I was told by my professor that Al Tracy's of Tracy's Kenpo Karate really wanted to spar with Bruce Lee in real life and he was a student of Ed Parker and Dan was a student has well
Not only that, but during that time, the only Kenpo karate grandmaster was Edmund K Parker, which was the guy that sponsored the international Kenpo karate Association tournament, and after the tournament, he introduced Bruce Lee to the people they got him started in the movie, The Green hornet, Edmund, Parker Senior is the one that introduced Bruce Lee to Hollywood.
The only kenpo grandmaster I know of from that era was Ed Parker. Its not like true grandmasters grow on trees. They are rare. And Parker and Bruce were friends.
These guys who run these fake Bruce Lee story channels always inflate someone's credentials when they actually "tell the truth." If a guy is a 6th degree black belt 40 years later, they say that was his rank when he met Bruce Lee.
I’m a big fan of Bruce, and all things related to his amazing life. I love all his fight scenes and he was blindingly fast, thanks for doing the hard work of back checking this tale
I've heard that Bruce Lee and Ed Parker were friends and Ed Parker gave Bruce Lee a 8mm film of a Savate match that influenced Bruce Lee's kicking style
As a young Kenpo student I was fortunate to have spent an entire evening talking with Ed Parker in the late 80's. He had been teaching us all in the afternoon, and I was able to join him at his table following dinner where he talked for a couple hours. By the end of the evening there were just about 5 of us left and he was teaching us Kenpo in the parking lot. We did get him to talk to us about Bruce for a while. Yes, he and Bruce were friends and Ed had great respect for his technique... and his speed which he felt was unmatched. And that says a lot coming from Master Parker... who was the fastest fighter I have ever seen... amazing to see what he can do when you are standing right beside him. He demonstrated on one of my fellow students... the technique started with an eye rake that swept the guys glasses from his face... he hit him about 4 or 5 times.. saw the glasses falling to the floor... looked at them... PAUSED... and then reached down an grabbed them before they hit the floor. And to prove it wasn't a fluke he repeated it a second time. And this was just a few years before he died. So Parker was FAST.. and he was amazed at how fast Bruce was. I am reluctant to repeat it... but he said Bruce was the only guy he had met that could actually make the air pop. I should probably check with one of my friends who was also there at the time, but yeah, as I recall that is what he said.
Great video man!! You have the best Bruce Lee based UA-cam channel. Great information and well worded content each episode. May GOD bless you with much more success. Thanks for sharing man. Keep up the fantastic work.
Great video brother. Thank you for being a real one amongst the many delusional peeps. I am truly grateful there are people like you using this platform to speak truth.
I'm happy that you are coming from this perspective. The myths have turned me off. You do a good job of this Great Asset to the spread of martial arts.
I wasnt but there were enough people who were to state this is a myth. Do you know who Ed Parker is? He stated it was a myth. Dan Inosanto stated it was a myth...we can go on and on.
Brother 🔔 keep putting out this awesome content, the more Bruce the better. It's just a testament to his impact that he's so relevant all these years later 🥃
I’m a JKD practitioner and I’ve been a martial artist for 53 yrs, and I’ve heard some interesting Bruce Lee stories from people who were present at the incidents. I wouldn’t be surprised if Lee knocked someone flat with a 1” punch. The punch is not very useable unless you train hard to do it 4 time a week or more for a long time. The punch is a demo technique, but I’m sure the Bruce Lee could have made it work.
The universal church of JKD/ Bruce Lee worship has made a lot of people lose respect for Wing Chun, JKD, and even Kung Fu in general, including myself. This channel has made me personally gain more respect for those various Kung Fu practitioners who realize that Bruce was a MAN, not a superhero. His contributions to martial arts were groundbreaking and his movies helped inspire millions. RESPECT! From a Muay Thai and Jiu-jitsu practitioner and martial arts hobbyist!
Bruce Lee stories I heard growing up in the 1970's. -Bruce trained 22 hours a day -Bruce's arm bones replaced with metal -Bruce only ate raw deer meat and drank deer blood
I went to high school in the 1980's in Texas. We played a team that had a future NFL hall of fame player on their team. It did indeed seem like the guy was super human. We were good as a team, had over 15 players get div 1 NCAA scholarships. We went to state playoffs. But they pulled him out at halftime as they already had a five touch down lead on us. So, yes, there are super humans. Don't doubt it.
