  • I feel sorry for Taky Kimura, is that is the other guy here.

    He was Bruce Lee's punching bag.

  • @WingChunLover2

    Gene LeBell was Bruce Lee's punching bag.

  • hihÌ_àÑYônÉ_wåÑÑÁ_chàt_wïth_me­_î_fëél_sÕ_lÓnÈlY_tOdÄy¤

  • @pornpan96 hey u gay son of a Vicky Norris hahahahahhaha by the way in too busy to fukin ur daughter hahahahaha

  • nah that cant be bruce lee, bruce lee is short

  • @nagzul Short ? O_o 1m80 dude !

  • give me a break he never even finished learning the wing chun system he didnt know the third form so he added his own thing to it and called it his thing jeet kun do he was the first mixed martial artist as he added boxing and his form of kicking to wing chun he was good but only because in the part of the world he was in no one knew what and who he got his stuff from he could never beat ip man - his teacher never in a million years
  • @hardtalker1 - In the modern world...people respect all martial arts styles and understand that they all have something unique to offer. But for some reason wing chunners are still stuck in the old mentality of this style is better than that.Very old world thinking. No STYLE is complete. Wing Chun is not complete. Only if you look at all styles without discrimination will you see the whole picture.

  • The age of true martial artist has died. I'm sick of the term Mixed Martial Artist. They should be called juiced up arrogant bullies that can kick ass in a ring for money. Would they kick my ass,....YEP but I don't respect any of them. Long live Bruce!!

  • @KnTCG well at least you are honest ha ha. UFC has got a bit boring I agree. You should watch the old vale tudo from Brazil it is far more hard core!

  • bruce lee is by far the greatest

  • Royce Gracie

  • even in his first books,his stance footwork was changing...

    also Ip Man sifu liked to teach...what worked for the student...so...he may have actully encougred him to change it...

    as they say WC is alive and changing.

    what a great history =)

  • Adapting, thats what Bruce Lee was good at. I think his message is not to change things but to look for better ways of doing it. Not to be stuck in the groove of tradition. Tradition isn't a bad thing though. Seems to me what's taught in any martial arts dojo is body mechanics. With that knowledge your own fighting style is something that should be allowed to develop naturally through using your own creative mind.

  • yeah,I notice Sifu Lee lookin like a robot kinda in his old books...

    then fast forward to JKD and you tell he is express his heart in his movements and being.

    aahhh the great balance huh =)...tradition and expression.

  • @sunfist420 thats because he never completed the Wing chun system at first. Bruce was gettin whooped constantly by wong shueng lueng. Most arts seem kinda robotic at first and with some even later. Thats because there based of mechanics. A solid foundation must be laid as in anything.Theres alotta fake wing chun out there and JKD. Real w.c isnt stiff at all its the art of deception and truth....deceptoin set us up 4 the truth and THE TRUTH HURTS.BRUCE 4EVER!

  • It always comes back to this shit. Nobody would beat Bruce Lee, that's why he is who he is. The only man he was apprehensive about going toe to toe with was Ali. If a guy was too big for Bruce he'd do floor work. Punches to the face would become finger jabs to the eyes or the throat, His knowledge of pressure points, Chi Sao and it's applications in Wing Chun are the reasons he was so deadly. To be kicked by Bruce Lee was likened by many people to being hit by a car. Power = Technique + Speed

  • @Dave54600 Bruce is awsome...

    but I heard a story of him,returning to China and he was defeated by another wing chun student of Ip man...remeber him always wearing big glasses back in hong kong days...he had a blk eye from a chi sao lose.

    I also remeber that Bruce didn't know the whole style of Wing Chun.

  • He was from Hong Kong. Never heard that story. There's lots of stories about him, too hard to pin down the truth. The story of the origins of wing chun is quite interesting. As far as I am aware it splintered off into 2 diff versions of the art. Both factions think theirs is the real thing. I think Bruce realised that some of it was useless in actual combat. Everyone differs on what they find useful. Bruce Lee always used glasses, he was either short or long sighted, can't remember which.

