it is not jeet kune do firstly,it is preying mantis form,if it wasnt so artificial and speeded up(just like every jet li/jackie chan movie)it would be easier to see hand placement
everyone saying that didn't look like jkd has no clue what jkd is lol JKD is a concept, a tao, a method of learning basically jkd technically isn't a formal style. They teach the basics and move on from there incorporating anything useful to the individual. One style is no better than any other. It's how the individual realizes the strengths and limitations of their own bodies that makes them efficient in real life situations instead of the dojo.
I have practised Jeet Kune Do now for 10 years, i have read all bruce lees books and absorbed all what i can from the dragon brotha Bruce Lee. I train like a shaolin munk and im in hella good shape. People say i am like a copy of Bruce Lee himself when they see me fight. Of course theres much to learn and i got my own twist in this JKD "be water" .
@uniikkiz Wow, you are awsome. Way to be!... LOL. Do you want a cookie or something Mr.Bruce Lee the second. Its great that your in "hella good, shaolin munk shape"... I just hope we can all be as cool as you someday, on youtube.
This movie is "Fist of Legend", one of the best Chinese Kung Fu movies, good plots and many good fights !! This is a remake of the 1972 film Fist of Fury staring Bruce Lee.
as JiraichiAsh says does any one know the name of this film?, ive seen all 4 ip man films , ong bak films all jet li and bruce lee films all chuck norris van damme and michael dudikoff films allsteven seagal, jackie chan and cynthia rothrock films infact most of the martial arts films but cannot remember watching this one what ever it is called?!....
Instead of arguing and talking, can you guys just tell me what this damn movie is? I mean hella people wants to watch this but y'all keep on ignoring them.
As i seen all Jet li movies, i can say with 99% accuracy. This is "Fist of legend" and the style he uses is not Jeet kun do, the poster of the vid is way of. He uses as the movie evolves around it. A "western boxing " style, in this scene his brother. Challenges him for the leadership of the school (Jet refuses after the win).
One of the few movies, were he really changes to a "western style" of fighting during the end battle against the general. Good movie :)
Jet li is very good!whats thename of the movie?(Ps: ,im from azores-Island and i also know he was make a lot of movies in his childwod ,his story run all over the world, :) like every kids ,i also wanted to be Bruce Lee ,because of him i start learning martial arts he was a reference for my gereration!
He also gave the opponent chances to yield to avoid further violence. Its was only after his opponent refused to yield that it was taken all the way to serious physical injury. Very Bruce Lee like.
@TacticalAngel86 JKD is kung fu. Kung fu is hard work in it's literal meaning, and is now commonly used to refer to chinese martial arts. Bruce's martial arts is JKD, and he is Chinese. He does refer to his art as a from of Kung Fu, or as Bruce Lee said it Gung Fu (with Cantonese pronunciation).

It's not my fault if you are possibly a foreigner that does not understand the literal meaning of kung fu, thinking it is something that can be confined or categorized. I just speak the truth and the real meaning of kung fu, don't rave on me for what it is. I didn't make up these terms.
@conquestvideos I have a feeling you like 90 percent of martial arts enthusiasts think that kung fu is a form, a style or just something to do with a certain way of fighting. It isn't.

As soon as you say that Jeet Kune Do is Gung Fu, no matter what you mean by it, you are eliminating what JKD stands for. You must remember: Jeet Kune Do is simply a name.

