VINTAGE - Yes, Bruce was VERY GOOD at Wing Chun

[@edwardhenne3204]

I love watching your videos amigo. I love that you honor your teachers and your open mindedness. Personally i seriously trained two arts seven star mantis and xingyi. But ive played with many different arts and each gave me some jewel to make me a better martial artist. Keep on keeping on brother.

Bruce was so prolific that people today who live in a very insecure, tough guy society, feel better about themselves through talking trash. That's the only way they can feel their fragile egos are secure. Sad.

[@halfassedfart]

Man, if you want to see a clown car full of insecure ass mayo sapiens, all you need to do is to hit up a Bruce Lee analysis video. Can't fucking inhale without choking on the smell of sour milk.

[@user-zx7eo7nu4b]

BS, actually people that say this is old enough to know better. People like Van Damme get no recognition nowadays yet was 10 times the fighter than Bruce Lee was. In all the years Bruce Lee trained he never fought, never with an opponent. No, Bruce Lee was not a great fighter, he was a great actor just like his nunchuck film. That was an allusion. It’s not trash talk, it’s fact ! I looked up to Lee as a kid, I still do, but he was not a fighter. Fighters are not afraid to be hit.

[@ddmound]

@@user-zx7eo7nu4b I am glad someone realized that Bruce was not who he wanted ppl to believe he was. In an interview, he said he didn't know that it was going to go this far. This means he did not know the Triads were (domiciled at Harvest Studio to wash money) going to pick him up and make him a cash cow. But he was afraid to compete bc of the beatings he took from 12-16 by the 8th Street Junction tigers who had vowed to kill him if they ever saw him on the streets of Hong Kong. His father put him on the next train (plane) smoking out of China to America. I wrote the truth about Bruce that I got from True Triad Martial Artists. I entitled the book "What "really" happened to Jun Fun Li?" He was a paper tiger.

[@vtpoet5300]

On the centre line. Off the centre line. Completely natural. That’s the VT journey. JKD is 80% Ving Tsun. Bruce’s VT was excellent. As a Martial Artist, he was exceptionally talented, but it was hard work that made him the legend he has become. And deservedly so. Great interview. 👍👍👍

[@linuxva]

Bruce ask Yip Man for teaching him "Fa jin" expressed on MYJ . Bruce know the MYJ external form and Wong Shun Leung , William Cheung , Duncan Leung and other friend exchange information about Wing Chun . Also if you look careful in the movie Enter the dragon you will see some moves from Biu Jee . People believe Bruce Lee real fighting are looking like his movies ...lol. I think he don't give you any chance and will be very quick . If you search on utube you will find Phoebe Lee (Bruce sister) who talk in a weird "chinglish" about how Bruce demonstrate her and talk about "chi" and practical use in martial art . So , SIGONG BRUCE LEE deserve a place in a lineage of Grandmasters of Wing Chun !

[@forestsnow6508]

He was not taught the entire system. eod

[@gw1357]

Well reasoned and well supported argument. You're a phenomenal martial arts scholar.

[@cambumbo77]

Thanks for putting the truth out there .. Bruce Lee was always evolving, growing. From wing Chun to JKD -- The circle that never closes -- always learning and growing is key

[@joanstone6740]

I think if Bruce had gotten into XINGYI and BAGUA he would not have left chinese martial arts. Because the internal styles have the freedom of improvisation that he was seeking. I read somewhere that he did admire BAGUA for its movement strategy and infinite changeability

[@raygsbrelcik5578]

But that's just IT! Bruce founded the ULTIMATE Fighting method; The one that was Practical, Economic, Adaptable and,....EFFECTIVE!

[@josephperkins4857]

​@@raygsbrelcik5578 😂 there is no ultimate

[@cesarcrash]

I think it would be agains his thoughts. He could learn Bagua and anything that China can offer and still look for everything that the rest of the world can offer.

[@davefletch3063]

I think Bruce Lee didn’t have the patience for those systems

[@willms7173]

There is a natural boxing style that relies on improvised forms, rather than prearranged forms. Lee probably would have liked this style. I don't recall the name of this style, and practitioners from various other styles arrived in the US over the years after Lee's passing. In one of his early ch'i sao videos, it almost appears as though he's using silk reeling energy, which is something that Chen style taiji quan is known for. Maybe he figured some things out on his own, and learned a number of things from others as well.