  • interesting,Iv'e seen Opera style.and many others.

    in some ways his JKD was also WC but then to other it completely differeant system...

    My Sifu always warns of changing it too much...

    as a Wing Chunner I'd say he is using the backfist too much,but as a warrior....he's using evrything.

    Bruce is a true master and legend much like his own Sifu...

    I always wondered though,If Bruce jus stuck to WC what would it be??

    how he would be??...but to him the footwork etc..didnt fit.

  • @sunfist420 i know its a lil late for a reply to this but i think if bruce had stuck to wing chun i recon with the knowledge he had he would of made it into the perfect fighting system. i havnt learnt biu tze yet but ive heard other ppl say that what bruce said was missing from the system is in biu tze. even so i still think bruce would of improved it beyond what it is had he been able to continue his training in the art.

  • @619wingchun Right and alotta sifu`s and sigongs(grandmasters) dont even teach bil jee(same as-biu tze)any more. no disrespect, I put definitions 4ppl who may not know thanks.

  • @sunfist420 ^_^

  • @4evalan Cheers mate :-)

  • @Dave54600 i dont comment alot but thats so true

  • @Dave54600 um i think bruce lee is human and he can be beat and he did get beat by Yip Man when he went back to try to get more from and techniques and wooden dummy for wing chun,him and yip man did chis sau and yip man spanked him lol and he trie to offer him money for the stuff and He said no had to get it like everyone else through hard work. read up on it if you don't belive me

  • @gnicevids All I read about that was that Bruce wanted to film his sessions with Yip Man to show people in the US but Yip Man refused to be on camera. Also that they practiced blindfolded for hours at a time. Of course he is human, but where hell did he get the energy to train up to 8 hours a day? He's clearly running on a different power source. Even today when you find people who train so hard and long, they ain't no Bruce Lee. He's like a 5000w bulb, guess maybe thats why he died so soon.

  • @Dave54600 but what people forget or dont talk about is bruce lee was into nutrition and body suplements. Its interesting to see that they found marijuana in his stomach and some other things. and the medicine that the use to help give him relief for his back pains had a from of steroid (not steroids itself) of growth hormones to it (not to say he was trying to use anything). if you look at the shape of his head or face from his first movie to his last one you will see a difference head shape

  • @gnicevids The story I heard about the cannabis was that he was using it to relax, it had the seeming effect of slowing down time, he wasn't a stoner, this was something he discovered toward the end of his life when he felt a lot of pressure with regards to time constraints. Got to the point he had no time to train. I also read that the autopsy showed his brain had swollen in size for no apparent reason. Medical science back then couldn't find its ass with both hands.

  • @gnicevids you make no fuckin sense

  • @Dave54600 what do u mean he do floor work? like what u mean? sorry i didnt quite understand that please reply thanks it means alot to me.

  • @5674trackrunner Remember the scene in Game of Death when fighting Kareem Abdul Jabbar where Bruce jumps into a prone position on the floor and uses his legs to lock up Kareems legs, tripping him over? That's floor work. Techniques delivered while lying on the floor. Moves like that tend to be unexpected in a fight. Most unwelcome if you are a tall guy and your opponent does this type of thing. Some martial arts have more emphasis on this than others.

  • @Dave54600 thank u! i am a martial artist too.

  • 5 stars

  • My idol!!! Bruce lee....the person who change the martial arts world....!!!

  • can u imagine BruceLee in the cage with Fedor Emilianenko or Tito Ortiz ??? one inch punch ?chi sao ? wake up suckers...

  • they are just toys for Bruce

  • yes u r right...maybe rambo or spider man could beat him ?

