He practiced spinning kicks 1 million times. Black Bruce Lee?!
Black Bruce Lee has the greatest spinning kicks and spinning fists of all time. In his prime, no one could get away from it. His timing and athleticism is off the charts, with an incredible record of 49-0 in title defences and 88 knockouts. How could a man this GREAT have a hidden career? Let's change that by learning his legendary style.

My question is why don't the Thai boxers get disqualified this should be illegal blow this can cause severe damage and long time long-term health effects it is not only disrespectful but it is dirty fighting to kick someone in the knots and does not say a lot for the style or a sport or martial art or whatever it is wanting to be I was always taught when I done kickboxing taekwondo Mossley and other stand-up martial arts don't kick below the belt yes you are allowed it in Thai boxing but kicking someone in the nuts resorts to just showing how unsportsmanlike you are and how it is someone who is lost in a fight and has to resort to 22 tactics
@@jaycruzsemple it's mostly accidental in his fight when Mason spin and Thai guy teep, they mostly teep above the nut but the spin deflect the kick and make it hit the nut :))
@@bongkem2723 thank you very much for taking the time to explain it to me I really do appreciate it you would think in the sport it would be encouraged to kick a little bit higher in case of Accidents like this as it could severely damaged somebody or maybe even in some cases and they're fighting career thank you again
WELL DONE DOCU-VIDEO !!!!!!!! .........CHEERS MAN!
I think there's another pillar you can add: that he CAN actually punch when getting in range, since I note all that torso leverage going into it [as all the advanced strikers do]; and also the reason why his spinning techniques and sidekicks work so well (ie. due to the preliminary torso leverage)
“Fear not the man who quotes every quote of Bruce Lee one time, fear the man who quotes the same Bruce Lee quote 10.000 times”
YEESSSSS! 🤣😭👍
😂
This made me lol😂👍🏽
That and many of Bruce quotes he regurgitated from Chinese treatises , fighting theory of martial arts …
Yes, thought i am the only who noticed this narrator literally praising the fighter with Bruce Lee quotes 100 times.
Never heard of this man but he's a BEAST.
❣💯💛👍
Because the sports media only builds up the white fighters during that time.
Manson Gibson
I just found out about him 10 minutes ago and I am getting the same vibes, what a beast!
As a practitioner it pains me to realize that most people don't understand the full extent of how hard it is to do what this guy is doing
😬😬😬
No offense But he threw a million. If you throw a million kicks once. You're gonna land that on a world champion at least once. But yeah. That is hard. And savage. I don't even practice one thing enough. But now I'm inspired to. Just jabs. Spinning backfists. And side kicks. And pistol whipping. Jk about the last one. 😂
Bruce Lee was an actor. You can never compare this man to Bruce Lee. Show me Bruce Lee professional fights. They don't exist! Theoretical martial arts and practical martial arts are night and day. Don't tarnish this man's legendary career by comparing him to an actor who never competed professionally.
@@sammyakoms6172 Ah, the oft-spoken 'professional fighting is the only fighting worth talking about' myth that never dies.
@@sammyakoms6172Soddish. Plain and simple.
I know Manson Gibson personally. He lives here in Chicago. I am 5'-10"1/2 and I'm taller than him!! The fact that he went toe 2 toe with Hoost is RIDICULOUS!!!
I agree as well..the fact that he could best hoost in combat is nothing short of amazing...
Does he still train, or teach perhaps?
@@justinhearst Sadly, he does not. Now if you ask him to show you how to throw that spinning backfist, he'll do it. It's just that he might crack you upside the head with it lol
@Kali Carter that's truly unfortunate. He could definitely make a living teaching at an MMA school or coaching fighters, especially with his accolades. Hopefully he passes his knowledge on while he still can.
Do you know what he does for a living?
Serious question: How is this guy so unknown in fighting history? He seems like a legend, I can't believe I'm just now hearing about him.
He is BLACK. That is why. BLack talent is usually swept under the carpet.
@@michaelalali-goodnews3154 But that doesn't make sense. We know of many black talented boxers, even earlier than him such as Sugar Ray Robinson, etc.
