As a 13 year old I was obsessed with this man after watching Chinese Connection for the first time. I lost count how many times I watched Enter The Dragon. I knew every move, every quote and soundtrack. I practised everyday in the back yard or garage. His stance, his kicks, his blocks and of course mannerisms. The kids actually feared me! Took classes in many arts growing up. At 64 years old, it's all still in my mind but not my body and I credit Bruce for giving me core, balance and awareness to this day.
J'ai 64 ans aussi et mon histoire par apport a Bruce Lee est quasiment a l identique de mon entité . Grâce à lui j'ai toujours été en accord avec mon corp et mon esprit et grâce à lui mon maître de coeur font de moi je pense un type humble et discret.
People would come up to me and say Bruce are you really that good? I said well if I tell you I’m good you’d probably say I’m boasting but if I’m no good then you know I’m lying-Bruce Lee☯️
I´m born in 68 and all my life since I was young I always like Bruce and went always at cinéma and I must say that his fights,his speed and the way he moves was also very good. Huge souvenirs and big respect to him. Bruce brings something new to the world and somewhere it´s was begining of MMA👍👍👍
The most important thing Bruce Lee did that isn't talked about was revolutionizing the way fight scenes are choreographed and shot, specially his wide angle and full view fight scenes. To this day not many have been able to capture what he could, maybe the Raid 2 is close and I'm talking about actual human movement not CGI! Also the fact that he created a new style to train actors how to look like real fighters on screen is incredible!
I increased significantly in my Kaji Kenpo class just watching Green Hornet. However, when I saw his movies, learned Wing Chun, and dissected his "JKD," my level of profiency went through the roof! This alone, proves Lee's excellence.
Ahh yes Directed, Produced & Narrated by the Great Walt Missingham. Walt was the first ever non Chinese to set foot in Shaolin Temple and train with the Monks & Head of Australasian JKD. Legend! Still have this on VHS Thank you for sharing ❤
I recall being a little boy in 1 of his lessons I was 4years old and tell 5 my father made sure I would be able to take care of my self and even protect my mother if had to before he went to Vietnam and I feel very blessed that I got my training from Mr Bruce Lee and also greatfull that my father made it back from Vietnam and he was not in box when returned.
In 1973 i was 3 years old and remembered crying to hear that Bruce Lee passed away. He is my idol next to my dad. May them both rest in peace. Thank u for this video.
One of the best Bruce Lee documentaries I’ve ever seen! I’ve saved it and will use the awesome information for my own, fitness, boxing training and personal trainer program! Thanks very much for sharing!
@@user-pv8up3fg5kthe same reason why older people used to say “far out!” “Rad!” And “groovy!”. Kids have always came up with their own slang, and adults have always thought it was stupid. Tale as old as time
Like most great sportspeople, Bruce demonstrates that balance and coordination is extremely important if you want to be very good at any discipline. His sidekick demo 40:20 is a prime example. Good balance and good footwork should be every beginners focus.
I love this, because Bruce Lee @ 27:41 is actually training someone. This is like taking a class in JKD, or being in on or seeing Bruce Lee teach a student in some of his JKD. This is a lot better than Bruce Lee teaching his student in the movie enter the Dragon because this is the real stuff.
That enter the dragon clip was a real one also - Bruce was teaching the audience . From what I know he asked to put that in the movie . It is also very beautiful in that it conveys a simple yet profound truth about learning the martial arts . Something that people just brush off and not truly get about learning techniques etc . This coming from a 33 years old man … he was special no doubt
I believe the Choy Lee Fut man talked briefly about was my Sifu Hon Lee. In another article, Bruce also talks about the Choy Lee Fut fighters being some of the first to travel to Thailand and beat Thai fighters. This was also my Sifu. RIP.
Pretty decently put together. My only complaint with all the Bruce Lee's documentaries is that the person he spent the most time with who knew the most about JKD never gets interviewed. Ted Wong. The only guy we ever hear from is the Gym teacher who was an earlier student who really never did much with JKD (Inosanto). He turned JKD into some "style" bs to sell classes. Ted was the guy who worked out with Bruce all the time. At the school, at home, at long beach at the tournament, overseas. Ted was his closest most trained student who had the most time with him. He fought with Bruce all the time. Even developed JKD footwork even further after Bruce died. Ted was an engineer. Inosanto was an Ed Parker student and a gym teacher. Not saying hes bad but he dont teach real JKD.
the next Bruce was born in the year 2000 the year of the Metal Dragon, as was Bruce himself 1940, at the end of November. we haven't seen this person yet, but I'm positive they're in the making right now. A young 23 year older imprinting their mark in this world for all to see. Can't wait to witness this!
In about 99 % steet fights there's more punching envolved than kicks, throwing (judo,BJJ, Aikido) and if there's any kicking going on deal from the waist down, kicking to the knee,shin,groin and maybe the inner thigh but when your dealing with just hand techniques,EYE GOUGING is ideal, NOBODY CAN STAND UP TO THAT ESPECIALLY IF THE WOMAN HAS LONG FINGERNAILS, GUARANTEED !!!
