[snowboredsnj]

[Readioheed]

Thank you, komodragon. :)

[seokjin49]

I learned it from drinking an empty tea cup

[GreasemonkeyCGI]

Thanks for uploading this.

[voldovsfaust]

Only Bruce Lee could transform in a couple of days a stupid blind gwailo in Daredevil... XD

[electrotech3000]

When you have seen bruce lees' movies, they have justice too. This guy is amazing

[arilestariono]

this is what martial arts is all about, awareness..Bruce teaches is awesome.....we miss you Sifu..

[ihatelumberjacks]

I much prefer this fight scene to many of the fight scenes around today. This is actually much more representative of an actual fight, rather then Jet Li jumping around doing fancy split kicks lasting for 20 minutes. Bruce got into many actual fights in his life on the rooftops of hong kong, he knew what he was doing, what he was trying to convey here. Impressive it is mmmmmm...

[KickAssFan2010]

This clearly displays what bruce lee was trying to get across. You must take the basics and modify so it suits you and the situation. This is the essence of JKD as you should use what works for you and you alone. If one of your weopons dont work then develop another. Its all about using what works best for you.

[blackWarlord12]

i think i get it now the art of martial arts there is no martial art just you

[cleo1930attic]

Would someone please put this show "Longstreet" on DVD. I just loved this show. Pax and Mike were a great team.

[edgardusXII]

This scene was the spiritual force and vital life of Bruce Lee's teachings.

[dapadawan]

dude is like the zatoichi of martial arts

[BeanieSkater]

i dont like all this grabbing fights... there rubbish

[DBSaiyanTim777]

This was a cool film because of Bruce lee!!! :D

[DeeJayRoyalT]

I hope you NEVER remove this episode from YouTube. I saw this on TV as a kid and it was one of the first videos I added to my FAVORITES three years ago. I still revisit it every so often just to hear Bruce speak the words. As much as he taught us in such a short period of time, I can't help but wonder about the depth of knowledge left behind. Nearly 37 years after his death he still lives on as strong as ever.

[VioletSpikeZiggy]

this was good. more please.

[MessengersOfHouse]

Very deep!!!

[sibphu]

@MessengersOfHouse don't 4get mr. silliphant gave us ENTER THE DRAGON. God bless!!!

[madmax8903]

Stirling Silliphant was a great writer, as shown here. Studying under Bruce, he got him alot of work in Hollywood post-Green Hornet, of course this was the most famous occasion, where he wrote an episode for his friend and mentor.

[tonynaso]

James Fransiscus was quite a good looking man in his time..

[darthkahn45]

4:37 sorry

[darthkahn45]

1:37 was a terrible last line, I can think of several that would be more appropriate.

"by becoming water"

"I leared how to die"

"I learned how to think/listen"

[Shanethefilmmaker]

@darthkahn45 dude, the reason why most maritial artists win in the end is because they learned and accepted how to lose and die.

[DelDrew]

i wish bruce would talk to me like that whenever i get into a fight.

[Shanethefilmmaker]

@DelDrew to hear one only has to listen

[Shanethefilmmaker]

this scene reminds me of bloodsport

[pajamasp7]

even though hes blind, he has bruce lee as a trainer so its still unfair

[Shanethefilmmaker]

was it fair for three guys to rush him in the middle of the night.

[CaptainNomura]

I saw this series because I remembered James Franciscus from the Marooned and the Beneath of the Planet of the Apes movie but kept watching because of Bruce Lee. This is one of my all time TV episodes, much more than Kung Fu.

[BullyU4fun]

awesome episode!

[tattoofu]

Thank you so much for posting this! I'm stunned that this crucial bit of bruce Lee lore isn't on DVD.

[d4seasons]

@tattoofu as a matter of fact these longstreet episodes & the green hornet episodes are out on bootleg DVD's manufacturd by the chinese market.

[RFpunkchic]

holy shit that's awesome xD

go blind man taught by bruce lee :D

man bruce is awesome. he can even teach blind people! xD

[jacklyw]

Drinking tea with an empty cup.

Is your cup full? my friends

[Devilbat]

This show represents pretty much what and how Bruce trained Norris, Joe Lewis an Mike Stone to give them tips for their karate tournaments. All 3 have credited him

[dogshit71]

bruce had soul!

