Joe Lewis was a full-contact sport fighter so if he ended up using Bruce Lee's techniques in competitions, then it means Bruce's fighting philosophy was practical and actually usable.
Most definitely, a lot of people don't know Bruce Lee got in the boxing ring for his H.S Boxing championship and defeated all of his opponents in the tournament winning it by defeating the previous champion by knockdown on his first attempt at the sport, he was absolutely a real fighter and that's why all of the great fighters trained with him.

This video makes me feel good that I experienced some of the techniques be taught in this video. I went to Hybrid Martial Arts Academy and learned the same body mechanics I just witnessed in this video. I love it..
biggest thing i learned as a kid and later reinforced by bruce was you can win and end many fights without ever throwing a punch simply by body language and attitude. most who look to attack others, especially in groups look for easy prey, victims and the minute they see you are confidant and cracking a slight smile they start second guessing themselves and look to back off. it's the few this approach won't work on you will have to deal with because these few tend to also have some confidence but your attitude will prevent many from even bothering you.
The more "knowledgeable" and ,"stronger" someone becomes in martial arts, the more confident the one will become on the pre-combat levels. Knowledge of human behavior is part of education. Explore yourself, then you can intervene before a "tendency" arises. MIND CONTROL, I believe that could be meant in Ninjutsu(i)?
I highly recommend that you watch the kickboxing bout between Joe Lewis and Bill Superfoot Wallace. The bout can be viewed right on UA-cam and the bout took place in 1990. Both men basically came out of they're respective retirements from fighting competition, specifically for this particular bout. Lewis was 46 and Wallace was 45 at that time. Both got themselves into proper fighting sport condition. Perhaps influenced by "George Foreman", who came out of a 10 year span of temporary Pro Boxing retirement in 1987, at the age of 38. But anyway, Lewis weighed 200 lbs and Wallace weighed only 166. It was basically a full sized Cruiserweight versus a Super Middleweight. The bout was Very Competitive throughout, but Lewis's slightly better conditioning seemed to be ultimately a prevailing factor, as he seemed to attain and maintain a slight edge throughout the bout. Technically, because it was an exhibition, There was no real winner or loser. Lewis would've gotten the decision though. With kickboxing it seems to be different as far as the overall size discrepancies. 166 lb Wallace didn't truly seem to be overwhelmed just because of the size difference alone. Lewis's stamina, along with his weight advantage slightly factoring in, won him the bout. They're overall skills were basically even. Lewis was obviously working a bit more than Wallace with the cardio conditioning training.
Over the years whenever I heard people saying Bruce was just an actor ,I always referred to what Joe Louis said about him a few other guys in Joe's class I never heard joe say anything bad about Bruce, I'm not saying he didn't, I haven't seen a whole lot over the years but I like what I have seen and I like watching this stuff, good stuff this is all hurried, got to go to work, come back to it all later.
Now, these things are coming out! World champion karate and kickboxing champion, ADMITS, Bruce Lee was greater than him and that Bruce Lee was HIS TEACHER! Thanks a lot for speaking d truth to the whole world, sir.
Joe Lewis, in anything I've read over the years, has never kept it from anyone that Bruce was his teacher, in my memory. Could I be wrong? There were many teachers of many styles who Bruce had hired too. Even though he didn't wave any flags with their names on it, I doubt Bruce would have intentionally tried to keep that a secret, right? Chuck Norris too, has always acknowledged being a student of Bruce.
@@LandSnipe415 You mean Chuck Norris died also, aside from Bruce Lee and Joe Lewis, because you wrote (and later edited) that the 3 of them may "rest in peace"?
Joe Lewis fut un très grand champion , il apportât de grands progrès en meme temps que Bruce Lee dans le monde des arts martiaux . Il nous manque à tous
@@stevebb2915 cant speak for bruce but joe has done plenty of full contact fights, some are on youtube...he obviously held bruce in high respect and would never have adopted these techniques or even wasted his time with Lee if he didnt think him legit...
@@stevebb2915 not competitive in the ring but it’s pretty common knowledge among those of his day that he Street fought and sparred full contact regularly and with great prowess. Of course, those days are gone decades ago.
What Bruce Lee did was show the world that martial arts was for all walks of life that there wasn't a style per say but a learning experience all styles are inner connected he created his own style out of all martial arts this man was ahead of this world we are still learning how great he was i have a question for everyone upthere "what did Wiseman once said?" Nothing! He is style learning
Everything that i have seen posted about Joe's views regarding Bruce Lee, are totally respectful and appreciative. Whereas Chuck Norris was openly a student of Bruce Lee whilst Lee was alive, but after Lee died, Norris claimed to have been Lee's tutor and sparring partner! 🙄
JL and CN were champions long before BL, who was an actor and met them. BL was not their teacher, he only appeared at tournaments as a celebrity guest to attract attention and impart knowledge.
Holy smoke. I wish Bruce Lee was in this video to fully explain all his techniques. But Joe did a great job here. I get it. I also see these moves in Bruce Lee's movies, especially in Way of the Dragon (the one in Rome). This is awesome video. Thank you.
I had the distinct honor of carrying his gear bag from fight to fight at the he top ten nationals in Saint Louis at Forest Park Community College in 1974. I was 14 years old he seemed really rude and mean but that was was only just before a fight. I’ve heard people say point fighting isn’t the same as full contact, they never saw Ross Scot and Joe Louis fight. The was nothing thrown without full power. What else would you expect from a Marine
Joe Lewis is RIP HE PASSED AWAY Joseph Henry Lewis was an American karateka, kickboxer, and actor. As a fighter, Lewis gained fame for his matches in the 1960s and 1970s, and was nicknamed "the Muhammad Ali of karate."

