74 years old at the interview.. like how many 74 years old people have you seen with his kind of energy? he doesnt look nearly as ruined as alot of old people, amazing.
+Attila Uslu but still aging, i ve seen people that stop aging their skin is completely like young people, in great fitness condition, and of course never go on TV, talk to Chinese people on the mountain you will find these people.
I think that you men need to realize that in this video Grand Master Norris is 74 YEARS OLD! He is fatigued from Working Out and obviously winded, yet he can still do pretty well considering these facts. Now if he can do this at 74 years old can you imagine the physical Destruction that he could have unleashed at let us say 34 years old? Back when he was a professional competitive fighter he had Blackbelts in Tang Soo Do, Tae Kwon Do and Judo so he knew how to Strike and he knew how to Grapple and was already doing Mixed Martial Arts by the late 1960's. Master Norris and his very good friend Master Bruce Lee were more than 30 years ahead of their time. These great men were already training in MMA style in the 1960's when no else would have even considered it. For 6 years Chuck Norris was the World Middleweight Karate Champion and unlike the MMA fighters of today he basically had to fight his entire weight class in one night because of the tournament style rules. Something else that the MMA fighters of today don't have to deal with is the fact that Chuck had to fight and defeat the Heavyweight Champion of the Tournament to receive the Top Honors of being the Grand Champion in some of these Tournaments. In 1990 at 50 years of age, Chuck Norris was the 1st Westerner(White Man) in history to achieve the rank of 8th Degree Black Belt Grandmaster. Master Chuck Norris has more than earned all of our respect.
I've seen a guy who lived to over 100 and within the last year when he died he was practicing Kung Fu for hours without tiring. In videos of him, he was easily faster and fitter than Chuck.
StickyIckyOOHWAY hehe ok, we're even then... yes, i'm aware that the joke is old as dirt but it's a gem and needs to be reintroduced from time to time.
ALIENCE When the Alience come and destroy all life on Earth, they take 2 people alive to their planet, Chuck Norris and Jesse-Jane McParland to show their fighting skills to the other Alience. When Chucck Norris shows his fighting skills, the Alience laugh out loud and shake their heads with pity. When Jesse-Jane McParland then demonstrates her fighting skills, the Aliens start to applaud and make her the President of their Planet.
Mat Broomfield Chuck is a cool guy, good martial artist and famous from the movies. Of course his abilities are execrated just like Bruce Lee was, but for his age he is in great shape.
Everyone griping and complaining, "Bruce would have beat Chuck!!! He was faster and Jeet Kune Do is better!" "Chuck would have beaten Bruce!!! He was a full-contact champion and Kickboxing is better!". I think Bruce and Chuck would be embarrassed by such attitudes. Chuck and Bruce were FRIENDS. They learned a lot from each other, tremendously. Chuck was a full-contact Karate competitior (AKA, American Kickboxing), he had the Professional Middleweight Karate champion title, which he held for six consecutive years. He had only ten losses his entire martial arts career, he avenged all ten losses. He also had a black belt in Tang So Do and was the 1st Westerner to get 8th Degree black belt in Taekwondo history, he also had his black belt in Judo and won the U.S. Air Force Judo Championship, meaning he was a proficient grappler and striker before he ever met Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee was a practitioner of Wing Chun and Jun Fan, he was blazing fast and combined the two into Jeet Kune Do, won some no-rules fights. Not THAT many but he was feared and respected for his precision, speed and ability, all before he met Chuck Norris. When the two met, Chuck impressed on Bruce Lee the effectiveness of grappling as a fighting style so much that Bruce was getting into Judo on his own before he died, as well as how powerful his kicks could be. Bruce impressed Chuck with his incredible abilities and no-rules experience and fighting method to the point that Chuck borrowed from it. Jeet Kune Do has influence from Chuck Norris and Chun Kuk Do has influence from Bruce Lee. BOTH fighters and their fighting styles grew stronger from the experience. They didn't fight because they never wanted to take it there because they both knew, no matter WHICH one came out on top, it would be a career-ending fight that would leave both injured. And they cared too much about each other to go that far. I love BOTH martial artists, I consider them BOTH legends and quite frankly, I neither know nor care about who would win. I'm too busy learning from both their examples. Something I think they'd appreciate more than fanboys throwing fits about who they think in their imaginations would win.
+Will Cooke (BaronFilms) He's not even punching it. He's making you imagine he's punching it. If he threw his weakest punch and you watched it here on your screen, your screen would shatter into a million pieces and the fist will fly out of that screen and knock you into next week.
What is amazing for me is the fact that not Chuck Norris, Steven Seagal, Jet Li, Jackie Chan, Donny Yen, or any great Martial Artist ever insulted each other, or when asked questions about Bruce Lee or their opinion about Bruce Lee spoke negative things about him. This is true masters of the art. True humbleness and great respect which is the true sense of a true master.
I roll my eyes at the countless trolls on this video. Chuck Norris is one of the worlds best martial artists and has accomplished a ton. In his younger years he moved extremely fast and was in incredible shape. Have you seen older videos of Helio Gracie? Did he move perfectly and fast? NO! HE WAS OLDER! Chuck is 74 and he is still training and can hit hard. His close the gap 2 punch combo is a very effective technique for self defense, and in sport karate back in the day it scored points. The karate tournaments back then were a lot more hardcore and had hard impact unlike the ISKA touch crap you see today. No gloves and a distraction shot to the face and a hard punch to the solar plexus would stop the average attacker on the streets. Everyones body fials, everyones joints slow up you cannot expect someone to remain a 25 year old powerful athlete at age 74. Grandmaster Norris is someone all true martial artists should show respect for.
Thats because back then only whites were shown to be great and starred on big screens as the best (which is false) but in reality a lot of other people in different races were way better than what white people thought of themselves back then. He might of been fast for the rest of you stiff white folks but when bruce lee came lol.. bruce lee broke that notion along with chuck chest hair.
Bruce Black Some white preschool kids out there are world karate champions does that make them champions or talented martial artists...lol no! Just because you got a championship trophy doesn't mean you are talented and gifted. Anybody can do anything that they are not talented in and make it still. But to become a legend in something now that my friend takes talent
I worked out with Chuck and his brother Aaron at his Virginia Beach studio around 1978-79 (I was a student instructor at the time) and his endurance was incredible. About 6 of us worked out for about 2 hours, and the rest of us were all whipped, and Chuck says "I'm going next door to Nautilus to do some weight work". Yea, in his prime he was something to watch. Oh, and he was filming a movie with David Carradine at the time, and I asked him who wins in the movie, and he says "well, it's my movie!".
Love chuck Norris!!! He has earned, earned, earned, every breath of life taken and ever will have taken. If only I had known choices existed and were obtainable, I would be in a different place today. Chuck lectures and I love him for it. Thank you for being who you are, Chuck.
2 of the more iconic American martial artists/actors Love these two men. RIP Bruce, even years after your death you still inspire, and the same will be true for Chuck, if/when he ever decides to go.
+lanocondo Funny how this has become one of Lee's most famous phrases. It is just a movie quote folks! Bruce actually liked breaking boards and bricks. Kind regards
I think a lot of you are getting something confused... There is a massive difference in fighting to 'win' and fighting to survive. There are probably unheard of martial arts practitioners that would literally kill a cage fighter in the streets if the circumstances somehow favored that situation. I personally don't see two well discipline martial artists just randomly having a death battle after seeing each other for the first time, but I digress. You can't always assume because someone won a lot of heavily regulated matches that they'll be the winner. You can't knife hand someone in the throat or run your thumb through their eye in a cage or mat. If you're comparing skill Bruce has Chuck beat, but Chuck has a shit load of 'experience' in competition. Another thing to keep in mind is that these guys were good friends. So an all out last man standing type fight would probably never even cross their minds. I've studied martial arts my entire life and I've sparred with skilled martial artists. I've also never had an actual 'fight' with a martial artist. I understand that cage fighters make a living that way, but other than that, true martial artists don't go looking to start fights. Even then, your average mma fighter is probably the nicest, fun loving person outside the ring. I highly doubt that it would have ever come to a situation where we would truly know who would win in a fight between these two. Real fights have no rules, time limits, refs, most don't have hysterical people screaming in the background and no one gets paid for getting/receiving an ass beating. As I said though, Bruce does have Chuck on skill and physical ability. Chuck is accustomed to rules, but I would be a liar if I didn't say that Bruce would win in that scenario. At least in my humble opinion as a random guy watching videos on youtube.