[choeuchkin]

that gorilla never saw it coming.

[gnicevids]

no its not the same because bruce lee did not come up with those ideas at all. people in the martial arts has been doing then for centuries.Bruce lee was the best in his field when he came to america. but could not find anyone here in the states that could teach him.He said that the older kung fu brothers of his (in his kung fu school) could destroy this guys here in the state.Yip man was great and bruce at the height of his ability still went back to learn from him because bruce was incomplete.

[MangakaRob]

If you think that way then no one can innovate anything. you read from books so that means no ideas are your own? Just because a philosophy parallels another does not make it any less yours. Taking concepts you learn and then making them your own and building on them with thoughts of your own IS creation. Opening your mind to ideas and then giving them a form you create is making it yours." It is expressing one's self to the fullest." The form of no form,the style of no style is Bruce Lee's own.

[gnicevids]

lol the the form of no form etc is taught to bruce from yip man ok and no man ever create anything think about it.

[MangakaRob]

no, Yip Man taught Bruce Lee Wing Chung...he didn't teach Bruce specifically to use methods from all martial arts into one. Bruce adopted some Wing Chung methods, yes...but Wing Chung is not the way of no way, it itself is A way.

And *you* need to think about the fact that Bruce took various aspects of the martial arts and put them together and had philosophical ideas of his own.

Creation is building something with your own interpretation, influence or not. Creation is expression.

[gnicevids]

yes it was taught to him by Yip man Buddy. Just because you take some thing from others and put them together does not make it yours it like say i gather all these block in the room and because no one as there to claim them then there mind. First of all its a form of repect to acknowlege that your sifu thought you something which bruce never mention yip mans name. and thewhole way thing was meant not to have a way of attack or defend to use any means. Bruce read this from the art of war.

[gnicevids]

because add your interpretation to somerthing still does not make it yours. You need to read bruce lees book with the eye of not a fan but a neutral person. read need to speak to his best friends since childhood hawkin cheun who studied with him under yip man all you people want to put Bruce in this invicible category but he is a man i like him but i know what is what. Most of those concepts come from the shaolin temple anyway. how can he be better then those guys impossible.

[skybluemarshall]

No matter how you slice it, Bruce Lee was an innovator. No Martial artists in Lee's day practiced and studied: philosphy, weight lifting, dieting, bodybuilding, running, cycling, aerobic training, western boxing and wrestling, Kung Fu, Japanese arts, Jui Jitsu/grappling. He tried to incoporate and embrace them all. Other artists were much more rooted in 1 or 2 things, but not all of them. He also encouraged beginners to immediately spar at near full contact. Nobody was doing all of those things

[skybluemarshall]

That is to say, Lee was different from his peers. He taught anyone of any race, creed or color and would consider studying anything that might help him before he rejected it. Can you imagine a classically trained Wing Chun guy, cycling on a stationary bike, muscle magazine in one hand, dumbell in the other, protein shake on the counter, western boxing books on the floor, white, Asian and black students hitting a bag in the backyard? Absolutely unheard of in Bruce Lee's time!

[MangakaRob]

ah I was too slow on the addition lol

[skybluemarshall]

I agree. Bruce Lee broke down race barriers,. He accepted that all fighting arts might have something to offer. He used Western ahtletic conditioning techniques. Americanized Karate was doing some racial integration and some of the athletic conditioning. But Kung Fu was still closed to westerners. Nobody was cross training like Lee was. It was very separated. Karate guys, Kung Fu guys, boxers, bodybuilders, wrestlers. All separate and exclusive clubs. Tying it all together was creative

[MangakaRob]

And to add to this...Bruce Lee is also the first person to press for asian Martial Arts to be open to westerners and not just restricted to asians.

I personally do not put him in an "invincible" category. I'm not just some "fan boy," I kind of see Bruce as a rival, for me to try and transcend. It took courage to break a restriction. "This style is better, that style is better" is stagnant, it doesnt improve anything. Taking principles and putting them together like no other, IS creation.

[gnicevids]

you mean that no one in the united states did what he was doing. but back in hong kong and with Grand master Yip Man they were already doing this. in the US they were mostly doing karate and people did not want to get hurt. But Yip Man use to take his student out to full contact fighting. use himself use to spare with his guy and mess them up. lol buy the why did bruce want to challenge his mentor wing chun. because there were guys that were better then him.

