The Shocking Truth Behind Bruce Lee and Gene Lebell's Encounter 

Thank you for bringing the truth of this matter to the unfortunate often gullible masses. I myself with 30 years of martial arts experience had one martial artist demonstrate a take down technique on me easily without me resisting at all. He later took that demonstration and changed it to "I took him down". Talk about an ego trip, similar to Gene and many other ego driven practitioners. Much love.

@@ProfRobertStewart RU-vid will delete tons of comments. Its just the new reality we live in because nobody cares.

Thank you so much.

He lies about much more malicious things than that. He's truly a terrible person

@@matthew-jy5jp We are in agreement, my friend. He HIDES some truths that don't bolster his NARRATIVES. As long as I DON'T SEE his TREMENDOUSLY SILLY posts, he can enjoy himself. I've never had to BLOCK ANYONE until him. All can say what they wish on my sites. 🙏🏼

actually its full of BS..JL wrote it to soak the rubes

Great book

Read it twice in 3 days!! Amazing book!!

@@cuzz63🤣 still at it? Pathetic.

​@cuzz63 how so?

Or anything else either!

Joe Rogan=Closed mind+Open mouth.

​@@lindsaybeadle2559Apart from that he knows everyone in the combat sports scene

@@G.L.80 so he might so what beerdy thinks hes a bullshiter and even chuck Norris tells three different versions of the Same story ?

⁠@@lindsaybeadle2559beerdy is the biggest BS . All his Bruce Lee post are lies and he should be banned from YT !

You definitely not the only one.

Seagal is entertaining. Grew up watching his flicks. Idolized him a bit when I was 12. Hes gotten a bit weird as of late tho. Golden bell isn't trashing talking Seagal tho. Just like he isn't talking trash about Lebell or Lee just because GB doesn't puff up the myths of these guys floating around out there.

@@masedub976 He has told about the actual bad things Seagal has done in other videos.

Except Lee himself...since he died from being a cocaine addict. He boasted that he didn't like drinking alcohol ( though in his last year or two he did sometimes ) and preferred drinking tea....yet was smoking hash, smoking weed, snorting cocaine and taking steroids. Talk about being a walking contradiction. ie: Party host: Would you like a glass of beer or wine Bruce? Lee: No THANKS. I don't touch the stuff. Lee: 5 minutes later goes into the bathroom and snorts two lines of blow. SMH. Lee, in my opinion, read a lot and was a bit, " bright " but not a wise person at all. Cheated on his wife multiple times, did hard drugs, had temper tantrums, was self absorbed, took steroids and on and on and on.

​@@philosopher0076Source? Where can I find any of that info?

@@anti1training A lot of stuff is not going to be printed online, in 2024. We know, in 2024, that Bruce Lee was a visual phenomenon when it came to realistic fight scenes on film. If you believe that anybody who was a TV and movie star (never even mind in the 1960s and 1970s) did not do cocaine, then you just don't have any common sense street cred. I remember hearing about Bruce Lee cheating on his wife when I was a kid, in the 1980s. There was no internet then, there was just the living memory of the people who saw news headlines while they stood in line at the grocery store, or read magazine articles because they were fans of the living legend a decade earlier, and so on. I know that Bruce Lee was into using fitness shortcuts including using the original medical TENS units, at high throughput, because 10 minutes of electrical stimulation to the pectorals was equivalent to several hundred push-ups. It makes sense that he would have used steroids too. Anabolic steroids weren't even considered cheating, in sports training, until the 1980s and weren't made illegal until 1990.

​@@anti1trainingno sources. He needs attention

​@@anti1training Tom Bleeker and others

Joe should watch more One Championship where many of these style vs style matches still happen. Highly decorated BJJ athlete fought the champion in their weight class, Xiong Jing Nan. Xiong basically just boxes in all of her fights. She punched and dodged all over the ring for 5 rounds. The BJJ woman never posed a threat, and she was supposed to have been the most decorated female BJJ athlete in the world. I have no doubt that this woman could have beaten Xiong on the ground, but she was incapable of getting her there.

@@GoldenbellTraining Very true indeed!

gayjitsu is crap. master ken did very good video about it. now i have to find it and re-watch it 😀

Unfortunately your comment contradicts itself. You said that Brazilian jiu-jitsu lost to other styles in Mixed Martial arts matches. Say that again very slowly.....

@@picallo1 Don't have to. It's a fact.

Many people believe that Chuck Norris competed in kickboxing even though he only did kickboxing in a movie.

Cite the source where he says that, Otherwise Copilot is calling you a liar "Copilot Joe Rogan has spoken about Chuck Norris on various occasions, often praising his influence on martial arts and his achievements. However, there is no specific statement from Joe Rogan claiming that Chuck Norris is a kickboxing champion."