An NFL athlete is in the top 1% of all athletes. When I first learned how to edit video, John Henderson, who went on to play for the Jacksonville Jaguars, was in the room with me. He broke the best chair at the editor because he was so big. In middle school, he was known as "Baby Shaq" because he was dunking on people in the 8th grade. I worked out at the same gym once as Keith Bullock, a linebacker for the Titans. Even in his last year in the NFL as "an old man," he was one of the most shredded people I've ever seen. A kung-fu friend of mine, in my same style, used to take 2 classes a week at an MMA gym just to stay humble. He said that you could always tell the people who are likely going to become pros from everyone else - they just move better, react quicker, and hit harder than everyone else.
I was in middle school ( junior high ) when Bruce Lee died. I went to go see Enter the Dragon when it premiered , my mom got me in, then she left and I sat with all my friends. 🎬
In reality, there tends to be less and less knowledge about a person as time passes, not more and more. Give it 2000 years, and Bruce Lee will have walked on water.
Many stories change overtime from the original story. With the Buddha, I believed that he was an ordinary man that achieved significant spiritual wisdom, but was still a regular man. Later on, many legends arised that how he made miracles and communicated with Hindu gods, but they came many years after his lifetime
Ed Parker often hosted these big tournaments. I believe he and Bruce were friends if not friendly. Dan Inosanto was a ranking student under Ed Parker before he met Bruce. This explains his use of the gi he is wearing in the foto. It would be nice if the Bruce Lee estate would shut down the Beerdy idiot, but maybe controversy also keeps the legends name and real accomplishment alive as well as sought.
I had a chance to buy the Gung Fu book but passed it up. Now I regret that decision. I was studying karate-do on my own back then. That book would have been so much help and I would have learned much more than I did even with a sensei.
Bruce had alot of speed and his Kia was cat like ,plus his hand techniques were awesome ,wish he would have gotten old with all of us , it was weird wat happened to him
Sooner or later the truth will expose of mr lee. It’s just that at the time in the 60’s that many people weren’t studying martial arts and which gave mr lee a leverage on everything. He’s a famous film actor and no more. End of argument
If I already posted this or a similar comment, my apologies. I dont know why so many people have a problem with Lee's supposed abilities. I'm no martial arts expert. But, I saw onscreen evidence that he must have done what he claimed: that is, he scoured the many styles out there. Then, included anything that might have given him an edge, into his own style. For instance, I was blind to a statement he made several times. That is, that he incorporated fencing into his technique. Fencing? What does that have to do with Asian martial arts? A lot, if you're paying attention. It's easy to see that if you watch his footwork. Fencing uses very specific footwork to very-quickly close the distance for an attack. Then, uses more of the same to make a very-hasty retreat. There are foot slides, skips, and shuffles involved. As a newbie, I used some of them myself. And, they worked. There are many other examples. Western boxers learn how to inflict maximum punching power based on weight distribution, twisting from the rear foot through the hips, and other things I know only a little about. But, BL saw the potential there, and included it. And, while taekwondo is somewhat limited in its 'pure form' of mostly kicks, blocks, and punches, the kicking techiques it uses can deliver maximum power, if kicking is what's needed. The list goes on. While a famous Aikido practioner who shall remain nameless is said to be a fake, or worse, the joint hyper-flexion techniques he uses, such as bending an elbow far past its normal limit of travel, in the wrong direction, would quickly disable an attacker. At least, with the small amount of it I learned, it looks that way to me. I think all Bruce Lee screen footage should have a sign that reads: "The capabilities demonstrated here were as of June 1973, when he died". I think it frames them in the proper context. Like, what were others doing in that same time capsule? And, what would he be doing later, if he went on living? Some of what made Bruce Lee popular was about style and flair. You know, a dose of showmanship. Muhammad Ali did some of the same. He could deliver the goods. But, his rope a dope and 'floating' around the ring made him more fun to watch, for many people. He wasn't big. But, those who knew him said he had great power, and pound-for-pound strength. I remember the old adage: Its not the dog in the fight. Its the fight in the dog. The disfigured knuckles on his hands told me he must have been serious when it came to training and dedication. I couldn't have done it. This last comment has nothing to do with Bruce Lee. But, it is related to martial arts. And, I've got to put it somewhere. Back in 1993 or 1994, I was just learning taekwondo. And, I was trying to soak up anything I could, that might improve my capabilities. However, I wasn't comfortable in training philosophies that dealt with what I would call, "mystical" abilities. You know--techniques that supposedly enabled someone to knock down an opponent without touching them. That sort of thing. I found mention in one of the magazines that said you could buy a training book by Joe Lewis, the martial artist. It gave a phone number. And, I called it. The man who answered said I called the right place. When I asked him for his name, he said, "Joe Lewis. It's me. Its my book". I was very surprised. But, he sounded legitimate to me. I figured I'd see it through. After a few questions, I asked if I had to learn anything sort of mystical to benefit from the book. He was polite about it. And, he apparently understood the question. He said someone once asked him to teach him 'the helicopter'. He asked what they meant. He said, they meant they wanted to learn to hover above the floor. He assured me it wasnt part of his teaching curriculum. I know this must read like a bogus account. All I can say is that he was convincing. I don't remember if I bought his book, or not. I was going through a divorce. And, my ability to focus was strained. But, after all that, I hope I did. Whoever was on the phone seemed to be a pretty good guy. 😅
We will never know if he was any good. He never fought or was measured in a structured fighting environment like the ufc as an example. He was smart to take the tv money though.