@conquestvideos that's correct. Kung fu is any practice & effort towards any hard work. It's has just been used mainly for martial arts, Chinese martial arts exactly. So when I was responding to the one guy's post, I was sayin that he isn't necessarily incorrect, in sayin that Bruce was also a Kung Fu practitioner, since the real chinese foundation of the word is not based on styles or name. It would be wrong to say that Bruce Lee didn't do kung fu, more so than to say he did.
@conquestvideos JKD has a Wing Chun base. Bruce Lee made a hybrid system meaning using da wing chun system & converting in2 his style or like u said "expression of himself". Keep in mind that Bruce Lee waz trained by Yip man & later changed up da style in2 a hybrid system of Wing chun & western Chinese boxing.
@wonphi WHEN DID HE SAY THAT?? I read his books and seen most, if not all, of his interviews? The closest he's ever said was that it was "Based" in Gung Fu, And that was in the beginning before he had developed it fully.
There are huge differences between mainstream modern Martial art movies and Classic Jet Li movies. The stuff you see in Jet Li's movies, those moves are actually useful in real fights. They may not look fancy or cool, but they're effective.
Fist of Legend! My favorite Jet Li movie! ... but that wasn't Jeet Kune Do. Rent the movie, and you'll learn what the art is. The final fight was with the Japanese Hero.. truely an epic fight, reminding us of so many super cool traditional tactics that REALLY can change the outcome, and/or redirect favor in a fight
There were and are so many martial artist that you have never seen that are better than Bruce Lee its a shame. He was good but, not that good. I train under a Shifu who was the Shaolin Abbot's body guard and I know Bruce Lee could not defeat him.
1) Bruce Lee is, even nowadays, considered the strongest martial artist, strontgest AND fastest.
2) Bruce Lee was a martial artist BEFORE becoming an actor, in fact Bruce Lee wanted to use the cinema to spread the martial arts all over the world, and he succeded in that, as we can see in today's movies.
3) Bruce Lee achieved a bunch of physical records that nowadays are still not surpassed. Bruce Lee was a fucking machine, let's not forget that peeps.
@jiujitsumigs No your reply was ONE of the dumbest things I ever heard... Bruce Lee was a child actor in a couple of films when he was young, didn't you know that? So it's actually: Actor-Martial Artist-Actor again.
@Xinyuan12345 okay weather that's true or not is irrelevant the fact is Bruce Lee was in fact a martial artist, NOT an actor, what you're doing is grasping at straws and splitting hairs over the little details. and if you count the years being a straight-up martial artist v.s. an actor i'm 100% certain you'd find he spent more of his life being kickass! long live the best
@bobylify DUDE! I wasn't trying to downrate him or anything... in fact, Bruce is one of my fricken idols! I'm not grasping at straws dude, you're misinterpreting my thoughts. I was just stating that Bruce Lee was an actor before he was a martial artist, that's all. That just proves that I'm a bigger fan :).
@longshot67 SEARCH IT UP!!! Bruce lee was a child actor! He felt like learning a martial arts when he was in his mid teens. Then, he became an actor again. Get it? Read this:
@Xinyuan12345 First of all he never was a child actor, he was in gang and he was a machine in the fights, but one day he lost a match and he didn't like that so he started training with Ip Man. Learn your facts.
@Seaner86 Learn your facts dude... Bruce lee really was a child actor... all you have to do is search up a biography of Bruce Lee. His father was a Cantonese Opera performer... Why would I not know these facts? I AM Chinese dude!
@Xinyuan12345 Being Chinese doens't mean you know shit about Bruce Lee, yeah he did like twenty films, but he became really dedicated to martial arts in America and that's why we have Jeet Kune Do. Which got him into the movies he was in.
@Seaner86 I was just SAYING that he was a child actor. Bruce Lee was a martial arts master before he REALLY got into acting. Bruce lee- child actor (not many appearances) --Martial arts master---then back to acting for real.
@Xinyuan12345 Yes true, I didn't know that and sorry for trying to call you a lier. I just didn't know, but it's sad that the stress from acting was what ultimately killed him(the brain swelling).
@Xinyuan12345 wrong. bruce lee was in 11 movies before he even learned wing chun. before learning wing chun his father taught him basic tai chi for the purposes of calming his him down and exersize he was 14 when he started wing chun and after he began making action movies he made about 5 martial arts movies and a number of roles in tv shows like longstreet and batman all in all he was an actor before he ever learned how to fight
@Seaner86 no you need to learn your facts bruce lee began training in wing chun at the age of 14 the reason he began training was because his parents thought that learning martial arts would temper his attitude and calm him down it had nothing to do with him losing a fight
@houseofaction What dude? Have you even watch his biography it even says he knew marital arts a lttle from what his dad knew, but he was always fighting and at age 14 he learned Wing Chun to learn more and because he didn't want to lose a fight. Don't fucking say shit just cause other people are arguing you dumb cunt.
@Seaner86 first off all i have watched every documentary on him and i own countless books writen by bruce lee and about bruce lee and the only martial arts bruce learned before wing chun was tai chi and it was for the purposes of health not combat. you actually know nothing he first began training in wing chun because his parents thought it would helpt dicipline him and stop him from fighting. that is a fact
@houseofaction Well obviously you haven't or you wouldn't be looking fuckin ignorant right now, cause their is one that has his friends and family talking about him and it even says that where he lived started turning into a bad neighborhood and his dad starting teaching him the martial art he knew...so...SUCK THE FUCK UP!
@Seaner86 you are a dumbfuck not one documentary said his dad taught him martial arts for self defense the only system of martial arts his father practiced was tai chi which he practiced for the purposes of spiritual enlightenment not combat bruce lee began his training in wing chun at 14 for self defense purposes but this was years after he began training in the basics of tai chi
@houseofaction And you said earlier ity was to temper him and calm him down adn now you are saying to stop him from fighting, choose one or the other not change to another reason dumbass.
@Seaner86 bruce had a bad temper and the only way to stop him to fight was to calm him down that is exactly what his parents thought wing chun would do to bruce. which ultimatly didnt work since he continued to get into street fights and they ended up sending him to san fransico so he wouldnt get in trouble with the honk kong police anymore.
@houseofaction And it wasn't to calm him down cause he name in Chinese even stood for Hyper one or some shit like that and he wanted to be the best. Go watch his biography and get back at me before you start sayin shit.