If he competed in the 70s and was a champion then he's legit. Kickboxing didn't take off until much later. In Bruce's and chucks day it was just point based.

Joe was, and possibly still is, a fellow Satanists. He typically does and says, what the Elite tell him to do / say. You dont get to be on TV, and make it big, unless you have "Made the Deal" with the Cultists. The Elite dont want the Lemmings to have high level combat skills.. which is why they pushed hard, to make people thing Grapplers are the best thing since Sliced Bread. The Gracies Cherry Picked clueless / inept fighters, and easily exploited them, using simple feint tactics. They purposefully labeled these fighters, as "Masters". Anyone with a year or so in the arts, could EASILY see that NONE of them were even close to being a Master of anything. The Gracies also took the original art of Jujitsu, and removed its striking, on purpose. The Gracies have ties to the Mass Media.. and were behind the creation of the UFC... where they used the same tactics: Invite some clueless fighters, that can easily be exploited. Slant the game further... by making it favor grappling methods. Eventually ban like 40 different martial arts techniques... make the flooring rubberized.. and install shock absorbers on the actual Octagon ring. All sorts of trickery and deceptive practices. Unfortunately, the Lemmings ate that crap up... and Parrot it back out like the Gospel. Joe has mellowed out a bit over the years. He used to not be able to spit out a single sentence out, without at least 10 curse words in it... even when he was supposedly taking about "Enlightenment". His ideas about Meditation, were completely wrong / inverted too. You dont just allow your mind to wander. You need to keep the mind busy doing a specific task... in order to eventually TAME the subconscious mind. I know, because I did 3 years of daily, 1 hour long, silent meditation sessions. I developed the "Quiet Mind" state, in only about 3 months time. Joe used to trash Traditional arts like TKD... Despite him having kicks that are FAR superior to ALL of the UFC fighters... because of his former TKD training. TKD has certain issues.. but, it also has some superior training methods, that are not found in the MMA schools, nor the UFC training programs (and it clearly shows). As for Gene telling the poo story... I vividly recall seeing him telling it. And as for the mention of the Mafia stuff... that clearly would have been a "Phrase", not something Literal. You dont poo your pants out of fear, unless maybe you are like 2 yrs old... or if you already are having a severe diarrhea episode.

Seagal never crapped his pants. Sammy Gravano is a storyteller like Gene LeBell. Only Seagal haters believe that nonsense.

@@Katzenhase I hope you and Steven have a happy life together

@@davidlancaster8152 Ha, ha, ha!

@kevincarmell9984 Right, Mr Psychology!

LIES

No he didn’t learn from “everyone” and the idea people taught him more than he taught them isn’t factually true. Bruce was gifted, and a genius at what he could do. According to many people today, everyone and anyone taught Bruce Lee, but it’s important to remember HE was the one teaching all those karate people. A few people taught him some things, not a lot, and that’s it.

This sounds similar to what I've heard as well.

That is not true.

That is simply a false story I can tell you for sure.

That's what I read on Gene Lebells website. Also Gene loved Bruce they were friends. Also Bruce lee is human lol he was also 26 I believe and Gene was a giant man compared to Bruce and a martial arts veteran in his 40s. Bruce didn't peak yet.

problem is that if so, usually le bell is talking about some kind of shots. he is doing it and bruce, respectively seagal, didn't defend. it is like i tell you i show you some arm lock. then lock you down and start to shitting on you and challenge you to fight and then trash you, that i destroyd you with my arm bar. but i believe that bruce and steaven were aware of that and not let him to do it and he is just lier...

What's your favourite real fight of Bruce that you have seen ?