[@zminvestllc9919]

THIS IS WING CHUN!! I WENT TO HONG KONG AND MET WITH WONG SHUNG LEUNG STUDENT WHO WAS THERE WITH BRUCE LEE ON SET OF ENTER DRAGON, HE SAID BRUCES KICKS WHERE BEAUTIFUL, AND WONG COULD NOT TOUCH HIM. TO SAY THAT BRUCE LEE COULD NOT FIGHT, IS ABSURD!

Also in an interview WSL mentioned that Bruce would go for tackles (mixing grappling with striking.) Did WSL mention any specifics about Bruce's fights or mixing martial arts?

Bruce basically did Wing Chun since his teens if not earlier with friends at school … he knew much more than he told everyone. I guarantee he knew all the forms, maybe not directly from Ip Man but who knows? I visited the Ip Man memorial hall in Foshan back in 2016 and found out about how much other kung fu he knew such as Southern Praying Mantis, Hong Gar and his Dad also taught him tai chi

[@theheroandlegendchannel]

See wing Chun is inside of everything. Bruce also learned some BukSilLum. Most people don’t even know what the word jeet translates to. People gonna talk. They talk as if they know everything. Great interview and great techniques! Keep up the good stuff😊

[@voiceoverandmocapguy]

You and I have the same mindset on Bruce's fights. Highly against the odds he was the greatest fighter to ever live, but he knew his shet and was not "just an actor." He was the real deal.

[@JohnnyR-kt4oo]

Still amazing and I plan to attend a Wing Chun training.

[@willms7173]

Apparently, the basics can take someone a long ways.

[@g1o2h3a4n]

The thing is that reality based arts and sports don't look good and Bruce Lee said and taught that. Like Adam Chan stated do research before forming an opinion ladies and gentlemen. As far as contribution goes the only "full contact" in the west at that time was boxing, judo and wrestling(grappling in general) everything else up till late 70's maybe was point based ineffective stuff which gave not only bad name but also even worse trained practitioners in karate and most martial arts. Bruce Lee changed that and bettered many martial artists and the approach of many schools at the time.

[@Johnsmith-pd3uk]

Do you know about our have you meet Sifu Duncan Leung? He was a childhood friend of Bruce's. He trained with Bruce, and if memory serves, he brought Bruce to Ip Man's school. He had talked about how good Bruce was, how fast, but also how nice he was.

[@jaehwan123]

In terms of order, I don't think Wing Chun is any different from the the other systems. I think most systems teach the useful stuff at the beginning. In boxing, you first learn the jab. In judo, you start with the ogoshi and the osotogari, two throws that you'll use your entire career.

Thank you for the video, shamefully even I fell into this trap, I thought he left wing chun in China, didn't know he found an even better master wow 😍

[@rickeymckissick2065]

I think Bruce Lee is an excellent an amazing when wing chun what amazing is how he changed the structure of wing chun to develop the style jeet kune do he’s probably the most creative and focus martial arts that everybody in the planet ever witness he deserve more respect for what he did he also knew how to combine Wing chun in to American boxing he’s probably 20 years ahead of everybody in the knowledge of Martial Arts and his amazing speed and still today he inspired many athletes and even many working people in the world which they can use his philosophy and his disciplines to use in the real world

[@cprpremiumhandymanservices3735]

Exactly! Honer Bruce Grandmaster William trained Bruse

[@JL-ku7wo]

Bruce would get an A+ in Jazz but would get an F in classical music. That is the best way i can describe his martial art. Started with slt and ck and improvised to make it work with other martial arts, kicking and grappling, not sure what JKD weapons are, but WC is always dragon pole and butterfly knives. JKD is mma with martial arts around the world while WC is mma within china mixing snake and crane styles. A purist or traditional would never learn a martial art from a foreign land that was the way back then, different times now where you can learn anything.

