Joe Lewis Tries To Teach Bruce Lee Karate........ Then This Happened

Karate grandmaster Joe Lewis is a former World Karate and Kickboxing champion from the United States. He's sure his Karate in more powerful than Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do and tries to teach Bruce Lee a little lession. But it backfired as Bruce demonstrates in this video.
Here is the full story: • Bruce Lee's Big Fight ...

[@BeerdyBruceLeeCentral]

Joe and Bruce became great friends after this, Bruce offered Joe the role of Colt in Way Of The Dragon, but Joe refused to lose to Bruce in the movie, he wanted the fight at the end of the movie to be a draw, Bruce said no and they ended up arguing over that fact and the friendship was over. Bruce offered the role of Colt to Chuck instead, and the rest is history.

takes alot to overcome fear as both did in different situations. Joe maybe more competition and Bruce more in experience of life in general. I don't remember from what I've seen Bruce ever in exhibition actually do anything except try to improve as in what he'd learnt to enhance someone else interested in life or this life style. I suspect this is why he's still remembered. if I may I'd like to add someone that will explain life in this and more ways Sadhuguru. definintly fighting is not his aim just life and more in a general sense. this is all great. like life can be.🙏😀👍 all the best to everyone

I was in High School in Seattle in 1962 or 63 when Bruce Lee visited my school. We were told that there was going to be an early morning meeting of the Lettermans Club just before an all school assembly. At the meeting was this short young Chinese guy, We were told his name but the name didn't stick at that time. He came around and talked with each of us personally for a few minutes and he was trying to teach a martial art. In 1963 (or so) we didn't know what that was. Anyway, he shook hands with each of us and we were off to the assembly. It was in the school gym. Turns out this guy was the center of that assembly and demonstrated his talents. I even saw him do this punch. He got one of our very husky football players to volunteer to take the punch. After the assembly we soon forgot about the whole thing and went on being 16, 17 year old kids. Years later I managed to put 2 and 2 together and figure out who the guy was. At that time he wasn't famous. That is how I met Bruce Lee. Since then I have been to him and his sons' graves many times as I have family at the same place.

About 2000 I was in San Francisco and a taxi I was riding in had about a dozen Bruce Lee action figures sitting on the dashboard. We were stuck at a Rail Road crossing and I commented to the driver about the figures and mentioned I had met him. He was interested so I told him the story I posted above. When I got to my destination and I was going to pay the driver comped me the ride for the story. Surprised me but seems he was happy to have met someone who had met Bruce Lee.

Thanks for the great video of these two legends. My father and Joe Lewis served together in the Marines in 1964-65 and earned their black belts in Shotokan karate (the style developed by the great Gichin Funakoshi) in a dojo in Okinawa. My Dad was the only other heavyweight, so worked with Lewis every day, which he said was brutal, especially his side kick. Lewis earned his black belt in 7 months, my Dad in 11. Besides work, they had little else to do, and focused on their karate day and night. Dad said Lewis would have him hold his feet while he walked on his knuckles on the concrete of the dojo floor and out on the streets and footpaths, until Lewis' striking knuckles were like horns. He said Joe Lewis is the baddest man he ever met.

Then bruce lee throws a punch from 2 feet away and says try and block it... "everyone claps" now from this and his movies all of a sudden hes the greatest fighter ever and no one could stand a chance... do you realise how ridiculous that it... and how much that spits in the face of all the REAL fighters that have come and gone... Bruce Lee fighting record is 0-0 yet he gives a few irrelevant and actually quite funny demonstrations and that makes him the greatest fighter and martial artist ever... go and watch Anderson Silva defend the UFC title over 10 times ... watch him front kick Vitor Belfort in the face , or do a reverse uppercut elbow knockout on an opponent then you will what a great Martial artist is...

[@silvazoldyck366]

Bruce didn't discover it. He learned how to generate force like this from doing Wing Chun in Hong Kong. "Intercepting fist", which Bruce named his system after, is a concept from Wing Chun, where an opponents attack is seen as an opportunity to also attack and deflect at the same time, hence "intercepting fist." People in the West think Bruce invented all these things because he was the first to bring them to the west but much of his knowledge came from kung fu. Where he was more revolutionary was including techniques from other styles, rather than sticking dogmatically to a system as taught by a master.

Make no mistake. Bruce was not a force of nature, he studied and trained ceaselessly to become one. He operated on this premise. Make a fist as tight as you can. Okay, now make it a little bit tighter. A little bit tighter... That is Bruce. You made it tighter, right? And, tighter still? You're initial instruction was to make a fist as tight as you can. You couldn't make it tighter. But did. The lesson? Nothing is so good that it can't be made, done, better. Had Bruce lived on, he would have just kept getting better. Scary to think.

[@derekweiler9466]

@@alexandrucatalindragan6842 While i agree the 6" punch isnt practical in a fight, it is a great show to how a grounded stance along with a 2 way tork motion can generate a great amount of force, even from a 6" distance. Its a great learning tool in developing powerful strikes without throwing your bodyweight behind it as it requires all the same fundamentals as a longer distance strike which will have even greater force behind it. So learning the 6" punch is used to both learn the proper body placements and movements to powerful punches as well as teach it through demonstrating its effect even at short distances. This is why this event shown in the video was more of a demonstration, rather than some sort of comparison or competition... Used to insight and inspire future generations into learning and perpetuating the arts...

[@Mochishaveice]

@@derekweiler9466 What if that fight was in a space of a phone booth. I'm sure that 6-inch punch or multiple punches with Bruce's power would do damage. To say it isn't practical is just dumb. When you're in a fight, anything goes.

[@Mochishaveice]

Just wanted to add for example: what if Bruce got in a fight with a guy in a car or small elevator where there is not much room to really punch like in a "practical fight." These kinds of fights happen everyday all over the world. I would bet Bruce would destroy another capable martial artist in such an example. He would explosive with his fist at short distances or confined spaces. He was a master and channeling his energy into one punch or kick.
