Aikidoflow, my LEGENDARY legend is my grandfather. A World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War, Cold War and Contra War. Drafted into the World War II. A real survivor of how to stay alive. A Native American. And I love his quote. At his retirement party. "I'm not a warrior." All those of wars. And he's not a warrior. I love my grandfather.

This is Great, Bruce Lee was my reason for getting into the Martial arts also and after 23 years of studying Aikido and still going strong I get inspired by Bruce Lee's philosophy. Great job guys.

[@Aikidoflow]

I'm with you, I still get excited watching him!

[@Aikidoflow]

23 years training, that's fantastic!

[@dman0044]

Yes me too, I started way back about '80 taking TKD(Korean Art of self-defense) for about 5 years til it started to get more expensive(I could buy books on the Art for $20 ea. . Later around '96, I started in Aikido, went several times, got some good techniques down(free),I did get to test but since I haven't paid....I didn't advance. I feel I got almost enough to put with my TKD then read several books on JKD(the 4 books on BL's fighting techniques). I got "Tao of Jeet Kune Do", "Entering,to trapping,to grappling" among others,even some Ninjitsu with Stephen K. Hayes and his Sifu Dr. Masaki Hatsumi. Some books on TKD to learn a few up coming forms(just for yucks).

[@MyREDTAIL]

Same for me I first took up learning Judo then went in to Shotokan Karate for many years till my age caught up to me with the body aches etc

[@owenc2314]

Dang anything you recommend of me doing. I'm trying to learn it and I am reading books and practicing daily with training and meditation. Any tips, books, vids, etc. that you have?

@BlackSH0veldeath Bruce grew up as a street fighter... Ya I know many people in MMA did just like me but there will never be another Bruce Lee. Be water my my friend... He was completely against "style" fighting. He really started MMA and would still master it. A 20 yr old in your gym would stand no chance against an 80 yr old Bruce lee. Period! Oh btw y'all can't whoop Jackie or Jet either...

Wonderful analysis. Bruce's Jeet Kuen Do is always evolving with ideas and technique from various style. He is truly the ultimate martial artist.

[@captaindevilhawk9586]

Agreed, very in-depth and the examples were argued well with plenty of evidence

[@MaxMordecai-qg5rd]

Also Shaolin Kenpo Karate or Nippon Kenpo Karate both hybrid Mixed Martial Arts

[@homejong1850]

I did Aikido for 2 years, and then switched to Wing Chun. There are so many wing chun techniques that can end with an Aikido technique. This has developped a style named "Chin na"...

[@JorgeEFM]

As we can see you don´t know yet that Chinese Martial Arts are the oldest ones...Almost all other martial arts descend from Chinese Kung Fu.

[@np5246]

Eduardo Fortuna Iirc, chinese martial arts actually came from Indian martial arts.

[@Draceb]

Actually wing chun stems from White crane Plum blossom and snake style from a monk named Ng Mui and Chin, Na was a joint manipulation technique which was around as long as the shoalin temple or longer. Aikido is a very young art created by Morihei Ueshiba in the early 1900s. So much of Aikido will show up in other martial arts as it was developed from many other martial arts, he was also a soldier in the Japanese Army.

[@homejong1850]

Thank you for the information.

[@budokai100mph]

Draceb yes but did you know that that Aikido comes out of Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu which is a sword art art as well and is older than dirt. Its my theory that all Asian arts draw roots in KungFu.

[@losdude5920]

This was great. Never occurred to me that those were aikido techniques. It was cool how your demonstrations looked almost exactly the same way Bruce did it. You realize that Bruce wanted to be authentic and stay true to the different styles he used. Nice.

Dear Brother "Aikidoflow," you did an excellent job and have given me a new appreciation for Aikido. Thank you. Being a Bruce Lee fan since the '70s, I realized that he was eclectic and innovative, but since I know very little about O'Sensei's style, I didn't realize that Bruce Lee had incorporated this also into his system.