Since the guy in Beerdy's photo was Dan Inosanto, and one of Bruce's close friends, I'm sure he would find the whole story ridiculous. Mr. Inosanto was, I believe a first degree Kenpo black belt, under Ed Parker, who at the time I doubt would have even called himself a "Grand Master" since his teacher, William Chow, was still alive. Parker was the one who initially introduced Dan Inosanto to Bruce and asked him to show Bruce around Pasadena and assist him with his Jeet Kune Do demos. They went on to become close friends and Inosanto eventually left Parker to become Bruce's student and eventually assistant instructor. Dan Inosanto definitely deserves to be called Grand Master now, but he was not back in the 1960s. At that time he was a young first (or maybe second) degree black belt under Master Ed Parker.
Bruce Lee was a cha cha champion in HK. That's a reason why his footwork was good. His wife said his fight scenes in his movies were real. She added he practised v v much and regularly. Another thing to learn from him.
Why do these fake stories captivate so many Bruce Lee fans? Because they so desperately want to believe that the stuff they see in movies, particularly his movies, is real! They want to believe that he could really fight in real life the way he did in his movies. On another note, if Beerdy says it, you can basically assume it's made up BS. 😂
my name is rico paone 1968 grand champion kumite 1969 grand champion kumite, i worked out against bruce lee and beat jim kelly in a tournament, Thank You, Rico G. Paone
The Grand Master was Ed Parker. He did spar with Ed Parker, he did impress Ed Parker. The story you are conveying was a kenpo student, not a grand master. Ed Parker was and is the Grand Master of true Kenpo.
Well Beerdy is giving us content by giving us footage and he provides you with content to debunk. And us the viewer wins! You guys are like Batman and Joker… you need each other lol
I actually trained with a guy who fought Bruce Lee. I don't remember his last name but his first name was Merle. He said Bruce Lee beat him easily and he held the world title. So telling me that you don't believe that Bruce Lee could take Eddie Parker down you don't know anything about Bruce Lee.
@@georgeyarbrough88 Another fairytale. I know a guy, I know a guy, he told me that and that......-tired of hearing it. Bruce Lee was the greatest martial artist of all time but he was no fighter.
I'm third generation from Mr. Parker. There was not an actual fight between Bruce Lee and Mr. Parker. They were well acquainted with each other and would not have been in a fight. Keep in mind Mr. Parker is the founder of American Kenpo.
I've heard some fighters talk like they've never been beat. If you never been beat then you never been in a fight. Rising up to the challenge of our rivals as the song says. Praising the elite after the fact with the struggles they paid to get there disregarded as some shameful less than perfect secret.
When you think about it the main topic about Bruce is can he beat up everybody. At this point I really don’t care but it’s getting more fun out of life which is something Martial arts is not associated with. But isn’t that the juice which fuels the fire of life. It might be but most seem to only be concerned about who’s the king of the hill. But in a world of peace where no life is in threat then the most important aspects of the arts will be practiced.
I have to wonder if this HAD occurred if Bruce Lee would have even bothered.. in his writings and philosophies it always seemed he was above such things.. I always wonder how many real “legends” are still out there and never found because their art take precedence over notoriety?
Thank you so much for going beyond the myth of Bruce Lee and delving into the realities of the man and his truly astonishing accomplishments. I am a huge fan of his since childhood and over 50 years since his passing in 1973. I don’t know if you read John Little’s Wrath of the Dragon book, but is is a most fascinating read about numerous real fights Mr. Lee had. Hope you will discuss it on your channel one day.
