Joe Lewis Revealed This About Bruce Lee Right Before He Died! - 100% Brutally Honest Interview

[@BeerdyBruceLeeCentral]

Joe said that Bruce made him invincible, he didn't lose one single match or fight while Bruce was his teacher. He said this just a few weeks before he died. RIP Legend, we all miss you.

Bruce lee vs michael jai white!In the heart of a dimly lit dojo, two martial arts legends prepare to test their skills in an intense battle of speed, technique, and raw power. Bruce Lee, the iconic martial artist, and Michael Jai White, the renowned actor and martial arts practitioner, face off in an electrifying showdown that will push their physical and mental limits to the edge. As the fight begins, Bruce Lee, with his lightning-fast strikes and unparalleled agility, dances around the mat with graceful footwork. His iconic jeet kune do style allows him to swiftly adapt to his opponent's movements, launching a barrage of swift punches and kicks, each strike emanating with the power and precision that made Bruce Lee a legend. Michael Jai White, a master of multiple martial arts disciplines, stands firm, his muscles rippling with strength and determination. He adopts a more traditional approach, showcasing the fluidity and discipline of his movements. With every strike, White's power resonates, displaying a deep understanding of various martial arts forms, blending them seamlessly into a deadly combination. Their movements become a breathtaking display of speed and technique. Bruce Lee's lightning-fast punches and kicks are met with Michael Jai White's impeccable blocks and counterattacks, each exchange pushing the limits of their skill and endurance. The air crackles with the energy of their clash, creating an atmosphere charged with anticipation. Bruce Lee's unmatched speed allows him to evade White's attacks with an almost supernatural grace, launching a series of rapid strikes that test his opponent's defenses. Yet, White's resilience is unwavering. His well-honed defensive technique allows him to deflect and absorb Lee's assaults, retaliating with devastating precision and power. As the fight progresses, both men tap into their inner reserves, their determination pushing them to new heights. Bruce Lee's legendary one-inch punch and nunchaku skills are met with Michael Jai White's explosive kicks and acrobatic maneuvers. Each strike, block, and counter echoes with the decades of training and dedication these warriors have invested. The fight reaches its climax as both martial artists summon their remaining strength for one final, all-out assault. The intensity of their blows shakes the very foundations of the dojo, their movements blurring as they unleash their most potent techniques. The air fills with the resonance of their strikes, creating a symphony of power and skill. In a breathtaking finale, Bruce Lee's lightning-fast strikes find their mark, landing a decisive blow that sends Michael Jai White sprawling to the ground. The dojo falls silent, the echoes of their battle fading away as both men catch their breath. With mutual respect and admiration, they share a nod, acknowledging the magnitude of their encounter. While the outcome of this epic martial arts clash may remain a mystery, one thing is certain: the fight between Bruce Lee and Michael Jai White will forever be remembered as a testament to the incredible talent, skill, and dedication of these martial arts legends.

[@stephenhogue5567]

​@hodgemusic474 Bruce Lee would not let a fight last that long because he was a extremely smart fighter with speed Michael what ever## doesn't have. I started my training with JKD back in 1981, extreme speed and accuracy with out draining your energy is key. You want to train to end a fight in seconds, not in minutes, that was Bruce Lee's philosophy and I totally agree. Michael whatever ## is an actor with a big mouth. I would like to see how long this guy would last in the ring with Mike Tyson!

[@sarendalove]

You be a grade knuckle head mr beardy if you think Joe lewis has the same power with the one punch as Master Lee. You be blind also!!

[@DD-sw1dd]

Thing about Bruce’s philosophy was he wasn’t rigid in martial arts. Back then it was incredibly ahead of the times. He’d tailor one’s training according to their own talents and he was open to testing and combining all martial arts. Take what works, remove what is unnecessary. Basically first generation of modern MMA.

[@biggieyorke8415]

Bruce Lee took much further because he was versed in weapons also.