  • just youtube haters may do :p

  • Well did you think about categories?? Fedor is some 130kg while Bruce is perhaps 50 or so... he would fight as a light weight where he would have a chance to compete at high levels imo

  • Royce Gracie fought andwon UFC 1 UFC 2 and defeted Kimo and others in UFC 3...no weight limit at the time in the UFC tournament !His brother Rickson also fught people 40 kilos heavier than him and beat them...but..they are very skilled in ground fighting and has a wide experience plus many many fight on !

  • Bruce will have a chance but not much experience because in the 70th the style of fight in USA was very low quality , ceck in google "muay thai the belt is in the ring" and find out what's happened in 1977 in Bangkok Thailand to the most famous international fighter ! the top kung fu master from China defeted in 6 minute cumulative time !

  • then...have u seen anyone fight in the Pride , UFC , WVC and Art of War MMA tournament with traditional martial art ? most come from combat sport as muay thai combine with Sambo or Kick boxing combine with BJJ ect ect !

  • Bruce Lee was an actor who did martial arts

  • incorrect, he was a martial artist who started acting.

  • actually, you're wrong. He was acting since he was a child and training in martial arts as he got older.

  • he studied Wing Chun as a child 0.o

  • Ya an pasado algunos años de esta grabación , pero en ningun video se a llegado a mostrar técnicas con detalles,saludos

  • I coud KO this BL.... yeah, right ! NOONE COUD FUCK UP MASTER BRUCE LEE! HE WAS WALKING MARTIAL ART GOD!

  • whos noone?

  • I totally agree with andrei128.

  • Looks like he's blindfolded doing Chi Sao.

  • he is blindfolded

    watch the original better quality video and you can see

  • so much for that bruce lee cant fight stuff and that stuff doesnt really work huh cause thats all i use and it worked just fine on that guy when he said it wouldnt go figure and bruce lee was way better than me im just a "beginner" no pun intended

  • sorry- gutsberserk99jkd?i take back,

    wot i said

  • It has been said that BL is NOT the BEST martial artist of all time, he is the GREATEST martial artist of all time. Love ya Bruce!

  • Ive often wondered though, do you reckon there has been someone in ancient china or japan or anywhere for that matter, as it has been said that some arts originate from India etc. some one that who's skills, speed and technique would've been better than Bruces?

  • I'd venture to say that there were, and there will be. For a long long time, being a martial artist was a full time career. Martial artists practiced like 5 to 8 hours a day for like 10 years. Today, with modern equipments and with more information readily available, it bounds to happen that a better martial artist will come along.

    However, BL will always be remembered as the pioneer, the original master who modernized martial arts, and thus will remain the greatest ;-)

  • Bruce Lee is only the most famous martial artist as far as I know. He is by no standard the best in anything.

    If you're interested, look up Barry Lee a.k.a. The Machine. This man was the teacher of my teacher. He is named the machine because he would train for 15 hours in a single day.

  • Training is a VERY important aspect of being good . But Bruce Lee took that to the next level , he used his brain a lot , and that's what makes him special .

  • In my youth I trained in Wing Chun and, later, Kickboxing. Training 15 hours a day is physically unhealthy because the body needs rest to heal and recharge.

  • u need to find out how many hours bruce lee trained. And look his diary

  • No, I don't actually. GTFO.

  • I seriously doubt an american navy seal could've took bruce lee in a fight. He was way too fast. It would've been like a little kid fighting an adult. You also realize he is blind folded when he is performing sticky hands. I would put my money on Bruce Lee over a navy seal.

  • it's not like being blindfolded matters anyhow. the whole point of chi sao is to make it all automatic without having to see/think about it. to be like water, making through the cracks - as he said ;)

  • That is why it matters. It is because he is not using his sight to make a decision. He feels and reacts. That is why I said that you realize he is blind folded. The only thing about being blind folded is you tend to be a little more aggressive than you would if you could see. At least that is what I have noticed.

  • before Lee started his tv career in US the army wanted to recruit him as an instructor. lee would demolish any navy seals any day.