One more subscriber :) Not sure if Lee trained in Aïkido, but I know he trained in Hapkido under Ji Han-Jae (whom he was introduced to by Jhoon Goo Rhee). And all these techniques you mention here can be found in Hapkido too (which is not a surprise since Aïkido and Hapkido share the same Aïkijujutsu roots). So, in the end, yes : we're all working with the same tool, which is human body, so the techniques are shared between many disciplines ;)

[@Aikidoflow]

[@simontaylor3312]

I remember when I sparred with Bruce. He took defeat very graciously and when I was teaching him my style I made sure I was extra patient with him. Because I could see his natural ability. As I later told Foreman when he asked for some help, Bruce was a good student because his Ego let him accept a true Master. R.I.P Bruce Lee,perhaps my best prodigy.

[@simontaylor3312]

Anyway when I developed Akido it was more for a fleeting meeting on a battlefield where my opponant would rush at me. Once I had threw them aside we would rarely meet again. Obviously the one exeption to this is when I ran into Emporor Hirohito inWW2.....But that's another story..

[@myklmusic]

Thank You for this. I share your passion for Bruce Lee, His techniques, and The Art(s) It/ThemSelves. I began training at Jhoon Goo Rhee's school of Tae Kwon Do in Washington, D.C. in 1972. I was referred by a Friend and immediately began realization that Aikido and other styles were somehow connected. There was an energy there. For me it was a desire for Self discipline and Self control that guided me. Having seen Bruce Lee in movies, certainly I was inspired. I still am. Later in California I studied under Master Byong Yu. That was in 1973. The rest is history. I'm beginning Aikido training soon. Thank You again.

[@YearZeroNIN]

If it hasn't already been mentioned, an "underground" fighter from the 90's used a lot of Aikido techniques (throws and lock-throws). He obviously was a master of other types of martial arts, also. It was a short-lived 90's PPV-style no-holds-barred style show called "Fight Zone." His nickname was "Badd Karma" and he claimed he was undefeated in underground fighting. This guy showed incredibly advanced Aikido-type of throws. Choreographed or not, it's well worth the look. No opponent could even land an attack due to his incredible defense. And he reminds you that you don't have to be a big heavyweight to do MMA like this.

I know stuff about him, that the mass doesn't know about him, like on enter the dragon, on stage, there was a young guy who challenged Bruce Lee, to a real fight, Bruce Accepted, and Bruce beat the shit out of him, and after the fight, Bruce gave the Boy lessons on how to fight, but the boy were real fast in whatever he was doing. second, Bruce was a Street fighter. he had 26 different styles, and combined it into JEET KUNE DO.

[@johntrae1580]

Bruce Lee did not learn all of his kicking techniques from Jhoon Rhee. Infact Jhoon denies in a article from "Bruce Lee Conversations" book that he never claim he taught Lee how to kick. Before Bruce came to train in Wing Chun he had study other Chinese martial styles including Hung Gar, Pa Kua Chang, Wu and Yang style Tai Chi Chuan which he learned from his father. Chin Na the art of seizing-locking-grappling as well as fencing which his got from his brother, he knew several sets in tam toy springy leg, praying mantis, and he knew a number of techniques from Choy Li Fut. These are all styles containing high kicks and all of which he learned before he encounter taekwondo master Jhoon Rhee. He also knew a bit of Mi Zong Quan which he is seen demonstrating the Chinese Connection also know as Fist of Fury in the USA. There even exist old documented photos of Lee doing high kicks as a young man in Hong Kong before ever meeting Rhee that debunks this myth. Even Chuck Norris and famed hapkido grandmaster Ji Han Jae lay claim to having taught Bruce high kicks and grappling techniques. All of which have been proven as false. What many still do not realize is that both northern and southern styles have kicks of all kinds including high kicks in them especially the northern systems of kungfu have a vast amount of kicking in them like the high side, round, spinning, back, hook, and crescent kicks in them. Even the style(s) of Wing Chun itself contains high kicks that many do not know of or make the statement that the Chinese practice kicking high but aim the kicks low in a real fighting scenario which only partially true. Truth of the matter is Chinese believe in kicking anywhere only the body as well as using every part of the body to attack or defend with. It has proven that kicking the to the mid part or lower areas of the body are harder to defend against, generate the most power and are more practical in a real type fight. There also exist a style of kungfu in the China. One form in this style is said to have more flashy-elaborate kicks in it than all of taekwondo combine. Known as Jeet Kune Dao virtually similar in spelling to Bruce Lee's non-classical Jeet Kune Do. Now whether Jhoon Rhee exchange with Lee his philosophy and approach on kicking the Korean way is a more valid debate aside from this.