There's a saying that a skilled street fighter will beat a skilled martial artist almost every time in an actual fight because when you fight in martial arts you are always pulling your blows so you don't really hurt the other person whereas in a street fight your aim is to beat the he'll out of the opponent as fast as possible and rules don't matter.
John Smith It's often true. I've noticed myself in the same attitude and realised that if I'm in that situation, I have to absolutely hate the other guy to an extent that I have to want to hurt him bad. Often, martial artists don't have that kind of resolve, probably because of the disciplined mentality we're raised with.
Very true, I witnessed a "friendly" fight between a Green Beret and a foreign special ops guy, green beret won in about a second by poking his opponent in the eye, hard. That wasn't a real fight to the death, so I'd hate to face the Green beret if he actually was trying to kill.
+Ready Steady Clash!! Chuck could eat raw chicken and just shit it out the next day....then beat the shit out of that dummy and go for a few cold beers..lol
Chuck Norris was never fast. He is still as stiff as he was when he was fighting Bruce Lee and bruce is the fastest well the fastest that we know for now to ever pop on the big screens. And bruce lee whooped Chuck norris ass making Chuck look like a bitch!
Once again,Bruce didnt whoop Chuck. Going by a movie is so childish and presuming. "Movies can show anyone whooping anyone's ass". Its called Choreography,and fantasy as well. Look at Uma Thurmann in the Kill Bill flix,according to those movies,she can beat up 50 samurai's simultaneously,but in real life,she freaked out and immedietely contacted authorities when there was but one person stalking her. If she was anything remotely close to what she was in Kill Bill flix,she would've promptly taken on that one mere stalker and disposed of him.
Do you seriously think a perfectionist like Bruce Lee would have cast a "stiff", poor martial artist as his ultimate nemesis? Lee has cast legends like Ji Han Jae in his films. If Norris hadn't measured up, do you really think Lee would have given him the shot? Chuck Norris deserves respect. Lee respected him -- that tells you everything.
No matter how fast Bruce could be, he's gone forever and no one can really bring him back. But Chuck Norris is still alive and he really does a good job in Martial Art; just skip the huge space between their individual fighting ways, people who love Martial Arts won't even give a **** about who would win if let them fight again.
What you all have to understand is this even though it was a movie everybody saw as plain as day who was fast and who had more technique and skill to show on camera. Chuck had his chance and didn't have it but bruce sure did. But what you white folks have to ask yall selves is this who was the mentor of who again?? Oh yeah bruce lee was the mentor of chuck norris and was was named the godfarther of mma? mmm was it chuck old country stiff ass? mmm no.. oh yeah it was BRUCE LEE!
Rodrigo Lee Oh ok, I noticed that you called some people as "white folks", I am not white btw. Also, about who is "the father of MMA" would be a controversial one if you insist on your opinion. I don't know where you came from. But as a Chinese citizen(who does admire Bruce), I just think Bruce's "Jeet Kune Do" should not be overstated(Everyone Chinese Wing Chun fan knows how Bruce combined it with the modern boxing). If you wanna know how did Jackie Chan described Bruce Lee, open this Chinese news (ent.ifeng.com/entvideo/detail_2012_12/13/20126562_3.shtml).
Growing up I loved watching Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris. Ieven went to one of Chuck Norris Karate schools. Got to meet Chuck when i was there. Was one of the best days of my life. Someone how the only pitcure I had with my ended up missing. Only one we can find was the one with my 2 sisters. Go figure. Love ya CN and thank you for you're service!
Chuck seems a very nice guy. A pleasure listening to you man. I wish more people today could smile with their eyes when talking about something special, and want nothing in return. What a cool man.
Look!! These are the 'murica i am talking about. Please tell me if Chuck Norris is as fast as Bruce Lee. Speed is the most important element in a fight. Not to mention strength and Lee's techniques. Totall outclassed Chuck Norris.
They never fought in real life. A movie could have David Spade beat the crap out of Bas Rutten. Would you then say, "Oh Yeah,David Spade Really Kicked Bas's ass ?! : /
Chuck owes whatever he is in life today to Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee was the star and if he wouldn't have invited Chuck Norris to act in his movie, till today Chuck would have been an unknown face and non-decript martial arts instructor struggling somewhere.
Chuck was average good, Bruce was scary incredible with his quickness and strength and with all of that he had incredible skill defensively and offensively.
My Karate instructor, Fumio Demura & my father, The Great John L, were both friends of Chuck. In '83, I was working my small dojo in Arkansas. With those connections, I traveled to CA, and Chuck invited me into his home. We trained a couple hrs, visited & took pictures. I was 26. When I went home, I held my head higher & was the talk of the town. It helped business & I've always admired him for that. Back in the 70s, I went with my Dad, when he armwrestled Chuck in Breaker Breaker. He asked me to be an extra. I'm the 20yr old kid, in the Chef's hat. 😂👍🏼
He was a Karate world champion then but that doesnt mean anything in the world of multiple martial arts and artists. Bruce Lee didnt believe in competing in tournaments, but learned in real life and death combat situations.
dru713281 I ment to say thier friendship is like Ken and Ryu. They were friends. Ken was from the west and Ryu was from the east. Chuck was from the west and Bruce was from the east. Now, apperance wise, Fei Long obviously was modeled after Bruce but I never said anything about apperance now did I?
no you didn't that's why I asked what you mean since fei long was capcoms bruce lee! And Bruce lee was born in America so that means he was from the west ! Do you have some sort of technicality so your opinion holds ground since I just threw a HADOKEN through your misleading statement?
Chuck Norris is the Eric Clapton to Bruce Lee's Jimi Hendrix... if Anyone Doesn't Understand that then they Need to Reflect on the Actual Art of Martial Arts...
Snowdog Bruce Lee was teaching martial arts for about 12 years before he did his action movies. Chuck Norris, Joe Lewis and Mike Stone were all under the teaching of Bruce Lee when they were winning the World Titles. These are facts, then he closed his schools to persue his film career...
lculliver Chuck Norris on Why Bruce Lee Died. It was recorded at the San Diego Comic Con around 1976. A young honest Chuck Norris says something to the effect of when Bruce allowed Chuck to land a hit. Bruce Lee had trained and sparred with many high kicking Martial Artists who practiced Tae Kwon Do, Hapkido, Shotokan and the high kicking styles of southern Chinese Kung Fu etc.
+Jimmy J just another chuck norris joke my man. ive never seen him shave his chest and proceed to braid the hair into a fully automatic machine gun either... but hey, with chuck, you never know 😉
Chuck I respect your work as a martsial arts judo fighter movie star and walker Texas ranger but you are nothing compares to Bruce Lee he had the fastes kick and the fastes punch from that day till now I never saw someone that has fast moves like him . Today we have mobile tricks to make someone's punch looks fast as a bullet but in those days you can't do tricks only your ability and master B.Lee had that ability and was unbeatable sad thing the he left us young RIP master Bruce Lee & Brendon lee
I'm Chinese, and I respect both Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee equally. Both of them left a remarkable history that leave us in awe till this day. Chuck Norris also seems to age really well for a 75+ old guy!