Image if Bruce Lee knew about Yiquan. That fighting style really fit his view on being formless, shapeless, like water. Also Bruce is proof that there are no great Martial arts only great Martial artist.

[@axelstone3131]

I don’t think adding more and more on top of what Bruce could already do would make much more of a difference. He figured out stuff a lot of people still can’t figure out for themselves.

[@MrCBTman]

Bruce often visited and learned from Liang Zi Peng, a Yiquan Sifu in Hong Kong. If you look at his JKD, it was clearly influenced by Yiquan. Their combat philosophies are too similar, even down to fighting with the strong side forward.

[@axelstone3131]

@@MrCBTman this information is not mentioned of corroborated by any else. I have read a lot about Bruce Lee over the years and his biggest influences were arguably western forms of fighting. JKD is simplistic and direct with little to no wing chun in late stage JKD. He himself said it is more of a western martial art than anything relating to gung fu. Especially by the 70’s. Bruce learnt from a few people, that’s it. He didn’t learn from everyone and everything as the popular narrative today likes to push. Where are you getting your information from? How was JKD influenced by “Yiquan” ? In what way? Strong side forward? That’s nothing new there are other systems that do this. If that’s your “evidence” it’s laughable.

[@MrCBTman]

@@axelstone3131 I’ve studied both JKD & WC. What you just said is pure bullshit. Utter garbage, devoid of facts. And what I said about Bruce’s connections to Yiquan was described in detail by a very respected Hong Kong Sifu, CS Tang, in The Complete Book of Yiquan.

Dont believe adam chan great guy l9ve his wing chun but to say a secret master was teaching bruce and Jesse told him lies bruce learned from a friend of his dad few gung fu forms before he left for usa facts 😊

[@XavierJustice-is2or]

Wong Shun Leung took over most of Bruce Lee’s training in Hong Kong due to his diligence. Ip Man, had very little hands on training with Bruce Lee. It was Wong’s ‘a thousand punches a day standard’ that shaped Bruce Lee’s fanaticism. Fook Yueng was his other instructor in USA. And one of the few who up until his death visited Lee’s grave. Don’t believe everything Tommy Carruthers says either. Had it not been for Jesse Glover, most would not have known about Tommy Carruthers. Would you call Adam Chan a liar to his face?

@@ddmound He mastered kung fu. That should be obvious.

[@ddmound]

@@MrCBTman Hey I am not trying to take anything from Lee. He was and will be forever the first Asain (although he was not full-blooded Chinese, and something he hid very well in the US) International martial artist movie star. But in real life Lee was a fake MArtial artists who had no respect for Chinese traditions of Martial Art so they put him and his son down! But to deal with your issue. You said Lee mastered kung-fu. No he didn't! Name one system of kung-fu he mastered. Like him you are ignorant of what Martial Art is or even what the words mean. Bruce said "to him" martial arts means to express oneself earnestly. That is BS! No one can change meaning of ancient words. ANd what he said applies to anything artistic, ballet, gymnastics, music, sports, etc. Wing chun is the least of Southern China kung-fu's. This is what got Bruce in trouble after he was run out of China for fear of his life at 18.; (he was seriously bullied from 12-16) His father bribed Yip Man to teach him. Most kung-fu's take 5 year training, except WC which takes 3 years. That is bc it was designed by a woman for females. This is the number one reason Lee found its weaknesses. To be a Master in Gung-fu you must train from a MAster for 12 years straight without interruption. Y+The minimum age is 6, and with the 12 years of training, that means no MAsters are below the age of 18. I was fortunate to trianed by the most prolific Martial Artist in the world who had received training directly under the grandmaster who was promoted him as a Master after 10 years. (never before in Shaolin history) I was 18 when I met him and he was 16. I had been learning Chinese Kenpo (that the whites boys turned into karate) and then Shaolin from James Cook who showed me where kenpo came from. Then I met my Gugn-fu Instructor who showed were it all came from. I say all this to say Bruce Lee was a fake Martial Artist and was actually afraid to compete. All he ever did was demonstrate.

[@MrCBTman]

@@ddmound Bruce was definitely a master of wing chun, given what WSL and others who have much more credibility than you have said about him.