Actually Golden Bell, Dan Inosanto was a student of Kenpo Founder Ed Parker. I don't think Bruce ever had spar with a Kenpo practicaner. Dan & Bruce formed a great friendship, Grand Guro Inosanto is God father to Lee's children Brandon & Shannon. Even trained Brandon in JKD!! I regard Sifu as The Living Father of Jeet Kune Do.. Furthermore, I believe he's the last 1 left of Bruce's original teaching instructors
I know that his father died, and he went back to Hong Kong. But maybe he went straight back tot the states after that? I don't know. I knew he did movies in China as well, so maybe he decided to stay there for a while and do these movies, since making it in Hollywood was pretty difficult for him.
Bruce Lee train with ip Man. Bruce Lee good fight. And numerous martial artists of the time here did have sparring matches with Bruce and lost. People doubting because he didn't fight in tournaments. What tournaments would have called a lot of Bruce's hits illegal. Bruce Lee was a real martial artist fighter.
I noticed on the thumbnail you put a picture of Ed Parker facing off against Bruce Lee. Of course, if that ever did happen, I don’t think it would have ended well for Bruce. Parker was incredibly fast as well and at least twice Bruce’s size.
Where I was growing up in Asian Country Bruce Lee was my super star idol ‘& I’m not here for telling y’all story. ,but just to give little examples: like Muhammad Ali, & Manny Pacquiao, The “GOAT“right? but they are both got beats in the ring too Right? It’s all about in the rings and out side the ring. the excepting from fans & people around the world. “”That’s A greatest””!! Just A short example.!! A.B.🐘 🦅🇺🇸
Why not tell a story about a Filipino named Trouvador Ramos who beat Bruce in their "sparring" In fact this Filipino don't want to accept the challenge But Bruce.really want to " scale"the toughness of this Filipino And lately.this Filipino( a musician) is now based in Hong Kong ( wish that he is still " kicking") Thank you ( waiting.
3-23-24 Dear Beery and Prince on that Facebook You Tube video , Iam pleased and happy that the false stories on Bruce Lee are were replaced with facts!I remember seeing Bruce Lee and saw him in the Green Hornet in the Sixties when I was in grade school.I wasn't aware of the false stories Signed, Keith P.Cooper
I really feel spiritual and Godly wisdom understanding that 95% of people on this earth always believe lies over the truth. But what really kills people life and timetable is those like this one who spent all his life to assisinate a Legendary superhuman like Bruce Lee. Who truly was a spiritual wise martial artist that existed and performed in such a short life. But that been over 50 years ago and that's how long he been dead. Now people like this one devote his whole life to prove stories on Bruce Lee was fake. Who cares after over a half a century. Life should be like I who believes In the 5 percenter and just live with peace, truth and observation.
The guy in the black gi claims in a video i seen along with alot of others that when bruce threw the punches he eas able to block them and it shocked bruce and the audience which was clearly bullshit cuz when you watch it even Ray Charles can see he couldn't block the punches .Its funny how none of these claims were there when Bruce was alive.

I was told by my professor that Al Tracy's of Tracy's Kenpo Karate really wanted to spar with Bruce Lee in real life and he was a student of Ed Parker and Dan was a student has well
I hate the fact that there are crazy fans who made up stories about Bruce.

Bruce Lee was no joke, he could be a very dangerous person. Bruce was incredible.
The only kenpo grandmaster I know of from that era was Ed Parker. Its not like true grandmasters grow on trees. They are rare. And Parker and Bruce were friends.
These guys who run these fake Bruce Lee story channels always inflate someone's credentials when they actually "tell the truth."
If a guy is a 6th degree black belt 40 years later, they say that was his rank when he met Bruce Lee.
Kenpo is blend of karate and kung fu with modern fighting styles also like boxing and japanese jujutsu
Ed Parker wasn't even Grandmaster then.
I’m a big fan of Bruce, and all things related to his amazing life. I love all his fight scenes and he was blindingly fast, thanks for doing the hard work of back checking this tale
I've heard that Bruce Lee and Ed Parker were friends and Ed Parker gave Bruce Lee a 8mm film of a Savate match that influenced Bruce Lee's kicking style

Great video man!! You have the best Bruce Lee based UA-cam channel. Great information and well worded content each episode. May GOD bless you with much more success. Thanks for sharing man. Keep up the fantastic work.