On no small level, I'd say. Chuck was a skilled and talented martial artist already, but he pretty much owes his film career to the exposure he got in Return of the Dragon/Way of the Dragon.
Don Rabbit I would agree. Without Lee and his movies, we may never have heard of Norris. Yet you never really hear Norris giving Lee the credit he deserves. And in an arena where "honor" and "respect" are greatly talked about, I see no honor on Noriss' behalf towards Bruce Lee. Lee is who really gave the martial arts the place and respect it rightfully deserves. Maybe there is a clip out there somewhere of Norris giving honor and respect to Lee, but if there is - I've never seen or heard of it.
bruce also taught chuck hands and chuck taught bruce kicks. they exposed each other to their markets chuck was well known in the usa which also helped bruce here and vice versa with bruce exposing chuck to asia an the rest of the world. i areal 2 way relationship
Very interesting, such a kewl guy, seems humble and down to earth. And he sure does take care of himself. Just goes to prove you how food and exercise is important.
im 5'9" weigh 165lbs bench press 270 1 spotter... and Chuck is damn near 70 years old work out on his home gym .....AND HE CAN STILL KICK MY ASS ALL THE WAY BACK TO MY HOME TOWN OF COMPTON... and i cant even be mad about it...
Bruce Lee NEVER beat Chuck Norris in a real competition, that is just an internet legend. He only fought him in movies..BRUCE LEE movies so he always won...how is that fair? Bruce Lee never took on Chuck Norris in a real karate tournament or even in a Chuck Norris movie. Only in a Bruce Lee movie where he knew he could convince the script writers to let him win and make him look dominant because the HERO has to win right and if you are the STAR you are the hero. It doesn't matter that he never defeated his opponent in a fair fight. Chuck Norris got robbed and Bruce Lee gets all the glory today and people saying he is better than Chuck Norris when he didn't EARN IT he just went to some script writer and said "hey pal make me win or you are FIRED off this movie!" what's the dude going to do, go against the star and get fired???? No way. Which is why Bruce Lee won the fight. End of story.
Bruce Lee went to the script writer and said ' Hey Pal make me win or you are fired" ARE YOU FOR REAL??? It was a movie for F@#@s sake and as Norris said he was helping out a friend, just like Lee would of done for Norris if he asked him to be in one of his movies. And there is your ignorance diplayed, because you had no idea Bruce Lee actually was the script writer for that movie. Why would Lee want to fight Norris in a real fight, they were friends and had mutual respect for each others ability. They had nothing to prove, they were both great fighters in their own right. My opinion, and its only my opinion, if you watch the 2 of them in Way of the Dragon on film, it is clear that Lee is much faster and a lot more flexible and lighter on his feet. I believe Lee would of been to quick for Norris and would be the superior fighter.
Bruce was on a higher level than most men ever, not just in fighting, he was philosopher and very wise man.They are not in the same league, if they where to fight for real, Bruce would rip him apart, and i mean NO tournament crap, that's just sport, REAL fight is something different and Bruce was real fighter, that is wide known, you can check his background and see it. He didn't fight for sports.
1. Chuck Norris does not wear a condom. Because there is no such thing as protection from Chuck Norris. 2. Some people wear Superman pajamas. Superman wears Chuck Norris pajamas. 3. Chuck Norris can slam a revolving door. 4. When the boogeyman goes to sleep, he checks his closet for Chuck Norris. 5. Chuck Norris is the reason why Waldo is hiding. 6. Chuck Norris can set ants on fire with a magnifying glass. At night. 7. Chuck Norris will never have a heart attack. His heart isn't nearly foolish enough to attack him. 8. Chuck Norris once kicked a horse in the chin. Its descendants are known today as Giraffes. 9. Chuck Norris doesn't breathe, he holds air hostage 10. Chuck Norris' tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried. Ever.
+geovanie flores In what? They never had a real fight. The fight they had was in "Way of the Dragon" a movie that Bruce directed. Norris was World Champion, an Honor Bruce never received.
+Offgrid Cabin six inch punch , lateral kick , fastest kick ever , nunchucks incredible etc etc .... Bruce had start martial art not for competition honestly he did it for him , he literally don't give a fuck about competition .
Aside from the fact that Bruce Lee was superhuman and his reflexes and speed were unmatched by anything in this world, I'll compare them: from 1968 to 1974, Norris was by his own declaration a “world middleweight karate champion”. This is taking Norris entirely at his word, mind you. Others have had difficulty in verifying his story on this point. But what all informed commentators agree on is the fact that Norris was competing in point karate, rather than in full-contact Karate. In other words, Norris was a champion in a style of Karate in which you could be penalised for hitting someone with full force. To my way of thinking, this is no different to being declared a champion of doing Kata; while it may be a rewarding pursuit for other reasons, say… fitness and health reasons, it tells you nothing about whether the champion in question can actually fight. Bruce Lee did not compete a lot, but it is known that he won a Hong Kong Boxing championship and after all, a single full-contact boxing match tells you more about a person’s ability to actually fight than any number of non-contact competitions could, whether they allow kicking or not. Dan Inosanto states that Lee was also particularly good at integrating his striking and grappling game, in a way that was rare at the time: “One of the things that made him [Lee] unique was his ability to move from kicking range to punching range to trapping range to grappling range. At that time, most martial artists really shined in one particular range. If you kicked, you didn’t punch or grapple much. If you punched, you didn’t kick or grapple much. And if you grappled, you didn’t have the same skill level in striking. Sifu Bruce was way ahead of his time in how he was training himself and his students to be adept at bridging the gap between ranges.”- Dan Inosanto (www.alivenotdead.com/GUNGFUBEN/Jeet-Kune-Do-Grappling-Dan-Inosanto-Talks-About-Bruce-Lee-s-Ground-Fighting-profile-1412960.html) Lee started training in submission grappling by 1967, with the legendary “Judo” Gene LeBell, a generally acknowledged master of Judo ne-waza and Catch Wrestling. - To contrast, while Chuck Norris did study Judo when he was in the army, though far less intensively than he studied Tae Kwan Do, he apparently only gave serious thought to studying submission grappling in 1982, when he first encountered the Gracie family in Brazil. In terms of physical attributes and conditioning, reports indicate that Bruce Lee was 5’7″ and weighed as little as 135lb, whereas Norris was 5’10” and weighed 160lb during his competitive career. Norris would have enjoyed both a weight and reach advantage over his smaller adversary. However, Lee was famous for innovating new training methods and conditioning himself physically to a level associated only with top athletes. From two-finger pushups to a ridiculous degree of static strength, Lee seems to have exemplified a philosophy of training which was well ahead of its time. No similar stories concerning Norris have surfaced. Essentially, what we have here is a fight between the following two men: Lee, a combatant who had trained in striking styles all his life, and had success in striking at a full-contact competitive level (albeit a small amateur level), who also studied submission grappling with one of the godfathers of the art, who had an affinity for blending his stand-up and grappling styles in a way that was ahead of his time, and had trained his body to a level commensurate with high-level athletic ability. Norris, a man who had- at the point at which Lee and he met- only focussed on Tae Kwon Do/Karate with a small sideline in Judo, but apparently had limited knowledge of submission grappling and had only ever competed in point karate tournaments. On the basis of this information, I suggest that an actual fight between these two men might go very roughly the same way as the movie fight scene from "The Way of the Dragon", regardless of how great Chuck thinks he is. Chuck Norris is a pretty obnoxious person in general actually. As well as being something of a right-wing jingoist, stupid conspiracy theorist, hater of the gay folk, and hyper-religious nutjob, as we can see from many interviews he constantly bigs himself up to a level that even Steven Seagal would be proud of. Norris is no more a fighter than Seagal, even though he may be more of a martial artist. The plain fact of the matter though, is that Bruce Lee is an inspiration to millions, and his impact can be felt in the way that martial arts are practiced in a more combative and practical way these days, to the way that action is filmed in movies, to the way that Asian men and women are no longer portrayed only as dishwashers and rickshaw drivers in film. He’s won the moral battle against people like Chuck Norris, who despite the appearance of philanthropy, are actually peddling exceptionalism, nationalism, exclusionism and martial fakery to the masses. Bruce Lee was more moral than Chuck Norris, more intelligent than Chuck Norris, had a better real fighting record than Chuck Norris (the little there was of it), and frankly would have beat Chuck Norris in a fight. My money would have been on him. End of story, it's pretty clear stupid people only like Chuck Norris because he is an uneducated, stereotypical ultra-religious American redneck, while Bruce Lee was an atheist, a thinker and a genius of martial arts and philosophy with a far-eastern background.
