike Stone, Joe Lewis, Bob Wall, Judo Champion Hayward Nishioka, boxing champion Dan Lee and etc.,etc., etc. We have video interviews of many of those greats saying Lee could punch them in the face or kick them at will during sparring and that Lee was the fastest human they ever saw. Joe Lewis for one of many. Fighters have HUGE egos and never like to admit they lose in anything fight related. You say it's just " word of mouth" . Really, dumb dumb? Why would pro fighters admit to being nailed over and again by some little guy who was, ( in your words) just some actor? And we have video proof of Lee's physical attributes of freakish speed and power and explosiveness and foot work, closing the gap speed, hand speed, dexterity, flexibility etc., etc., etc., etc., etc....... ( How many one finger and thumb push ups, on ONE hand...going all the way down until your nose touches the floor...on each rep.....can YOU do son? I'll tell you the answer. The same amount all the great fighters, champions, athletes who were taught by and who sparred with Lee could do....NONE. And that's just one attribute ( strength ) of Lee's MANY that were beyond anyone else around. Wake up and stop denying the obvious.
I've always been a fan of Bruce Lee. I grew up watching every movie and every documentary about him millions of times and still do, never get tired of watching his clips. And I still get saddened that he passed away too soon. He was a legend indeed, a one of a kind, a true master at martial arts. If anyone had the privilege to be in his presence what an honor that must've been. And, I cannot forget his son Brandon either. What a shame losing them both.
Anyone who's done serious research about bruce lee knows he was the greatest martial artist/fastest/most powerful pound for pound fighter of all time. No one has ever come close to the speed/brutal force and technique(not in the formal standard of one specific type of fighting) but in the overall no rules street fighting. No one comes close. No one will ever come close. I am sick of people saying oh it was just his movies that gave somewhat of a false perspective of his true skill and unbelievably unmatched technique. Bruce was as close as it came to a superhuman as it gets. Thank you. - JKD obsessed martial artist along with Wing Chung Jui Jitsu Wrestling and Muy Thai. Long live the immortal dragon.
Reason #11: he fucked up chuck norris
Lmfaoooo!!!!
lol, he taught chuck norris.
He gave Chuck his first waxing experience which proceeded into the next few decades of Chuck's career.
OmniscientWarrior Chuck Norris was a student of Bruce Lee's. Not the other way around. But they did share techniques with each other.
I don't think these people watch erb...
Forgot to mention was very good a playing ping pong... with nunchucks...
That guy doing that is not Bruce.
Eddie Steele www dogs
He had a man throw matches at him and he would light the matches with his nun chucks
Jared Weir No, he absolutely could not.
He did not play pingpong with nun chucks. That was a fake video made for a commercial. It has been completely discredited on snopes.
This is possibly the best thing I've seen all year.
5:25 I just laughed out loud and everyone around me now thinks I'm weird.
Bruce Lee to me is an inspirational legend in the spirit of Musashi Miyamoto and many countless nameless legends like him. Self taught, self mastery, true sovereign. Everything we need to become super human is already built inside ALL of us. Overcoming the ego and accepting reality as it is. Relentless in the pursuit of truth regardless of tradition. My respects to such mastery.
Number 0: Bruce was the father of Zeus.
son* lol
Andres Duran Father. Is what I meant.
So he is also known as Kronos?
Bruce like Zeus , both mythology hahahaha
lol
I hate when all these modern fighters try and diminish Bruce! Like he wasn’t a real fighter. Like somehow he was only great for his time. He was and is the most legit famous genius level grand master. His martial I.Q., even if he had lived, was so high and assuming the naysayers are correct he just would have adapted to knew models and destroyed these fools.