I dig your content. Bruce Lee was so inspirational to so many people.
Great video brother. Thank you for being a real one amongst the many delusional peeps. I am truly grateful there are people like you using this platform to speak truth.
Excellent video! Keep them coming!
I'm happy that you are coming from this perspective. The myths have turned me off. You do a good job of this Great Asset to the spread of martial arts.
The thing that Bruce doesn't get credit for is that he opened the doors to non asian's and taught them kung fu.
An excellent point. Thank you 👍
another myth, you probably think the Wong Jack Man fight was over teaching westerners too.
@@cuzz63 well we weren't there, so I guess we'll never know.
I wasnt but there were enough people who were to state this is a myth. Do you know who Ed Parker is? He stated it was a myth. Dan Inosanto stated it was a myth...we can go on and on.
@@cuzz63 actually there's too many versions of the story pretty much depends on who you talk to.
Why the hell do I like your videos before even watching them...... brilliant that's why
Beerdy to me was never a credible source for real Bruce Lee information. Loved the video. Can't wait for more!👍
Brother 🔔 keep putting out this awesome content, the more Bruce the better. It's just a testament to his impact that he's so relevant all these years later 🥃
This is really the only channel of this genre i even delve into, especially with all the nonsense out there 🙌
Thanks for the amazing video ❤
Thanks Prince for another eye opener. You never cease to amaze with the truth. You are a raisin amongst the flakes. Lvya brother
Half a century after his departure, martial arts practitioners are still fascinated by his presence in this reality.
Good video man Bruce was ahead of times period
There was KAJUKENBO BEFORE JEETKUNDO
Thank you very much for your dedication to finding and reporting the truth about Bruce Lee stories 👍
Very well done Prince, you did your himework.

Who did you train JKD under?
PREACH BRO!! PREACH IT!! Keep telling the truth which is wayyy more intersection than these bs stories!! Can't wait for the next series!! Peace!!
Thank you for continuing to share the truth about Bruce Lee and Kung-fu. Love your videos. Can't wait for the next one.
Love your work outstanding stuff
I feel like when he talked about not wanting to be hung on a wall and bowed to, he was talking about his fears that this kind of thing might happen.
The universal church of JKD/ Bruce Lee worship has made a lot of people lose respect for Wing Chun, JKD, and even Kung Fu in general, including myself.
This channel has made me personally gain more respect for those various Kung Fu practitioners who realize that Bruce was a MAN, not a superhero.

Hi thanks for sharing your information about Bruce Lee
Bruce Lee stories I heard growing up in the 1970's.
-Bruce trained 22 hours a day
-Bruce's arm bones replaced with metal
-Bruce only ate raw deer meat and drank deer blood
U guys were poop butts.
I believe the fake stories damage the actual accomplishments.
I went to high school in the 1980's in Texas. We played a team that had a future NFL hall of fame player on their team. It did indeed seem like the guy was super human. We were good as a team, had over 15 players get div 1 NCAA scholarships. We went to state playoffs. But they pulled him out at halftime as they already had a five touch down lead on us.
So, yes, there are super humans. Don't doubt it.
A rare thing,usually it's the average guy with dedication that's rises above
I don't doubt it but that was before everyone started munching down on PEDs, there was no mistaken who the real giant men were back in the day.
An NFL athlete is in the top 1% of all athletes. When I first learned how to edit video, John Henderson, who went on to play for the Jacksonville Jaguars, was in the room with me.
He broke the best chair at the editor because he was so big.
In middle school, he was known as "Baby Shaq" because he was dunking on people in the 8th grade.
I worked out at the same gym once as Keith Bullock, a linebacker for the Titans. Even in his last year in the NFL as "an old man," he was one of the most shredded people I've ever seen.

They can do super human things then, right? @@GoldenbellTraining

Dude your the best!!!
Ed Parker often hosted these big tournaments. I believe he and Bruce were friends if not friendly. Dan Inosanto was a ranking student under Ed Parker before he met Bruce. This explains his use of the gi he is wearing in the foto. It would be nice if the Bruce Lee estate would shut down the Beerdy idiot, but maybe controversy also keeps the legends name and real accomplishment alive as well as sought.
