Michael Jai White & Vlad Debate Who Would Win a Fight: Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan? (Part 15)

[@AxelFoley-sb5re]

Bruce Lee was born in 1940 and my grandfather was born in 1938 here in Cleveland,OH, when my grandfather graduated school he went to college in San Francisco and met this small, skinny 18 year old named Bruce Lee back in 58 or 59 I think he said and Bruce was teaching my grandfather martial arts back before the world even knew who he was! My grandfather got caught up in some shit out in the bay and he told Bruce he was going to stop training with him unfortunately because of what he had going on at the time, but Bruce told my grandfather to follow him to Seattle where he was going to go to school for philosophy and drama (Bruce was just finishing HS) my grandfather got all his money together and met bruce in Washington where they both attended The University of Washington and was working in a restaurant that was a friend of Bruce’s family. My grandfather trained with Bruce for 3 years and became really good friends with him and one of his first American friends. He was also good friends with Bruce’s wife Linda! My grandfather told me a lot of stories about Bruce and how strong he was, how fast and almost mystical as he put it. He said Bruce would fight ALOT!!!! And the matches would last about 90 seconds (if that). Bruce was ahead of his time so fighting against fighters back then I’m sure he mopped the floor with them, but it’ll be interesting to see what he could do with these guys! My grandfather passed away in 09 and miss his stories all the time!

The fact that almost 50 years later there's still a discussion of who could beat Bruce Lee should tell you everything you need to know.

[@TheRealSephiroth]

Bruce lee was just a little ahead of his time, had it been another 20 or so years hed be on par with all the other guys in terms of martial arts stardom cuz nowdays what he did is not that profound by todays standards, the only thing we can give him credit for really is just paving the way for others. Bruce lee walked so guys like jackie could run. Theres still plenty of people alive today who were impressed by lee in the 70s and theyre just looking back to him with nostalgia goggles on. He was good for what he had at thr time sure but now and even back then there were and are people that could best him. As much as i like lee but i always thought personally jackie was better simply because of how much pain hes put himself through. Jackie could take everything bruce had to throw at him and then some. Jackie might say otherwise but most martial artists are humble like that. The only way i see bruce winning is if he were to outright kill jackie with the very first move. Again i like lee but i have to admit hes way overrated, people want him to be invincible and cant accept that everyone him included has flaws and they still cant get over his untimely death. People need to put the credit where it actually is and not embellish it 🤷‍♂️

[@elvisjimpa100]

Jackie was also fighting full contact all the time in the peaking opera school for 10 years with his highly skilled kung fu brothers sammo hung and yuen biao.I dont remeber hearing that Lee was fighting full contact with experts for 10 years.

[@afranks8566]

@Orion Jimmy eh yes and no. Yes, they were fighting, but a lot of that was based around choreography. Which is much different from actual fighting. I remember reading a book where he was interviewed, and he said that he had only been in 1 real fight his whole life. It was at a bowling alley where he was with a bunch of people, and they fought another group of people, and he described it as being wild and chaotic and much different from what he was used to. He said he probably only used a fraction of his training in that fight. They won, but they got banged up in the process and admitted that real fighting was much different from stage fighting. He was about 17 or 18 at the time.

[@afranks8566]

@Orion Jimmy Bruce was an actual streetfighter. He had grown up fighting on the streets of Hong Kong, had won an amateur boxing tournament as a teenager and even as an adult he was still getting into plenty of fights with other martial artists and extras. The style that he invented Jeet Kune Do was primarily meant for a practitioner to learn how to fight in the streets. That's why I say, based on experience alone, I think it goes to Lee.

He said Bruce wasn’t a fighter, that’s all he did before coming to the states street fighting and gang fighting. Also back in those days the so called professional fighters did point fighting which isn’t really fighting either. Even when they moved to what was called full contact wasn’t that either they were restricted to certain areas and types of blows. One other thing even Joe Lewis who was a multi champion a heavyweight said Bruce punches like a heavyweight although he weighed in at 135 pounds. Mr. White is good and also a good actor obviously he missed what Bruce’s students meant. Why would a champion train under someone that wasn’t great. No one especially a champ would do that.

