BRUCE LEE CHANGED THE MARTIAL ART WORLD WITH 1 THEORY! BRUCE LEE EXPOSED THE FAKE MARTIAL ARTIST.

[@xyzcv5]

I only need to look at Bruce Lee's knuckles to know he's legit. Never really understood where the skeptics came from.

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

@xyzcv5: LOL! For sure! Those knuckles have hit things buddy!

[@mohammedmiah7554]

His size

NOTE TO THE FORUM: YOU CAN SKIP AHEAD TO THE TALK ON LEE'S BOOK "TAO OF JEET KUNE DO" AND "CONTACT" WHICH STARTS AT THE 9:16 POINT. I DO SAY THOUGH, THAT YOU SHOULD RETURN TO HEAR THE FIRST 9 MINUTES THOUGH OF THIS VIDEO BECAUSE I ADDRESS MY CRITICS WHO HAVE BEEN INSULTED BY SOME THINGS I HAVE SAID. S.C

[@illkid86]

My sidekick is equivalent to your left jab in boxing Bruce lee in 1969

[@illkid86]

Be water brother Sayf I could picture Bruce lee as an 84 year old speaking to u dressed in Chinese attire while smiling I really believe he'd still he training at his age and I could see him in Pacqauio corner at his fights

[@illkid86]

Your no nonsense approach and Bruce's passion both of you cats sharing knowledge would of be stuff of legend brother Sayf and the little dragon

[@WillieSherman-cq9uo]

I'm hearing negative things about Bruce Lee.l considered that he the physical developed martial artists ever.

[@derekchin6403]

Preach it, brother. We’re roughly the same age, and I’ve been training since I was young as well. Anyone who doubts Bruce Lee’s fighting prowess simply isn’t doing enough research or paying attention. The dude grew up fighting on the streets. He fought so much he got in trouble with the police and got kicked out of Hong Kong. Read John Little’s book, watch Jim Kelly’s interviews, or really any interviews by people who knew him, OTHER than Joe Lewis, Bob Wall and Chuck Norris, who threw shade on him only AFTER he died, to build themselves up. Ask Mike Tyson and Sugar Ray Leonard what they thought of Bruce’s fighting ability. I know one more thing…he would’ve loved you. I don’t know about Jon Jones and the Rock, though. BL was freaking fast, and powerful to boot.

Everybody gets out of character at times. Thanks for your honesty sifu.

[@Mongomingus]

I never skip any part of your videos. I enjoy every bit of knowledge you provide. Thank you.

[@michaeltheodore5149]

Any day I see Mr. Carmen drop a video is a good day. Keep sharing the knowledge and shutting down the ignorant critics.

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

@michaeltheodore5149: We appreciate your kind words and support.

[@khairt1731]

17:46 Bruce Lee created his art for the Street so thats why he taught strong hard forward because the first hit in a street fight counts the most. Sometimes all it takes is that 1 punch right on the button and its over and thats more likely to happen if you hit with your strongest hand first. As a boxer I thought it was weird when my JKD instructor told me to fight southpaw.

[@lsporter88]

That's true, Movie Actors simply never talk like that, and they certainly never fight like that. I look forward to the next and last in this series. Great video.

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

@houseofdues: I disagree with one of my teachers on Bruce Lee. He is wrong about Lee and I have told him so.

[@thebrownbaldy]

Thank you for this input. Your videos are no filter, straight to the point, and for that I can respect.

[@NOURABU-RABIE]

i had no idea self-defence teach dominant hand in front, it make sense since wrestling is natural unlike wraps.

[@lannelbishop3668]

Dr. Karmen every time I hear someone saying that Bruce Lee wasn’t a fighter or that some low level ufc fighter would’ve taken him out , I know I’m hearing a racist who’s ignorant of martial arts in general and have no real knowledge of Bruce Lee. They haven’t read any of Bruce Lee’s books or know who Bruce trained with or how fighting styles Bruce mastered besides wing chun. They don’t know that Bruce Lee grappled, fenced and boxed. They don’t know that Bruce Seen Muey Thai and other martial arts before they were seen in movies. They jokers think that fought like he did on screen. They think his grappling ability was just what they saw in movies. Ed Parker , Gene Labelle ,Joon Rhee were friends and training partners for years. I’m 60 now but 32 years ago I met older Brother who were students of Sensei Miner and Sensei Coefield that said that they met Bruce at tournaments in NYC in the 60s. That he was always impressed by Black fighters’s speed and agility.

