Did you notice that Bruce was mostly counterpunching? He was not initiating a lot of the attacks.
@michael cooper Bruce tended to counterpunch. Ironically, it's not part of Wing Chun, but he was so perceptive and fast that he could pull it off.
@michael cooper Mountains of evidence. Ask Dan Innosanto.
@michael cooper Wow, guess you don't know what you're talking about.
@michael cooper Bruce Lee's brainwashed fans will never get it
I have to smile when I read comments suggesting that Bruce was just an actor. I am an old man who was practicing when Bruce was active. One of Bruce's friends was the pioneer TaeKwonDo instructor, Jhoon Rhee. Jhoon said Bruce would come over to his house and they would workout til 5 or 6 in the morning. I had the opportunity to spar with Jhoon's son, Jimmy one time. Jimmy launched a lunching front kick at me that I saw coming but was just too fast for me to avoid. I remarked that now I had a little insight as to how fast Bruce Lee was. Jimmy, who knew Bruce from his visits to their house, laughed and said that Bruce was so much faster than he was. After seeing Jimmy's speed I could barely imagine how fast Bruce must be if Jimmy thought he was "so much faster" than him. Bruce Lee was a martial artist first that got into acting and not just and actor.
Yes he was a martial artist, living for his art. However it's fair to say he lived in an era without full contact inter disciplinary fighting. So we can't know how effective his style really was against other well trained fighters.
@@spiritualanarchist8162 Not comparing him to modern fighters, but he sparred and fought people from various styles, including Western boxers. Search John Little on Bruce Lee and Joey Orbillio. He also had students who were amateur boxing competitors.
@@bertt1055 Sure i know .And i'm not saying Bruce Lee wasn't a great martial art's expert. I'm just saying he did a lot of sparring, and was obviously effective . we don't know how he would have held up in an actual fight. Because actual mma fights weren't allowed back then.
My grandmaster is none other than the late Jhoon Rhee himself. My master speaks to me of the much love and respect Jhoon had for Bruce and how sad Jhoon was when Bruce passed away. I feel a lot of Bruce's influences are also very much apparent in the style of TKD my own master teaches me, which is very non-traditional.
@@bertt1055 avoided them thai fellas though lol 😆
I met him in 1968 in long beach California when he demonstrated his stile he was the fastest man I ever saw in my life after the tournament he came to my dojo and gave us some lessons our style was San su kung fu
That is amazing! What was that experience like? Apparently he fought different from the movies vs his sparring vs his challenge matches
He really did use simple techniques to get the point down as he said in his works. The ugly moves are the most effective. That's so cool how you were able to meet him
@@joeb.director5067 other martial artists who spared Bruce said he didn't move as fast and not very fancy in reality. People watch his movies and think that was the way he faught and forget that movies are not real he did those amazing moves many times until the scene looked good.
@@cartorx1261 Not true, Joe Lewis described Bruce Lee as the fastest man to have stood in front of him & said he was incredibly powerful & hit as hard as a heavyweight, only only did Lee have speed & power but had the inner confidence to muster the conviction to do so, which is rare, as quite often an athlete may have one attribute & not the other, but Lee had all, just like Muhammad Ali.
Yean but even in 1968 every high level martial competitor would kick his ass, his style is just a demo. Though all competitors are awful actors.
The way of the intercepting fist or foot. His technique is to strike before being struck. Not telegraphing at all. In southpaw stance even though he's right-handed in order to have his strong side forward. I've adopted this too. Much of what he taught is a revelation and still relevant today. Also he is going easy on his student here.
The best fighters can read what their opponents are going to do well. Some fighters have very telegraphed moves but having fast hand eye coordination and knowing how to balance distance between self and opponent well from ranged kicks to close range hook moves and throws. Mostly its better to be not too close so if they step forward can catch them quick with a kick or sweep because their next move will be a defensive counter but if they in the middle of a step forward they already in mid action which makes them more vulnerable to a strike to knock them off balance . Power isn't the be all of fighting it's more about physical balance to react or act that makes the biggest difference. If a heavy dude tried fighting a small guy if his balance is all over the place in comparison to the lightweight guy, his own brute strength can be more of a handicap than a benefit.