This is genuine knowledge whether you like him or not, I dove deep down the rabbit hole if you will in jkd and the techniques and what I was able to achieve was absurd I think anyone that watches this should pay attention because this is definitely something to add to what you know.
You can simultaneously 'flow or throw' the energy and have an abrupt stop. Like a pool que ball strikes another ball. There is an abrupt stop and all energy moved into the other ball. When I was practicing this, I was doing it on red bricks. It felt like I was barely touching them with my palm. They did not make a thud or break sound, they made kind of a 'whoof' or 'woosh' sound. Then the brick would split. My idea was to move that energy in, at some point it really does seem magical like Ki or Chi. Even still to this day I struggle to fully explain it. I might still be able to do it? there is a lot to be said about striking past / through he target as well for sure. But there is also something very 'magical' about moving the energy with what feels like no contact almost like the air if breaking it. I used to practice putting out candles from further and further away with strikes, id hold a tennis ball and let it go and strike it as it hung in the air over and over clawing it. I had a guy try and kick my knee like that at 15:30 I collapsed my own knee trapping his foot, spun on the ground and heel kicked my friend / or i can groin / stomach punch.
It's so funny to see Joe Lewis commenting on Bruce's wisdom after Tarentino, the fool, wrote Bruce to say 'Not that white kickboxing asshole' in Once Upon a Time. Shame on you Tarentino for disgracing Bruce's image 50 years after the man died.
Now we know Bruce Lee was really good he work out an d trained with world champion fighters Joe Lewis and Chuck Norris and etc. He was like Mr. Miyagi he didn't believe in fighting for trophy. Iol
One key element that he and just about everyone talking about this type of technique neglects to mention; the source of the power, how it is generated. Everyone is looking at his hands or shoulders or thinking maybe it is from the hips (which I hear a lot). The power is generated throughout the body but it always starts at the legs. Even if you are pivoting the foot/feet, the part that is making contact with the floor is pushing much like jumping up but instead of passing that energy to legs, it moves up to hip, then up the torso to shoulder, elbow and eventually to the striking hand. Same with the kicks. The last several inches of the punch just makes the timing more difficult but essentially all powerful, Chi driven strikes is a force generated thorough out the body like a charge and passed onto the hand/foot as it strikes the target. Best way I can think of to explain this concept is to tell the person to make a fist and try to push an immovable like a brick wall. Try to push the wall for at least several second with as much force as you can, how you generate such a force is the same exact way you would generate the force with the "1 inch" punch.
I'm glad I got to see you. I know a guy in I supposedly his father was an Army vet that new Bruce Lee as well and he showed me something to deal with hitting cardboard with tubes in series behind it and each one have color in it and what you're trying to do is not disrupt the cardboard but to manipulate the colored water in each tube with different pressure without damaging the cardboard. Do you know of this measurement
Very few can actually demonstrate the 3/4inch punch with proper bio mechanics and effect. Joe could. Also hand before foot (independent motion) and the same with bridging lead side kick...very few can do. For street application though if you sidekick with the knife edge you could easily break your ankle and the alingment is off. Always best to hit with the flat of foot/heel. Thanks for sharing.
@@craigbosko2229 people often overlook the most important things when they see a fast or flashy tech. Well it's not good if that tech injures you. Glad I helped you see the light.
You do know that Joe Lewis was a full contact fighter, right? Look him up. Joe Lewis was the man during his prime and he did his full contact career AFTER training with Bruce Lee. He refused to do point karate after training with Lee and finished his career as a kickboxer with 14 knockouts out of 16 fights. If you watch his fights, he moves alot like Lee did and he uses these same techniques. Lewis was a machine in his day.
I read a book written by Bruce Lee before he was a star, it was the basics of fighting and not king fu, in the book he said when you Punch you hit with only two knuckles only and those are the index and middle, only cause those two are the only ones aligned with the wrist when throwing the punch. I don’t know about this guy.
Imagine The Great Joe Lewis who was one of the greatest and most popular competing martial artists in that Era with a super gargantuan ego believing and praising Bruce Lee once he got to k on him better in person...!!!
On Guard position is great I use the lead with a really fast back hand from my waist , I throw it like a back fist until my opponent thinks that's how I throw and the I turn it into a straight lead
Joe Lewis was a full-contact sport fighter so if he ended up using Bruce Lee's techniques in competitions, then it means Bruce's fighting philosophy was practical and actually usable.