NoobCtrl I don't know if you're joking or blinded by hatred. Certainly you're a joke one way or another. There's nothing disgraceful about Chuck Norris. The only disgraceful are your feeble accusations and amusing rage. The real gem is that you defend gays so desperately and then try to insult me with a faggot word. Lol BTW, I don't know what sentance means, butthurt....
dreamdream011 Chuck Norris is an aweful, very unintelligent and boastful human being with no merit. He won point-stop semi-contact tournaments in Karate? Big woop. He needs to actually compete in fighting before calling himself a fighter. Disgrace is the perfect word. Also, what's wrong with the word faggot? Doesn't have anything to do with gays in this century.
NoobCtrl I agree with all of your very valid points.... Most casual onlookers truly dont understand Bruce for what he was and represented. Bruce's motivations were very unique, and ambitious. His continuous drive and passion to destroy and rebuild himself not only physically but mentally is mostly what made him so dangerous. He wasn't just an athletic person with a hollywood smile. He was the whole package who took his art very seriously. He didnt get into film to become rich and famous he got into film to teach the world on a grand stage. Many ignoramuses generalize Bruce like they do someone like Bob Marley. A weed smoking Rasta, A mythological movie martial artist. Bruce pushed himself to limits that todays typical human only aspire too.... the kind of training you imagine yourself doing but once engaged you realize (Ok uh tommorrows another day or, let me go shopping) The difference was Bruce's passion and ambition he had a rare recipe in play.....
It is said that punching mannequin was later pronounced dead after shooting this video. RIP punching mannequin man, you will not be forgotten for your bravery in eating punches like it was a buffet
Anybody who has anything bad to say about Chuck, probably needs to look in the mirror and reevaluate themselves, man's a true role model for every American man, if we all worked to be a little more like him, the entire country would be better for it.
***** Chuck does not like using the term 'I learned from or studied under Bruce Lee', instead of "we trained together", because he does not wanna embarrass himself to the public or his fans.
wow chief what spelling error got you so upset? re think instead of re-think? damn fools leaving out hyphens. Or is it that he wrote Pokemon and not Pokémon
Chuck was at his best on "Return" all right.. His spinning turning kick is legendary and his speed on execution is astonishing. On one clip were he kicks a guy on the head, given the old cameras "capturing" the fight scene, you can barely see the kick. Its super fast.
Chuck Norris actually died many centuries ago but Death hasn't yet found the courage to tell him

+Godot
Bruce Lee isn't dead, it's that death himself got fired and god decided to hire Bruce instead...
Chuck Norris refuses to die because he knows Bruce is on the other side waiting for him.

try to have his level in karate little guy.........i love a lot taekwondo since 95......
I think that you men need to realize that in this video Grand Master Norris is 74 YEARS OLD! He is fatigued from Working Out and obviously winded, yet he can still do pretty well considering these facts. Now if he can do this at 74 years old can you imagine the physical Destruction that he could have unleashed at let us say 34 years old? Back when he was a professional competitive fighter he had Blackbelts in Tang Soo Do, Tae Kwon Do and Judo so he knew how to Strike and he knew how to Grapple and was already doing Mixed Martial Arts by the late 1960's. Master Norris and his very good friend Master Bruce Lee were more than 30 years ahead of their time. These great men were already training in MMA style in the 1960's when no else would have even considered it. For 6 years Chuck Norris was the World Middleweight Karate Champion and unlike the MMA fighters of today he basically had to fight his entire weight class in one night because of the tournament style rules. Something else that the MMA fighters of today don't have to deal with is the fact that Chuck had to fight and defeat the Heavyweight Champion of the Tournament to receive the Top Honors of being the Grand Champion in some of these Tournaments. In 1990 at 50 years of age, Chuck Norris was the 1st Westerner(White Man) in history to achieve the rank of 8th Degree Black Belt Grandmaster. Master Chuck Norris has more than earned all of our respect.
Correcto! Wholeheartedly agree! Wayne Arthur
I've seen a guy who lived to over 100 and within the last year when he died he was practicing Kung Fu for hours without tiring. In videos of him, he was easily faster and fitter than Chuck.
wow that would have been cool
Good points
lol
When Chuck Norris does pushups he doesn't lift himself up, he pushes the earth down.
+joydivsion77 this joke is older than Chuck Norris himself.... and just fyi, Chuck Norris predates the Big Bang.... so please....

I figured out why we haven't been attacked by the aliens yet! :)))
what about when he passes of old age
The human kind shall find quickly a new legendary hero that will inherit Chuck's immense powers to defend the Earth from the cosmic havoc. xDDD
Chuck Norris cannot be destroyed, only transformed into a new person via resurrection. It's the Law of Conversion of Norris Constant.
@Vean Studio already old tho, but since he is younger than Norris , they are sharing power until Norris find a new body...
ALIENCE
When the Alience come and destroy all life on Earth, they take 2 people alive to their planet, Chuck Norris and Jesse-Jane McParland to show their fighting skills to the other Alience. When Chucck Norris shows his fighting skills, the Alience laugh out loud and shake their heads with pity.
When Jesse-Jane McParland then demonstrates her fighting skills, the Aliens start to applaud and make her the President of their Planet.
This is a 74 years old guy talking. Her could still beat the crap out from many of the people who comment here....lol

For everyone wondering why he is panting, its not because he is almost 80, this video was shot at 60,000 frames per second and played at 30 fps.
It's incredible how agile and strong this man is at 75 years old. And this man never ages, he looks amazing.
His relationship with Jesus Christ is a huge part of that!

We're not watching Chuck Norris on UA-cam, he's looking straight at us.
Everyone griping and complaining, "Bruce would have beat Chuck!!! He was faster and Jeet Kune Do is better!" "Chuck would have beaten Bruce!!! He was a full-contact champion and Kickboxing is better!". I think Bruce and Chuck would be embarrassed by such attitudes. Chuck and Bruce were FRIENDS. They learned a lot from each other, tremendously. Chuck was a full-contact Karate competitior (AKA, American Kickboxing), he had the Professional Middleweight Karate champion title, which he held for six consecutive years. He had only ten losses his entire martial arts career, he avenged all ten losses. He also had a black belt in Tang So Do and was the 1st Westerner to get 8th Degree black belt in Taekwondo history, he also had his black belt in Judo and won the U.S. Air Force Judo Championship, meaning he was a proficient grappler and striker before he ever met Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee was a practitioner of Wing Chun and Jun Fan, he was blazing fast and combined the two into Jeet Kune Do, won some no-rules fights. Not THAT many but he was feared and respected for his precision, speed and ability, all before he met Chuck Norris. When the two met, Chuck impressed on Bruce Lee the effectiveness of grappling as a fighting style so much that Bruce was getting into Judo on his own before he died, as well as how powerful his kicks could be. Bruce impressed Chuck with his incredible abilities and no-rules experience and fighting method to the point that Chuck borrowed from it. Jeet Kune Do has influence from Chuck Norris and Chun Kuk Do has influence from Bruce Lee. BOTH fighters and their fighting styles grew stronger from the experience. They didn't fight because they never wanted to take it there because they both knew, no matter WHICH one came out on top, it would be a career-ending fight that would leave both injured. And they cared too much about each other to go that far. I love BOTH martial artists, I consider them BOTH legends and quite frankly, I neither know nor care about who would win. I'm too busy learning from both their examples. Something I think they'd appreciate more than fanboys throwing fits about who they think in their imaginations would win.
you're pretty fucking dumb
Adam Fookin Franck shut up or i
Will kick your a** off
you sound like a fat girl lol
mexicans these days are so dumb haha
Know your history man,try to read more books regarding the life of Bruce...and try to find out why he is the FATHER OF MMA!!!
he's in his 70's ? holy shit.I'll never give up my training
Homeless old men around the world automatically became more powerful when Chuck Norris decided to look like one.