That's what I love most about Bruce's way of thinking. After I knew that, I started to get real comfortable in southy & then trained to switch between the two mid attack or defense.
It's very unorthodox an hard to attack or defend !!!
Bruce Lee was known for intentionally "exposing his center", as he wanted the attacker to try there. Many of his defensive moves were strategized around that. He could only do that bc he was so quick!
I am no expert but Wing Tsun does operate with a more frontal style than traditional Karate.
Bingo.
He only has one fight on record. Sanctioned boxing match when he was ten.
In this demo Bruce was eating shorts to the body and face so the defence is lacking this is was it shows and his attack is not there just counter attack only, his sparing partner is telegraphing shots to let Bruce prepare this was so setup it's not a fight. And all the protection on Bruce why? It shows he wasn't a profession but an amateur.
Attack by drawing
The unsung hero in Jeet Kune Do.I do believe Bruces younger brother Robert introduced Bruce to fencing which is how Bruce closed the distance....
To be fair, he is THE most sung hero of Jeet Kune do, and probably of all martial arts!
You mean Robert?
@@LachimusPrime yes
Excellent observation, Sensei. JKD stance is based on fencing, narrowing the body to reduce target for your opponent to aim. Also, the rear leg acts like a spring, cocked ready to launch forward when administering a jab. I trained in JKD for a short time, the principles behind in each movement was carefully examined by Bruce Lee before applying it to his form. It does look very showboating but when you’re actually sparring it does make a whole lot of sense.
His techniques were primarily against Karate as Karate was very popular then. But like all things, as it becomes prevalent the base techniques becomes predictable & very open to counters. His whole philosophy was things had to constantly evolve & change to be successful.
yep that is the philosophy of jeet kune do
“Let the future tell the truth, and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I have really worked, is mine.”
― Nikola Tesla
I believe his techniques were primarily against Wu Shu, because that was the tradition he was schooled in.
@@spiritualanarchist8162 no it was wing chun and shaolin boxing
@@H.haru_u I believe Wu Shu is a general term used for every Chinese fighting style . Like 'Martial arts ' in the English language .
My grandfather once met him (he was a master/owner of a Kenpo dojo) Bruce Lee was a practitioner of several martial arts styles including but not limited to Wing Chun, european fencing, and Greco roman wrestling.
He really does move like a fencer, and his outreached hand with very little coverage for his center reminds me of something called a Fools Guard, keeping your sword low and seemingly wide open but it's actually the starting position for many attacks and gives you an unobstructed view of your opponent, while also giving your opponent a too-easy target that most would try to take advantage of. It's a bit risky if you're not very practiced at it, but I guess of you're as fast as Bruce then it doesnt matter. Not to mention Wing Chung mostly attacks at the center line anyways as a means of defense while attacking so another reason the center isnt as guarded
Interesting. Now that you said it, as a firmer HS wrestler, I can see the wrestling influence. It's subtle but there.
It’s very cool watching your breakdowns. I’ve been in martial arts 30 years, your breakdowns are very good.
I've trained in Aikido... The way Bruce Lee handles Ma-ai is fascinating to watch... it's almost like he is making the opponent over reach and breaking his own balance. Always a treat to watch Bruce Lee.. so much to learn and incorporate into your own systems and training! .. And great work Sensei!
I really love your channel. Very friendly and level headed.
Bruce Lee got his start with Wing Chun under the tutelage of Sifu Yip Man. He began to feel his style was limited when he wasn't able to defeat an opponent quickly. It was at that time he began really branching out.
He actually learned from Wong Shun Leung. Ip man didn’t directly teach him.
@@skularatna8136 I've always understood it as Sifu Yip received the credit because he was the master of the school. I had to research Wong Shun-Leung, and found a translated letter from Bruce to Wong.