Yes , and never tells a funny joke

Grapplers always think they are Invincible. I once attended an Open House sparring event at a Jujitsu school. Their students were being extremely disrespectful, and as Id later find out... intentionally harming others (breaking the arm of a TKD fighter). When one of their best Blackbelt fighters chose me to spar against... he started to make funny faces at me, while making some groaning noises. I dont stand for Disrespect, and whenever it occurs, I used KO level forces... to teach these dudes a lesson. He tried the classic high to low feint.. and rushed in. He was met by my mostly extended LEAD guard hands, Vertical fist to his Forehead. Less than 6 inches of travel, and I only used about 15% of the power that I was capable of delivering. Dropped him like a stone. I then proceeded to KO two of their other Blackbelt fighters, one after the other... the same exact way. These guys were excellent Grapplers, and have won many tournaments, all over the USA. However, that didnt prevent me from easily Knocking them out Cold. And that was me being Extremely NICE, allowing them past my Oblique Kicks, without Destroying their Knees. This wasnt the only exchange Ive had with Grapplers, either. I once sparred in a school that taught both Aikido and Kyokushin Karate. The Aikido dude was about 2x my mass.. and tried relentlessly to get a grasp of me... but I easily broke out of every attempt.. and kept Pummeling him, for the entire round. One time a dude that knew some grappling, as well as Muay Thai... grabbed both of my arms, and started to swing me around in a circle, while laughing. Obviously the dude was much larger and stronger. Again, I take this as a sign of disrespect... as he was doing it for laughs at my expense.. trying to impress the room of other fighters. I allowed my legs to drag a little, then quickly shot my body ahead of his... able to plant my legs firmly, and suddenly did an Arial Spin kick, that just barely missed his head... as he quickly let go of me. Dude got all bent out of shape, telling me to "Take it easy", when I nearly knocked him into the next week. Grappling has its uses... but its mostly for getting a drunken uncle under control, without harming them. Its not especially effective, in actual combat... especially when going up against a Masterclass level striker. The Gracies got their Fame, from Cherry Picking + Exploiting Clueless / Inept fighters. They refused to fight against anyone, that was actually capable of Destroying them. Gene would not have even gotten within an Arms range... before Lee unleased a brutal leg breaking kick, followed up by Lethal level handstrikes. Gene was way too slow.. and Lee was much faster, and far more sensitive + experienced. Like most grapplers, and large sized fight... someone like Gene is used to just Tanking some hits, in order to be able to get a grip on someone. Hes not used to getting KO or Lethal level strikes, on the way in. One of the fighters that lived near me... we used to spar frequently. He was also much larger and stronger than me. Which wasnt surprising, since while I was 6ft tall, I only weighted about 150 lbs max. You could have fit 2 or 3 of my own limbs, into each of his limbs. When we sparred, I never wanted to harm him... so I refrained from using KO level punches, nor did I ever use my Oblique Kick with any power. I merely used it like a "Stop Kick" to temporarily halt his advance. Basically, Id use him for Target Practice. He would eat my mild punches, and kicks, then using his greater mass and strength, would drive me to the ground, to try to grapple with me. I tried at one point, to tell him that he never would have been able to do what he was doing.. if I wasnt holding my techs back... to which he laughed loudly. I really didnt care much, because I knew the real truth.. that I was actually winning in each and every Exchange. I was getting my practice in on him... and I didnt care about looking bad in the process... However.. One time after we sparred, he said that I, and Wing Chun, are "SH*T"... as he walked away. My blood started to Boil, and I demanded he return to the mat... but he kept walking. It was at that point, when I decided to give him a Tiny Taste of what I was actually capable of delivering. The next time we got together, our mutual friend says "Fight". He takes a single step towards me, starting to throw a Cross. However, as his lead legs foot planted firmly on the ground.. its Kneecap was met by MY LEAD legs Oblique Kick. I used less than 20% on that kick... but even that was too much. He dropped instantly, like a bag of stones. He was SCREAMING at the top of his lungs, and crying a River of tears. This went on for a good solid 5 minutes, before two other dudes helped him hop on one leg, back to his car. He would later tell me, that when he got back home, his knee swelled up like a Melon, and he needed to down like half a bottle of pain killers that night, to try to dull the pain. He said he had to crawl up his stairs for quite some time... and that it took a Month for the injury to fully Heal. Again, that was less than 20% of what I was capable of Delivering. Mind you... he was probably as big and strong as Gene. He showed me a room full of 1st and 2nd place trophies, from his full contact competition events, from all over the states. Hes also not the kind of man that Cries. From that moment onwards, he was extremely cautious about getting anywhere near my legs reach... to the point of pretty much not being able to fight me at all. He originally said that he wanted to "End" me for what I did.. but realized, that I taught him a valuable lesson. He would soon start practicing that kick himself, for potential use against others.

@@johndough8115 Bruce Lee's training videos show he had no speed. Speed is overrated anyway. Floyd Mayweather is faster than Larry Holmes but too obvious who would win that. Lebell would easily catch your idol and choke him out

