More Bruce Lee training! This post explores what I think was key to Bruce Lee's amazing athleticism: his core stability. The one finger push up (or two finger) and the dragon flag are nothing if not demonstrations of this impressive rigidity. This allowed Bruce to deliver incredible power and speed in his strikes, and may even have contributed to his mobility and high kicks!
Whoever you are, you can stand to benefit from adding more core stability work to your own program.

You mean his core stability was the...core of his success. I'll see myself out after the video
😂
shame on you
👌 Nice 😂
That was abs-olutely uncored for...
That's...softcore bro
when bruce was doing those martial arts moves, he is at a relaxed state. Just because his body looks tensed doenst mean he's actually tensed. To do those martial arts moves you cannot be tensed, you have to be initially relaxed. That's why in his Jeet Kun do book he tells us that during the punch movement, the hand and arm throughout the entire punch are relaxed and ONLY tensed and hardened at the last second before contact.
Very true! But core stability doesn't mean being constantly rigid - it means having the option of rigidity. As you rightly point out, this comes into play especially at the point of contact.
*please imagine me speaking this with a nerdy lisp*
Actually, to be technical, muscle tension is always constant, especially in resting position. Muscle tone, in terms of truth and not in terms of common understanding, is the rate of constant contractions while the muscle is in a rested position. Rigidity as Mr. Bioneer asserts, can be explained under this paradigm as a constant rate of high-to-maximal contraction rate, across all availably active muscle fibers.
I'm not saying one is false and the other is correct, but there's a conceptual distinction to be made that if done so, brings much benefit to the student of either Bruce Lee or of the modern functional athlete.
@@jamesbernards8409 it's not about the muscles. It's about the fascia and tendons. True atleticism is knowing when and how to relax the body right before the action. You see this with quarter backs and basketball players. They make throwing/shooting the ball so easy and effortlessly. Has nothing to do with muscles.
@@mrzack888 facts, incredible how he was able to do one handed pull ups-while holding out a 50lb weight out to the side
Most underrated fitness channel out there
@John wayne
Well when you consider all the other fitness channels with millions of subscribers, this guy easily deserves a spot among them.
You mean to tell me that Bruce Lee was at his core. The core essence of the man, the legend himself, Bruce Lee. It was the core of his success, it was all based on his core..... philosophy, stability, flexibility.... Ill see myself out after this video..
KomBat147 you literally just copied another comment lol
Bruce lee training is always fascinating who wouldn’t want to be like Bruce he’s such an inspiration to my training and fitness philosophy
Adam Penman same, I'm also going to start training my core everyday just like Bruce
@@McFlashh awesome man! I’ve got a killer ab workout on my channel if your looking for ideas bud!
5 years from now on this channel... "Epigenetics: Train like a Saiyan, become a Saiyan!" - video of him doing one finger handstand-style pushups in his self built gravity chamber. Can't wait!
even arnold Schwarzenegger said that bruce lee's core was the basis of everything he did and it makes sense because without your core, you can't do anything. anything you do , your core is involved. walking, running, punching, picking a book up off the floor, carrying groceries, everything. i personally trained my core for years. thousands beyond thousands of reps for decades. even in bootcamp i highly trained my core and i remember one of the drill instructors say "you trying to get abs of steel?". this was in the 90's. now look at the fitness world? they all about the core. bruce lee was on target and he is the reason why i trained my core for all these years. because of a strong core , i was able to zercher lift an amount of weight that if i told you , i know for a fact that you will think i was full of it, but i did . i have used bruce lee's concepts a good portion of my life and i use them now on my journey in calisthenics. thank you sifu lee for your knowledge and unlocking one of the mysterious keys in search of "Real world power". Be like water my friends. be like water!!! 🤙🤙🤙🤙
It seems the more I learn about strength and power, the more I appreciate The Farmer's Carry. Grip strength relates to how much weight one can hold/move. Core stability relates to how much strength, speed, and power one can generate in exercises, sports, hobbies, martial arts, etc. The Farmer's Carry seems to do it all. The best thing about it, is the fact it can be done with any random weight, regardless if one is at a gym or, like now, at home. I think The Turkish Getup would also be one of the best exercises for best overall exercises too. Thoughts anyone? Other exercises that would belong on this exclusive list?