I've been practicing Silat and Escrima since 1993 and Taiji, Bagua and Xingyi since 2008. I like practicing slow twisting and circling steps with blades. It nourishes my brain and I circulate my chi to stay healthy and massage my internal organs to stay soft and limber. The first thing I would teach someone is how to relax and root and circulate Qi. After relaxing, someone can learn basic Gong Fu! Ginseng A river of life through eyes Seen blue skies and dream Each day’s scene A shade of green from the leaves Beautiful blossoms So many herbs Spirits Here you find a shining light So bright I want to train BJJ. I know how to close distance and execute takedowns and lock joints and all the Silat, but I don't know how to go prone and roll. I can lock joints standing but I'd rather take someone off their feet. I don't want to go prone but it's a good thing to learn.
What you see at minute 3:55 - 12:54, the fighter in the white shirt was going to be one of the guardians of the pagoda, if I'm wrong he was going to be the second guardian, in those minutes you can see how they were practicing for the fight.
Great videos. I found fasting eg water fasting 3 or 4 days then OMAD or something like it gave me so much energy. Like I had as a young un. You done vids on fasting/diet too? Great stuff anyway.
I wish he was still around today. I would have loved to meet him in person and ever train under him. Those who got that opportunity are truly fortunate. God bless Lee Jun Fan and the surviving members of the Lee family. 🫸🤛
This is so interesting. Thanks for upload. He is so fascinated by and appreciative of the elements in nature. Elements that is, for instance, water, and our physical housing - from the exterior wall to the internal components...every ligament and other cells and connective lines. I don't think he realized how quick and alert his "lights" are, the lights that are his eyes (vision), ears (hearing), etc. that houses speed, acuity, etc. He seemed more atuned to the brick-and-mortar of his existence - the physical body or housing. This is where he mostly added to, by himself, for himself, that which is useful. Unlike his speed, acuity, that had always been there and quietly progressed/learning along with his personal journey in the martial arts via the physical brick-and-mortar. They (sight, hearing, breathing, speed, acuity, etc) seem more like the somewhat neglected and quiet elder children, also added, became more, became wise...all by themselves. His philosophies are assistants on his journey. Philosophies are loud, making sure they must be actively assisting at all times. For the brick-and-mortar and quiet first (elder) children cannot be compromised, according to the philosophies, otherwise true journey to progress would be hampered. Unfortunately humans age, get injured, depreciate. Time would compromise the brick-and-mortar, the quiet first (elder) children. Only the philosophies would remain as active, evolving, uncompromised. His "lights", or first (elder) children, similar to the motion sensing exterior lighting that we have to protect our homes. These lights quickly tell him, inside the home, to react, or respond, most appropriately. I would nickname them (the "lights") The 'Central Nervous System', and give merit to the numerous nerves carrying signals and to the blood vessels carrying cells creating a connective system in our total interior. His philosophies, or assistants, are loyal, versatile yet unwavering. It is the brick-and-mortar that requests for the most attention, care, and progress. If he were not an actor, of eastern heritage using western practicality, and wise in both hemispheres, then he would be whatever...but always "Bruce Lee." Acting is not practical, but it gave him the opportunity to have many mates, all very different, on the vessel of the martial arts journey. He originated from east, went west, journeyed east+west to east again. The world is constantly in a state of flux, and he is constantly evolving, with his uncompromised philosophies. East+West+East' (East' a derivative) ... Happy journey Bruce Lee The Journey is happy
I never really understood this until now, at 35 years old, but the secret when it comes to combat (or any kind of serious danger scenario) is that if/when you find yourself in a situation where it legitimately feels like your life is in real danger, like if someone genuinely means to cause you great harm - it's never 'you' in that scenario; the 'other one' always takes over and does the thinking and acting for you. It's hard to explain unless you've been in a life threatening scenario, but 'the other one' is basically an alternate side of you that lies dormant until you're in a fight-or-flight scenario and flight isn't an option. It's like your body takes over your mind and consciousness and thinks all by itself. You as a person effectively become silenced until the danger is over. You'll find yourself doing things you never thought you could or would do in real life. Think of it when a cat goes after a rat - I think we all know what happens if the rat becomes cornered/trapped...
No man on earth knew Bruce Lee's intent behind JKD than Dan Inosanto and only he was able to take it where Bruce wanted it. Yes, Dan kept adding new things but he was also helping Bruce Lee with his JKD developement project while Bruce was still alive. Dan had to have felt great dishonor by all of the JKD outsiders not respecting his efforts to keep the living JKD alive. Yes, JKD was a living martial art requiring continued innovation and was why the student could add only sound techniques that were in harmony with the spirit of JKD. The folly of a technique not in harmony threw the students JKD off balance and the style becomes irregular and unacceptable, especially by fellow JKD practitioners. Harmony, balance, innovation technique and speed were important pillars in understanding how JKD works. The compatability between Dan Inosanto and Bruce Lee was in being visionaries of a style that would be undeniably the most deadliest discipline in the entire world and due to it's living nature would remain that way as long as it is practiced. My honors to Bruce and Dan !