I studied in Wing Chun, and energy of the Yin Yang is every very part of the Chinese Martial arts. weather you practice long fist or wing chun. The ancient Shaolin Temple monks do this and Grand Master Yip Man was extremely good at using his energy in balance. There are a few recent movies somewhat based on Yip Man. ..and they show how chi is very important to exercises like the wing chun practice Pac Sao watch it and you will see how the transfer of light or soft is balanced wight heavy or heard strenghts..great post and am glad you can appreciate the Chinese chi energy in martial arts. I myself ?? enjoy wing chun cause you don't have to be big in strength or size...great post though and again thanks.

[@LoovesJf.]

I think Aikido is very compatible with Wing chuan kung fu. Both are suitable for close combat and do not use great power. That is, they agree with each other in terms of softly controlling stiffness. Bruce Lee was a well-known Seattle dojo in the United States, and Judo was practiced, but it was surprising that Aikido was incorporated into the this movie, Enter the dragon. Because it was accomplished in 1973, 15 years before Steven Seagal came out. Thanks a lot for posted.

A lot of martial arts styles have throwing and joint locking techniques. All the techniques are more or less similar because all human beings have 4 limbs , 1 head and 1 body(torso).

[@shengchenfan]

Grappling and Jointlocking arts Aikido ,Judo, Jiu - Jutsu and Chin na and Catch wrestling have a lot in common with each other and they cross reference techniques. It's very evident that Bruce lee studied these arts from his tremendous library of book and film but its also written that he got a lot of his grappling skills from Judo Gene Lebell, Fred Sato Hayward Nishioka and Small Circle Jiu Jutsu from Wally Jay.

[@jobeewave7677]

That was fun to watch ,you are awesome! Bruce Lee was and is to this day number one!

[@TonyqTNT]

This was a great video. It shows the intense passion and technical innovation Bruce Lee continually developed. Intrigued by why some of his grappling moves were labeled Aikido? Aikido is an absolutely beautiful and elegant martial art where the practitioners blend into and manipulate their opponent's energy. However, couldn't his techniques be labeled as Jiu Jitsu, Judo, Hapkido, Aiki Jitsu, or Sambo methods? Or couldn't his techniques be related to the multiplicity of wrestling styles emanating throughout history from Africa, ancient Egypt, the Philippines, Mongolia, India, Indonesian Silat, and English country wrestling among others world-wide. Isn't the aim of all grappling arts to blend with and utilize their opponent's energy to the advantage of the grappling practitioner? I know O Sensei Uyeshiba's Aikido was awesome! But I bet if we could time travel to 300 B.C. and show this video to some Indian warriors I bet ya someone would say wow that dude fights like my cousin!

According to my Sensei he never went past 3rd degree or Dan depending on the style. He did this, however, in several different styles (some of which are mentioned in the video). Bruce Lee took from all of this and used "what ever works."If any of this is in error; I will not be offended by corrections.

Of course you can say that these are aikido techniques but they also resemble grappling techniques used in many oriental martial arts.Similar techniques can also be found in martial arts manuals published in europe during the middle ages and the renaissance.Just shows that people come up with similar solutions to similar problems and use what works.

[@andrewvillanueva4222]

Bruce Lee was awesome. Unbelievable martial artist. Speed and power.