@@bfkgod i guess you are right. Maybe he didnt have much publicity.
Most of his career was in the 80s and early 90s. I trained with him, Eddie Abbey, and Ken Kolodziej (another Chicago legend). Manson was well known in Chicago and Japan. Rick Rufus (Dukes brother) beat Manson twice. Unfortunately he never fought dekker, JYT or the other greats at the time.
@@frankboffa4837 and then Rick Rufus had his legs and ass handed to him by the thai champion Changpuek Kiatsongrit. That was the day Rick Rufus was taken to Muaythai School...the school of the low calf kick!
It feels like this man lived hidden on another planet my entire life. He was off the chain.
What happened to him?? :P
It seems that he mainly uses Taekwondo's kicks. Taekwondo is a traditional Korean martial art. I know it very well because I am a Korean, the birthplace of Taekwondo. His kicks are very popular in Korea, too. His kicking video has reached millions of views.
@@freedom_is_notfree Wow. Thanks for the information.
Spinning back fist sets up spinning back kick. Opponent doesn't know if guard high or low. Pretty cool.
Super cool. Thanks for watching Ash!
Water: be Bruce Lee, my friend. Manson Gibson: you got it.
hahahaha
Proceeds to do hurricane hook/ kick lol
the fact that he fought in equal term with Hoost show how insanely badass he is !! and everything Bruce said still stands true today, what a madlad !!!
He was way smaller too
@@LawrenceKenshin oh yes, he punch wayyy above his weight.. and succeed !!!
@@bongkem2723 big time
@bong kem no doubt!! I'd guess that was one of the higher weight classes he competed at of the 3. 188lb or so I believe, 5'10 and Hoost was 6'3. Those ballerina moves were a big part of he power I think, in preparation of rather. By attacking while in a spin already can give a lot of velocity, as opposed to a normal spinning fist or heel kick which also tends to telegraph it somewhat. I'd love to know how much his opponents were watching tapes of the guy beforehand, idk if that was a Thai thing or not back then
@@LawrenceKenshin Same weight at that time..Hoost became HW in his later years but started as a Supermiddleweight. then moved to Lighthw and later hw
Fear not the man who practices 10,000 kicks, fear the man who takes 10,000 kicks to the balls in stride.
😅
They said his nuts got 6 pack..
@@SamaBoaSoangPapar😂😂😂
@@christopherthegreat4226😂😂😂
Your reply called me back here to laugh again 😂 😂 😂.
I've never really seen much footage of him before this, but what strikes me the most is his timing on those double leg takedowns. Such a natural fighter and athlete, even in rulesets that didn't incentives those td's he still perfectly executed them. Imagine him in the UFC after training for mma...I reckon he'd look like a more athletic, more evolved Wonderboy. 😮
balls of steel he probly can defeat chuck norris too
But mma is just touching each others groins 😂
@madinahpaak1 no that's just you and your uncle
That tornado left hook was sick!
Super sick
Ye that's some next level combination, imagine a gameplan of this guy... "OK if he dodges my spinning back kick, I switch to tornado kick into ballerina kick in he dodges, and I switch to the tornado hook if he goes forward to catch me" ;D
This man doesn't have iron nuts, he has balls of steel!
Gibson and Augustus are two of my favorite fighters ever, simply because they made their unorthodox styles into a strength, instead of a weakness. Two truly unique artists.
Gibson is definitely goated and deserves to be more widely known than he is.
goat!
preferably as his name rather than the black bruce lee in my opinion
The Black Bruce Lee, Manson Gibson, was and still is the greatest martial artist of competitive sports. That guy was way above others and makes us understand what Bruce Lee meant in his advice.
There’s only one Bruce Lee and comparing others to him is doing him a disservice. The fact is the guy could do things other people couldn’t and was very unorthodox. As good as these others guys are there are all doing the same thing just at a different skill level.
Manson Gibson uses Taekwondo. It seems that he mainly uses Taekwondo's kicks. Taekwondo is a traditional Korean martial art. I know it very well because I am a Korean, the birthplace of Taekwondo. His kicks are very popular in Korea, too. His kicking video has reached millions of views.