@@axelstone3131 through analysis. One must analyze and make comparisons. That is how it is done. The Tao of Jeet Kune Do makes that abundantly evident. Yes, directness and simplicity are virtues expressed in technique, knowing the most effective options and emulations for any given situation is the goal. We must constantly improve to master situations and that requires a lot of analysis and repetition. Be like water ! Some techniques are good for the instant but the best get filed away into the muscle memory file. One can use a technique and bring a man down then use it again on another person and he isn't phased. This is where you must analyze and learn to adapt a situation until you find the universal answer once found it is repetitiously refined into muscle memory and the results should be superior. It is not enough to be simple and direct, a lot of mind work and repetition is needed. Repetition can take your best effort and multiply it in power and speed, and is one of both Bruce's and Dan's keys to becoming a great martial artist. I hope this helps answer your question ! A friend always !
THE GREATEST MARTIAL ARTIST EVER EVER IN HISTORY. WHAT A LEGENDARY LEGEND MY TRUE INSPIRATION TO GO ON IN LIFE MY STRENGTH THE BLOOD IN MY VEINS I THANK U BRUCE LEE FOR ALL U GAVE US AND FOR ALL THAT U ARE A TRUE SUPERSTAR A TRUE SUPERACTOR A TRUE HERO MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT REST IN PEACE MASTER LEE THANK U🙏🏆🌟
Wow I didn’t know Brandon passed away before my son was born. How cool would that be to be reincarnated and to have you son your son again. Lol well I guess we all wonder what it would be like to be a girl at some point in our lives. Now I know and it’s much harder than one thinks and not so easy to remember who we were, well rather recognizing other aspects of our self that we are so closely connected to. In a linear fashion. Love does not forget.
BL was a good fighter in certain venues of fighting and not as good in others. He was a master of the 'standing start' "gunfighter" type due to his suddenness and speed and training 'to kill' in a second or two.
“Of my art - Gung Fu and Jeet Kune Do - only one of 10,000 can handle it. It is martial art. Complete offensive attack. It is silly to think almost anyone can learn it.” (Bruce Lee Jeet Kune Do: Bruce Lee's Commentaries on the Martial Way. Lee, Little.”
In my past i learned the way monks think Respect all living as well as what they learned. Only fix what is broken. Be like "Thich Nhat Hanh" In you mind and body. Relax and energy are connected to your movement. I aim for making a School for martial arts, a place that connect styles freely. Follow the place rules by follow the monk mind when training are important. The fun thing is there more i learn the more similar i get to what Bruce lee did. I might able if learn Jeet Kune Do to find the missing parts and might also make it a little faster technic wise, by them that school this way ?? Imagine if he had more time Jeet Kune Do, I might can give some info that can carry new angels or missing parts that got lost. I am like Science in martial art you practise, you see the improve of your skills. That's how I see it. My way are improve who you are, by study you body inner strength. A good teacher know what you body can learn in 10 min. time. Not just redo over and over. If you do 4 hour / day in a week, i can learn you to use any martial arts effective, even fake style. up to 5/10 before Dan scale. Use all the body make you faster. Max what you body are able to do, thats the first weeks time. Learn the similar language my 6 element, and you can grow over 5/10 Degree's way faster then i have seen other yet do.
Inosanto DID NOT DESTROY JKD, you got to remember, the way Danny Inosonto teaches JKD may not be "the exact way"JKD was taught to him by Bruce Lee.JKD CAN BE TAUGHT BUT IT CAN'T BE STANDARDIZED but if it were Standardized then it would be a style.Not everyone punches,kicks,throws or locks a person EXACTLY 100% the same way,alot of people are born disabled and will be that way all their life so does that mean they cannot learn "whatever kind of Martial Art" because their disabled.That disabled person has to find what is useful for theirselves and what isn't then discard it.What is taught to a person in JKD is not the gospel truth, the person that is showing the other person a "idea" is just that, it's an idea and at the same time there's over ONE QUADTRILLION OTHER IDEAS that person may want to tryout.JKD is not set in stone (like styles are), the best way, the only way, nothing but this way.Now if a person is learning whatever (technique) and that person has no experience in that department then it would be a good idea to go that direction, that could be their reference point, something to work off from, you may like the way (it is) or find another idea.JEET KUNE DO is 3 word's combined into one,discard the name, it's just a reference point.
Videos don’t do enough justice towards Jkd only by studying Bruce lees books carefully and practicing and practicing more eventually you’ll find the flow that is jeet kun do. internalizing discipline and adapting to anything is very difficult yet with practice will become easier. Hard work and dedication will always be the core of jkd….