  • @popster2233 The story I heard of Bruce and the army was that they wanted to draft him to Vietnam, he was considered a US citizen afterall. However, Bruce Lee, fittest man on the planet failed the medical test on account of an undescended testicle. I thought it was hilarious. Sumo wrestlers are said to be able to withdraw their nuts into their abdomen, maybe Bruce did the same to avoid getting drafted.

  • @Dave54600 nah he laways had it. He spoke about it to some of his students way before he was drafted. Check out paul baxs forum

  • jesus man i practice jkd everyday 2 go to 6 lessons a week i and love every minuit of it i also do june fan do which is the moreless the same less techincal side tho. And beginners gambling just shut up dude your embarassin your self!

  • bruce lee was one of the best fighters of the world.

    beginnersgambling can suck my dick!!!

  • im leaveing for taiwan airport now see you guys when i land

  • beginnersgambling cant make fun of bruce lee to much cause bruce ate dog meat and beginnersgambling licks it

  • beginnersgambling got caught raping the neighbors dog and fled to taipei he's the roman polanski of the dog community the sick fuck must be brought to justice so after i fly over there and beat his face through the back of his skull im bringing him back

  • check out beginnersgamblings videos if you wanna see the gayest man alive

  • beginnersgambling (5 days ago) admitted that when his dogs lipstick came out he licked it and got his tounge stuck

  • bruce lee (li)was a cha cha dancing faggot ,,,

  • and you a porn watching penis stroking virgin that will never get his dick wet

  • And since he can kick your ass, I wonder what that makes you.

  • rediculous......u both disgrace the art.with these attitudes u will never become great fighters.

  • im already a great fighter to late for you

  • it lookslike ur all talk and nothing more...gutsberserk99jkd.

  • what do you mean i did everything i said i was

  • i mean your dog sorry i forgot

  • you can fly over here and get your teeth knocked out im not gonna waste my time or money you never even been in a street fight alls you have done is some shitty ass submission wrestling and useless kung fu which you have no evidence of to back up no video or nothing your worse than bruce lee i practice jkd everyday so come test me and get knocked the fuck out in front of your wife

  • you made a threat and could not fulfill. You have no credibility. Another internet warrior. Threat and doesn't fulfill. You also have no evidence to back anything up except for doing JKD everyday. lame. wow!!

    but the bottom line is don't threaten unless you really intend to do something. You threatened and did nothing end of story.

  • what thats it im using all the frequent flyer miles i saved to go to taipei how do i find you when i get there

  • i just touched down where are you at you peice of shit

  • How is the weather in Taiwan, Guts?

  • it sucked and that fagot was hiding from me so after three days of hunting him down i finally caught him in a starbucks and beat him down in front of two of his middle age preppy friends asked if they wanted some to they said no and then i jammed before being apprehended did a little sight seeing and then i came home

  • who said bruce lee could beat anybody i simply stated that he's blindfolded in the video and that thats not bad for someone who supposedly isnt a fighter (like i know you not) so wheres your videos

  • guts I am still waiting for you to beat me up. As for my videos well it wouldn't make any difference to the argument if I was a fighter or not. I do have a picture of me coming third place in a national submission wrestling contest. I also did some bare knuckle kung fu fighting and boxing. However it is irrelevant to the question of Bruce Lee. Now you say you are going to beat the fuck out of me, maybe you can maybe not, i don't care. But get on with it as it has become boring.

  • Does anyone comment on the video?

  • lol

  • Bruce Lee is quoted as saying Mike Stone was better than he was, and that if he, Lee, ever went up against Muhammad Ali, that Ali would "kill" him.

  • ill beat the shit out of you shut the fuck up

  • roflmao

  • i'm waiting so, if you haven't done it within two weeks and I am still posting here it means it was just an empty threat that you couldn't back up. You threatened me not the other way round, so I am waiting. I'll give you two weeks. If not I will post back here and ask why you haven't done it yet.

    but like I said you are under 16 so probably don't even have a passport. Also the racist comments are very unpleasant for everyone. no need for racism considering Bruce Lee married a white lady.