"I thank you and Master for teaching me the ways of Wing Chun in Hong Kong."
This suggests to me that Master Yip and Wong (wether directly or indirectly) trained Bruce Lee.
Can we agree on this?
The stance and moving around is like a fencer, but the moment he attacks and in close quarters the style changes to Wing Chun.
Wrong, he was trained by Wong Shun Leung and most stories told about Ip Man and Bruce are actually about him.
5:01 i also like bruce lee's awareness of his surroundings. he kicks away the boxing pad while simultaneously concentrating on the fight. not many fighters have such situational awareness and peripheral vision.
That just slided, he wasnt aware of nothing hahaha, he did tho get to the center of the matt, to avoid stepping on it a second time.
@@Covac713 nah he turned his left foot in the direction of the boxing pad intentionally and pushed it further to the left.
My biggest regret in life is that I was never able to learn any form of martial art. I do know fighting though, and in my experience confidence is usually something built over success. Bruce seemed very confident, not arrogant. Confidence is what I've seen him show in interviews and even in these sparring matches. That's a sign of someone who is very comfortable with what they are doing.
That doesn't have to remain a regret if you go out and start learning. Thankfully in today's world there are a ton of resources from forums to google reviews to find a local (or online!) dojo that teaches the style that interests you. The first step is to just make that call or text.
Why wasnt you able to learn it? And its never too late.
well it was a demo with his student.
Bruce is one of the few people who can afford using kicks aimed at upper Body Parts vs a fresh, prepared and experienced oppontent. His kicks are really lightning fast
Distance control and minimal motion. You've given me a lot to think about, thank you.
I'm so glad I watched this video just because I finally learned your age. Helps me understand a little bit more about you, other than you're Asian and I'm American. I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! I find you thru karate kid today and I'm binge watching your karate kid/ cobra kia videos. New sub for 2022! Can't wait to see more of your season 4 cobra kia uploads.
It's very interesting to watch this video while listening to detailed explanations 👍.
Great video,
Interesting to see a professional break it down.
I remember growing up watching different martial arts movies on TV. Whenever I went to my grandparents house, there was some martial arts movie on. Bruce Lee was one person I would see a lot of on TV. That's the first time I ever saw him. And ever since, I've watched a bunch of his movies. It's thanks to my parents that I learned of him.
Congrats to you. Great job. A hug to you from Chile 🇨🇱 South America.🤗
Great video! It would interesting to hear your take on the karate fight scenes from the first Ip Man film. Where you have Donnie Yen using wing chun taking on karate experts
I have been interested in Bruce Lee since my high school years from the mid 1960s. Bruce Lee studied sword fencing also.
I learned Lee's independent motion (weapon first) for back knuckle, reverse punch, and lead leg kick. they work very well to this day.
Tao of jkd has judo/jiu-jitsu, wrestling, muay thai, western boxing, etc. All the main styles of modern MMA. Lee was a mixed martial artist and VERY much, ahead of his time!
I love your videos...Keep up the great work
I have just come across your channel and I love it 👌 I studied Shotokan in the UK from 8 till 14 years old, then basketball took over my life. Then as a young adult I struggled with alcohol addiction, I will say with all honesty, that martial arts saved my life! I found a local Wing Chun school, and I've not looked back.. I very much like your videos 👍👍 keep it up 👏🙏🏻
I really enjoy your content and presence thank you
Brilliant video! Very impressed 👏
Like your videos man, keep them coming bro!
Yusuke I Love your Videos its awesome! I studied Muay Thai for years and Escrima and also jiu-jitsu also did Boxing but never get to study Shotokan Karate because in Baseball I injured my knee but I never stop practicing the art I even taught my kids. be blessed and to your family🥋👊🥊🥋
Bruce trained in fencing and used it as a core principle in his footwork philosophy. Controlling the distance is key in Jeet Kune Do. You should read the Tao of Jeet Kune Do and could you react to Dragon: A Bruce Lee Story?