What made him so amazing was that every opponent knew what was coming, but none could get out of the way. That speaks volumes of his mastery of his craft and the supreme confidence he had in his techniques. He even openly telegraphed his intentions before striking. It's like facing Nolan Ryan - you knew the fastball was coming, but couldn't do much about it. The man was special!
Good point. It seemed like he had the ring mapped into his head. The dimension, the length and width. He was Michael Venom Page and Raymond Daniels, but on a higher level. Incredible.
Don’t forget Sandy Colfax the Legendary-Lefty
@@anamerican8399 Kaufax, not Colfax!
There are many comments I really find arrogant but I truly respect what you have said and I agree.
The "Iron Nuts" part gets me cracked up everytime though 😂
I've never heard of him but I love him great attitude long live Bruce LeeRIP
That does it! I’m keeping count of all the kick sidekicks I practice, starting June 11, 2023. Let’s go for 1,000,000 💯!
This guy is amazing and these spinning attacks are devastating
incredible right
Manson Gibson uses Taekwondo. It seems that he mainly uses Taekwondo's kicks. Taekwondo is a traditional Korean martial art. I know it very well because I am a Korean, the birthplace of Taekwondo. His kicks are very popular in Korea, too. His kicking video has reached millions of views.
That tornado left hook knockout on Johnny Davis was incredible. Gibson slipped and slid forward and decided to go for it. His speed is amazing.
Luv martial arts & Bruce Lee. I grew up in Chicago 5 yrs older than Manson & never heard of him. Like soldiers in war many great heroes go unknown by the masses. He would have been an inspiration to many young Black kids that luv Martial Arts in big cities.
Ive been a 13 year traditional japanese kempo practitioner, and my 1st knockout was a side thrust right to the chin during a dojo sparring session by a slightly younger lad than myself in my 2nd year. I had him teach me how HE threw his side thrust, and it's a memory i'll never forget. It is quite literally one the most powerful kicks there is, and I've scored countless KO's from learning and throwing a solid Side Thrust.
Back kick or mule kick is more powerful.
@@Archangelswordgoing for a knockout not trying to see how much you can fuck up their head
As a Taekwon-do practitioner,he truly is an inspiration. I will toughen up my whole body and work on my explosivity. I know I will never reach his level,but I will get as close as I can.
Step,, hes great thats for sure,, keep practicing and never put yourself down.

that tornado hook is one of the coolest things ive seen in fighting, and to see that its an actual tool that he uses more than once, AND on top of that has follow up spins for that barrage is just ridiculous
He loaded the hook from so far. Crazy!
His timing and spatial awareness of where his opponent is while spinning is insane! I can just imagine how terrifying he would be in the UFC
Career as a fighter, 103-14-2 In the World of Kickboxing and 10-1-0 Amateur fights! I would have loved to have seen him fight Don Wilson or Bill Wallace!! Those were some great days!!! Rick Rufus was one of my favorite, especially after his comeback as a light heavyweight!
I've seen his fights online with grainy quality .. I'm so glad so many old school fighters are getting love from channels like this.. I'm 30 years old now but when I was a teen I read about guys like this and saw videos when youtube started getting popular. Keep up the good work. We need someone to edit videos like this with higher quality so this doesn't get lost to time.
"Your balls must be shapeless, formless, like water. " Manson Gibson.))))
😂😂😂😂
I never heard of this man until I watch this video. He has great speed and timing. His opponent will know what he is going to do but still unable to stop him.
During My seven decades as a martial artist and major fight fan I never seen anyone utilize these most difficult strikes with such accuracy. I know how difficult they are I am a tae kwon do stylist and have seen many guys gets laid out trying to use these kicks. He is truly amazing.

Would like to see you do a breakdown of Don "the Dragon" Wilson. Dude was also another great American Kickboxer who fought with a side bladed stance and had great sucess with it.
The definition of spin to win.
That left hook after that spin kick is dangerously sneaky. My mans is swift with the gift!!