Shame on you. smh.
Chuck looks great for 75 or whatever he is in this video. His personality shines through as a nice guy, unlike YOU.
My husband and I met him in Az we gave him a little buddha he was so thankful for it and said he had a place for it in his house very nice guy.
chuck norris smokes weed?
Chuck Norris never exhaled.
Jorge Serrato loooollll hes been holding it in since the first toke he ever took.
My wife saw me watching this and asked what are you doing now?
I looked her dead in the eye and said with a deadly voice
"Im watching Chuck Norris"
The dummy is made of solid adamantium
And even then, Chuck's giving it his weakest punches so it doesn't shatter into a million pieces
+Will Cooke (BaronFilms) Yup he is was tickeling it.
+Will Cooke (BaronFilms) He's not even punching it. He's making you imagine he's punching it. If he threw his weakest punch and you watched it here on your screen, your screen would shatter into a million pieces and the fist will fly out of that screen and knock you into next week.
Dummies don't hit back!
I wish Bruce was alive and they could do this programme together :)
What is amazing for me is the fact that not Chuck Norris, Steven Seagal, Jet Li, Jackie Chan, Donny Yen, or any great Martial Artist ever insulted each other, or when asked questions about Bruce Lee or their opinion about Bruce Lee spoke negative things about him. This is true masters of the art. True humbleness and great respect which is the true sense of a true master.
Chuck Norris is just a class act. He's such a gentleman, and a warrior. What a great person.
he deserves everything hes accomplished in his career
well...
chuck norris is such a great guy. and he was an exceptional talent in his day btw.
Adam N btw
Whoa... People disrespecting Chuck Norris? Okay, just make sure you look under your bed tonight... and the closets too. What nerves.
They will die sir
I roll my eyes at the countless trolls on this video. Chuck Norris is one of the worlds best martial artists and has accomplished a ton. In his younger years he moved extremely fast and was in incredible shape. Have you seen older videos of Helio Gracie? Did he move perfectly and fast? NO! HE WAS OLDER! Chuck is 74 and he is still training and can hit hard.
His close the gap 2 punch combo is a very effective technique for self defense, and in sport karate back in the day it scored points. The karate tournaments back then were a lot more hardcore and had hard impact unlike the ISKA touch crap you see today. No gloves and a distraction shot to the face and a hard punch to the solar plexus would stop the average attacker on the streets.
Everyones body fials, everyones joints slow up you cannot expect someone to remain a 25 year old powerful athlete at age 74.
Grandmaster Norris is someone all true martial artists should show respect for.
Thats because back then only whites were shown to be great and starred on big screens as the best (which is false) but in reality a lot of other people in different races were way better than what white people thought of themselves back then. He might of been fast for the rest of you stiff white folks but when bruce lee came lol.. bruce lee broke that notion along with chuck chest hair.
Karate will never be good in a street fight. JKD all the way.
thank you buddy (wich is using his brain) XD
Bruce Black Some white preschool kids out there are world karate champions does that make them champions or talented martial artists...lol no! Just because you got a championship trophy doesn't mean you are talented and gifted. Anybody can do anything that they are not talented in and make it still. But to become a legend in something now that my friend takes talent
Bruce Black Naww Bruce Lee was an innovator and a legend in martial arts
I worked out with Chuck and his brother Aaron at his Virginia Beach studio around 1978-79 (I was a student instructor at the time) and his endurance was incredible. About 6 of us worked out for about 2 hours, and the rest of us were all whipped, and Chuck says "I'm going next door to Nautilus to do some weight work". Yea, in his prime he was something to watch. Oh, and he was filming a movie with David Carradine at the time, and I asked him who wins in the movie, and he says "well, it's my movie!".
That smile when he says "Then I choke him unconscious". That is the best part of this. I love Chuck Norris!
He's one of my favorite celebrities. He's such a genuine person.
who else is here exclusively for the chuck Norris jokes ? 😂
Chuck Norris is so fast that even when this video freezes every frame, it still looks like 2x speed.
We all love Chuck!!! I grew up watching his movie as a kid
Chuck Norris won't die because he knows Bruce lee is waiting for him on the other side
Wasiq Rehman lmao so true
thats excellent
Wasiq Rehman haha
167 people skipped over the joke that he stole and saw this one first.
Best comment of this era
Love chuck Norris!!! He has earned, earned, earned, every breath of life taken and ever will have taken. If only I had known choices existed and were obtainable, I would be in a different place today. Chuck lectures and I love him for it. Thank you for being who you are, Chuck.
+Barbara Mowrey Not too late, never too late.
2 of the more iconic American martial artists/actors Love these two men. RIP Bruce, even years after your death you still inspire, and the same will be true for Chuck, if/when he ever decides to go.
Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee, the two greatest ambassadors of martial arts.
To paraphrase the master: "Rubber dummies... don't fight back."
John Westcott no shit what genius said that :L
He was probably and most likely talking if he was real
John Westcott the proper quote is "Boards don't hit back" from Enter the Dragon
lanocondo That's why I said "to paraphrase." Instead of saying, "To quote the master..."
+lanocondo Funny how this has become one of Lee's most famous phrases. It is just a movie quote folks! Bruce actually liked breaking boards and bricks. Kind regards
Died at the age of 32 , what a god damn shame , would like to see what he thinks of the world the way it is today :/
I think a lot of you are getting something confused... There is a massive difference in fighting to 'win' and fighting to survive. There are probably unheard of martial arts practitioners that would literally kill a cage fighter in the streets if the circumstances somehow favored that situation. I personally don't see two well discipline martial artists just randomly having a death battle after seeing each other for the first time, but I digress. You can't always assume because someone won a lot of heavily regulated matches that they'll be the winner. You can't knife hand someone in the throat or run your thumb through their eye in a cage or mat. If you're comparing skill Bruce has Chuck beat, but Chuck has a shit load of 'experience' in competition. Another thing to keep in mind is that these guys were good friends. So an all out last man standing type fight would probably never even cross their minds. I've studied martial arts my entire life and I've sparred with skilled martial artists. I've also never had an actual 'fight' with a martial artist. I understand that cage fighters make a living that way, but other than that, true martial artists don't go looking to start fights. Even then, your average mma fighter is probably the nicest, fun loving person outside the ring. I highly doubt that it would have ever come to a situation where we would truly know who would win in a fight between these two. Real fights have no rules, time limits, refs, most don't have hysterical people screaming in the background and no one gets paid for getting/receiving an ass beating. As I said though, Bruce does have Chuck on skill and physical ability. Chuck is accustomed to rules, but I would be a liar if I didn't say that Bruce would win in that scenario. At least in my humble opinion as a random guy watching videos on youtube.