Even Jackie Chan would laugh at the notion that he could beat Bruce Lee. For anyone who saw Enter The Dragon, the guy who played Bolo was also a real martial artist who was at least the size of Michael Jai White or bigger. A little known story is that Bolo challenged Bruce to a match off the set one day and that Bruce whooped Bolo and there's a picture I saw of Bolo on the ground after Bruce got done with him. The only reason Bruce was allowed to teach Americans was because he accepted and won a fight challenge against China's best Kung Fu master. Everyone who was present at that fight said Bruce won easily after chasing the Kung Fu master around and eventually making him submit. So to say Bruce was just an actor is absurd. He wouldn't be able to teach Kung Fu unless he'd mastered it himself first. Also Bruce trained Chuck Norris and Jim Kelly, and in one of his last interviews Jim Kelly said Bruce was the greatest martial artist he'd ever seen. He said Bruce used to beat everyone at the gym in hand to hand combat and then right after, do the same with just all kicks. There was a former world champion (I forget his name), but he said one time Bruce Lee came to his martial arts gym and whooped everybody in there and he said the dudes Bruce beat up and hurt were all sizes with some much bigger than Bruce. Anyone with common sense can just look at Bruce's inhuman speed, strength and technique to see he wasn't just an actor.

Bruce Lee techniques in the movies were pretty basic but executed very well and clean. There are martial artists and black belts all over the world who can do exactly what Bruce did in his movies. Many martial artist can do way more complex acrobatic highly skilled kicking techniques for example. Bruce Lee is a all time great hero but not an unvincible fighter that could beat any fighter in the world. Thats the superheroe fantasy many people have who dont know martial arts and fighting.

[@channel-nv9xc]

Bolo wasn't a martial artist, he was a bodybuilder who casually trained martial arts for fitness. And Wong Jack Man wasn't China's greatest fighter. He was an assistant instructor in San Francisco who got sucked into all of Bruce Lee's trolling and issued a challenge. The irony is that it wasn't over the right to teach westerners. Wong Jack Man's school had westerners in it already. Most people said Bruce won, but accounts vary on how difficult it was and how long the fight took. Bruce himself said he was tired and felt like what he was doing wasn't working. It's the whole reason he decided to create JKD, because that Wong fight wasn't as easy as he thought it should be.

[@channel-nv9xc]

While I don't think you could pluck Bruce Lee out of the time stream and he could beat a modern professional MMA fighter, I do think he could take out Jackie Chan without too much trouble. If you saw Jackie's cameo in Enter the Dragon, they're not much different in size and Jackie never thought of martial arts as combat application. Bruce didn't have a lot of real combat experience against other top fighters, but he at least thought of how to apply martial arts in combat. He understood what would work and what wouldn't and did enough training to be able to apply it well against anyone who didn't have that kind of perspective. Jackie Chan only ever saw Kung Fu as Chinese acrobatics. In many respects an MMA fighter is the state Bruce was trying to achieve with JKD but died before he could see it realized.

[@pseudonym3690]

While you can't go by movie Kung Fu, because that's all just choreographed stuff, I agree with your general assessment. Contrary to White's claims, Lee was a fighter, getting into martial arts to gain an upper hand in the street fights he was involved in due to him being bullied and then later on when he joined a gang. Chan on the other hand went to school for traditional dancing which gave him the ability to perform complex choreography, which he uses in his movies, but the stuff he does isn't combat worthy.

He’s not dissing Bruce Lee, he’s just giving his honest opinion.

[@HypnoticHollywood]

Even Jackie Chan would laugh at the notion that he could beat Bruce Lee. For anyone who saw Enter The Dragon, the guy who played Bolo was also a real martial artist who was at least the size of Michael Jai White or bigger. A little known story is that Bolo challenged Bruce to a match off the set one day and that Bruce whooped Bolo and there's a picture I saw of Bolo on the ground after Bruce got done with him. The only reason Bruce was allowed to teach Americans was because he accepted and won a fight challenge against China's best Kung Fu master. Everyone who was present at that fight said Bruce won easily after chasing the Kung Fu master around and eventually making him submit. So to say Bruce was just an actor is absurd. He wouldn't be able to teach Kung Fu unless he'd mastered it himself first. Also Bruce trained Chuck Norris and Jim Kelly, and in one of his last interviews Jim Kelly said Bruce was the greatest martial artist he'd ever seen. He said Bruce used to beat everyone at the gym in hand to hand combat and then right after, do the same with just all kicks. There was a former world champion (I forget his name), but he said one time Bruce Lee came to his martial arts gym and whooped everybody in there and he said the dudes Bruce beat up and hurt were all sizes with some much bigger than Bruce. Anyone with common sense can just look at Bruce's inhuman speed, strength and technique to see he wasn't just an actor.