[@robertinealexandria2479]

[@iconaastratta8202]

very good analysis! man I could listen to this guy's voice all day too! hypnotic

[@ianappleton8507]

If I ever feel I need to change something in my life I always refer to some of bruce Lees philosophy you can be stuck in the form of a holy mind to live we do not live for we simply live

[@CronusandRhea]

I'm not surprised about this, it's was his whole existence to show us, the world, what we are capable of as long as our imagination isn't hindered by small mind.

[@Tunes342]

I thought the move at 8:15 was a move from wrestling, a double leg take down,so many similarities between the different fighting styles. I never knew it was from aikido

[@DjRickeyRicardo]

One of the wickedest videos on Bruce Lee bless

[@Aikidoflow]

thank you.

[@egarcia773]

Thank you for that last statement. We all do the same thing... I found this very nicely done. Please continue doing so.. Take care!!! Many blessings..

[@Aikidoflow]

Thank you

[@victorree7489]

I believe he was an inspiration for millions of people in include in that and since that time I'm doing martial arts more than 30 yrs he is the only one understand every single style in the world and get a perfection of that

[@dangkoen]

I strongly suspect Bruce learned most of his Aikido moves from Hapkido grandmaster Ji Han Jae. As the master himself explains, he showed Bruce movements during a demonstration of his Hapkido at a military base.

[@Dragonflyjones67]

Bruce Lee pick up grappling from his first student Jesse Glover who taught him Judo, he also pick up Jujitsu from Wally Jay which he has a black belt in. And Hapkido Ji Han Jae who founded Sin Moo Hapkido. Of course if you look at *Enter The Dragon* , he used a broaden range of martial arts in his film. Hapkido takedowns he favored the most. But from a certain point of view he also a interest in *Aikido* as well.

[@aiweightlossdiet7418]

Brilliant analysis. Forms of Aikido are often used without people even realising. Take Floyd Mayweather and look at hes defensive style... punches beimg gently redirected away, totally different than blocking. He basically blends with the energy and redirects and it worked very well. There is always something to learn

[@giantare]

Aikido's Bobe Ross! Beautiful...!

[@danciortan9849]

BRUCE LEE IS SUPREME HERO FOR ME AND MANY GENERATIONS , ALL MY RESPECT FOR YOU AND YOUR VIDEO !

[@Aikidoflow]

Thank you, it’s one of my favourite videos

[@felixlinquist]

Wow, what a great informative video! I saw Bruce Lee's name in the title and thought the video would deviate away on some other path. This connected extremely well with those "Enter the Dragon" movie clips; and frankly, gave me a clear understanding of what was going on. Live and learn.

[@harithefightlover4677]

I watched this fight tricks in Bruce lee movie.but I really listened now the tricks.thank you sir😍😍😘😘😘

[@Renaldo135]

Bruce was king. He uses Tae Kwon Do in his many kicks, Kung Fu in weapon and strikes and Aikido in redirecting. One thing that made him so effective was with that many tools in use you don't have to decide what method you are going to use the method happens all it's on depending on what the opponent does. You win when you don't have to stick to one method and it becomes second nature.

[@dennisbraun4025]

Awesome video.Thanks Aikidoflow.

[@veganwolf3268]

Bruce Lee started out with wing chung, but developed jeet kune do which uses the best of all martial arts, including aikido.

[@ncsgrocker]

Brilliant job. Was very eloquent and you could feel the admiration. He was a big influence for me getting to Martial arts. Others “Billy Jack”, Green Berets, killer elite with James Conn, Kung Fu.

[@vamtheanomaly]

Bruce Lee DID do Aikido, and everything ELSE. Jeet Kune Do is like modern mma. Also, he didn't just get his kicking styles from Korean arts, he was really big into French Savate.

[@Outrider74]

It is interesting to note that, while obviously the techniques are exaggerated and stylized for movie purposes, Lee often drew from what he would theoretically do in that actual situation for his responses. BTW, I believe one of those attackers is a young Jackie Chan.

[@BodyByBenSLC]

Bruce Lee was the first MMA fighter. He started in Wing Chun but also did boxing, fencing, Judo, wrestling, estrema. He also trained with weights made home made protein shakes and was accomplished Chacha dancer.