Very random dude, very random!
There's a saying that a skilled street fighter will beat a skilled martial artist almost every time in an actual fight because when you fight in martial arts you are always pulling your blows so you don't really hurt the other person whereas in a street fight your aim is to beat the he'll out of the opponent as fast as possible and rules don't matter.
John Smith It's often true. I've noticed myself in the same attitude and realised that if I'm in that situation, I have to absolutely hate the other guy to an extent that I have to want to hurt him bad. Often, martial artists don't have that kind of resolve, probably because of the disciplined mentality we're raised with.
Michael Miller NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERD
LOLZ JK
Very true, I witnessed a "friendly" fight between a Green Beret and a foreign special ops guy, green beret won in about a second by poking his opponent in the eye, hard. That wasn't a real fight to the death, so I'd hate to face the Green beret if he actually was trying to kill.
Say what you want. Chuck is a good guy, the real deal, and could still woop your ass.
chuck Norris likes his meat so rare he only eats unicorns
+Ready Steady Clash!! Chuck could eat raw chicken and just shit it out the next day....then beat the shit out of that dummy and go for a few cold beers..lol
+Matt senpai It's a little known fact that these dummies were designed by Chuck
Norris to resemble what's left of his opponents when he finishes.
+Matt senpai
that doesn't make sense.
+danpt2000 it makes perfect sense really. it has one horn. uni=one. unicorn
+danpt2000 Yes it does, as unicorns are rare mythical creatures...Mostly because Bruce Lee killed most of them...
Loving these videos. I grew up with Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris films. He looks great for his age.
Chuck Norris was never fast. He is still as stiff as he was when he was fighting Bruce Lee and bruce is the fastest well the fastest that we know for now to ever pop on the big screens. And bruce lee whooped Chuck norris ass making Chuck look like a bitch!
Once again,Bruce didnt whoop Chuck. Going by a movie is so childish and presuming. "Movies can show anyone whooping anyone's ass". Its called Choreography,and fantasy as well. Look at Uma Thurmann in the Kill Bill flix,according to those movies,she can beat up 50 samurai's simultaneously,but in real life,she freaked out and immedietely contacted authorities when there was but one person stalking her. If she was anything remotely close to what she was in Kill Bill flix,she would've promptly taken on that one mere stalker and disposed of him.
Do you seriously think a perfectionist like Bruce Lee would have cast a "stiff", poor martial artist as his ultimate nemesis? Lee has cast legends like Ji Han Jae in his films. If Norris hadn't measured up, do you really think Lee would have given him the shot?
Chuck Norris deserves respect. Lee respected him -- that tells you everything.
No matter how fast Bruce could be, he's gone forever and no one can really bring him back. But Chuck Norris is still alive and he really does a good job in Martial Art; just skip the huge space between their individual fighting ways, people who love Martial Arts won't even give a **** about who would win if let them fight again.
What you all have to understand is this even though it was a movie everybody saw as plain as day who was fast and who had more technique and skill to show on camera. Chuck had his chance and didn't have it but bruce sure did. But what you white folks have to ask yall selves is this who was the mentor of who again?? Oh yeah bruce lee was the mentor of chuck norris and was was named the godfarther of mma? mmm was it chuck old country stiff ass? mmm no.. oh yeah it was BRUCE LEE!
Rodrigo Lee Oh ok, I noticed that you called some people as "white folks", I am not white btw. Also, about who is "the father of MMA" would be a controversial one if you insist on your opinion. I don't know where you came from. But as a Chinese citizen(who does admire Bruce), I just think Bruce's "Jeet Kune Do" should not be overstated(Everyone Chinese Wing Chun fan knows how Bruce combined it with the modern boxing). If you wanna know how did Jackie Chan described Bruce Lee, open this Chinese news (ent.ifeng.com/entvideo/detail_2012_12/13/20126562_3.shtml).
The guy's still hitting hard at 74. Just imagine the power he could've delivered in his 30's.
Growing up I loved watching Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris. Ieven went to one of Chuck Norris Karate schools. Got to meet Chuck when i was there. Was one of the best days of my life. Someone how the only pitcure I had with my ended up missing. Only one we can find was the one with my 2 sisters. Go figure.
Love ya CN and thank you for you're service!
For me it was and is still the best fight scene of all time
Stopped watching movies?
There used to be a street named after Chuck Norris, but it was changed because nobody crosses Chuck Norris and lives.
Chuck seems a very nice guy. A pleasure listening to you man. I wish more people today could smile with their eyes when talking about something special, and want nothing in return. What a cool man.
Bruce Lee beat his ass...lol. Funny how some Americans still think Chuck Norris is the best...
Lol ikr? It was a movie and Bruce lee is dead chuck norris lives on
Look!! These are the 'murica i am talking about. Please tell me if Chuck Norris is as fast as Bruce Lee. Speed is the most important element in a fight. Not to mention strength and Lee's techniques. Totall outclassed Chuck Norris.
***** Your intelligence really fits your profile pic...
SilentMover95 And you need to get a sense of humor.
They never fought in real life. A movie could have David Spade beat the crap out of Bas Rutten. Would you then say, "Oh Yeah,David Spade Really Kicked Bas's ass ?! : /
Chuck owes whatever he is in life today to Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee was the star and if he wouldn't have invited Chuck Norris to act in his movie, till today Chuck would have been an unknown face and non-decript martial arts instructor struggling somewhere.
hahaahah Chuck Hoboris
Give it up for Carlos "Chuck" Norris! Still inspiring and teaching at many different levels all to so many students.
Chuck was average good, Bruce was scary incredible with his quickness and strength and with all of that he had incredible skill defensively and offensively.
Look at all these martial arts experts in here.
My Karate instructor, Fumio Demura & my father, The Great John L, were both friends of Chuck. In '83, I was working my small dojo in Arkansas. With those connections, I traveled to CA, and Chuck invited me into his home. We trained a couple hrs, visited & took pictures. I was 26.
When I went home, I held my head higher & was the talk of the town. It helped business & I've always admired him for that. Back in the 70s, I went with my Dad, when he armwrestled Chuck in Breaker Breaker. He asked me to be an extra. I'm the 20yr old kid, in the Chef's hat.
😂👍🏼
Yeah but, who can teach me to rip off chest hair like Bruce Lee? Definitely don't see that technique in competition.
Nathan Bryant I'm gay
Stahp Did you mean to say, "I'm game."?
I just think body hair has been neglected as a target for attack on those who possess it.
And that was, somehow, (i believe) comecial relief for the scene
He was a Karate world champion then but that doesnt mean anything in the world of multiple martial arts and artists. Bruce Lee didnt believe in competing in tournaments, but learned in real life and death combat situations.
LOVE That Bruce Lee story. Looking good Chuck Norris!
that dummy was sent to the hospital after the video.
OptimusXian Prime 😂😂😭😭
Word is that dummy rooted for Bruce Lee once
Chuck Norris may be the only 76 year old no one would want to bump into in a dark alley.
I have been one of your biggest fans since your movie. .the octagon. .you have always been a great inspiration. .Thank you. .Master Norris..
I think of Chuck as Ken and Bruce as ryu
So then who the fuck is fei long?
dru713281 I ment to say thier friendship is like Ken and Ryu. They were friends. Ken was from the west and Ryu was from the east. Chuck was from the west and Bruce was from the east. Now, apperance wise, Fei Long obviously was modeled after Bruce but I never said anything about apperance now did I?
no you didn't that's why I asked what you mean since fei long was capcoms bruce lee! And Bruce lee was born in America so that means he was from the west ! Do you have some sort of technicality so your opinion holds ground since I just threw a HADOKEN through your misleading statement?
peacockmusicpage I was thinking that!!!