@@aliensyndrome4280 Clearly you have not seen all of the clips Ive watched, if you think Lee wasnt fast. But you are correct, that speed alone, isnt everything. For example.. its being able to catch the OP with an instant Counter, every single time... without failure... such as seen in his Long Beach sparring footage. Lebell catch Lee?! lol. A lot of people severely over-estimate grapplers. I studied Wing Chun myself, as well as several other arts methods. I used to go around to various local schools, to participate in their open-sparring events... One day I went to a Jujitsu schools open house sparring event. When I went to spar one of their best Blackbelt fighters... he started being disrespectful, making stupid faces at me, and making grunting noises. Normally I dont use KO (or higher) levels of power when I spar. However, when a fighter shows me open disrespect... I teach them a lesson. He tried the typical grappler tactic, of feinting high, then diving low for the takedown. Except, that Im a Masterclass level fighter. I dont fall for such foolish tactics. I used my mostly extended LEAD guard hand.. to launch a vertical fist to his forehead. Less than 6 inches of travel, and I never used more than about 15% of what I was capable of Delivering. Knocked him out cold. I then proceeded to KO their other two blackbelt fighters, one after the other... the exact same way. I was Kind enough to ALLOW them to get past my Oblique kicks to their Kneecaps, without putting them in the Hospital. Id later find out, that one of the dudes I KO'd, had also intentionally broken a TKD fighters arm that day. The next event they held (that I heard about, and attended), was not for another few years, when they moved their school to a different location. I expected a similar behavior... but this time, their attitudes were far better. All smiles, being very polite, and even bowing to everyone. And for whatever reason... none of their fighters approached me to spar against me. Unlike last time... when they instantly made a B-Line towards me, to try to fight me first. Happened to me a lot, when I wore my Traditional Chinese Uniform. Grappling has its uses... (mostly for controlling a Drunken Uncle at a wedding reception) ... But its not the "Magic Bullet" that most people think it is. Most of the vids you see it working, are against mid level, and or Clueless / Inept fighters. Try getting within a Leg or Arms reach of a High or Masterclass level fighter... and you are getting a severe Injury, LONG before you are in grappling range. In fact, most Chinese arts, have entire advanced Grappling + Throws + Takedown training sections within them (Chi-Na, and Shuai Jiao). However, why would you allow a fighter to get past every other range of combat: Long Kicks, Long Strikes, Short Kicks, Short range hand-strikes, foot-sweeps, ankle locks, elbows, knees, full-body checks, headbutts, etc.. Why try to wrap them up.. when you can simply KO, Cripple, or "End" them? Again, grappling is Mostly for controlling someone, rather than harming them.

@@johndough8115 I saw all of Bruce Lee's training videos. Poor form and poor technique with his punching and kicking which is why he had no power nor speed. Any mediocre grappler could catch him. Bruce Lee is overrated

None of what you're saying is true, but thanks for sharing 👍

​@@GoldenbellTrainingso Bruce Lee does not do Judo moves in Game of Death? Where did Bruce get those grappling moves? It was the only time I've seen Bruce Lee grappling on video.

They'll get kicked off before they say too much.

Its his podcast duh! Don't you think guest are vented before coming on?

Not this time...

Bruce was the best of his time. People should just give him the credit he deserves, otherwise it can turn ugly fast. But it's hard for some to give bruce the credit he deserves because of the green eyed monster. Noones immune from the green eyed monster creeping up on you, even guys like MJW who'd want people to believe they're fans of bruce

What's in it for Joe?

What other first hand accounts? 🤣

@@GoldenbellTraining Lebell's assistant said only 4 people were there and Lambert wasn't. Granted he says Gene neck cranked him and took him down but never knocked him out or did he crap himself. I've seen stuntmen that worked on the movie say they saw it firsthand and back up the knockout. My point is I don't believe Lambert any more than any of them. When I heard Gene speak of it, he was very humble and never put Seagal down. He also never said he crapped himself, at least in that interview. When asked about it he never said one way or the other. What he said was that if a person in that situation did lose control of their bowels it would be nothing to judge them for because it can be a body's natural reaction.

That's nice 🙂 Thanks for sharing 👍

I went over all this in a previous video already. The point is why continue to spread a fake story

That story about Bruce sparring in Boston isn't true. I've looked into it. Furthermore, Hayward Nishioka couldn't catch Bruce. He trained with Gene Lebell. I am starting to think people don't understand Bruce's actual gift of being able to get in and out of someone's reach basically at will. I learned that lesson after trying to spar with an old boxer after a Sanda class.

@@GoldenbellTraining It's true. I can tell you what dojo, a couple of people who were there, who he sparred with and drop a link to a forum wherein it was discussed (a while ago). I don't want to do it publicly, but you can trust me, it happened. It was amicable, for sure, but Bruce was 'handled' without any trouble by at least one guy there.

@@GoldenbellTraining training videos of Bruce Lee show he wasn't that good. No speed at all.

@@nelsbrown3674 Inosanto even said Gene Lebell taught Bruce Lee

Brucelee had speed how about you watch some of the actors that knew brucelee and has friends and has wife brucelee was a strong man and ipman taught bruce lee not that guy

How can I be wrong about something I've already said in other videos? 🤣🤣🤣

@@GoldenbellTraining it's called being consistently wrong.
