I know a lot about Bruce Lee as well. Enough to know your bullshitting about his wife not being there. She was there according to her. You gonna call her a lier about it? And your version of the facts is coming from the side of Jack Man. Linda said that Bruce spend most of the fight chasing him around the room.

my uncle was a military police man in japan during the post war occupation. before he went he was already trained in boxing and Kung Fu. then whilst in japan he learnt judo. he said combining the best bits of each combat style was quite often encouraged and could turn a good fighter into a very good one. i was lucky enough to spend time with him when i was young and like Le Bell he was a monster of a man. when returning from japan his friend told stories of following him into a bar brawl and see guys flying around the room. he told me on numerous occasions that (especially USN and GI's) would always be trying to gain points with their mates by trying to take him on and generally found themselves being carried out. he accredited most of this to being able to combine skills from his different styles and i guess he was right.

One of Bruce Lee's close friends was Jhoon Rhee who was Korean taekwondo master. Rhee shared his kicking technique with him which Bruce Lee incorporated into his fighting style and Bruce Lee taught Jhoon Rhee his lightning fast punch. Lee's technique was so amazingly fast that Rhee dubbed it the "Accupunch". At one point he demonstrated it to Muhammed Ali who couldn't block it so he asked Rhee to teach it to him.

The guy who gave me these amazing opportunities which changed my life forever? Nah, he couldn't actually fight and he was kind of a jerk a lot of the time".

“I met Bruce when he was working on the television series, Green Hornet,” recalled LeBell. “Benny Dobbins was stunt coordinator for the show and he called and asked me to check out some kid by the name of Bruce Lee. ‘I got this guy who does the same stuff you do,’ Dobbins said. Of course Benny didn’t know the difference between judo and kung fu, but he wanted me to watch this new actor work. One of the first things I noticed was that although Bruce was small, about 130 pounds, he had a tremendous upper body. Bruce was also very fast and wanted to always take the action beyond what the script called for. Once the director called action, he got that and a lot more from Bruce.” New to American humor, the Chinese actor didn’t know what to make of it when Gene hoisted him over his shoulders and ran up and down the stairs doing a fireman’s carry with Lee draped over his shoulders. “Stuntmen and wrestlers have their own brand of humor and at first Bruce didn’t take my little joke too kindly,” LeBell said with a chuckle. “Eventually he realized we were just welcoming him into our group and before long he fit right in with the rest of the rowdy stuntmen.”

From the book cited by Tarantino, regarding Bruce Lee, stuntmen and the "incident" with Gene LeBell: " 'He had never done elaborate fight choreography on film-his childhood Hong Kong movies were melodramas, not action flicks. Onstage, Bruce dealt with three-dimensional space and an audience viewing from every angle. To sell a punch or kick, he had to land within millimeters of the target, what he called “non-contact gung fu.” But The Green Hornet stuntmen were all veterans of Westerns. “It was a two-dimensional thing where you had the camera over your shoulder,” says Van Williams. “You could stand three feet away from your opponent and swing, and if the guy reacted correctly and the sound effects were right, it looked perfect. Bruce could never get used to working that far apart.” Bruce insisted on close quarters combat. The stuntmen hated it. They weren’t fast enough to react to him, and as a result, occasionally got banged up. “They got to the point where they didn’t want to work on that show,” Williams recalls. “They were tired of getting hurt.” “Judo” Gene LeBell, a legendary pro wrestler, world-class judoka, and the stunt coordinator on-set, was assigned the task of calming Bruce down. “Bruce would hit you in ten different spots and as a stuntman you wouldn’t know whether to grab your jaw and say that hurt or your stomach,” says LeBell. “We did our best to slow Bruce Lee down because the Western way was the old John Wayne way where you reach from left field, tell a story, and then you hit the man. Bruce liked to throw thirty-seven kicks and twelve punches.” When reasoning didn’t work, LeBell took to joshing Bruce. “In pro wrestling, they call it ‘the swerve.’ It’s how far you can tease and get away with it,” LeBell explains. “I’d tell him he put too much starch in my shirt.” One day as part of the general joking and roughhousing atmosphere on set, the stuntmen egged LeBell into picking “the little guy up.” LeBell yanked Bruce onto his shoulder in a Crouching Nelson hold-upside down with one hand around the back. Then he slowly walked him around the set. “Put me down!” Bruce yelled. “I’m going to kill you!” “I’m not going to let you down.” “Why?” “Because you are going to kill me.” Despite the difference in temperament, the two men became friends. “I reckon I teased him so much I eventually got him to loosen up a little,” LeBell says. To Bruce’s credit, he was so obsessed with perfecting his martial arts he put up with the hazing to learn from LeBell. Bruce offered to exchange lessons: kungfu for judo and (Catch) wrestling. “I showed him some legitimate finishing holds, leg locks, arm locks,” LeBell recalls. “He told me he used one of my holds on Chuck Norris in Way of the Dragon.”' " Matthew Polly, Bruce Lee: A Life (page 186-7, Kindle Edition)