Children stop fighting nothing lmao
chuck norris' hair is afraid to fall off his head
He wears a wig you idiot
He's wearing a wig you idiot and he never washed it
3 yrs later and the comments below are freeeking hilarious 😂😁🤣🤣😆😆
Chuck Norris is the Eric Clapton to Bruce Lee's Jimi Hendrix... if Anyone Doesn't Understand that then they Need to Reflect on the Actual Art of Martial Arts...
Snowdog Bruce Lee was teaching martial arts for about 12 years before he did his action movies. Chuck Norris, Joe Lewis and Mike Stone were all under the teaching of Bruce Lee when they were winning the World Titles. These are facts, then he closed his schools to persue his film career...
lculliver Chuck Norris on Why Bruce Lee Died. It was recorded at the San Diego Comic Con around 1976. A young honest Chuck Norris says something to the effect of when Bruce allowed Chuck to land a hit. Bruce Lee had trained and sparred with many high kicking Martial Artists who practiced Tae Kwon Do, Hapkido, Shotokan and the high kicking styles of southern Chinese Kung Fu etc.
wait... i thought Eric Clapton and Chuck Norris were the same person :)
Britton Keene did you ever see them in the Same place at the Same Time?
+Jimmy J just another chuck norris joke my man. ive never seen him shave his chest and proceed to braid the hair into a fully automatic machine gun either... but hey, with chuck, you never know 😉
Chuck I respect your work as a martsial arts judo fighter movie star and walker Texas ranger but you are nothing compares to Bruce Lee he had the fastes kick and the fastes punch from that day till now I never saw someone that has fast moves like him . Today we have mobile tricks to make someone's punch looks fast as a bullet but in those days you can't do tricks only your ability and master B.Lee had that ability and was unbeatable sad thing the he left us young RIP master Bruce Lee & Brendon lee
Both of these men respected each other. Iron sharpens iron.
I'm Chinese, and I respect both Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee equally. Both of them left a remarkable history that leave us in awe till this day. Chuck Norris also seems to age really well for a 75+ old guy!
So...on some level Bruce Lee made Chuck Norris
On no small level, I'd say. Chuck was a skilled and talented martial artist already, but he pretty much owes his film career to the exposure he got in Return of the Dragon/Way of the Dragon.
Don Rabbit I would agree. Without Lee and his movies, we may never have heard of Norris. Yet you never really hear Norris giving Lee the credit he deserves. And in an arena where "honor" and "respect" are greatly talked about, I see no honor on Noriss' behalf towards Bruce Lee. Lee is who really gave the martial arts the place and respect it rightfully deserves. Maybe there is a clip out there somewhere of Norris giving honor and respect to Lee, but if there is - I've never seen or heard of it.
bruce also taught chuck hands and chuck taught bruce kicks. they exposed each other to their markets chuck was well known in the usa which also helped bruce here and vice versa with bruce exposing chuck to asia an the rest of the world. i areal 2 way relationship
perhaps it was mutual. I certainly think they respected each others talents.
Very interesting, such a kewl guy, seems humble and down to earth. And he sure does take care of himself. Just goes to prove you how food and exercise is important.
Bruce Lee is such a Legend that every single fighting game made now has to have a character based off of him. He lives on!!!
my friend and I watched this together and he claimed he could fight chuck Norris no problem. his body was never found
Jesus walked on water, chuck Norris swims through land.
im 5'9" weigh 165lbs bench press 270 1 spotter... and Chuck is damn near 70 years old work out on his home gym .....AND HE CAN STILL KICK MY ASS ALL THE WAY BACK TO MY HOME TOWN OF COMPTON... and i cant even be mad about it...
just got done watching return of the dragon,,,,netflix got it now
How is it
King Lion classic
Nice I'm going to watch it now should I grab popcorn lol
"chinese boxing!" ..classic
***** you pay for netflix, yes. Dumbass
Damn when he put that dummy in that choke hold I was about to pass out just watching this video.
Lol. I move grabbed my attention too.
Mr Norris on a serious note is a genuine inspiring man. Comes across as one with talent and heart.
Keep inspiring
I remember this guy only because of Bruce Lee's movie called "Return of the dragon"
Bruce Lee NEVER beat Chuck Norris in a real competition, that is just an internet legend. He only fought him in movies..BRUCE LEE movies so he always won...how is that fair? Bruce Lee never took on Chuck Norris in a real karate tournament or even in a Chuck Norris movie. Only in a Bruce Lee movie where he knew he could convince the script writers to let him win and make him look dominant because the HERO has to win right and if you are the STAR you are the hero. It doesn't matter that he never defeated his opponent in a fair fight. Chuck Norris got robbed and Bruce Lee gets all the glory today and people saying he is better than Chuck Norris when he didn't EARN IT he just went to some script writer and said "hey pal make me win or you are FIRED off this movie!" what's the dude going to do, go against the star and get fired???? No way. Which is why Bruce Lee won the fight. End of story.
Bruce Lee taught Chuck Norris most of what Chuck knows.
Norris was one of Lee's pupils.
Bruce Lee went to the script writer and said ' Hey Pal make me win or you are fired" ARE YOU FOR REAL??? It was a movie for F@#@s sake and as Norris said he was helping out a friend, just like Lee would of done for Norris if he asked him to be in one of his movies. And there is your ignorance diplayed, because you had no idea Bruce Lee actually was the script writer for that movie. Why would Lee want to fight Norris in a real fight, they were friends and had mutual respect for each others ability. They had nothing to prove, they were both great fighters in their own right. My opinion, and its only my opinion, if you watch the 2 of them in Way of the Dragon on film, it is clear that Lee is much faster and a lot more flexible and lighter on his feet. I believe Lee would of been to quick for Norris and would be the superior fighter.
markflem
Yeah, ever since Bruce Lee died Chuck tries to hint that he's better than Lee.
Not very classy.
They were great friends and sparred often. If Bruce actually lost once I Chuck would've kept it in record and told everyone too.
Bruce was on a higher level than most men ever, not just in fighting, he was philosopher and very wise man.They are not in the same league, if they where to fight for real, Bruce would rip him apart, and i mean NO tournament crap, that's just sport, REAL fight is something different and Bruce was real fighter, that is wide known, you can check his background and see it. He didn't fight for sports.
Chuck Norris has gained and merits the RESPECT of every Martial Artist in the world. A true American Icon.

You're right!
1. Chuck Norris does not wear a condom. Because there is no such thing as protection from Chuck Norris. 2. Some people wear Superman pajamas. Superman wears Chuck Norris pajamas. 3. Chuck Norris can slam a revolving door. 4. When the boogeyman goes to sleep, he checks his closet for Chuck Norris. 5. Chuck Norris is the reason why Waldo is hiding. 6. Chuck Norris can set ants on fire with a magnifying glass. At night. 7. Chuck Norris will never have a heart attack. His heart isn't nearly foolish enough to attack him. 8. Chuck Norris once kicked a horse in the chin. Its descendants are known today as Giraffes. 9. Chuck Norris doesn't breathe, he holds air hostage 10. Chuck Norris' tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried. Ever.
Bruce lee made norris look like a rookie
+geovanie flores In what? They never had a real fight. The fight they had was in "Way of the Dragon" a movie that Bruce directed. Norris was World Champion, an Honor Bruce never received.
+Offgrid Cabin yeah but norris could not beat bruce lee in a fight and they both knew that. chuck even admitted it
+Offgrid Cabin six inch punch , lateral kick , fastest kick ever , nunchucks incredible etc etc .... Bruce had start martial art not for competition honestly he did it for him , he literally don't give a fuck about competition .
+Offgrid Cabin Tournaments are not real fights. Real fights have no rules.

My first Bruce Lee movie I ever saw and still my favorite!