I love Bruce lee but there is no footage of real fights he had only sparring
Draxvelo An MMA fight is technically not a real fight. There are weight classes, a referee, a cage! There are many eye witness accounts of him fighting or even other martial artists attesting to his genius martial I.Q. Brazilian Jiujitsu changed the fighting game because of the Grace’s nobody knew what they were doing in the beginning and they were masters of their craft, but in a dark ally with someone who may take your life trying to wrestle someone to the ground is nonsense. It’s useful if you’re taken to the ground but that is not that easy with someone who is skilled while standing.
Robert Wright His “superhuman strength” is that fake?
Draxvelo What is superhuman! It’s still human, super human could qualify for many elite people throughout history. Take someone who can run a hundred mile marathon or the fastest or strongest person on the planet, we can call them outliers. For all intents and purposes, they qualify as superhuman, but I am not arguing that. Just that people try and dismiss him like he would have been average or less compared with top fighters today and I don’t agree with that.
Robert Wright Like examples in the vid
brilliant commentary! hilarious stuff man :D
yo this was pretty awesome dude
U took the piss out of Bruce Lees death, learn some respect
Not really.
+AJG they do not know what is respect, it os a shame, but some of us still respect him as master of perseverance
ch Ta I would beat him in a 1v1
the tall midget who is a culito nope
Its not called "superhuman" its dedication and hardwork...
+Fuzzycat and he or she starts some
Fuzzycat shots fired
+Snowerzzz And genetics.
+Snowerzzz compare him to other men. ya superhuman. ty byebye.
+Snowerzzz A lot of it too.. I mean LOOK AT HIM!
Thank you that was a wonderful video. I started training back in 1978 because of Bruce Lee. I was only 11 and cried like a baby when I learned he had passed. I was fortunate enough to meet many who had known and trained with him. One was a Kung Fu master who told me he had bite the tip of his tongue off during a sparing match. Everyone who ever met or trained with him all say the same thing, Bruce was better then humanely possible. Thank you again for such a wonderful tribute
Imagine Bruce Lee with his own fitness channel
I can hop on one foot while carrying on open topped full pitcher of beer across a room without spilling any. That's MY party trick... But I bet Bruce Lee could have done it better.
***** Not any more. As you said, God called him home early.
probably would have done it while standing on chopsticks
Epic Gamers haha. I bet you're right.
Bruce lee could've done it with backflips
gregistopal Probably.
the fact about the slowing down thing is correct and wrong at the same time. its not a testament of his speed but that back then technology sucked. the fact is with cameras back then anyone would be a blur if they were punching at full speed. also Bruce lee said that he was not very fast. when sparring with a student student noted at how fast lee was but he said"No i am not, his student said well you sure are faster than me" to which he replied i have met many people faster than me, i have just learned to be deceptive"
Im sorry I know people who work on films and this is still true... films know action is slow and then speed up to make it look real....in Bruce lee films he wanted to look real..film speed has never changed... sorry to tell you shaolin monks are still defy all other martial arts.. which is way all others came from them...like yijin jing and shi-ba lohan shou.. tell vic moore this fact his master learned from a Japanese man that took one shaolin style and learned karate which came from white crane kung fu...I study shaolin kung fu and practice Buddhism ..also study eastern art and history
992ras You should study and practice the true writing of the English vocabulary my 992ras-Son since you're still so very poor in it. Word up.
Any person into martial arts & devotes any time to this sport is only ever going to be a fraction of the man (& human weapon) Bruce Lee was. They would all live in his shadow.
Worse shadows to live in than his.
I always admired Bruce Lee, still do. He had a beautiful mind, self-discipline and kind smile. He is missed along with his son, Brandon Lee. Thanks for this video, it is informative and enjoyable!
He was not perfect
Bruce Lee was the real father of Hanzo and Genji from overwatch. That's why they have dragons.
but hanzo and genji are japanese lol
Why you gotta ruin my dreams
I'm so sorry ._.