Wesley Angel what about the good old push up (weighted if you wanted to take it up a notch) really grip through the fingers and using constant core stability for good form. Also just a thought how about pull ups?
@@AdamPenmanOfficial Good point, Artisan! I should've included the obvious three: push/press up, pull up, and squat. Thanks for pointing that out.
Wesley Angel glad you agree my man I’m glad you like my thought on fitness haha
@A x exactly that's actually the right way to do the farmers walk.
What about farmer carry combined with walking lunges
Every day is core workout day while in quarantine - day #43😓
As Bruce Lee 😎 said something similar to, that the core is important to everything we do in martial arts. I hear you Bruce👍
Thank you bioneer for sharing your time and knowledge🙏
JIN TAO AL WING CHUN which core exercises do you do?
this video deserves more views.
I do prioritize core training and also when I heard Bruce has a full day just core training I did it as well having a stronger core helped me on Sports such as Badminton, Basketball and Biking/MTB it also helped on running I also learned and find it easier to do pullups and chinups when my core started being stronger than before.
Bruce lee trained everyday his abs, forearms, and running, and has 3 days per week weight training routine and circuit training routine plus his usual martial arts training
I was watching Bruce Lee play table tennis with nunchucks. Incredible feats of strength. He is without a doubt the Godfather of MMA.
Great content!
That vids a fake sorry to tell u it was an advert but a very cool ad
Core stability is related to the idea of tension and relaxation. Where attention goes, tension follows.
This is key to all efficient movement. Get more out of less with it.
The wing chun stance emphasizes pushing the hips forward to stabilize the core and ensure punching power is not lost...Bruce built upon that principal and enhanced it using strength training....
I have been putting more emphasis on unilateral movements lately myself! I train for athleticism, and it always made more sense to me to train unilaterally for real world carryover. You don't throw a ball, a punch or a kick with both legs at the same time, and you don't sprint with both legs doing the same movement. Great video!
As a martial artist and fan of Bruce Lee appreciate time and info in these videos. Has helped out a lot in my training
The core is the Mecca of the body 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
No-one in martial arts has ever had a physique like Bruce Lee and I was a teenager while in the late 60's and a martial artist from 1974. Lee died in 1973.
Some people do have that body low body fat.
Bruce Lee was beyond super human , we need the 7 dragon balls
Funny,
when i started focussing moreon my core to get some control over my Anterior Pelvic Tilt i noticed some positive changes mentioned by you. I do feel like i wanna go further now and see where this could get me. In Parkour, i felt like the maximus distance i could jump increased without focussing on my legs. And my Climb ups became much easier and faster what made me able to do the "level 4 climb up" last summer.
Core strengh does feel like the key to "everything" since then..

I've been watching your channel since your first video on Bruce Lee's training / diet years ago given that he's been an inspiration to me for many years of my life and the reason I started training in the first place and I've gotta say it's amazing seeing your channel get the recognition it deserves, it was because of your channel that I developed a better understanding of various exercises / muscle groups & nutrition a good few years back. Keep up the amazing work mate
Bioneer these videos are awesome 😆 I am a martial artist that’s training everyday and always improving and these videos help me so much and I learn so much from them, they have helped me improve so much. So keep on doing what you are doing because it’s having a great impact 👍
Thanks 🙏😊
I also have a 1 inch punch theory with video on my channel. I show you it in action and measure it compared to an over hand power punch.
this is a great video. thanks for sharing with us all!
Nice. As always I’m a sucker for your Bruce Lee videos.
This is the one of greatest revelations for a martial artist or athelete.
Dude this is exactly what I've been working on lately
thanks for the upload
got it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Been training for 2 years to achieve this! one handed and finger push ups help to train for it
There is always something to learn from the bioneer channel keep up the good work I learned a lot from you 💪💪💪
Bruce Lee Master Lots of Mysterious Powers Lots of Skills Speed Strength Multi-Skill Stunt Stone Powerful Aggressive Intelligence Aggressive Strength All this mysteriously hidden in the year 1978, the Master kept thinking that he could show it all outsideMaster Bruce Lee Master
Holy core Batman! Gotta get that armorlike core m8. Bruce was truly a master of his own body. Best work as always *****
He had many keys. The core stability was the ring. Very nice explanation video. The "flag" is not easy yet he was still able to do it with a disc injury. Perhaps you can enlighten us on why he emphasized lat and forearm training and how those muscles relate to the core.
