I have to smile when I read comments suggesting that Bruce was just an actor. I am an old man who was practicing when Bruce was active. One of Bruce's friends was the pioneer TaeKwonDo instructor, Jhoon Rhee. Jhoon said Bruce would come over to his house and they would workout til 5 or 6 in the morning. I had the opportunity to spar with Jhoon's son, Jimmy one time. Jimmy launched a lunching front kick at me that I saw coming but was just too fast for me to avoid. I remarked that now I had a little insight as to how fast Bruce Lee was. Jimmy, who knew Bruce from his visits to their house, laughed and said that Bruce was so much faster than he was. After seeing Jimmy's speed I could barely imagine how fast Bruce must be if Jimmy thought he was "so much faster" than him. Bruce Lee was a martial artist first that got into acting and not just and actor.

And all the protection on Bruce why? It shows he wasn't a profession but an amateur.

The way of the intercepting fist or foot. His technique is to strike before being struck. Not telegraphing at all. In southpaw stance even though he's right-handed in order to have his strong side forward. I've adopted this too. Much of what he taught is a revelation and still relevant today. Also he is going easy on his student here.

The best fighters can read what their opponents are going to do well. Some fighters have very telegraphed moves but having fast hand eye coordination and knowing how to balance distance between self and opponent well from ranged kicks to close range hook moves and throws. Mostly its better to be not too close so if they step forward can catch them quick with a kick or sweep because their next move will be a defensive counter but if they in the middle of a step forward they already in mid action which makes them more vulnerable to a strike to knock them off balance . Power isn't the be all of fighting it's more about physical balance to react or act that makes the biggest difference. If a heavy dude tried fighting a small guy if his balance is all over the place in comparison to the lightweight guy, his own brute strength can be more of a handicap than a benefit.

Excellent observation, Sensei. JKD stance is based on fencing, narrowing the body to reduce target for your opponent to aim. Also, the rear leg acts like a spring, cocked ready to launch forward when administering a jab. I trained in JKD for a short time, the principles behind in each movement was carefully examined by Bruce Lee before applying it to his form. It does look very showboating but when you’re actually sparring it does make a whole lot of sense.

My grandfather once met him (he was a master/owner of a Kenpo dojo) Bruce Lee was a practitioner of several martial arts styles including but not limited to Wing Chun, european fencing, and Greco roman wrestling. He really does move like a fencer, and his outreached hand with very little coverage for his center reminds me of something called a Fools Guard, keeping your sword low and seemingly wide open but it's actually the starting position for many attacks and gives you an unobstructed view of your opponent, while also giving your opponent a too-easy target that most would try to take advantage of. It's a bit risky if you're not very practiced at it, but I guess of you're as fast as Bruce then it doesnt matter. Not to mention Wing Chung mostly attacks at the center line anyways as a means of defense while attacking so another reason the center isnt as guarded

That's a sign of someone who is very comfortable with what they are doing.

1:22 Bruce leaves a target wide open for his opponent on purpose. His long guard is just a mask. As you know, martial arts is based on deception. He is inviting his opponent to work to get through the guard at the target HE (Bruce) wishes. In this manner, Bruce ALWAYS has his opponent right where he wants him! He always lets his guard down too... a lot of people look at it as though he's showboating, but the directive in any fight is to end it. Inviting someone in at you opens the opportunity for a takedown.

''Going in when the opponent starts to move'' -- That's exactly why it's called Jeet Kune Do (The way of the intercepting fist). Bruce Lee would intercept with counter attacks, pretty much like in Wing Chun. The reason why he was so good was because of his speed. You cannot intercept the way he did if you're slow. Bruce Lee's speed was incredible and I think that's what made him good. He uses a lot of Jeet Kune Do techniques in the way of the dragon against Chuck Norris. Which is interesting because this fight scene looks like a Shotokan/Kickboxing (point fighting) fight vs Jeet Kune Do. Of course, it's a movie so I'm not saying that's what would happen in a real Shotokan vs JKD match but Bruce Lee was very intelligent in the way he produced his fight choreographies.

No Doubt Bruce Lee been a Legend. And rly rly good at martial arts. He was the reason alot ppl, like me started with martial arts. And still doing it their whole lives. BUT : No one knows if he was rly a decent fighter. He never participated in any tournaments. Ofc there was a reason. If he wins? Nothing happends. everyone expected him to win. If he loses, he loses all. Ofc say any critic about Bruce, would get a shitstorm.

So the fight against the master that was sent to stop him from teaching non Chinese that he beat in 3 minutes didn't count , or the multitude of fighters that challenged him while filming ( he never backed away from a challenge ) none of that says to you that he was good at what he did? Tournaments are good for one thing, bringing in more students, my Take Kwon Do instructor was all about honor for the school .... My Tang Soo Do instructor was just as bad, so glad I found a Hung Gar school and learned for the art, not making money for my dojo .

A lot of people don't realize he took several kinds of dance lessons at an early age. He really understood how the body moves (body mechanics). Unfortunately, he was addicted to speed later in life. He died way too early.

Bruce was bullied when he was young which is why he got into martial arts. He used to be a champion dancer, learned wing chun, did fencing and boxing. All of these things helped develop his fighting style. It angered the Chinese that he taught martial arts to Americans when he came here but they still put up statues of him. Any other random facts you want to know, ask away.

Those sparrings were in Long Beach Karate Tournaments with Dan Inosanto (first) and Taky Mura (second) both his students, there are many interviews with some of his pupils, Joe Lewis talks that Bruce Lee could hit like a Heavy weight, Jim Kelly, and so on. Bruce Lee was a Legend and people picked up martial arts because of him, not so much from Karate Kid. Master Lee took distancing from fencing, kicks and punches from french savat northern and southern Kung fu styles, wing chun, western boxing(Bruce was a former Hong Kong boxing champion), pank silat, indonesia martial arts, Karate, jiujitsu, etc. Thanks for this review Master!!

Bruce Lee practiced karate with Chuck Norris. It’s amazing how fast Bruce could hit his opponent with a roundhouse and short range. I have seen that video before but never noticed that roundhouse till now because it was so fast. He also had really good control. It’s one thing to throw a roundhouse to the head but it’s another thing to physically stop the motion.

I think one of the reason why the other guy is only aiming for 1 or 2 attacks at a time is because of how sparring were back in the day. The strategy and tactics back then for karate is so much different now. As funakoshi said Time change, the world changes, and obviously the martial arts must change too. The karate that high school students practise today is not the same karate that was practised even as recently as ten years ago, and it is a long way indeed from the karate I learned when I was a child in Okinawa

I grew up watching his movies along with a bunch of old Kung Fu movies. Daggers 8 is one of my favorites but in my opinion, the respect factor of martial arts in many ways has been lost because of the rise of mixed martial arts. These days, people talk smack when in front of a microphone like WWE wrestling and long gone are the days where you respected the art in which you train or your opponent for that matter. The rise of social media and self branding doesn't help much either. I could be 100% wrong but, this is the way I see it. I miss old school martial arts.