Maybe Bruce's spirit still lives on through the brothers lol
is that casey in ure dp lmao
Bruce Lee didn't believe in god, but god believes in Bruce Lee.
true dat
While it is true that there is a recording of Bruce saying that he did not believe in God, I do not believe it to be true. I have studied the life of Bruce Lee since 1974. He got married in a Christian Church, and before that he went to Catholic school in Hong Kong. Here is what I know about Bruce;s private life: After he became super famous in Hong Kong after The Big Boss became a hit, the Chinese underground (mafia) tried to get him to give them a percentage of his earnings. Bruce refused to do that. He then was receiving death threats all the time. He then started carrying a 45 caliber gun. Think of this psychologically from Bruce's standpoint. He (Bruce) being looked at and challenged on a regular basis had to show the Chinese mob that he was not afraid of them or their threats. Therefore, it is my humble opinion, that Bruce thought that if he says that he does not believe in God, and the Chinese mob and others heard this, they would think twice about trying to attack him. Because someone that does not believe in God also obviously does not believe in the eternity of going to hell, and therefore. such a person would not care if they killed someone because they had no fear of their eternal soul going to hell. So, I personally believe that Bruce was just trying to psych out the mob by saying that he did not believe in God. Just my humble opinion.
ROCKMYER It's quite obvious to me that the wedding was for his wife. I didn't know he had guns though, that's interesting. His mother sending him to catholic school doesn't mean anything. Him learning karate doesn't mean he likes Japan. He always said be yourself, and don't change for anybody, so I doubt he would say he was godless merely to intimidate somebody. He did believe in "the spirit of the universe" and the spiritual force within you, but he didn't call it god, so make of it what you will. You are entitled to your opinion
Trever Wiebenga It absolutely does mean something that he went to Catholic school. He never took Japanese karate. He did not say he was Godless and he did not say what he did to intimidate someone. He said what he did to psych them out. The universe was created by God. Not the other way around. He had his life and a family to protect. Bruce Lee was very smart and as such I believe that the recording of his voice saying that was just to fool gullible people.
+ROCKMYRE if all you are gonna say us "yes huh"you may as well not reply. It's 100% speculation on both of our parts. Psych out and intimidate is the same thing, as it is to influence someone's mind to protect yourself. I know several people who went to catholic school and are now completely atheist. He studied all religions, as do I. He formed his own opinions and spoke about "the spirit within all things," a taoistic idea, but didn't claim it to be god. The karate thing was an analogy. I couldn't think of a different country's martial art that would express it. But I know he hated Japan, so I used it. Peace and goodbye.
i loved your narrating on lee's ability. especially when you said he was needed as Gods bodyguard. made my day bro!
Lol... most cheetahs have a picture of him on their walls 😂😂😂
my uncle's sensei was a student of Bruce Lee, he has a pair of black gold trimmed nun-chucks that were passed down from master to student the things are solid iron and heavy as f-k Apparently Mr. Lee would swing those things at high speeds that made a whirling sound with each swing. o.O my Uncle can sorta do it too but from the old video's his sensei had of Bruce's demonstrations he had to have been super human no normal person can swing 20+ pound nun chucks like that the guy was a beast in human skin
apparently, they lied to you.
You'd literally have to dedicate your entire life to martial arts to land a scratch on this man
While he was asleep maybe
Affulent still wouldn't be enough!
Affulent He is Thanos then
Very nicely put together!
Bruce Lee had a student called Saitama.
One punch man
That moment when you don't fear dying because when you die you have a list of people to meet and Bruce is #1 I would've loved to train with him, my dad did for a month and said it was fun because he was very patient and funny.
+Brandon Jackson That was a blessing, a true moment in time You or your father will never forget.
+Brandon Jackson your dad is lucky
Would be cool if you got named Brandon because your dad and Bruce planned it :D ! (the chances of that are almost zero I know, but what if? )
Bruce lee is my inspriation In going to the gym
ɷɷɷ Youuu Wonttt Belivee Guyss H0ww I Losttt Fatt Fast In Justt 3 Weeksss Withhhh Thissss Weight Loss Diet Visitttt : - t.co/Ferq3Um6eA
Really coz he's my inspiration for shooting up. Seeing as he was one of the worlds most famous junkies than why can't I make it.