  • why you such a little bitch i got messages from youtube saying that your being harrassed by me and your fearing for your life what a pussy you are dont try and hide behind them

  • lol you got 1 week and 6 days left. If I am still posting then your threat was a threat and you are full of hot air. You said you were going to beat the fuck out of me. Your words not mine. I'm waiting lol. Please try and carry out your threat. I am looking roward to it. If "you tube" had been informed, you would of lost your account silly little boy. Now please stop barking and get on with the threat. Talk is cheap DO IT OR SHUT IT!

  • guts tell me you are not really 27. Damn i thought you were 16. 27 and you still believe Bruce Lee can beat anyone in a fight. For a 16 year old kid I can understand that but for a 27 year old. wow retarded development. Tell me do you still believe in father christmas and fairies (like you) as well. lol. Please get on with the threat. ok.

  • im not downing u or anything but send me the link nd show me the time were he said that cuz in his other interviews he said that he is not cocky, but that no one could beat him

  • did any of you even realize that bruce lee is blindfolded in this video not bad for some who supposedly is not a fighter

  • guts that is not a fight you stupid dumbass. geez the ignorance

  • youve never even been in a fight before what are you talking about you just play with dogs wow your a big pussy lets see your put a video of one of your fights up take off those stupid dog videos and lets see you do it blindfolded like bruce you little bitch you cant cause you dont have the skill your just a little fag

  • gutsbersek

    It says you are under 16 on your profile so I cannot respond to you again. Sorry didn't realise you were a kid. Shouldn't of hurt your feeling so much, that was unfair of me.

  • your trippin man im 27 your the little bitch thats getting all scared cause your gonna get your nerdy white ass beat

  • the sole person who brought martial arts to mainstream America ? Are you really that much of a dumbfuck or just pretending lol

  • a lot of stupid people on here discrediting the sole person that brought martial arts main stream to america. He was an exceptional martial artist and anybody that knew him would say the same. As far as him being the best fighter at this point it's questionable but for his time by far.

  • Bruce Lee is quoted as saying Mike Stone was better than he was, and that if he, Lee, ever went up against Muhammad Ali, that Ali would "kill" him.

  • well aren't you the historian...ever think that he was also being humble when he said that instead of being arrogant and cocky.

  • No. He wasn't being humble, he was being honest.  And funny you mentioned cocky. Most people who met him would describe him as being cocky and arrogant.

  • Joe Lewis could have kicked Bruce Lee's ass!

  • Scharrer Shokai

    Great info. I have more respect for Bruce Lee that he was admitting the truth. Pound for pound he would probably of been up there with the top guys in MMA. Not as good as BJ Penn probably but decent anyway

  • MCd

    yep you sum it up no fact. Now enjoy your fantasy. Me be an idiot or not has nothing to do with Bruce Lee's fighting ability. There are no facts to back up Bruce's Lee's cock suckers claim that he was a good fighter. He wasn't that is a fact. He was a very small scared boy that used to act and do pretend fighting to hide his own insecurities. Kind of like his disciples who are even less confident

  • Shut up, You know nothing about what you are trying to talk about, you are what we would call a total plonker,and what you are saying about his so called fighting ability open your eyes man, name one actor that can do what he did without

    wires or computer crap.Get real man except the fact that he was good.

  • you are correct he was an ACTOR and a STUNT MAN. Plonker is an out dated word from the 70's and 80's sort of like Bruce Lee in a way

  • Bruce Lee was not a real fighter he was an actor.

    However if you all wish to have a guru to give your lives meaning then so be it lol

    I live by facts by you live by blind faith. Case closes as there are no facts to discuss.

  • lmao your an idiot.

    no facts to discuss that.