I knew Joe Lewis personally and his brothers. My wife and I lived on the Lewis family farm and visited Kathleen, his mother every day. We lived in a trailer they rented to us. Joe's father was a big influence in his life and taught him lessons he took to Karate with him. Add to that the fact that Joe was a member of the Old Corps of Marines and studied while abroad, it is no wonder how he became so great. I served in the very last Company in 3rd. Battalion, the old Corps way with enhanced infantry training in '72. There is so much I could say about Joe and his family. I never thought he would become the legend he is today. I whooped his brother in Martial Arts after I left the Corps, he opened a dojo and I was a freestylist and thought maybe he would give me a job as instructor or assistant instructor, kind of like a good right hand man. He said the only qualification he required was to beat him on the mat. He fought dirty but I was even dirtier because of his dirtiness. I completely knocked him out and asked him if I had a job. He said " Hell no, get the hell out of my dojo !". So I left. I had seen him a number of times but he would always give me a dirty look and looked the other way. I had an opportunity to spar with Joe once and when I saw the knuckles on his fist and his shape, I backed out which I have never done before. Whether boxing or Martial Arts all my oponents were knocked out except one who won by points but his face was so cut up he had to go to the infirmary to get 65 or 67 stitches to his forehead and some other areas. The rest of my time in the Corps left me know challengers because of knock outs and cuts, even with heavy gloves on. After Joe's brother, my interest started declining and my last involvement was as a bouncer in a nightclub known as " Uncle Nasty's ". I had some fun nights as the backdoor bouncer and became the head bouncer (pun intended) as my final position. I have tried to dedicate my time to Jesus after that because the seriousness of life demanded it. I once told you about meeting Bruce Lee as a bodyguard for a wealthy businessman. I have always stayed low key and kept my force explosive and surprising. Today, I would have to practice hard just to kick a flea in his butt. Oh well, I might pursue it on a minor level to keep me from being too sedentary. RIP Joe Lewis , Kathleen Lewis and anyone else of the Lewis family who may have passed. Joe was good at staying in touch with his mother. We need more Joe Lewises around . I just wonder if superfoot is still alive and kicking ( puns again) . Boy am I getting bad ! Lets keep love first on our minds and know Jesus taught about it. Look up and read the Book of John, study it carefully. Many fighters know what I am saying and so should you Beerdy ! Take care, I love you all ! A friend always ! Merry Christmas, Happy and Blessed New Year !

Watch Bruce Lee's kicking power, and his 1 inch punch compared to Joe. You will see a significant more power in Bruce's. Although he was much lighter in weight.

But I love them both, so sad they are both gone.

It's because the 1 inch punch is a push also. The other guy was doing a snapping punch which isn't designed to push you back. The one inch punch amounts to shoving someone who is standing straight up and not bracing themselves to be shoved. So if you are solely standing straight up it pushes you and pushes you off balance and why you fall back

[@Yan4yan]

True, but I wouldn't doubt about the damage behind the punch. Just like with kicks, a snap is generally less damaging than one that pushes through. The advantage of snap being less commital cuz your center of gravity is not moving as much. We can see Joe literally moving into the target from how much momentum he puts into it, which is not ideal if it doesn't make a good contact. But the concept is there, you can have a front punch with both speed and knockout power, by emphasizing moving the core and twisting the hips. Ofc, since Joe is selling this idea, he is making it sound better than any other punch, but this definetly leaves you more open than usual if they manage to slip past it.

[@Pizmagic]

[@teztechnique3684]

[@johnellis6028]

Leave the fist loose, and compact it with a punch? We have the same principle in saber fencing: grip loose, grasp when you hit

[@nicknewman7848]

Bruce Lee studied some fencing technique in the 60's and those ideas are valid. This demonstration is more of a parlour trick to make a shorter guy look stronger than a taller guy. Get anyone taller than you to stand with their feet square and close enough together and push them hard in the lower chest and you'll likely get a result if you have some power. It's physics. The punching technique is actually more similar to how boxers hit to the body with their lead hand. Ricky Hatton is a good example. Turn the body, up through the leg to the hip, then the shoulder, extend the elbow last and if you time it right and you are are strong enough person, you can achieve this effect quite easily. Just takes a bit of practice.

[@nemesisprime2993]

Well, well, i talked about Bruce teaching Joe, how to execute his inpowers and how Bruce made Joe became a better foghter by teachings great things, but some people doubt me so i just leave them to the own ignorance, i know from watching Bruce videos, movies that he was a great martial artist, because he discovered things about martial arts very early in his younger years by reading, practicing, and so on, he was very fast, smart, skillful and powerful, and with all those abilities in one body, in a fair fight Bruce wasn't easy to beat, people can say what they want, because they are living in the modern times and they have learned a lot from him now, because he was before them, Bruce was ahead in martial arts of his time ,so know this even though some people are in their modern times i don't believe that anyone has the speed, power and understanding about the martial arts like Bruce did, is like he was born for that, there are some people who developed special abilities, insight and powers to what they love the most, for example, The mighty Atom, Alexander Zass, Michael Jackson, Bruce insights was for martial arts and they all should thank him for what he did, instead of pulling him down, i say this rest in peace Mr Lee.

The reason the guy moves more from the closer punch is because there is a pushing motion, which the long range punch does not have.

[@damionstr1ke]

Only issue I see is that when the other guy was punching Joe, he had his feet staggared to keep his balance. However, when it was Joe's turn to demonstrate the power he could generate, he had him standing with both feet parallel shoulder width apart. That stand has zero balance. Slow down the footage to .25 and youll see it's basically a push as he slightly cocks back and drives through with his fist to push him out of position.

I have never seen the so called 1" punch used in a combat situation, it is a demonstration device not an effective technique.

Joe was pulling that punch at LEAST 6" short of any contact. If it was going to DO anything to the man, he'd need at least another 1" of penetration. That will give the man a bit more time to block it. There's a reason why you're supposed to stay out of sucker punch distance, folks

[@Mannyarruda-d6i]

I have to be honest when you mentioned kung fu, I would put it near at the bottom of all fighting styles. With all due respect to Bruce Lee, I just don’t see him competing and beating a MMA fighter in his weight category. I personally think mighty mouse, or Dominic Cruz would destroy him. Has anyone ever seen Bruce Lee perform all those stunts in the movies in an actual real fight? As much as I love watching Bruce Lee in the big screen, I am not sure I’m ready to take that into the real world .