Thanks. 👍🏻👊🏻
If Bruce Lee was alive in 1986,I would of challenged him to exhibition ,I just completed basic training for military,
I had a chance to buy the Gung Fu book but passed it up. Now I regret that decision. I was studying karate-do on my own back then. That book would have been so much help and I would have learned much more than I did even with a sensei.
Bruce was as good as thay say there is no question fantastic ❤❤❤❤
Bruce had alot of speed and his Kia was cat like ,plus his hand techniques were awesome ,wish he would have gotten old with all of us , it was weird wat happened to him

He’s a famous film actor and no more. End of argument
Shay checking in from dublin Ireland thank you ❤❤❤
Consider all the amazing things he did. There is no reason to lie about him.
If I already posted this or a similar comment, my apologies.
I dont know why so many people have a problem with Lee's supposed abilities. I'm no martial arts expert. But, I saw onscreen evidence that he must have done what he claimed: that is, he scoured the many styles out there. Then, included anything that might have given him an edge, into his own style.
For instance, I was blind to a statement he made several times. That is, that he incorporated fencing into his technique.
Fencing? What does that have to do with Asian martial arts?
A lot, if you're paying attention.
It's easy to see that if you watch his footwork.

And, while taekwondo is somewhat limited in its 'pure form' of mostly kicks, blocks, and punches, the kicking techiques it uses can deliver maximum power, if kicking is what's needed.
The list goes on.
While a famous Aikido practioner who shall remain nameless is said to be a fake, or worse, the joint hyper-flexion techniques he uses, such as bending an elbow far past its normal limit of travel, in the wrong direction, would quickly disable an attacker. At least, with the small amount of it I learned, it looks that way to me.
I think all Bruce Lee screen footage should have a sign that reads:
"The capabilities demonstrated here were as of June 1973, when he died". I think it frames them in the proper context. Like, what were others doing in that same time capsule? And, what would he be doing later, if he went on living?
Some of what made Bruce Lee popular was about style and flair. You know, a dose of showmanship.
Muhammad Ali did some of the same. He could deliver the goods. But, his rope a dope and 'floating' around the ring made him more fun to watch, for many people.
He wasn't big. But, those who knew him said he had great power, and pound-for-pound strength.
I remember the old adage:
Its not the dog in the fight. Its the fight in the dog.
The disfigured knuckles on his hands told me he must have been serious when it came to training and dedication. I couldn't have done it.
This last comment has nothing to do with Bruce Lee. But, it is related to martial arts. And, I've got to put it somewhere.
Back in 1993 or 1994, I was just learning taekwondo. And, I was trying to soak up anything I could, that might improve my capabilities. However, I wasn't comfortable in training philosophies that dealt with what I would call, "mystical" abilities. You know--techniques that supposedly enabled someone to knock down an opponent without touching them. That sort of thing.
I found mention in one of the magazines that said you could buy a training book by Joe Lewis, the martial artist.
It gave a phone number. And, I called it.
The man who answered said I called the right place. When I asked him for his name, he said,
"Joe Lewis. It's me. Its my book".
I was very surprised. But, he sounded legitimate to me.
I figured I'd see it through. After a few questions, I asked if I had to learn anything sort of mystical to benefit from the book.
He was polite about it. And, he apparently understood the question.
He said someone once asked him to teach him 'the helicopter'.
He asked what they meant. He said, they meant they wanted to learn to hover above the floor.
He assured me it wasnt part of his teaching curriculum.
I know this must read like a bogus account. All I can say is that he was convincing.
I don't remember if I bought his book, or not. I was going through a divorce. And, my ability to focus was strained.
But, after all that, I hope I did. Whoever was on the phone seemed to be a pretty good guy.
😅
The only notable Kenpo experts from that early era were Ed Parker and Nick Cerio.
We will never know if he was any good. He never fought or was measured in a structured fighting environment like the ufc as an example. He was smart to take the tv money though.
Since the guy in Beerdy's photo was Dan Inosanto, and one of Bruce's close friends, I'm sure he would find the whole story ridiculous. Mr. Inosanto was, I believe a first degree Kenpo black belt, under Ed Parker, who at the time I doubt would have even called himself a "Grand Master" since his teacher, William Chow, was still alive. Parker was the one who initially introduced Dan Inosanto to Bruce and asked him to show Bruce around Pasadena and assist him with his Jeet Kune Do demos. They went on to become close friends and Inosanto eventually left Parker to become Bruce's student and eventually assistant instructor. Dan Inosanto definitely deserves to be called Grand Master now, but he was not back in the 1960s. At that time he was a young first (or maybe second) degree black belt under Master Ed Parker.