No of course a heavyweight is stronger than Bruce Lee, and of course a guy like Bas Rutten has more powerful kicks. Facts: heavyweights are more powerful than lightweights, and if Bruce Lee would have to fight in UFC he wouldn't be very successfull because he is not used to pro fighting.
@Flyingtart i would have to disagree 100% if you look at how a UFC fighter troughs his punches and kicks, they're sloppy as all hell. and they are not accurate enough to pin down a titian like Bruce lee... or even jet lei. they would swing a few times and miss, Bruce would get all up in there business and tie up there arms and kick there ass... i would say that about almost all martial arts... because really, UFC is a joke... there not by any means the "ultimate fighters" not.even.close.
@bobylify You got a point, but you can't just look at the artists techniques alone, the techniques correspond to your opposition as well. There are many situations where seemingly dumb or slow moves are actually the best ones, due to the given circumstance. Bruce Lee even said this himself. "...fast or slow. But depending on the circumstance, that might not be slow."
I had the same mindset as you when I was 14 years old and just started Kyokushin karate. Actually when UFC was fairly new the fighters were sloppy toughguys who came there because they kicked ass in their lokal bar.
Nowadays in UFC we see Muay Thai champions, all american wrestling champions, Kyokushin karate black belts, sanda/sanshou fighters (these ones have kung fu background, like Cung Le for example).
The more you learn about boxing, BJJ, wrestling, fighting in general you realize how good most of the UFC fighters are. Bruce Lee could throw nice sideway push kicks yes, but that doesn't determine how good of a fighter he is. I can throw that kick fairly well too, but I don't when I spar in MMA because of the risk to be taken to the ground (and I have kung fu+kyokushin background so I suck on the ground).
There are many Lee fans who really don't keep it real.
@pippiculo Not the strongest. But the fastest yes, because speed and impact (technique) = everything. Also, most of Bruce Lees feats can be achieved if you apply the right techniques and they have been. He was mere groundbreaking in a world of status quo tight asses. Bruce Lee was exceptional, but he was also blown completely out of proportions in the media, especially after his death.
@pippiculo In reply to your # 2... Are you sayin Jet wasn't a Wushu Champion BEFORE acting? Well if you didnt know that then let me burst your bubble- his first win was when he was 11, and he took 4 more chanpionships on top of that! Bruce was awesome and all, but Jet is a very well rounded fighter who can take all challengers. Its a shame they couldnt fight it out for real. Then the debate would be over. My money's on Jet.
@CantHaveEnough its true jet li was a champion from a very young age but not in fighting tournements but wushu forms. which has nothing to do with actual fighting jet li has actually never faught a day in his life and has admited to not knowing how to fight and has said he would not be able to use his martial arts in actual combat because he has never even sparred in his life what you see on his movies is just that movie magic
@pippiculo bruce lee actually was not the strongest nor the fastest he himself admited this on many occasions.
bruce lee started the martial arts of wing chun at 14 years old and then moved back to the united states where he was born at 19 having only 5 years formal training.
bruce lee infact was an actor before he was a martial artist having been in his first movie in 1941 when he was about a year old infact he was in a good 11 movies before he began wing chun
@pippiculo Bruce Lee was acting LONG before he learned martial arts. He made many movies as a small child. I just watched a documentary on him. I think he was around 19 when he offered to teach a Kung Fu master to dance if he would teach Bruce Kung Fu. The teacher said he never did get those dance lessons.
@billysunerson Bruce Lee started learning Wing Chun from Ip Man when he was 13.. And does it matter? He is one of the, if not the greatest martial artists of all time.
Li is a master of several styles of wushu, especially Changquan (Northern Longfist Style) and Fanziquan (Tumbling fist). He has also studied other arts including Baguazhang (Eight trigram palm), Taijiquan (Supreme ultimate fist), Xingyiquan (Shape intent fist), Zuiquan (Drunken fist), Yingzhaoquan (Eagle claw fist) and Tanglangquan (Praying mantis fist). He did not learn Nanquan (Southern fist), because his training focused only in the Northern Shaolin Styles.
@Dobbersky We have all watched the Jet Li biographies and know what he has trained in but the same could be said for Bruce he trained in multiple arts but his were for real combat situations unlike Jets which were mainly to keep you fit and be good to look at.
This is all i'm going to say on the matter now as i have better things to do than troll the net looking for disagreements
@kinpntbll884 Jet Li wouldn't stand a chance against Bruce Lee, it would be entertaining but Jet would lose easily because Jet only trained in Wushu which looks good for movies and doing demonstrations whereas Bruce was a real street fighter and studied several different martial arts incl Wing Chun and Then went on to create JKD.
@MrGanjaman68 but you seem to forget BRUCE LEE WAS AN ACTOR TOOOOOO!!!!. JKD is NOT the best in the world. I WISH PEOPLE WOULD STOP PRESUMING THAT BRUCE LEE WAS LIKE AS GOOD AS HIS CHARACTERS IN THE MOVIES. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
I WOULD SAY THAT TONY JAA WOULD WHOOP BRUCE LEE'S ASSS
@Dobbersky You also seem to forget that Bruce Lee was a gifted martial artist and streetfighter long before he became an actor, Tony Jaa is also a gifted martial artist but in a one on one fight Bruce would win as Tony has never been in any real fighting situations except competitions where there are rules and limited contact. Therefore i think you are the one who believes that Tony was as good as his characters in the movies. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!
@Dobbersky Also JKD is a philosophy not a martial art, in martial arts you try to defend yourself but with the JKD concept you attack the attacker with an attack of your own. End of story!!!
Jeet Kune Do is more of a philosophy than a strict martial art. The whole concept of the style is to learn and adapt and never be held down by something as petty as 'style'. So arguing about whether or not this is JKD is rather pointless.
@Bttscks but so is every other martial art there is being practiced! Kyokushin being one of the hardest! I think JKD as a principle is good but I hate those who think that they are Bruce Lee wish-they-were's all because they practice it. there is no best style out there (I even believe BL said this on a TV interview) only best fighters
@Bttscks Darwin once said it is not the strongest, fastest or most intelligent that always survives. It is the one which is most adaptable to change. Well he's right.
They're so fast!