  • no facts to discuss then don't discuss it. Just like Bruce lee, a lot of acting. He was an average actor but a good stunt man. He was not a good fighter. Case closed.

  • your right he isnt a good fighter.......

    HE IS A EXCELLENT ONE. case closed remember?

  • yawn

    Evidence ? Or no case ? Evidence ? One recorded fight ? One bout with proof. Anything apart from an apparent fight with another stunt man. People on Jerry Springer fight more than he does and at least it is recorded. Those red necks on the springer show have more recorded fights than Bruce Lee does lol lol lol

  • What was he supposed to do? Film a fight on the street like kimbo. or step into a ring WITH RULES and show he can fight?

    Your ignorant. You dont even know what a REAL fight is.

  • yes step into a ring with rules and show he can fight. That would be a good start. So where did he do that ? He did boxing that is true and he was quite good at it. That is correct. He was also a good philosopher of the martial arts. However to says he was one of the best fighters in the world is wrong, and incorrect. To compare him to Bj Penn or someone of that nature as a fighter is deluded.

  • WOW! The Chi Sao is one of the most important energy drills in JKD!

  • WTF? Blind folded and still beat him. FUCKING AWESOME.

  • dam how the hell does he do those one hand puchups so easily? and he doesnt even spread his legs that far wen hes doin it

  • beginnersgambleing you dont know much about wing chun...

    their doing chi sao (sticky hands) and chi gerk (sticky legs). thats what the sweep was it wasnt uncalled for.

  • wow! 2 fingers push up!

  • Yeah, he's blind foldet, you fucking idiots!

  • You fucking idiots! If you look closely, Bruce Lee is blind folded. His skill level is unparalleled.

  • yeah unparalled as it was so much bullshit lol

  • dude youre pathetic. you probably have a tiny penis the size of a AA battery. before you start saying youre not impressed about other things admit your tiny penis size

  • a tiny penis has nothing to do with any of this..dont hate on someones opinion..even though he should have not said something so rash

  • this is the long beach international karate tournament, karate practicioners generally know bugger all about chi sao, also in bruce lee's jkd there's a concept of using what you know to fit in with the situation. wing chun being what he knows, a karate tournament being the situation.

  • becuase if he kciked he woudlve been knocked off balance. its not that he didnt want to kick, its that he COULDNT kick. retard

  • how do you know that retard ? Sounds like you couldn't fight your way out a wet paper bag. Bruce Lee was a poser and a fake. Get out your fantasy world's. And for f sake all of you GROW UP it is like believing in fairies or a weird cult. Fools

  • lol hes way to quick to stick to.

  • Never forgett: be water.

    its not about to learn a style, its about to create your own and to cooporate with every single movement of the opponent.

  • Whoooooh, I saw Bruce Lee fall, how would he do on the ground? I f that small man threw him, just think what would happen to day.

  • That wasn't Bruce that fell,that was the other guy that fell,no one threw him,first off Bruce had a blind fold on and further more Bruce would hit the eye or groin,but Bruce had takedowns as well as grappling moves on the ground so he would do just fine,grappling on the ground is nothing new,it's been done for thousands of years

  • Comment removed

  • he is the best!!!!!!!

  • bruce lee hechi-zao! (shiaaa).

  • Norris used to be Bruce's student,they used to spar,they went at it before,since Bruce was doing the teaching I'll leave it up to you to judge for yourself as to who was winning in those sparring sessions

  • From what I know and not to disrespect Bruce is that he wasn't fully trained in wing chun so he had to come up with his own martial art made up of many other martial arts systems and westernboxing,so he was not a master but just a intermediate student that was extremely physically fit so he could get away with the pretention of being a great fighter in America where nobody knew shit at that time about real Kung Fu.I do believe he wouldn't last long against a pak hok fighter.

  • Bruce knew the techniques,and the centerline principle,he knew all that worked,he didn't know all the forms,but forms aren't relevant to combat.And Bruce knew the 5 animals of Kung-Fu,tai-chi,preying mantis and other styles as well,he knew more than WIng CHun before coming to America,so he was a master of Kung-Fu.