You the only one talking real biz
Bruce Lee had such destructive fists they are still trying to figure it out.
Physicists have figured it out. It’s pretty cool.
Are you a Master of Business Administration? I had a business when I was 19 YO making Glass Products.
Tell the truth and shame the devil. Excellent!!!!!!!!
First student in pic was dan insaonto -one of his tip students(demonstration)
Yes, that's Guro Dan Inosanto
Bruce lee was chosen and controlled by the Dragon that is y there will never be another him
HaHaa!! Too funny!!
@@james1795 believe that
Bruce Lee was a cha cha champion in HK. That's a reason why his footwork was good. His wife said his fight scenes in his movies were real. She added he practised v v much and regularly. Another thing to learn from him.
Where is the story about Ed Parker? I don’t hear you mention it at Parker at all.
Bruce lee expected challenge his opponent
Why do these fake stories captivate so many Bruce Lee fans? Because they so desperately want to believe that the stuff they see in movies, particularly his movies, is real! They want to believe that he could really fight in real life the way he did in his movies.
On another note, if Beerdy says it, you can basically assume it's made up BS. 😂
Beerdy blocked me cause I said he was dumb for saying a boxing match between Bruce and Tyson would end in decaion😅
my name is rico paone 1968 grand champion kumite 1969 grand champion kumite, i worked out against bruce lee and beat jim kelly in a tournament, Thank You, Rico G. Paone
Thank you
Wan jack man vs Bruce Lee that story was told too but what really happened?
The Grand Master was Ed Parker. He did spar with Ed Parker, he did impress Ed Parker. The story you are conveying was a kenpo student, not a grand master. Ed Parker was and is the Grand Master of true Kenpo.
I'm not conveying any story. If you paid attention, then you would know that I'm saying this event never happened.
Well Beerdy is giving us content by giving us footage and he provides you with content to debunk. And us the viewer wins! You guys are like Batman and Joker… you need each other lol
Negative. I haven't debunked a Beerdy video in 6 months, and I'm doing just fine.
What was Lee's record?
2-0
His record is he was the best
Fights: 34 wins - 1 loss
Sparring: 30 wins - 0 losses
Ed Parker was no joke. Bruce Lee would have never beaten him in seconds. Another Bruce Lee fairytale.
I actually trained with a guy who fought Bruce Lee. I don't remember his last name but his first name was Merle. He said Bruce Lee beat him easily and he held the world title. So telling me that you don't believe that Bruce Lee could take Eddie Parker down you don't know anything about Bruce Lee.
@@georgeyarbrough88 Another fairytale. I know a guy, I know a guy, he told me that and that......-tired of hearing it. Bruce Lee was the greatest martial artist of all time but he was no fighter.
Berdy kinda creeps me out. His obsession is just not right
I'm third generation from Mr. Parker. There was not an actual fight between Bruce Lee and Mr. Parker. They were well acquainted with each other and would not have been in a fight. Keep in mind Mr. Parker is the founder of American Kenpo.
Who said they fought?
I've heard some fighters talk like they've never been beat. If you never been beat then you never been in a fight. Rising up to the challenge of our rivals as the song says. Praising the elite after the fact with the struggles they paid to get there disregarded as some shameful less than perfect secret.
Thanks for sharing 👍
Beerdy apperance!
Thx for Info ,,,,just a demonstration
When you think about it the main topic about Bruce is can he beat up everybody. At this point I really don’t care but it’s getting more fun out of life which is something Martial arts is not associated with. But isn’t that the juice which fuels the fire of life. It might be but most seem to only be concerned about who’s the king of the hill. But in a world of peace where no life is in threat then the most important aspects of the arts will be practiced.
that birdie guy is just a Bruce Lee fanatic in the bad sense of the word.
It was a demonstration not a fight, my dad and I were there.
We were just talking about that one punch thing in my dojo last night
I have to wonder if this HAD occurred if Bruce Lee would have even bothered.. in his writings and philosophies it always seemed he was above such things..
I always wonder how many real “legends” are still out there and never found because their art take precedence over notoriety?
Thank you so much for going beyond the myth of Bruce Lee and delving into the realities of the man and his truly astonishing accomplishments. I am a huge fan of his since childhood and over 50 years since his passing in 1973. I don’t know if you read John Little’s Wrath of the Dragon book, but is is a most fascinating read about numerous real fights Mr. Lee had. Hope you will discuss it on your channel one day.
