Tommy Carruthers Showreel - Underground Edition 

how can he be so fast and extremly strong(stiff)?

What level is he on because no one has seen this guy fight

@@mrt445 as in rules? jkd is for the street m8 not the ring, its about getting the job done as non telegraphically and as fast as possible why dont you go to glasgow to find out

@@deadlift1974 JKD fighters would get destroyed by MMA fighters in the ring or the street with no rules. BJJ started in the street. This guy doesn't spar or fight full contact but people act like he's a god. In Brazil they have MMA fights called Vale Tudo where they allow groin shots, eye pokes and hair pulling. This excuse about training for the streets and not the ring is nonsense. JKD fighters wouldn't last in Vale Tudo against trained MMA fighters who will fight under no rules if challenged. Also watch the early Gracie fights where they destroy JKD and Kungfu fighters under no rules.

@@deadlift1974this guy is a moron. He says the same crap in every comment about Tommy. Only close people saw Bruce fight also. So the guy talks nonsense. This is literally all he does. Just leaves comments talking crap about Tommy. I think he’s secret a fan. Probably wants an autograph.

YesWhitesDeserveToDie AndIHopeTheyBurnInHell Mhmm

Like Rick Young did?

Are you ok? )) No one can repeat another individual especially gifted one..bruce lee was a talent.

Tommy Carruthers is the biggest bs artist going. Bruce would have disliked him. This guy doesn't spar or train fight full contact which you'd expect for someone who claims to be training for the "streets". You'd have to simulate the street environment in some way and he does none of that.

@@mrt445funny how you say that when Bruce’s very first student Jesse Glover did a whole video about him literally talking about how gifted he is and is the closest thing to Bruce he’s ever since since Bruce. It’s even on RU-vid. Go ahead and watch it. I’m sure you conveniently leave that part out when you slag him off online don’t you? You are bitter little man. Every time I see your comments you have nothing but utterly toxic hate spewing from your mouth. You are absolutely pathetic. Tommy is 63 years old you moron. He’s done all the sparring he needs to do. He’s had all the fight experience he needs. His time is spent teaching his students and staying in shape these days. You’re an idiot. If Bruce was alive Tommy would no doubt be his number one student. Bruce would be proud to see someone be able to execute the same technical proficiency of JKD principles and body mechanics which next to nobody seems to be able to do. All these so called “JKD instructors” but almost none of them look anything like Bruce Lee. Even Bruce’s own wife and daughter had Tommy demonstrate JKD twice for Bruce Lee’s birthday celebrations. Pretty good for a so called “bs artist” wonder why they didn’t ask anyone else. You really ought to have your account banned for the amount of bs and misinformation you spread about the guy. RU-vid is full of cowards like you. Why don’t you be a man and go to his school? See how that works out for you instead of hiding behind your keyboard talking nonsense.

@@mrt445 id agree. No jkd would look the same, and it would have evolved. Tom looks like a copy cat stuck in the 70s

For starters Bruce Lee was an actor that played fighter characters. JKD is non existent as a martial art. It uses other martial art techniques but has very little techniques of its own. The top JKD guys in the world have strong background on other systems before starting JKD.

JKD was never a complete art because Bruce Lee died too soon. JKD schools are pretty much a group of Bruce Lee fanatics who try to imitate Bruce Lee. MMA is way more complete and it's still evolving

@@mrt445 I agree to a degree, there are lethal moves that are not allowed in MMA that in a real street fight would be used and more effective than current MMA moves. Groin kicks, Head butts, Palm strikes, finger jabs to the eye ect.

@@Nez949 Do you know what depresses me. The fact that if Bruce Lee lived longer he would have implemented BJJ into JKD and he would have loved MMA, he possibly would have created something like the UFC before we officially had it in the 90's. JKD practitioners like Tommy Carruthers are trying to act as if he knows how JKD would have turned out or how Bruce Lee would have responded to MMA because Tommy Carruthers hates MMA. Even when Bruce Lee was alive he already knew how to apply the main BJJ submissions because he studied Jui Jitsu. Tommy Carruthers constantly complains about MMA not being realistic eventhough in Brazil they have Vale Tudo MMA fights that have barely any rules. They ALLOW groin shots eye pokes, headbutts and hair pulling but JKD fans continuously act that these MMA events do not exist, and that groin shots and eye pokes are secret techniques that only they're aware of when even untrained people use them all the time... Vale Tudo proves that even with these limited rules BJJ and grappling in general are the determining factors in who wins not who gets eye pokes or who gets kicked in the nuts. anyone can apply a groin kick or eye poke effectively, especially trained MMA fighters. If I can kick to the chest, legs and head I won't struggle to soccer kick someone to the nuts, or if I can punch someone to the face I won't struggle to poke them in the eye..... These are basic things that I shouldn't be telling people. These attacks take seconds to learn but to become a BJJ black belt takes years and Bruce would have been a BJJ black in the 80's in addition to his fantastic striking skills had he lived longer. Tommy Carruthers on the other hand has zero sparring footage of himself proving the effectiveness of his own skills. He only has demonstrations. The funny thing is eventhough he has segments of him punching fast (which doesn't prove that he hits hard or can actually fight) he has choreographed fights that show that he has really slow body movement and footwork when closing the distance. He also thinks he has surpassed Bruce Lee and the Bruce Lee family today hates him for that, but he doesn't need to prove so by actually fighting people, that's the type of person we're dealing with.

