    I'm gonna give you guys some credit for keeping absolutely silent while Bruce Lee briefly talked about his philosophy. That's called respect.

    Bruce Lee was not a competition tournament fighter, he was concerned with what works in the real world fight situations. Bruce Lee was such a unique individual the level he achieved without nutrition experts, coaches and a world televised fight coming up for a title.... Absolutely stunning. Fifty years later we are still amazed and talking about this self made world moving individual that crossed all racial boundaries.

      Guy was an idiot. Chuck Norris told him to back off the weights, or he'd severely hurt himself. He didn't; he shattered his back and almost became a cripple. Had to be put on permanent steroids and meds to deal with it.
      Some time later while on one of his sets, he was offered someone else's painkiller to deal with a random headache he had: the concoction of his meds and the painkiller became fatal. I guess he should have been more aware of putting shit in his body, no?

      I love Tarantino’s movies but he’s a racist a$$hold when it comes to Bruce. Steals the iconic yellow jump suits, all the main characters aren’t Asian other than Lucy. Casts the white guy who stole Bruce’s spot for the Kung Fu tv show which he came up with and was supposed to star in as the main villain and supposed badest man on the planet. Then has the nerve to spread lies about things like stuntmen hating him which wasn’t even true. Truth was that he had to teach them how to act bc they were used to John Wayne super fake fighting and didn’t know martial arts or how to be good stuntmen for those movies. Bruce was a perfectionist and wanted things to look good. Mix the 2 and he’d accidentally hit people in the face sometimes, so yeah they didn’t like that. Also some didn’t like being told how to act in an Eastern fighting style. But he was also super nice to them, would take them out for dinner, he was super apologetic when he hit someone. And a lot of people paid stuntmen no attention but Bruce was very friendly with them. His daughter Shannon had a great reply to Tarantino saying he doesn’t know what it was like to try and break through wanting to be the first Asian lead ever in Hollywood! Pretty sure Enter the Dragon was the first Asian lead to hit #1 in the box office, and Bruce never got to learn about it bc he passed before it was released

    Jackie and Bruce were very different. Bruce Lee literally developed what we call MMA today. That one inch punch was clocked in at over 100 mph. He could catch a grain of rice or a fly in the air with chop sticks…. He was just DIFFERENT. Jackie Chan looked up to Bruce and respected him. He is more of a stunt man/fighter. He is self deprecating and lets himself look like he’s loosing, but he’s actually not. Bruce would take out a room of guys and barely break a sweat. Totally different guys, both great.

    • @paulpolpiboon9535

      Of course SUPER different, you don't compare The Rock to professional champion Lou Ferrigno. One's an actor, the other is Pro Athlete legend that did some movies.
      BRUCE LEE was not an actor, he only did one little film for Hollywood, Jackie has done over 14 films for Hollywood. For Hong Kong Jackie has done OVER 100 flicks, Bruce Lee only did 3.(Tower of Death is not a movie, it's only 7 minutes of usable footage).
      BRUCE LEE is ranked by Sports Illustrated in the Top 50 Greatest Athletes of all Time, Jackie is a showbiz producer. Professional Sports athletes enjoy Jackie Chan and even respect him but they don't STUDY him or praise him. Actual Champions literally study Lee's Techniques+ Methods, they analyze his training regimen and Nutritional Diet...not Jackies.
      Thankfully, Lee was able to sneak in a few movies at the very last 1.5 year of his life. Prior to that...there are zero movies, he was simply a veteran at live combat. In live situations he had fought; Black Belts, Pro Fighters, Ex military, Champions, 3rd degree Masters, Rival Martial Artists, and opponents that outweighed him by 100 pounds. His battle experience started as a young boy and lead all through out his teens + adulthoodhood. The few movies he DID make were only at the last 1.5 years of his life which was a brief opportunity for him to report his life experiences and give that insight into live combat. He only made 3 little movies plus One Hollywood film, a very short attempt at films but we're lucky he at least made them and snuck them right in JUST before he died to show us his insights on his personal life of hard combat.

      According to the internet it was created in France in 1980 called "Art du Deplacement", later renamed, mainstreamed and turned into a sport in 1990 by a man named David Belle.