Love your channel dude!
His speed was just unbelievable...So nice to watch!
Thats dope that you offer online lessons. I might have to look into that when I get $$$ cause we have a dojo near by but i dont wanna start taking it without knowing a thing ahahahaha.
I like your breakdown of the movements, and I'm 50 years old, through experience and watching Bruce Lee, with the placement of his arm slightly extended makes it for less movement and energy used to attack and defend, plus judgment of range or distance from opponent. Thanks for your breakdown of the fighting style of Bruce Lee may he rest in peace.
Fast, efficient, and confident. Very interesting to watch.
Bruce Lee was a expert fencer and dancer, so not a surprise he used those skills so well in his JKD. He had many fights, not just one featured. He fought on building tops in Hong Kong against gang members for real. He was the best martial artist the world has ever seen.
He had one confirmed fight as an adult. He did fight some of those roof top matches when he was a kid in Hong Kong.
he was not a fencer..that was his brother. He did have some kid fights. Maybe some were gang members but nobody really knows.
Like your videos. Keep it up bro!
Bruce Lee was actually a fencer, he was once quoted as say it was the most efficient martial art with no wasted movement.
Bruce was not a fencer, that was his brother.
"It's like fencing" Haha, what I was doing during sparring when I was being formally trained in Karate did end up being a lot more like fencing with a lot of "thrusts" and "parries" that looked more like a swipe of the hands than what we were drilled in to deflect a counter attack. It's funny to see someone else call it "fencing" too.
my legend , my hero ,bruce to me you are the one martial artist i looked up too!
The fencing analogy is very illuminating.
This isn’t a fight. It’s him light sparring one of his students at a demo.
obviously
@@whiteninjaseven But, every fanboy and hater hold this up as a fight. And then critique the crap out of it. Like it proves either of their points. Greatness or suckness. You would think working in the movie industry they would have recorded a lot more of his training.
This is a fight due to it being a student that bet he could hit Lee. It being padded and conducted as a sparring session was a courtesy. In a real fight Lee wouldn’t have waited for his opponent to regain. He would have finished him way earlier.
@@davetheguy1360 It’s a demo for the Long Beach Internationals. That’s his friend and long time student Ted Wong. Not a fight in any way.
@@davetheguy1360 This was strictly a demo and Joe Lewis admitted that Bruce Lee never had a real fight. It was all scripted
I have been a Bruce Lee fan for decades. I loved hearing your comments. I’d love to hear your commentary on his performances in some of his movies. He really hurt a karate expert who was in a movie with him, he apparently was upset with him about something..I can’t remember what that was now.
No retreat, no surrender
Always have been a Lee fan . When you watch this match , he is definitely like a defensive chess player and his opponents movements dictated his attack. Which is crazy because he seemed to have a lightning reaction attack for all their movements. Really wish there was more live matches of him to see how consistent he really was . Such a badazz 🤙
Cool work sir thank you very much 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Nice video, great content , ineresting.keepsafe sir.
Hello Sensei, First of all, thank you for the quality of your comments. I have a little question about your material, What is the model of your Rode microphone on this video?
Bruce was untouchable. Jim Kelly even said it. Rip Bruce you would be 81 if you were still with us. Your very missed.
as if Jim Kelly would know...there is a reason he made vague claims with no names or details. "trust me" doesnt work.
You’re a young teacher wow!
Hi Sensi,
Can you tell us what do you think of Kudo karate?
Thanks
I'm 49 and have no martial arts experience. When I was young I loved the films,since UA-cam I've watched loads of him...... He really was that good!!!!
1:22 Bruce leaves a target wide open for his opponent on purpose. His long guard is just a mask. As you know, martial arts is based on deception. He is inviting his opponent to work to get through the guard at the target HE (Bruce) wishes. In this manner, Bruce ALWAYS has his opponent right where he wants him! He always lets his guard down too... a lot of people look at it as though he's showboating, but the directive in any fight is to end it. Inviting someone in at you opens the opportunity for a takedown.