biggest thing i learned as a kid and later reinforced by bruce was you can win and end many fights without ever throwing a punch simply by body language and attitude. most who look to attack others, especially in groups look for easy prey, victims and the minute they see you are confidant and cracking a slight smile they start second guessing themselves and look to back off. it's the few this approach won't work on you will have to deal with because these few tend to also have some confidence but your attitude will prevent many from even bothering you.

For street application though if you sidekick with the knife edge you could easily break your ankle and the alingment is off. Always best to hit with the flat of foot/heel. Thanks for sharing.
A-MEN TO THE FLAT PART OF THE FOOT INSTEAD OF OUTSIDE EDGE OF THE FOOT WHICH CAN BREAK THE ANKLE.INTERESTING, I NEVER KNEW THAT.
@@craigbosko2229 people often overlook the most important things when they see a fast or flashy tech. Well it's not good if that tech injures you. Glad I helped you see the light.
I was always thought strong side back and to hit with the top two knuckles rather than the bottom 3.
Bruce Lee was an actor.
haaaa street figther
You do know that Joe Lewis was a full contact fighter, right? Look him up. Joe Lewis was the man during his prime and he did his full contact career AFTER training with Bruce Lee. He refused to do point karate after training with Lee and finished his career as a kickboxer with 14 knockouts out of 16 fights. If you watch his fights, he moves alot like Lee did and he uses these same techniques. Lewis was a machine in his day.
Strike with the bottom three fingers??
What year was this?

Wow
So learned some Hollywood stuff ok
Amazing!!!!!
Where's part 1?

Why did someone voiced over the Joe's about the actual distance of his misnamed one inch punch? I doubt it was 12 inches.
I read a book written by Bruce Lee before he was a star, it was the basics of fighting and not king fu, in the book he said when you
Punch you hit with only two knuckles only and those are the index and middle, only cause those two are the only ones aligned with the wrist when throwing the punch. I don’t know about this guy.
Lol he said to punch with your bottom three knuckles. Quick ticket to a broken pinkie.

Was this guy the inspiration for Rex Kwon Do in Napolean Dynamite?
Imagine The Great Joe Lewis who was one of the greatest and most popular competing martial artists in that Era with a super gargantuan ego believing and praising Bruce Lee once he got to k on him better in person...!!!
WATTTAAAAR!!!!
On Guard position is great
I use the lead with a really fast back hand from my waist , I throw it like a back fist until my opponent thinks that's how I throw and the I turn it into a straight lead
This is legit
You punched an arm... Doorman 20 years.
Did he say they would spare?
People claim Bruce Lee wasn’t a fighter but an actor. He was a martial artist first.
Joe told me he never sparred with Bruce Lee- he used the JKD principles and went undefeated for an entire year of competition