When I load one of your videos, I instantly give it a like, because I know it is going to be absolute quality. I haven't even watched the video and I know it will interest me. Thank you :)
Bruce Lee .. the king of badasses 👊🏻
Hi The Bioneer! I just wanted to say that I'm really enjoying your book and you content. Keep it going!
Awesome, thank you!
Next video how to get a back like yujiro hanma or baki?
Intelligence, and advanced, innovative training played a pretty huge
part, as well.
@ The Bioneer i would like to see a video like this for "Iron" Mike Tyson Analysing his training method's and diet he had amazing athleticism for being a big man, great job on the video's very informative and entertaining.
You got my at Bruce lee core!!
The Three Stages of Bruce's evolution:
1) A punch is just a punch----a kick is just a kick.
2) A punch is NOT just a punch----a kick, NOT just a kick.
3) A punch IS just a punch----a kick IS just a kick.
These were Bruce's own words.
To those who understand....Congratulations!
Very interesting video dude awesome job I really enjoyed it !
Thanks, very glad to hear it :-D
Nicely done bioneer, i too was thinking why was bruce keeping his upper body and core so rigid why delivering blows but couldn't understand it, this really helped a lot thanks!
New video yesss awesome bioneer
Bruce Lee is the man. Thats reason why I workout in body weight and weightlifting plus martial arts.
Awesome on the video bro!
I guess you can say this was the core of his power, no pun intended ;)
Definitly was intended 😂😂
Thank you very much sir. It's great to know about my hero
thanks, good stuff as always! appreciating this channel more by the daily!
Super very very great Amazing 🔥🔥
I train viscious core stability from my time at Shaolin.
Well that sounds awesome...
Hardcore dude!
Can you do a video over the book Convict Conditioning routines and work outs ?
Great video Adam!
Hey love your videos a ton. I found a “super hero” you would love to look at if you haven’t already Doc Savage or the man of bronze. He is basically Batman on figurative steroids. I think you’d love that character.
Great video!

Superb sir
I recently found out about your Channel and i gotta give it to ya
This video was 🔥
Amazing video as always
Great video! My question would be on the anti flexor and anti rotation part, when you talked about the Nightwing training, you talked about the butterfly twist and side flip, wouldn’t too much anti rotator and anti flexor prevent you from doing those tips of acrobatics?
Good question! And no - building core stability means you can resist rotational force at will. It doesn’t mean you are less mobile when you need to be. Quite the opposite in fact :-)
This was eye opening thank you!
Your videos are well done! Thank you😊
keep the bruce lee stuff coming
Wow. Some nice calisthenics there.. that's impressive
Love It.
It was a said of Bruce Lee in his v sits, he would hold them for half an hour
He would alternate arms to rest one at all times lol
Freestyle lol
Yeah there's a lot of bullshit legends about him
Hi Adam, I’ve recently started gaining interest in physical training. I’m 13 years old and was wondering what workouts i should do and because you are my favorite UA-camr, I was hoping you would give me some tips on exercise/ diet. Thanks.
If you’re starting out then high volume callisthenics is a good place to begin. Then you can start throwing in more complex moves like tuck planche and one handed push ups. Combine with some kettlebells and heavy weights at that point and you’ll be on your way to pretty decent all round performance!
You should be focusing on functional strength and calisthenics at your age. When you hit 17 or so, hit the gym for weights.
@ Joseph Walsh : train bboying powermoves (airflares, flares, chairflares, flares to nineties, elbowairflares, one armed airflares) and tricks and combo (over 80 hand hops, pistons aka one armed handstand push ups, planche push ups most variations, hollow back push ups, chairfreeze to one armed handstand, one armed airbabyfreeze to one armed handstand balance, etc) and you at high level no calisthenic or fitness athlete will come ever close.
You are 13 now, train now with the best powermovers you can find and you will be a killerpowemover at 23.

Calisthenics is cool but we bboys with the gymnasts used to call it easy to normal mode warm ups before the real training.