The guy was simply the best, the mold was broken with him and we are left in permanent awe.
2:35 excuse me WHAT
So all the Chuck Norris jokes are actually Bruce Lee facts.
***** Thank you :)
Yep, I think so..
the true one punch man
lockjalw1 xD
Thank you for the video 😀
Bruce Lee was magnificent in many levels. I wish he could be around to learn more about his grades off powerful techniques of martial arts.
Number 11: Bruce once went into Burgerking and ordered a Big Mac..and got one!!!!..need anymore proof hes superhuman??...thought not
Exactly
LOL! Burger King and MacDonald's belong to the same company!
I wouldn't want to piss him off now much less when he was alive.
Heard he had a pretty bad temper as well.
+Matthew Smith Making movies was really stressful and he did hardcore workouts and really stressed his body out, no wonder why he apparently has a bad temper..
+Matthew Smith violent temper. He once almost murdered someone and people who witnessed the fight were genuinely scared.
+Matthew Smith plus he was a Sagittarius. The element of Sagittarius is fire and he was born in the year of the dragon. Bad bad mix.
And yet he never put anyone in the hospital. Even the one fight we know that he actually did have with WOng Jack Man he didnt hurt him.
bruce lee is pure power. super human ability. he had a way to adapt to any situation. also to predict your next move as if he could read your thoughts. a remarkable human being. he had a way to draw power almost like he would go insane when he got mad. but he harnessed the anger into strength. watch his eyes when he gets mad. he had a way unlike no other person you would ever see. no bruce lee was a one of a kind. there will never be another as gifted and as tallented as he was.
Going mad in martial arts is pure non sense, what you want is a calm cold rational thinking martial artist in combat. Does Jon Jones go mad, does GSP go mad, does Mike Tyson go mad, does Marcus Buchecha Almeida go mad, does Bas Rutten go mad ? no while thy are fighting and winning they are not mad but rational "killing " machines" ding what they trained. The martial arts wanna be goes mad, loses most what he learned under pressure and gets thrashed. The "i push a switch and I go mad and no one cn stop me" is one of the most mall ninja claims made on the internet by people who mostly never fought serious opponents.
That was the hardest ending homie said he became gods personal body guard much respect ✊🏾 💯💯💯
When ever Bruce lee would do push ups, he wouldn't go up or down, the earth would.
now I am scared of Bruce Lee I never knew there were ppl like that
+The Busted Cuzns almost everyone is scared of Bruce XD I mean of course there's some people who thinks Bruce is total BS but that's why he gets ALOT of fights in real life because they think he can't fight and is only an actor and people just challenge Bruce when they see him and of course Bruce always win. Like one incident happen when he fought this martial arts dude who did karate and under 11 seconds Bruce landed 15 punches and a kick which knocked the guy out xD
Bruce only fought random dudes of unknown skill.
cuzz63 that doesn't mean much dude
Diana Davidson , thats my point, Why claim he was a great fighter when they didnt mean much?
cuzz63 I ment just because they may not be that skilled don't mean he couldn't take on more skilled people
Chuck Norris waited until Bruce Lee was dead 30 years before saying he could have beat Lee. Same for Vic Moore. Long after Lee was dead, he started claiming that he =had= blocked the punches. But he kept looking over his shoulder.
Nice vid!!!👍🏽
Bruce Lee was the real life Goku.... Brandon Lee was Gohan...
Hail Rell let's find the dragon balls to wish him back
Krevix Bass ctfu I so wish I could...
Woop woop
Is that why Brandon Lee died from a bullet? Because he was weak like Gohan xd.
And Chuck Norris was Picolo
Very good and witty representation of Mr bruce lee's talents.
The speed of light called Bruce to say, "You win."