That's when Lee and LeBell had that exchange, with Lee saying he'll "kill" him if he doesn't put him down and LeBell joking back "don't kill me, champ." Lee then realized he was lacking grappling skills, so he trained with LeBell and learnt Judo, incorporating it into his Jeet Kune Do style.

Then Bruce would have jumped back and then forwards in the fencing stance and proceeded to slap Le Belle. Ding DING. How do I know it went like this? because all of Bruce's fighting friends became his students including Lebelle by regularly going to his DoJo not the other way around. Joe also failed to note that Bruce often spent 16 hours a day in and around the gym and could dead lift over 700lbs. That's the equivalent of Joe going down to 130lbs and making that dead lift.

[@surfersilver6610]

Depends on the skill level of each fighter and their weight/height/arm reach also can effect the outcome. A huge mass of a guy that does not feel your blows can just sit on you. Fight over. A small guy who knows technique and can apply it can take down a more inexperienced and/or slower fighter. So many variables, but the common word is a real experienced Wrestler will win if you don't put him down before he grabs you, and if a strong fast boxer connects on a MA fighter it will be over. It seems the MA person is at a disadvantage in both scenarios from all accounts I've read especially if those boxers/wrestlers have a considerably mass & speed to them. It makes sense too that MA is more a dance, like doing yoga for flexibility, stamina, & power but doesn't give you the raw bulk strength the other disciplines (and genetics) give you. The one thing a small guy like Bruce had over the other arts would be his insane speed. If he could avoid your blows and land his own then that would be the time to win, otherwise the other person could get the upper hand, if it was a prolonged fight. "I fear not the man who knows a thousand kicks, I fear the man who has practiced a single kick a thousand times." - Bruce [This is why Bruce is so loved not because he could beat everyone, because he even admits he couldn't, but because he was always growing, and studying philosophy and passing it on to other who wanted to learn]

What exactly did he do, acknowledge that a much larger Green Beret war hero could beat him up?

[@profanepersonality]

Bruce Lee was the first to combine multiple disciplines. Also, he had a ground game, and was so quick, you would have to be able to grab him first.

[@AJHart-eg1ys]

Except that people have been mixing styles for centuries, of course.

[@scottcarroll9201]

Almost everything you said was wrong. He was not the first to combine disciplines. He had no ground game except a few moves LeBell taught him. He was quick but no quicker than an average amateur featherweight boxer.