I’ve been watching your videos for a while, and now the US Army is putting a new fitness test in place, the acft. If you could make a video on it, that would be really helpful to a lot of us,
I am not too sure if you are aware of wing Chun concept of Xiu Nim Tao. It speaks about generating consistent power through relaxation and stabilization of the spin. I think what you shared and wing Chun xiu nim tao has a lot of similarity. It might be worth to look into. The master, who unfortunately passed away, was best at Xiu Nim Tao concept was Chu Shong-Tin. Especially how he been super skinny and old able to over power. I always thought calisthenics and Xiu Nim Tao has some connection.

Tightening and hardening my core muscles, I also "feel comfortable in my own skin" much more..
Many people forget that Bruce Lee was a champion ballroom dancer...much of his style comes from that background
Man this channel is dope!!!!!!
amazing video adam. another great one. very useful with pretty much most physical activity.
btw This music is really awesome when it starts after 1 minute. Do you have a link to it, or the name of the song and artist? it's perfect for meditation and for martial arts workout, so I must have it so I can play it.

Bruce Lee's shorter stature and shorter stomach makes it easier for him to do the one handed pushup. Taller people's (models, basketball players) will find it harder due to their elongated structure. People with longer legs will have a slightly different form when doing various exercises. For example a squat, taller people have to have a wider knee angle when going down. Why is it the Best gymnasts are majority not over 6 feet tall?? It's much easier doing those moves. Different body types are suited better for different sports.
Yes. Morphology is incredibly important and needs to be taken into account when training. I wish I had paid a bit more attention to it when I first started lifting. It would have saved me a lot of pain (namely knee pain).
@@argh2945 training your foundation ground up (FEET first) and thus strengthening your entire body's fascia system to be more Glute dominant and efficient will help recover your knees. I used to have right knee pain, now it's all gone.
@@mrzack888
Yeah, I resolved the knee pain years ago. Strengthening feet was a part of (wearing zero drop shoes played a big role). Strengthening my core muscles also played a key role given that I have long legs and a short torso (strong core = less forward lean on squats).
@@mrzack888 how do you do this?
The bioneer England's answer to captain America
Mr Bigglesworth captain Britain ?
Can you make a Bruce Lee Playlist please?
Wattaahhhhhhh! 🥋🥊
This is not a sure thing but.. Bruce lee is using his other hand on his thigh. He is pressing down causing aided lift. It’s like pulling done on your arm while doing a one arm pull up.
No views is my view
Great beard.
Thank you kindly. It is new!
How about the building of Master Lee wide lats
Move Lime WATER!!😀😁
Really loved this video. I am just curious about one thing. Although a stable core would allow for more specific output of limbs in the specific direction of the exercise and less wasted energy. Does momentum of the trunk or rotational force employed through twisting not also contribute to output of force for the limbs?
Hello, can you please make a video on how to get a balanced muscle and balanced chest cuz to me my biceps and chest appears unbalanced. Thank you 💪🏼
Need some core workouts
I've heard a legend
It goes who are 1minute early will get hearted. Is the legend true I ask?
The legend is to be said that only those who do not ask will earn the heart
wtf
Michael Taylor 2 simps.
It is true indeed!
@@unknownseizure Sadly you're not correct
Bruce mentioned in an interview that a karate punch is like an iron bar, while a kung fu punch was like an iron ball attached to a chain.
Someone who also embodies this is Terrance Crawford.
Awesome, hope your safe
Great video, keep in mind Bruce Lee was only 5" 7" 137 pounds and had short legs like most women, that gave him aerobic advantages. By the way thin people and short people tend to live longer due to having better circulation, Bruce Lee strangly died at just 32.
by ente the dragon his weigth was 117 pounds
Say dude, will you a video on Mithraism? It’s a practice oneself into self-administering non-lethal amounts. Like Coyote Peterson from Brave Wilderness, who let stings and bites of wasps and bees.
Whew, nevermind found him
Ironically I been training one hand push ups
His thumb is helping
Great explication !! thank you, i will train my plank harder
i can do 2 handed 3 finger push ups but cant do it with one hand. but im 200 lbs not 140lbs like bruce :)