@@mrt445 That is just foolish of Tommy if that is the case, and yes I agree 110% Bruce would have incorporated bjj into JKD had he lived long enough. along with many other MA forms. Krav, silat ect.

@@Nez949 JKD is WC, boxing a fencing not the rest of the bull shit out there, tommy hits hard but is 62 now but still in incredible shape

Your comment is a sum of different assumptions without any solid basis. You are welcome to buy the hype. ​@urbcat

Why not post a video of Carruthers taking part in a real fight? If we had real evidence of his fighting ability, instead of demos and exhibitions, less people would talk smack.

And then WHAT?????????????? If that will make the Carruther faster? What a dump philosophy.

When was the last time anyone saw Tommy Carruthers fight full contact? He really isn't that good. He just shows demos but never demonstrates his skills by sparring with resisting opponents

@@mrt445 and like all the others like him he will never step up ,he looks good on film that's it ,real life ? Will never happen,all show and no go

@@kingdaleclarke Someone claiming to be one of his students told me that Tommy doesn't spar or fight full contact because he believes it doesn't simulate an actual street fight..... but apparently demonstrations on stationary opponents and talking about fighting somehow do...

I agree!

He'd get slept.

Carruthers is the man

He looks faster in some bits than others.

It would have been more professional of you to just send the uploader a private message with all the details of the infrigement they may or may not be guilty of.

вы сможете в реале так драться ??? Не является ли это всего лишь подражанием Брюсу ли? У брюса ли это реально получалось так как он занимался вин чун и имел ту наработанную реакцию которая появилась в результате долгих тренировок винн чун.

TOMMY CARRUTHERS omg troll

Shut up, fraud.

You volunteer?

leejou2 Why should he volunteer ? he never claimed that he can beat carruthers or that he is a fighter in the first place . But TC teaches people and pretends to be such a good fighter so it is normal that people want to see him fighting for real to convince ourselves ...thats just natural is it not ? All we see though is him with cooperative partners etc. I would like to see him fighting men like Shamrock , Bas Rutten , Dan Henderson , Marcos Maidana , Mark Hunt or whatever ..to prove himself ....until then you shouldnt be surprised that people write things like Arthur

Oh, he pretends? You would be suprissed after your nuts got cracked and lights got off.

leejou2 what kind of answer is that ?what does this have to do with ME ? I didnt say that I can beat him ..wtf ? I am just saying that if you want to show people how to fight you need to be a proven person . no matter how many nice fast moves you can do in front of a trainingspartner or in the air it is not enough to claim to be a good fighter you know ? you also go to a doctor when you are ill and not to a guy who claims that he knows medicine and tries to prove it to you that he knows medicine by showing how he can make a nice soup when you have a cold it is simple logic I dont understand what there is to misunderstand ....btw. maybe carruthers is one of the best fighters in the world ....who knows ...but as long as he doesnt prove it and actually shows how he is fighting then it is just talking nothing more with what can he back it up ? who has he fought ? who has he beaten ? any fight records ? and yes I know he was a boxer a long time ago but thats not what I mean ....thats "just sport" to you guys anyway so I want to know who has TC fought using JKD succesfully so his students , friends , people who question him and even enemies can see ? that would make things a lot easier for everybody including TC and dont come with the "he was a bouncer and beat people" stuff ...I know people who havent trained much or anything at all and kicked ass on the street ....beating some drunk ass troublemakers in front of a club doesnt prove that he is a good fighter I want to see him to take on a "sport fighter" like Jerome Lebanner , Mark Hunt , Overreeem , Anderson Silva , Dan Henderson etc. ...doesnt matter ...some kind of pro ...THEN people will say "ok that guy is really what his fans claim to be " you guys praise him as if he is god lol so then it is fair to demand that he fights good fighters to prove himself instead of some vids like this and stories how he beat scottish partypeople

I see you watch a lot of sports. When tommy fights he kicks in the nuts, knees and eye jabs. Thats what sportsmen never expects, becuase he trains in a set pattern of rules and doesnt look out side of it. Now see his speed. Thats how he eyjabs you. Thats what you never expect, nor silva, or henderson or who ever. the real fight happens outside of system rules and ring, where you dont know a persons abilyties and dont have time to try out. thats how tommy goes fast for groin, eyes, knees, whats ever first available. You would wonder, kid.

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. 1997) Therefore, we must understand that regardless of how many words we use to describe it, most will never grasp it. - Bruce Lee For every “quote” people like you like to use to justify your believe that JKD isn’t a martial art and JKD can be whatever you want it to be, I can find other quotes contradicting the one you posted. When looking at what Bruce said, the time and place he was when he said it matters. Taking a quote from 1967 and taking another from 1973 doesn’t work.

@@axelstone3131 You just responded to a 14 year old comment and yet somehow still managed to assume I'm someone saying something for reasons that I'm not. Good luck in life.

@@Raptor03042 you quoted Bruce to infer that saying it is martial art is wrong. Got to call out the bullshit when I see it. You condescending prick.