Aside from the fact that Bruce Lee was superhuman and his reflexes and speed were unmatched by anything in this world, I'll compare them: from 1968 to 1974, Norris was by his own declaration a “world middleweight karate champion”. This is taking Norris entirely at his word, mind you. Others have had difficulty in verifying his story on this point. But what all informed commentators agree on is the fact that Norris was competing in point karate, rather than in full-contact Karate. In other words, Norris was a champion in a style of Karate in which you could be penalised for hitting someone with full force. To my way of thinking, this is no different to being declared a champion of doing Kata; while it may be a rewarding pursuit for other reasons, say… fitness and health reasons, it tells you nothing about whether the champion in question can actually fight.
Bruce Lee did not compete a lot, but it is known that he won a Hong Kong Boxing championship and after all, a single full-contact boxing match tells you more about a person’s ability to actually fight than any number of non-contact competitions could, whether they allow kicking or not.
Dan Inosanto states that Lee was also particularly good at integrating his striking and grappling game, in a way that was rare at the time:
“One of the things that made him [Lee] unique was his ability to move from kicking range to punching range to trapping range to grappling range. At that time, most martial artists really shined in one particular range. If you kicked, you didn’t punch or grapple much. If you punched, you didn’t kick or grapple much. And if you grappled, you didn’t have the same skill level in striking. Sifu Bruce was way ahead of his time in how he was training himself and his students to be adept at bridging the gap between ranges.”- Dan Inosanto

Lee started training in submission grappling by 1967, with the legendary “Judo” Gene LeBell, a generally acknowledged master of Judo ne-waza and Catch Wrestling.
- To contrast, while Chuck Norris did study Judo when he was in the army, though far less intensively than he studied Tae Kwan Do, he apparently only gave serious thought to studying submission grappling in 1982, when he first encountered the Gracie family in Brazil.
In terms of physical attributes and conditioning, reports indicate that Bruce Lee was 5’7″ and weighed as little as 135lb, whereas Norris was 5’10” and weighed 160lb during his competitive career. Norris would have enjoyed both a weight and reach advantage over his smaller adversary. However, Lee was famous for innovating new training methods and conditioning himself physically to a level associated only with top athletes. From two-finger pushups to a ridiculous degree of static strength, Lee seems to have exemplified a philosophy of training which was well ahead of its time. No similar stories concerning Norris have surfaced.
Essentially, what we have here is a fight between the following two men:
Lee, a combatant who had trained in striking styles all his life, and had success in striking at a full-contact competitive level (albeit a small amateur level), who also studied submission grappling with one of the godfathers of the art, who had an affinity for blending his stand-up and grappling styles in a way that was ahead of his time, and had trained his body to a level commensurate with high-level athletic ability.
Norris, a man who had- at the point at which Lee and he met- only focussed on Tae Kwon Do/Karate with a small sideline in Judo, but apparently had limited knowledge of submission grappling and had only ever competed in point karate tournaments.
On the basis of this information, I suggest that an actual fight between these two men might go very roughly the same way as the movie fight scene from "The Way of the Dragon", regardless of how great Chuck thinks he is.
Chuck Norris is a pretty obnoxious person in general actually. As well as being something of a right-wing jingoist, stupid conspiracy theorist, hater of the gay folk, and hyper-religious nutjob, as we can see from many interviews he constantly bigs himself up to a level that even Steven Seagal would be proud of. Norris is no more a fighter than Seagal, even though he may be more of a martial artist.
The plain fact of the matter though, is that Bruce Lee is an inspiration to millions, and his impact can be felt in the way that martial arts are practiced in a more combative and practical way these days, to the way that action is filmed in movies, to the way that Asian men and women are no longer portrayed only as dishwashers and rickshaw drivers in film. He’s won the moral battle against people like Chuck Norris, who despite the appearance of philanthropy, are actually peddling exceptionalism, nationalism, exclusionism and martial fakery to the masses.
Bruce Lee was more moral than Chuck Norris, more intelligent than Chuck Norris, had a better real fighting record than Chuck Norris (the little there was of it), and frankly would have beat Chuck Norris in a fight. My money would have been on him.
End of story, it's pretty clear stupid people only like Chuck Norris because he is an uneducated, stereotypical ultra-religious American redneck, while Bruce Lee was an atheist, a thinker and a genius of martial arts and philosophy with a far-eastern background.

I don't know if you're joking or blinded by hatred. Certainly you're a joke one way or another.
There's nothing disgraceful about Chuck Norris. The only disgraceful are your feeble accusations and amusing rage.
The real gem is that you defend gays so desperately and then try to insult me with a faggot word. Lol
BTW, I don't know what sentance means, butthurt....
dreamdream011 Chuck Norris is an aweful, very unintelligent and boastful human being with no merit. He won point-stop semi-contact tournaments in Karate? Big woop. He needs to actually compete in fighting before calling himself a fighter.
Disgrace is the perfect word.
Also, what's wrong with the word faggot? Doesn't have anything to do with gays in this century.
NoobCtrl Seems like you're trying to confuse me with your stupidity.
Insulting Chuck Norris sounds like a compliment when it comes from an idiot.

I agree with all of your very valid points.... Most casual onlookers truly dont understand Bruce for what he was and represented. Bruce's motivations were very unique, and ambitious. His continuous drive and passion to destroy and rebuild himself not only physically but mentally is mostly what made him so dangerous. He wasn't just an athletic person with a hollywood smile. He was the whole package who took his art very seriously. He didnt get into film to become rich and famous he got into film to teach the world on a grand stage.
Many ignoramuses generalize Bruce like they do someone like Bob Marley. A weed smoking Rasta, A mythological movie martial artist.
Bruce pushed himself to limits that todays typical human only aspire too.... the kind of training you imagine yourself doing but once engaged you realize (Ok uh tommorrows another day or, let me go shopping) The difference was Bruce's passion and ambition he had a rare recipe in play.....
BossWave DonKilla Agreed.
Anyone who would just stand there and let Chuck beat on them has to be a real dummy.
Chuck Norris is a brilliant actor as well. You are a legend.
It is said that punching mannequin was later pronounced dead after shooting this video. RIP punching mannequin man, you will not be forgotten for your bravery in eating punches like it was a buffet
"Return of the Dragon" you mean "The Way of the Dragon"
In the US it was released as Return of the Dragon
I would be careful before chuck Norris come correct you 😆
Someone tried to correct Chuck once.......and only once.
Anybody who has anything bad to say about Chuck, probably needs to look in the mirror and reevaluate themselves, man's a true role model for every American man, if we all worked to be a little more like him, the entire country would be better for it.
Chuck Norris once fought and killed his own reflection in the mirror!
***** Chuck does not like using the term 'I learned from or studied
under Bruce Lee', instead of "we trained together", because he does not wanna embarrass himself to the public or his fans.
Chuck Norris is so unique that Pokemon try and catch him.
You should rethink your spelling
wow chief what spelling error got you so upset? re think instead of re-think? damn fools leaving out hyphens. Or is it that he wrote Pokemon and not Pokémon
@@jhanks2012 "chuck Norris tries and catch Pokémon"
Probably why I've never seen a pokemon.
Love watching this chuck Norris video
Chuck Norris is getting old now. He no longer takes one breath every 5 years; it is now one breath every 4.9 years.
Chuck is the next closest thing to Bruce. Love you Chuck!
First movie of Chuck Norris, which ever made, was with Bruce Lee. ;)
Chuck is a nice guy, i like to hear more about his friendship with Bruce.
Chuck was at his best on "Return" all right.. His spinning turning kick is legendary and his speed on execution is astonishing. On one clip were he kicks a guy on the head, given the old cameras "capturing" the fight scene, you can barely see the kick. Its super fast.
Did yall see all those mini fists in his beard???