  • And combining other martial art systems is a wise idea,it is better than just knowing 1.He wasn't an intermediate student.Bruce defeated a grandmaster in the Northern style named Wong Jak Mon,so Bruce was a great fighter,sorry to burst your bubble.Bruce combined 26 styles,so he would easily destroy a Pak Hok fighter.Bruce also defeated a blackbelt at Ed PArker's 1967 tournament,so Bruce wasn't pretending to be great,he was great.

  • While I understand where you're coming from and I completely agree that Bruce Lee was an amazing martial artist, I do have to point out that it was not his knowledge of many different styles that made him so. They say a jack of all trades is the master of none. Just because you know several different ways to fight does not make you a great fighter. You need focus, experience and lots of training. That is what Bruce Lee had the most of at the time. That's what made him great.

  • Actually it was his knowledge of many different styles.That's a nice saying you mentioned about the jack of all trades,but that doesn't apply to martial arts.The thing was to take what was useful from each style,not to master each style,big difference.By taking different techniques from various styles and combining them does help to make you a great fighter,because you will be skilled in hands,kicks,knees,elbows,and grappling.Taking kicks from taekwondo,hands from wing chun and boxing is genius

  • While what you say is true about taking what is useful from each style, it takes thorough training and insight to understand what is useful in a style, not just a cursory understanding. Just because you know a TaeKwonDo kick doesn't mean you can kick like a TKD practitioner. That's why it does apply to martial arts. The techniques in martial arts aren't just components of a greater machine that is the style, but a sum of all the principles that form the art.

  • You're missing it.Look at Bruce's kicks,you can tell that he was heavily influenced by taekwondo,all you have to do is stretch your legs and practice the kicks,that isn't hard,kicking like a TKD practitioner is very easy,I trained in TKD and now in JKD and Muay-Thai,we do the same stretches,the TKD sidekick and other kicks as well,it is easy to be a great kicker.ANd of course there kicks from savate,muay-thai.

  • Of course taking from each style isn't enough,you have to train and that's what Bruce did and that's what jeet kune do practitioners do,Techniques from each art,training,sparring,that's what JKD is as well strategies and philosophy,all of these combined can make a great fighter.

  • No one said Bruce just took from 26 styles and called it a day,of course he trained hard,sparred,and sharpened his tools for combat,that should go without saying.I thought that was known the combining of styles,training,sparring,that'­s jeet kune do

  • Crescent kicks,reverse side kick,front kick,side kick,jumping kicks,hook kicks,and others aren't hard to master, they are easy if you practice,of course you have to stretch for the flexibility,you don't have to know taekwondo to execute great taekwondo kicks,Bruce was Jeet Kune Do,and had powerful and fast kicks in his arsenal,A kick is simply a kick

  • Well, yeah, that much is obvious. Bruce Lee trained vigourously every day in his life to get where he was, but I was making a generalization, not just talking about Bruce. He was a special case. I was more referring to people who think they can follow in Bruce Lee's footsteps and half-ass it but somehow get good anyway, like a lot of MMA guys.

  • You right,you can't half-ass it,you must train and spar and try to make your techniques work for you

  • And not to nitpick, but a kick isn't simply a kick. You of all people should know that. For a good TKD style kick you need a good, solid stance and (unless you train differently) it needs to originate at the knee after the leg has been chambered. That's why they're so fast and powerful.

  • A kick is simply a kick,I've trained in both and still train in JKD,so how can you tell me,lol.The same stretches that they do in Taekwondo we do in Jeet Kune Do,again you're not paying attention,absorb what is useful from each art,we have their stretching methods,we practice their kicks the same way they do.We also use training methods from savate as well.Power has to do with the hips as well,but mainly the strength of your legs,that's where squats or the horse stance comes in...