So when I was responding to the one guy's post, I was sayin that he isn't necessarily incorrect, in sayin that Bruce was also a Kung Fu practitioner, since the real chinese foundation of the word is not based on styles or name. It would be wrong to say that Bruce Lee didn't do kung fu, more so than to say he did.

@conquestvideos JKD has a Wing Chun base. Bruce Lee made a hybrid system meaning using da wing chun system & converting in2 his style or like u said "expression of himself". Keep in mind that Bruce Lee waz trained by Yip man & later changed up da style in2 a hybrid system of Wing chun & western Chinese boxing.

@wonphi WHEN DID HE SAY THAT?? I read his books and seen most, if not all, of his interviews? The closest he's ever said was that it was "Based" in Gung Fu, And that was in the beginning before he had developed it fully.

There are huge differences between mainstream modern Martial art movies and Classic Jet Li movies. The stuff you see in Jet Li's movies, those moves are actually useful in real fights. They may not look fancy or cool, but they're effective.

People here are also forgettng something.
1) Bruce Lee is, even nowadays, considered the strongest martial artist, strontgest AND fastest.
2) Bruce Lee was a martial artist BEFORE becoming an actor, in fact Bruce Lee wanted to use the cinema to spread the martial arts all over the world, and he succeded in that, as we can see in today's movies.
3) Bruce Lee achieved a bunch of physical records that nowadays are still not surpassed. Bruce Lee was a fucking machine, let's not forget that peeps.

@Xinyuan12345 okay weather that's true or not is irrelevant the fact is Bruce Lee was in fact a martial artist, NOT an actor, what you're doing is grasping at straws and splitting hairs over the little details. and if you count the years being a straight-up martial artist v.s. an actor i'm 100% certain you'd find he spent more of his life being kickass! long live the best

@houseofaction What dude? Have you even watch his biography it even says he knew marital arts a lttle from what his dad knew, but he was always fighting and at age 14 he learned Wing Chun to learn more and because he didn't want to lose a fight. Don't fucking say shit just cause other people are arguing you dumb cunt.