    Bruce Lee is pretty much dubbed the Grand Father of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). Bruce Lee was born in November 27, 1940, in San Francisco California. But was raised in Hong Kong a majority of his child hood and teen life. He later moved to Seattle Washington on his own i think around age 17 almost heading to 18, and finished up his senior year in high school in Seattle Washington. His first American friend, was an African American male named Jesse Glover, in he later became Bruce Lee first and original set of students, as well as remaining good friends. Besides the Wing Chun fist, Bruce Lee also dabbled and learned, competed in western style boxing and won a championship in his high school back in Hong Kong, which i think he went to an international school there. He was also a Cha cha dancing Champion too. Bruce Lee also learned Karate from Taky Kimura, Jiu Jitsu and Judo from Wally Jay, both in Seattle Washington. But i think right during his last year in College where he was a Philosophy major, he dropped out to open a martial arts school in Oakland, California and moved there for a bit. I think he only had 1 Acting role in America, which was the Green Hornet, but he was just a side kick and never got a major role in America. But he then got a good offer from a company in Hong Kong during his visit. He accepted the offer and at first he started to assist and act in their first film. The film did really well, but Bruce Lee did not start Producing, Writing, Editing, Directing, and Acting in his films at the same time, until his 3rd film. The 3rd film he was in which he had full control and creation of, was a huge global mega hit and was popular for years to come. Then he made another film, and i think after the production and success of that film, he pass soon after. He was planning to do another film, but I don't think they ever started it. But Bruce Lee's thoughts, and ideology transformed martial arts and combat sports to what it is today, he even transformed the film industry globally too, in terms of storylines and action films on the way it was. Lots of film industries right now still use Bruce Lee's film style. But Bruce Lee was also extremely hard working physically and mentally, and I think lots of people in China and Asians in general, due to him having so much confidence and accomplishing what he always says he would do. But Bruce Lee had a ton of friends from all over, he was extremely well liked person. Bruce Lee's son Brandon Lee was actually getting extremely popular and famous too, but he had passed extremely early. Brandon Lee was accidently shot by a real bullet, during the making of the film, "The Crow".

    One of my favorite quotes from Bruce Lee is human culture is everybody's culture and human culture should be one culture not separated by skin color. One of the best statement I've ever heard in my entire life God bless Bruce Lee. R.I.P. Bruce Lee was hated by his own people for teaching white people Chinese culture AKA Chinese martial arts. Cultures should be shared with everybody. Dr Dra said no one can claim a culture based on skin color you can claim a culture based on religion based on your beliefs and based on your lifestyle because that's what a culture is a was of life. When he sind Eminem. No culture in the entire world evolves around skin color. They only call it black culture white culture or Asian culture because that's the people who stared that way of life. Dr Dra couldn't believe that what black people said about eminen was the exact same thing white people said about Jackie Robinson the first black player in the major leagues. Baseball was started by white people just like Rap music was started by black people.

    There seems to be no frivolity in the thoughts that evolved in Bruce Lee's mind as he experienced the pieces of his life. Whether it be the 40th time, like this video, or the very first time I hear a quote from Mr Lee, It seems that he has grasped, value and worth. To me he's applied it In many facets of his life. It seems I have a lot of mental training to do, to even get near the level he had of understanding and then living, value and worth. In my opinion he worked very hard at demonstrating his understanding of this to us. It goes way beyond movies and martial arts.
    Value and worth have parts that are similar for everyone and parts that are very different for everyone. I believe the key is to do your best to live well with your parts and to do your best to respect the other parts, because Bruce may have drank out of a Ming dynasty ceramic teacup, I like a hydroflask myself, you may like a Yeti squirt bottle, other people may like coffee cups but at the end of the day, water fits in every shape, flows with everything and we all need water. So as the master said, "be water my friends,..... be water"

    I remember watching an interview with Chuck Norris when he was asked about training with Bruce Lee for a while in California, Chuck said that normal heavy bags was useless with Bruce because he could completely destroy them within minutes, so he created a specialized bag that weighed about 700 to 800 pounds with a thick solid heavy steal spine in the centre to help keep its form when hit with Bruce's full power, especially when kicking.
    Chuck said what made Bruce so deadly was that he had phenomenal speed AND phenomenal power all in one package which very few people can achieve as most people have or perfect one or the other, Bruce had both power and speed at the highest level of martial arts. Then mix that with his mixed martial arts development and mentality and you have one of the greatest martial artist who has ever appeared on film, and even on film he fights at half speed because if he fights full speed you will not actually see a lot of his moves as he moves faster than the camera films, they learned this when he was first shot for the green hornet, when they played the first film footage back all they filmed was Bruce miraging and guys randomly falling on the floor etc so they told him to slow down so they could actually film his punches and kicks, the man was bad ass as fuck.

    Bruce Lee's movie martial arts is different from his street martial arts. I've been in the Martial Arts for over 50+ years and have trained with Dan Inosanto who introduced Bruce Lee to the nunchucks and the late Taky Kimura. Both top students of Bruce Lee. Dan Inosanto has continued to carry on Bruce Lee's martial arts philosophy. Bruce Lee influenced me in my martial arts career. I tried emulating his flying side kick for show not for a real fight. Dan Inosanto once told us that he didn't ever remember scoring on Bruce Lee when he sparred him. Now I thought Dan Inosanto was one of the fastest martial arts I ever had the honor to train with. This made me wonder how fast was Bruce Lee?

    Bruce actually trained Kareem Abdul Jabar, they were great friends and Jackie Chan got his starts doing stunts for Bruce. I have a huge fan of Bruce Lee since I was a kid. He used methods of training to get his body to levels of near perfection that science didnt understand or confirm until decades later. When he hurt his back and couldnt train, he began training his mind and focused on his philosophical writings which are just as brilliant and inspiring, if not more so. The doctors told him he would never walk again, not only did he walk, he conceptualized and taught his own form of martial arts after that. Truly a once in a lifetime human being.