It would be cool to see you breakdown a Michael venom page fight. He competed in point karate before mma
As a kid I used to take taekwondo lessons and one every tournament that I ever had not bragging now granted I was only in karate about two and a half years. What I remember most besides the great counter fighting was meditation and that's something I am deeply looking to get back into as I suffer from anxiety
I like your analysis.
I want Bruce Lee's scene from the "Fist of Fury" movie, when he's got in the Dojo, and clushes with the fighters there.
My impression is that Lee prefers to allow the opponent to initiate the attack. This allows him the ability to analyze his opponents ability and style.
He strikes me as someone who wants his opponent to 'know' he's got him. He lulls people into making a forced movement that opens up that person to vulnerabilities? Is he that type of person?
Hi there, I’m new to your videos, started yesterday. Can you do a video on Bruce Lee’s speed. ;) I’m curious to see your reaction and also his training :)
4:56 - I love this moment right here. I thought the video glitched. It didn't. It was just Bruce Lee teleporting himself back to his stance.
Great vdo ty
Great video
The dojo my friend teaches at wingchug here that shefu worked with Lee and IP man guy..
I would personally would love to see things on Aikido, Hapkido, Ninjitsu, and the Famous Dim Mak (Death Touch).
Bruce Lee had much greater attributes in speed, reactions and timing than most people. These two sparring sessions were demonstrations with two of Bruce Lee's students during a Karate competition in which Bruce Lee was invited as a guest for Kung Fu demonstration.
nonsense. no evidence
@@eagles3869 Your comment is nonsense, and has no real rebuttal
''Going in when the opponent starts to move'' -- That's exactly why it's called Jeet Kune Do (The way of the intercepting fist).
Bruce Lee would intercept with counter attacks, pretty much like in Wing Chun. The reason why he was so good was because of his speed.
You cannot intercept the way he did if you're slow. Bruce Lee's speed was incredible and I think that's what made him good.
He uses a lot of Jeet Kune Do techniques in the way of the dragon against Chuck Norris. Which is interesting because this fight scene looks like a Shotokan/Kickboxing (point fighting) fight vs Jeet Kune Do. Of course, it's a movie so I'm not saying that's what would happen in a real Shotokan vs JKD match but Bruce Lee was very intelligent in the way he produced his fight choreographies.
He also was very good at learning an opponent. That’s why he loved to spar with good fighters. It would improve Bruce Lee’s fighting skills. Yes he definitely had elite speed, but he also had incredible power for a man his weight. He also built a lot of leg strength. This video was before he learned so much more, although he’s in better health at that time, before he severely hurt his back.
Hi Yusuke. I'm having difficulty with a technique, for shito ryu's rohai we do a jumping 360 mikazuki geri from neko dachi. I don't see any videos on this particular technique and would love some pointers. I know I have to jump and kick with the same leg, but can't get the 360 turn down, only ending at 240 degrees or sometimes 180. Any tips?
We do similar in Shotokan's Meikyo
Sorry that's a 180, check our Empi, Kanku Sho and Unsu.
A right hook kick would of been great. His opponent keeps his hands low and he keeps looking for the low kicks. A fake right leg roundhouse into a hook kick to the head seems awesome! But I'm an old Monday morning quarterback..if u get the reference
Have you done a video on the One-Inch Punch?
GOOD breakdown...
Hello, from Texas!! 🖖
1:57 Now that’s what I called Wing Chun thanks to Ip man who taught this legend.
This is more a light sparring exhibition than a fight, but interesting to see. Some of his quick moves are very impressive.
A lot of people don't realize he took several kinds of dance lessons at an early age. He really understood how the body moves (body mechanics). Unfortunately, he was addicted to speed later in life. He died way too early.
What do you mean “unfortunately?” Speed is also a good thing, Bruce Lee was also training on his body mechanics.