[@joethao2161]

Brotha, Joe Rogan is fulla &hit!!!

[@brotherkamaal6644]

Yes sir! You're telling the truth beloved.

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

Yes sir! "beloved"? Old school :). Where are you from?

[@gloasiatic]

I was talking to an older brother by the name of Sudan who was very good in Muy Thai a few years ago. I think he mentioned you. He said the brother was 5'7 and phenomenal

[@robertritchie1622]

Sir my only critique is 29:00 minutes on this subject is not to long. Love to listen and look forward to next video thank you

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

@robertritchie1622: LOL! Sir, everyone does not have your tolerance for good content unfortunately. A shame, but true.

[@luisvelazquez5420]

Great Video, Great Information. Much Respect, thank you for posting this.

[@CrowdPleeza]

I was curious as to why boxers fight with the weaker arm forward. This sounds reasonable below. Did Bruce Lee take this into account? "Strong Hand Weakened by Multi-tasking Placing the strong hand in front weakens the strength of that arm. First off, your strong arm is in the front which means you don’t have the maximum leverage in power of throwing it from the rear. The next problem is that the strong hand now has to do many things. It has to throw jabs and also block punches. All this extra responsibility takes away from the power of your dominant hand. So now you don’t have a dedicated strong hand. You’re fighting with 2 weak hands." From: Why the Strong Arm Belongs In The Back Expert Boxing

[@gloasiatic]

I might be wrong but I would assume because a FIGHT is different from a boxing match. A fight isn't 12 rounds. It might last two minutes. My point....bring your best as soon as possible.

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

@CrowdPleeza: The idea is basic buddy in that it is assumed and according to physics, rightly so, that an object traveling at a distance can have an advantage in the speed and velocity it picks up moving forward. While that is true, it is also true that a sudden burst forward coupled by the extension of the arm, creates as much if not more power. No what I mean?

[@lusitanus6504]

Great Video! Much love from Portugal!

[@stevenwgoode]

Judo leads with the dominate hand as well.

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

@stevenwgoode: A good grappling system will lead with the power hand because the lead hand establishes the initial connection before better control is established by the rear hand.

[@adilbundhoo3079]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience

[@IH8Sprinkles]

Sometimes I lead with my left because of what Bruce lee said

[@OvercomingInertia919]

"Full contact to the body. Light contact to the head. No protective equipment." Another reason why your generation has greater longevity than ours. I also like that with Kyokushin there are no punches to the head...but the kicks to the head can surprise you in range. Their ability to head kick up close always impressed me

[@Judokajoe1970]

Wow so much to unpack here? I always appreciate your knowledge and sharing your martial arts lifestyle. But you know most of all the to he truest martal artest I've known live the life of paupers brother.

[@Wusong96]

Thank you for this video. I was just wondering who the man you were talking about at mark @25:58 Only if you want to share his name. My generation definitely needs to see your videos

[@steveadal4735]

Theres always something kinda good in the garbage can Sir🤔❤❤❤❤

[@MrStClair247]

Maestre, What's kind of drink is that ? A tea or a " bitters" brew ?

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

Arizona sweet tea

[@MrStClair247]

@@TheUmmahFightCamp , Ok !!!. I thought it might have been some healthy elixir. 😆

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

@@MrStClair247 Nah man. I drink much lemon water. That is a natural detox. As for healthy elixirs, I have known people who drink seaweed juice and can't train past 15 minutes without falling out. No lie! Eating and drinking healthy certainly has its place, but at some point, ya have to run or walk briskly.

[@Ninja9JKD]

Sorry, but frequent hard Sparring is not the way to go. Though I think it's necessary to experience, too frequently causes injuries and develops fear based reactions. Many of the top fighters no longer spar hard, they make it more like play so they can explore and work that which couldn't be worked during a super serious Sparring match. This approach goes for all full contact and grappling. I disagree with the idea that you should frequently spar hard.

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

@Ninja9JKD: YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO THE CONTEXT IN MY VIDEOS OR YOU WILL MISUNDERSTAND EVERY TIME I SAY SOMETHING! I did NOT say that sparring hard was the best way to train! I SAID THAT BRUCE LEE MADE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF HARD SPARRING and that was in response to those who say he was NOT a real martial artist. I cannot do other videos as long as people do NOT LISTEN TO THOSE THAT CAME BEFORE.