[@stuartleggat7176]

@@scottcarroll9201 He was no quicker than the average amature featherweight/lightweight boxer??!! Man oh man, the crap just keeps flowing out of that vacuous, know-nothing mouth of yours. I'll post a link below to the guy voted THE greatest martial artist to date; heavyweight multiple world champion Joe Lewis telling it like it was with the guy who taught him, nailed him in sparring, and was, according to Lewis, THE fastest striking opponent ever to have stood in front of him. He also says that Bruce hit as hard as a heavyweight, ALWAYS knew when you were open to be hit and you could NEVER tell when Bruce was about to launch an attack on you... Now I admit and do realise Joe's opinion is nothing compared to a world-renowned expert like your good self, but, nevertheless, I think he's still worth checkin' out below. Can I strongly suggest in future, you keep that know-nothing vacuous mouth of yours tightly shut and refrain from spewing more garbage about a guy you genuinely are clueless about...go read up on the comments of proven martial artists who actually knew him... kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4mVk6ylqb5laJI

Hey Joe, this illustrates a very important point in life: the ideological are scared and incapable of learning. They are ego driven, and use the emotion of "knowledge" to maintain a culture of fiction, in which they: know what's going on, and are in control. Love your work Joe, thank you.

It was a day dream by Pitt's character!!! As to how he would end up getting kicked off the set. It was imagined. Pitt's character even says "fair enough” and goes back to work on the roof antenna.

Bruce used that arm bar during the first fight in Enter the Dragon as well. He used it on very young Sammo Hung.

I would take Joe seriously when speaking of Gene Lebell but I can’t forget this is the same guy who said Rousey would beat Mayweather....

Mixed martial artist has a massive advantage to even the finest boxer in free fight, that's just a fact of life. It doesn't matter how good you strike if you cannot defent from the rear naked choke my man.

She would in a ufc fight but not a boxing match, different decplence.

[@AJHart-eg1ys]

@@roberttauzer7042 Of course, when Rousey faced women who could really box, the only only ground game was the game of how often Rousey could hit the ground.

Bruce Lee was misrepresented in that movie big time. If you read Lees work you would know he didnt think like that. Jeet kune Do was litterally about not being flashy and going for everything you can go for.

[@kcfromwi]

I started training Jkd back in the late 80's. Take this with a grain of salt. But the story I heard growing up in the art back then. Judo Gene put Bruce in an arm bar and Bruce could not get out of it. In the movie Enter the dragon. Bruce showed his escape in the scene where he bit the guy. I never heard anything but Respect for Judo Gene from any of the instructors I met. The thing with Bruce you might not be aware. He was small but was way stronger than he looked. He had I think a 500-600 lb heavy bag. He figured if he could get it moving and stop it with a side kick he could launch a normal sized human off his feet. During one movie. Showing off for James Garner I think. He jumped up to kick a chandelier he cracked a rib or two.

[@alphanerd7221]

Biting someone isn't an escape though. It's a way to tick off the guy breaking your arm.

[@kcfromwi]

@@alphanerd7221 one of the JKD guys that worked with the military. He developed a way to properly train biting. They would wear a neoprene suit and attach raw meat to so you could learn to chew through meat. He specifically talked about that. Yes a bite might piss someone off. Chewing off a face or an artery not so much. Thing more like the chimp attack on that woman's face. Or an animal attack. Not your sex life or wrestling practice.

Gene Lebell on Bruce Lee: I met Bruce Lee for the first time during the filming of the TV show The Green Hornet, on which he played a butler. He was a nice fellow. The stunt coordinator hired me, and I worked on quite a few episodes. During that time, I was able to get to know Bruce a little bit, and we even worked out together. He was the best martial artist of his time. Bruce and I had a bond with the martial arts, and we would get together frequently. We worked out about 10 to 12 times at his place in Los Angeles’ Chinatown and at my place. When I went to his place, he showed me what he did, and I showed him what I did. Although he seemed to love the finishing holds of grappling, it just wasn’t commercially attractive at the time. Actually, it was because of my grappling and tumbling background that I was hired to do the television show - because I could take falls for Bruce. Bruce Lee was an entertaining fellow who was very knowledgeable and very good at what he did. People may wonder just how good a martial artist he was. Well, as I said earlier, he was the best of his time. Also, many of his former students are doing very well today. That’s a sign that he was a good martial artist and that he was able to make his students into good martial artists.