@@AdamRee-lx8uh that’s not the speed he meant lmao. cocaina
I like your reactions. You have a unique perspective. Would you please react to IP man? He is one of my favorite martial artists
'Bruce Lee is the Father of MMA' - Dana White
'Absorb what is useful, discard what is not, add what is uniquely your own. Be water my friend' - Bruce Lee
The water quote was actually really poetic.
I think he also says about how water can flow and crash.
+)
@@nooneishere123 Indeed 🌊
MMA existed before Bruce Lee was even born
The water principle is an old kung fu one!
Bruce was so fast. Like lightning quick.
I have a ? Did a miner disk bolg of the l5 s1 can I still train with this not sure and looking for genuine advise
You mentioned fencing. Bruce Lee drew on fencing skills for his JKD footwork and parries. This video shows that nicely.
Please keep in mind: This "sparring match" is a demonstration!
Sensei, you have to watch the fight between Bruce Lee and chuck norris in either enter the dragon or return of the dragon
Interesting, i am right handed but always liked to fight southpaw, always made sense to me have the right forward to measure and deliver fast power because it is very easy to change stance after the opponent throws.
Tyson would do that a lot if you watch him, fast feet like Bruce.
good work
If you looked into the concept of jeet kun do it means way of intercepting fist. It was not American but created by bruce Lee himself
Have you done reactions on karate based MMA fighters such GSP, Lyoto Machida or Stephen Thompson. Would be cool to see at least their highlights
My son is Wado ryu black belt. What’s the biggest differences between other forms of Karate Shotokan/Wado ect?Thanks 🙏
you can do a video reacting to ip man, where there is a japanese general that does shotokan karate
What are your thoughts on the 1 inch punch?
Need to check out blood and bone. With Michael J. White
Jet Li's VERSION of Fist of Fury....Fist of Legend has a direct reference (veiled) to Gichin Funikoshi, if I am spelling that right. If you have not seen the movie, you probably enjoy it.
Would you consider doing a reaction to the full movie, "Enter The Dragon"?
Do you have any 360 camera angles for your training videos because at least here say I can watch music video I can watch it on UA-cam and take my finger and move the camera 360° because when it comes to training videos it's only 2D
Bruce Was also a Fencer an a Champion 🏆Dancer !!! You can see him incorporate it into his martial arts 🥋 !!!
Perfect example that you can become a badass, growing up a rich kid…
Bruce was not a fencer..that was his brother.
That dude was telegraphing all his moves
Bruce Lee practiced karate with Chuck Norris. It’s amazing how fast Bruce could hit his opponent with a roundhouse and short range. I have seen that video before but never noticed that roundhouse till now because it was so fast. He also had really good control. It’s one thing to throw a roundhouse to the head but it’s another thing to physically stop the motion.
It's my understanding that JKD was developed primarily around formless efficiency. Perhaps we see this in the simple stance and an emphasis on distance for a direct attack at the right time with the minimum fuss. Domo arigato gozaimashita.
And his older brother was a fencer. He based his stance on fencing because he could lead with his strong leg and hide a shuffle forward be moving the rear leg in. Very sneaky trick
Those sparrings were in Long Beach Karate Tournaments with Dan Inosanto (first) and Taky Mura (second) both his students, there are many interviews with some of his pupils, Joe Lewis talks that Bruce Lee could hit like a Heavy weight, Jim Kelly, and so on. Bruce Lee was a Legend and people picked up martial arts because of him, not so much from Karate Kid. Master Lee took distancing from fencing, kicks and punches from french savat northern and southern Kung fu styles, wing chun, western boxing(Bruce was a former Hong Kong boxing champion), pank silat, indonesia martial arts, Karate, jiujitsu, etc. Thanks for this review Master!! Greetings from México.
"Bruce was a former Hong Kong boxing champion"...more accurate he won a single match in a high school boxing tournament. It was the finals so he was the champion.