He is totally doing what Bruce Lee mentioned. Wow he is totally great and surely his opponent will be having a hard time. They won't know when he is going to attack and I believe in every match ended, he won't repeat what he did in the previous match. He just will go in relax and enjoy the fight. He just will strike or encounter attack under his own rhythm. But the nut part really amaze me a lot.
Brilliant. I always thought Benny The Jet took it to the Thai's single handed. This guy deserves so much more recognition. ❤
Benny's the first. All else is after .😊😊😊🎉
Benny the Jet got his ass kicked by the thighs...KICKED DUDE!
Benny fought a thai and got destroyed! Dodged every thai fight there after.
He was not the only one. Don Wilson did that too, but more so Dale "Apollo" Cook. He really went into that with a purpose, all Kazushi Sakuraba like. Manson mentions Cook in that regard as well, including in this video.
Wow I have never heard of him.Awesome video and glad to have learned about him.Dude was out of this world!!!
Loooovvveeee watching this dude, you can learn a lot. He is proof enough that Bruce Lee would've been awesome to watch if this was in his day and he would've been all in the scene today if he was live.
What an excellent, well researched doc, great job. I had never heard of this guy until a few days ago when watching your video on my fav kickboxer, Ernesto Hoost, I was surprised as Manson looks like a middleweight, yet he took Hoost the distance, quite an accomplishment against the best kickboxer in the world at the time. I can't believe that such a great fighter is relatively unknown outside the fight world, but many thanks for such an excellent doc. Well done. 👏👏👏 Greetings from the UK. 🙏
Dude, black virtuosoes are not usually celebrated and thrust into the limelight. THEY DON'T WANT OTHER BLACK BOYS TO BE TOO INSPIRED NOR TO REALISE WHAT THEY ARE CAPABLE OF ACHIEVING. "No, just let them think they can't do more than rap and going to jail"
Thank you for introducing me to this amazing athlete/warrior. I can't belive I have never heard of him. Also, your channle is so good i can't watch other fighting channels. I don't know of any other channle that breaks it down so well. Thank you, for your time and energy into these videos.
🙏🙏
I can proudly say I'm one of the few who fought him Twice! And one of the very few who went the distance with him in his prime. Video to come...
Gibson, Emmanuel Augustus & Raymond Daniels is how I approached every fight I've been in. Transitioning into Tekken competitively, I used their unorthodox styles and it works to a tee. Glad to grow up watching such fighters.
why dont i know this man or heard more about him? hes awesome wth?!!
Probably because your age. This man has over a hundred victories with only a dozen or so defeats. He was one of my favorites to watch growing up.
Looked like he fought opponents of all sizes! :)
He's certainly the best I ever seen, he's definitely the Black Bruce Lee .... well done bro...
I love that this man loves what he does. He put his heart into the preparation. He found his gift and stuck to it!!! The Masta Blasta was my mentor's name.
I know Alex Caceres is called Bruce Leroy but Manson Gibson deserved that name - even before the movie The Last Dragon!
He is like water, he can flow and he can spinning back kick and tornado punch
tornado!!
This vid was incredibly done. Such respect and homage given. Well done. 👏👏🎬🎬
There are so many great fighters that never got recognized. Thanks for this video!
you need extreme balance to do what he did
for sure
actually you need iron nuts
Definitely need to be well rounded, in and out of the ring
You can tell people was afraid to fight him due to his style
Lawrence, I love your passion for truly artful and dedicated fighters, you bring me some of the best commentary and show me legends, this guy is a real one!
Glad this channel exists!!!
Thanks for introducing us to this guy...As a life long martial arts aficionado, i don't like that I've never heard of him.
Great fighter! Some of his opponents even had the size advantage, and he had the reactive takedowns too.
So explosive and coordinated great warrior
One of my favorite videos you've done!
Your videos are really well made, well done :)
Thank you
Kicks take a lot of energy, Manson Gibson's cardio must have been excellent.
Manson Gibson uses Taekwondo. He seems to mainly use Taekwondo's kicks. It seems that he learned Taekwondo from a very young age. Taekwondo is a traditional martial art in Korea. I know it very well because I am a Korean, the birthplace of Taekwondo. His kicks are very popular in Korea, too. His kicking video has reached millions of views in Korea.