[@edwardrichard2561]

Joe Lewis world Champion kick boxer said Bruce was the fastest puncher that he had ever seen. Also said he hit like a heavyweight. He knows because they trained and spared. Gene Labell Judo champion, actor, wrestler, Olympic Judo trainer, competitor in the first MMA match said that Bruce was world class. I think he would have done well if he wanted to.

[@SpaceAgeDave]

Here's the thing do you think maywether would have beat Tyson or Pacquiao would have beat Ali? No, of course you don't. Weight classes exist for a reason I love Bruce Lee to death but being that I've actually trained, I have a perspective that's not clouded by my love for an old actor.

[@flyguy7825]

Bro seriously Tyson at 5'10 210 most of every fight that Tyson fought. The other guy had a very distinctive height and weight advantage and he was knocking fools out. When it comes to fighting true fighting it all comes down to technique and opportunities and taking advantage of them. Michael, Jai White is saying a lot of stuff but all those guys that he said that have trained in and new Bruce Lee never. Not once said that they can beat Bruce Lee and they've always given Bruce Lee the respect.

@@flyguy7825 wth are u talking dude they respected doesn’t mean they can’t beat him they prolly won’t say it out of respect but it’s common sense size matters

[@epicsseven7686]

No. And the primary reason is there are rules in boxing. Bruce's goal was to create a fighting style for real life situations. Stuff that would be illegal in the ring. Bruce's main point in his martial arts is being able to have the ability to adapt to any fighting situation, size and skill. Watch the missing footage in Game of Death, where he expressed the limitations of his opponents due to styles etc

[@jxmiller3206]

@@flyguy7825 true , but when Tyson fought guys 6’4 and up , he had problems with them . He didn’t look very spectacular and usually went the distance . Heavyweights are obviously different than the lower weight classes where 10 pounds is a big deal , but eventually size just negates a lot of technique .

Size and weight are factors when it comes to a fight but not big ones. You'll learn that quickly through heavyweight boxing champions that fought opponents bigger and heavier than them. Jack Dempsey gave the best example.

Definitely a big factor. Have you yourself ever actually boxed? Would you like to move up a weight class and see what happens

Everything he said makes sense even with the constant interruptions, and most fighters today would likely man handle lee... and that's more to do with the skill and techniques of today's fighters with better striking, grappling, kicking, and wrestling.

It doesn't absolutely dictate the outcome, but size does matter in combat sports. But like any other competition, it's really about the match up...styles make fights. Sometimes it can be a classic battle of size and strength vs speed and skill...who knows who'll win that one?

[@onotualiyuohindase155]

Bruce Lee was Phenomenal and was exceptionally fast and strong.

[@kelvendyson1508]

I was with him on a fundamental level but he lost me saying Jackie Chan would beat Bruce Lee. They are both non fighters and Jackie Chan (love him) was not a hard-core martial artist like Bruce Lee was as MJW says in his philosophy and the way he lived. I mean that's just MJW's opinion but I just do not agree with that. If you watch in ETD where Jackie Chan bear hugs Bruce Lee from behind in the dungeon fight scene he's not bigger than Bruce Lee. So, he misses on that point.

The thing is, in a street fight situation, Bruce Lee's foot speed alone, with the accuracy that came along with it and with the power that came with that, would give him an upperhand against lots of pro fighters, despite their size, (i.e. he had the ability to kick fast or faster than some guys' jabbing speed). And his entire body speed and agility would assist him to get in and out of sticky situations super fast. I still say, against a big, fighter like MJW in a full contact contest (both in their prime) I would give Bruce a 50-50 chance of kicking MJW's head off, and would not downplay Bruce Lee's abilities purely based on the fact that he was not a professional fighter.