[@michaellopez2070]

Traditional martial arts may work actually work better in street fights than they do in mma, with no gloves changing the way you can throw punches, and most fights being sucker punch based. Jiu Jitsu, for example, works great in controlled matches but does’t have near the same practicality is a crowded street fight on hard ground(aka bar fight which is where most street fights happen).

[@bcjclj]

If you think that how Bruce fought in his movies is how he would fight in real life, then you haven’t done enough research on Bruce. He was all about simplicity, directness, economy of motion, with no wasted movements. Not to mention the power he could generate was unreal. He would dominate in any era. Nobody trained harder than Bruce. He didn’t need 8 weeks in training camp to get in fighting shape. He was always in fighting shape. And he was a master at assessing his opponents weaknesses. He would beat fighters with simple in and out attacks. His speed would be too much for practically anyone.

MY UNCLE YOU LIE ABOUT MY UNCLE - JOE LEWIS 6 MONTH TRAINING BRUCE LEE TALK HIM IN PUSHING KICKBOXING

[@ScottJohnson-q3c]

I’m entertained at the verbiage. How could this Asian be so great. He” there really is (no) one inch punch. Actually there is a one inch punch. There is footage of it. We are so programmed on BS. Why is it necessary to constantly challenge or minimize the greatness of Bruce Lee. Are we not allowed to respect worship and honor this man who was Asian. We have plenty of European heroes that time has proven to show: it’s about who printed the books not facts. Joe Lewis was a notable athlete and martial artist. He could not take Bruce. No one is invincible. Bruce Lee was a superb martial artist. Quentin Tarantino is typical Caucasian who can’t handle the love we share for Bruce Lee….

[@dimes2crypto]

No one does it like Bruce… maybe Lu Bu in dynasty warriors. 😂

[@UnknownSoldier1971]

😂😂😂😂😂this guy's hilarious

[@aasja7739]

At the beginning you see the student has a bad stance. You almost NEVER stand with you feet side to side. Your balance is compromised. I'll be 68 this year. I started Martial Arts traing in the very early 1960's. Stances help you create speed, power and balance. Notice the stance of both during the one inch punch. The kid is standing with feet side by side. The puncher wasn't. Before I ever heard of Bruce Lee or the 1 inch punch. I knew you don't fight with your feet side by side. It only worse if there closer together.

[@anthonyrussomano7015]

Any real martial artist would know the other guy snapped back early and joe pushed with his hit

[@redgemini9851]

Pushing someone is not power...

[@5keeno]

I know Joe Lewis was a champion kickboxer, but seeing him trying to mimick Bruce Lee's punch, I am imbarrassed for him. Watching him twisting and jurking with such gross movements, is a sad caricature, and was miles away from what Bruce Lee was doing.

[@RichardCroston-nf3wc]

He turned south paw. It was his back hand throwing as a jab. Left jab not right jab 😂. But yeah basically he just turned southpaw

[@hi-tech-skills8127]

How does beardy look like?

[@akshaykumar-bw4si]

Niceeeeeeeeeeee

[@MAXTHALOS]

👍

[@walterhough5263]

I can't say but the student is never greater than his master I tell my students, I know what you know You will never know all that I know Maybe I forgot more than I could ever teach you But they'll never know

[@incognito7597]

Might as well got a little old lady in for this demo,hes never lifted a weight in his life,bruce was way more superior.

[@donkeykong516]

Joe is just jealous he isn’t as good, charismatic, or have the star qualities Bruce had & has…even after death.

[@chillmn]

joe was a fighter

[@NcboreasVapes]

The power is coming from the hip. Lewis detracts his fist prior to hitting. Why does the target move back so far on the second jab. Im calling BS on this. Bruce simply did it. No need for chitty chatty explanations. Totally staged.

[@anthonyrussomano7015]

Nobody in the comments realizes u can push with punching I correct my students all the time not to push the bag

[@barrysmith1202]

whoa. wtf is ron wearing!

[@arkalonalan]

I wouldn't want to fight him

[@IMGTOW-rk2ii]

Blue tights blocked him every time.

[@tzodearf2596]

Delete the mysticism and parlor tricks ftom martial arts.

[@gordythecreator]

Finger-Length punch smh. It's a snap or thrust? Gathering force from THE GROUND or ALL TRICEP? Thrust punches are for show = TORQUE or I'm dangerously good at the SNAP punches that don't look like much, but inflict way more damage = HORSE POWER. REFERENCE JEAN-CLAUDE VAN DAMME in "BloodSport"

[@ThomasDobson-wh3bt]

Bullshido. To much talking - love how Joe stops his self going backwards by putting a foot back, whilst the other dude stayed in a square stance 😂

[@diontethompson8850]

Show this to Michael Jai White

[@tule8669]

Except bruce lee had trouble with a shaolin guy that he had to redo his whole curriculum