Combat conditioning. Martial arts and military-oriented type conditioning. Ordinary cardio training won't give such results, not even close.
Man a legend within his self.
This is exactly why I watch Lawrence, the hardcore martial arts knowledge, there are guys like this, who have maybe not the most well-rounded toolkit, but their one tool is the absolute S+ tier, feared by even best champions.
You don't need to emulate him, you develop a style based on what works for you and your strong points, and that is the philosophy of Bruce Lee. This dude was quick, so he utilised his skills by using spinning moves to confuse the enemy allowing him more time to land with his strongest points about him. Everyone is different, use your body as your own tool. don't copy others.
I'm trying to understand how can you take time to create this presentation and give this person such honor but forget to mention his name in the title?
Right. Call that man by his name, he deserves that much at least. I'm on the verge of disliking the video just because he's not saying the man's name.
Agreed
Totally, someone at some point, maybe even one of us, should say this names, it’s deserving of said
Another classic example of a critic and a person never satisfied. Did his name not get mentioned several times throughout the video? Surly someone paying close attention could count how many times his name was mentioned throughout the video despite not being mentioned in the title. 😢😢😢😢
@@EvermelodiesWe must be watching two different videos. Gotta love critics. I heard his name several times. Mason Gibson despite not being in the title itself. Maybe you shouldn't be such a critic.
I never heard of him before this video. Interesting guy with a great talent!
WELL DONE DOCU-VIDEO !!!!!!!! .........CHEERS MAN!🍻🍻🍻
Honestly id rather take a quick and peaceful knockout to the head than to get mortally pierced by one of those spinning kicks to the body. Pain is absolutely no description. And I wont even attempt to imagine how Mansons kicks felt. No wonder he felled legends with those.
So legendary
His Style Reminds me of UFC Fighter/KZheadr Wonder Boy Steven Thompson who has a Karate Background and throws Amazing Side Kicks
Yeah this guy was 10 times better though.
The accuracy of those kicks is scary.
My goodness talk about flawless execution
I see why no one does spinning moves like him , its all about the nuts
😂😂
Bruce Lee is a true philosopher. That is why I love Bruce Lee and Kobe. They speak to my soul and spirit.
Superb combination of guts, confidence, and skill in this warrior. Why limit yourself with a style as opponent has no reference to counter? This man honed his own Jeet Kun Do flow and no one had an answer... period.
Wonderful video my duke!
Thanks for telling us about this legend!
Good wrestler too! Dude was a beast.
I know this fighter, and i saw a few fights, for me the most amazing was is pace-timing for is strikes, but also the courage to do it. This fighter deserves this video. Good job.
Never heard of him before but grateful you made this video to educate me and others about him. Dude was a killer...
Lets not ignore the fact that you used the Philly Shell defense against an incoming car. Mad technique right there.
i feel validated
😂 I know you still felt safe

Now we have many masters of bating 😂
This was my first time hearing of this great man… unfortunately had he been any other color, he would have had movie deals and every other thing they give to the exceptionally talented …awesome story!!! New subscriber.🎉
Very Graceful, he was amazing. I learned a lot from this video!
crazy work in this video, very inspirationnal ! thx !
It is very rare to see A kickboxer with unique and unorthodox style today
Yessss
It isn't unorthodox, he is using karate. In karate sparring you always start fighting with the straight line kicks from your front leg in the kyu ranks, it is later that they make you add the roundhouse and spinning kicks. Usually you start fighting with a full side stance, a front semi side stance, or a lay back stance.
Don’t compare him to Bruce,he is another legendary
We can see his fights and highlights. Show me 1 Bruce Lee fight or highlight.Bruce was a great actor, no more. Stop comparing him to professional fighters. He would be exposed just like today's so-called masters.
thats what im saying. It's really annoying that they are even calling him the black bruce lee. Just call him by his name
@@sammyakoms6172you guys must of been born in the 2000’s if you think Bruce was just a actor