Everyone who whines about Bruce’s “fight record” needs to read that book
Actually Golden Bell, Dan Inosanto was a student of Kenpo Founder Ed Parker. I don't think Bruce ever had spar with a Kenpo practicaner. Dan & Bruce formed a great friendship, Grand Guro Inosanto is God father to Lee's children Brandon & Shannon. Even trained Brandon in JKD!! I regard Sifu as The Living Father of Jeet Kune Do.. Furthermore, I believe he's the last 1 left of Bruce's original teaching instructors
Bruce sparred with Kempo guys.
Bruce Lee needs to come back to teach Tarantino a lesson 🤜👊🤛💥🤯
Beardy is so corny 😂🌽 still to this day I have never seen one of his videos. Just your awesome videos where you dunk on him
I know that his father died, and he went back to Hong Kong. But maybe he went straight back tot the states after that? I don't know. I knew he did movies in China as well, so maybe he decided to stay there for a while and do these movies, since making it in Hollywood was pretty difficult for him.
Bruce Lee train with ip Man. Bruce Lee good fight. And numerous martial artists of the time here did have sparring matches with Bruce and lost. People doubting because he didn't fight in tournaments. What tournaments would have called a lot of Bruce's hits illegal. Bruce Lee was a real martial artist fighter.
I noticed on the thumbnail you put a picture of Ed Parker facing off against Bruce Lee. Of course, if that ever did happen, I don’t think it would have ended well for Bruce. Parker was incredibly fast as well and at least twice Bruce’s size.
Where I was growing up in Asian Country Bruce Lee was my super star idol ‘& I’m not here for telling y’all story. ,but just to give little examples: like Muhammad Ali, & Manny Pacquiao, The “GOAT“right? but they are both got beats in the ring too Right? It’s all about in the rings and out side the ring. the excepting from fans & people around the world. “”That’s A greatest””!! Just A short example.!! A.B.🐘 🦅🇺🇸
Why not tell a story about a Filipino named Trouvador Ramos who beat Bruce in their "sparring" In fact this Filipino don't want to accept the challenge But Bruce.really want to " scale"the toughness of this Filipino And lately.this Filipino( a musician) is now based in Hong Kong ( wish that he is still " kicking") Thank you ( waiting.
🤣 fiction isn’t covered on this channel.

Dear Beery and Prince on that Facebook You Tube video ,
Iam pleased and happy that the false stories on Bruce Lee are were replaced with facts!I remember seeing Bruce Lee and saw him in the Green Hornet in the Sixties when I was in grade school.I wasn't aware of the false stories
Signed,
Keith P.Cooper
Bruce was so great how come he could not beat death
Because no one can except YESHUA
Preach bruh
I cant see parker fighting Bruce thay would have nothing to prove ❤❤❤
Ah yes, grandmaster Baxter, aka Dan Inosanto 🤦♂️
I really feel spiritual and Godly wisdom understanding that 95% of people on this earth always believe lies over the truth. But what really kills people life and timetable is those like this one who spent all his life to assisinate a Legendary superhuman like Bruce Lee. Who truly was a spiritual wise martial artist that existed and performed in such a short life. But that been over 50 years ago and that's how long he been dead. Now people like this one devote his whole life to prove stories on Bruce Lee was fake. Who cares after over a half a century. Life should be like I who believes In the 5 percenter and just live with peace, truth and observation.
The guy in the black gi claims in a video i seen along with alot of others that when bruce threw the punches he eas able to block them and it shocked bruce and the audience which was clearly bullshit cuz when you watch it even Ray Charles can see he couldn't block the punches .Its funny how none of these claims were there when Bruce was alive.
Look at tge vid of Jim Kelly interview said I know who he sparred with he was untouchable take it to heart
I don't think anybody would challenge Bruce Lee
How come you are now bleeping Dave Chappell 😁?
I've always censored that part.
I am sure you are right. I've heard him so much, and watched about all your stuff, it just bleed over in my mind! @@GoldenbellTraining
Bruce Lee was an actor and wanted to be an actor. Nothing wrong with that but that doesn’t mean that he was ever a real fighter does it?
Great research. Beerdy should have his channel suspended.
I understand
wait.. is that really dan ? that guy looks old af..
Ask Chuck Norris,He was a fried of Bruce!
"Grandmaster Baxter" is a fictional character.