@Seaner86 first off all i have watched every documentary on him and i own countless books writen by bruce lee and about bruce lee and the only martial arts bruce learned before wing chun was tai chi and it was for the purposes of health not combat. you actually know nothing he first began training in wing chun because his parents thought it would helpt dicipline him and stop him from fighting. that is a fact
houseofaction 2 months ago
@houseofaction Well obviously you haven't or you wouldn't be looking fuckin ignorant right now, cause their is one that has his friends and family talking about him and it even says that where he lived started turning into a bad neighborhood and his dad starting teaching him the martial art he knew...so...SUCK THE FUCK UP!
Seaner86 2 months ago
@Seaner86 you are a dumbfuck not one documentary said his dad taught him martial arts for self defense the only system of martial arts his father practiced was tai chi which he practiced for the purposes of spiritual enlightenment not combat bruce lee began his training in wing chun at 14 for self defense purposes but this was years after he began training in the basics of tai chi

@Seaner86 bruce had a bad temper and the only way to stop him to fight was to calm him down that is exactly what his parents thought wing chun would do to bruce. which ultimatly didnt work since he continued to get into street fights and they ended up sending him to san fransico so he wouldnt get in trouble with the honk kong police anymore.

No of course a heavyweight is stronger than Bruce Lee, and of course a guy like Bas Rutten has more powerful kicks. Facts: heavyweights are more powerful than lightweights, and if Bruce Lee would have to fight in UFC he wouldn't be very successfull because he is not used to pro fighting.
Flyingtart 3 months ago
@Flyingtart i would have to disagree 100% if you look at how a UFC fighter troughs his punches and kicks, they're sloppy as all hell. and they are not accurate enough to pin down a titian like Bruce lee... or even jet lei. they would swing a few times and miss, Bruce would get all up in there business and tie up there arms and kick there ass... i would say that about almost all martial arts... because really, UFC is a joke... there not by any means the "ultimate fighters" not.even.close.
bobylify 3 months ago
@bobylify You got a point, but you can't just look at the artists techniques alone, the techniques correspond to your opposition as well. There are many situations where seemingly dumb or slow moves are actually the best ones, due to the given circumstance. Bruce Lee even said this himself. "...fast or slow. But depending on the circumstance, that might not be slow."
DrMadolite 3 months ago
@bobylify
I had the same mindset as you when I was 14 years old and just started Kyokushin karate. Actually when UFC was fairly new the fighters were sloppy toughguys who came there because they kicked ass in their lokal bar.
Nowadays in UFC we see Muay Thai champions, all american wrestling champions, Kyokushin karate black belts, sanda/sanshou fighters (these ones have kung fu background, like Cung Le for example).

@bobylify
The more you learn about boxing, BJJ, wrestling, fighting in general you realize how good most of the UFC fighters are. Bruce Lee could throw nice sideway push kicks yes, but that doesn't determine how good of a fighter he is. I can throw that kick fairly well too, but I don't when I spar in MMA because of the risk to be taken to the ground (and I have kung fu+kyokushin background so I suck on the ground).
There are many Lee fans who really don't keep it real.
Flyingtart 3 months ago
@pippiculo Not the strongest. But the fastest yes, because speed and impact (technique) = everything. Also, most of Bruce Lees feats can be achieved if you apply the right techniques and they have been. He was mere groundbreaking in a world of status quo tight asses. Bruce Lee was exceptional, but he was also blown completely out of proportions in the media, especially after his death.

bruce lee infact was an actor before he was a martial artist having been in his first movie in 1941 when he was about a year old infact he was in a good 11 movies before he began wing chun

@pippiculo Bruce Lee was acting LONG before he learned martial arts. He made many movies as a small child. I just watched a documentary on him. I think he was around 19 when he offered to teach a Kung Fu master to dance if he would teach Bruce Kung Fu. The teacher said he never did get those dance lessons.

Li is a master of several styles of wushu, especially Changquan (Northern Longfist Style) and Fanziquan (Tumbling fist). He has also studied other arts including Baguazhang (Eight trigram palm), Taijiquan (Supreme ultimate fist), Xingyiquan (Shape intent fist), Zuiquan (Drunken fist), Yingzhaoquan (Eagle claw fist) and Tanglangquan (Praying mantis fist). He did not learn Nanquan (Southern fist), because his training focused only in the Northern Shaolin Styles.