[skybluemarshall]

No, I mean nobody was doing ALL of the things that Bruce was doing. Yes, there were some Kung Fu practioners sparring full contact with student, but did they open their classes to white and black students? Did they practice western Boxing, wrestling and bodybuilding techniques? Were they doing arm curls, running 5 miles almost everyday, while shadow boxing, or cycling or downing protein shakes. Lee stood apart in his way of using every modern fitness routines and practicing every fighting form.

[gnicevids]

ok no they did not do some of these thing by western definition but by eastern definition yes they did. Thats is why bruce could not introduce these routines to them. The shaolin work out all the time. from running to washing dishes or sleeping. yes he did have blacks or whites but karate was already doing that. look at all the old films you will see that even in bruce lee's film. The guys didn't all of a sudden get there. You need to read hawking cheun website bruce best friend since 15.

[skybluemarshall]

My point is, Lee was very different from the teachers of his time, who rigidly adhered to their own styles. Lee was more open to consider something new, try it and then either use it or toss it. He was using much more western many ways than the Kung Fu guys. He was much more Eastern in his philosphies and ideals than the Karate guys of his time. The Key word is ALL. Nobody was doing ALL of the things that Lee was doing. He was unique blending of East meets West and that made him different.

[gnicevids]

there is nothing new lee use what was already in his own way thats it. JKD is not the onlyart to have all these other arts within it, it has been done for centuries. lol look up shaolin arts, japanese arts. Bruce was the first to introduce the realness of the art to the west. before then there was a rule of not teaching it to the west and bruce broke that rule. He needed money and he wanted fame. he got both. He was a great martial artist. his idea come form Taoism not form him at all.

[skybluemarshall]

Interesting point, except I never said he invented Taoism or that he was the first to racially integrate his classes or that he was the only marital artist to study western boxing, wrestling, body building, weight training, modern, scientific diets, sports training methods and practice kung fu, Taosim. I'm talking about one man, doing all those things, not this guy, plus that guy plus ten other guys. Show me one single man who combined EVERY ONE of those things at that time. I smell a Lee hater

[gnicevids]

No he is not the first but he is the first to tell most of chinese secrets. Shaolin to name one has done this fo thousand s of years. The martial arts came from India. Shoalin boxing came from european boxing, all the weapon sytems came from somewhere esle in the world. bruce is the only one you know Huo Yuan Jia was one of the first to start intergrating all arts. Not to many people know about most of these martial artist anyway. there were so many of them who did but bruce read books on them

[gnicevids]

an took their ideas. Yip man would accept challenges from other art and he would study them buthe felt that he did not need to change because no one could beat him not even Bruce look it up. By the way what you smell is your own ignorance. he think of bruce as superhero but he is human. Their are guys in the saolin temple that we may never here of that are so much better and quickly that anybody we see on tv. what about them what about the five shaolin fighters who were call the invincables who

[gnicevids]

took out about 100 guys at once to protect the temple; and this wasa weapon fight. You need to know that Bruce went back home to hong kong to tru to learn the more wingchun from ipman and ipman bust his ass ip man died one year later from throat cancer. Bruce was in the best shape of his life. What about the white wrestler that beat up bruce. Dude I like Bruce Lee and what he stand for but no man outside the temple is the best kungfu guy in the world.dont reply unless I talk 2u. ur achild in MA

[HXL056100]

and without Bruce Lee, pretty sure kungfu is still not as popular as it's today. oh and martial art is NOT ONLY coming from India. it's true Bodhidharma is the beginning of Shaolin kungfu , but it's not the only fighting system , aka martial art in the word thou.

[Jet134]

Bruce didnt do it to seek fame -.- he did martial arts for himself so he could express himself truly, others noticed him doing it and got interested, they asked him to train them, not the other way around. They asked him to be in a series and movies, not the other way around.

And of course he needed money... everyone does, duh.

[shengchenfan]

this is true,everyone wants to be in the martial arts and movie because of Bruce.

[killerteddie]

omg, all she can say is his name hoping he'll come to the right direction. she cant even come to his aid and help him to the car.

[popupwool]

This reminds me of the film "blind fury" with Rutger Hauer.

[kostasolid]

bruce leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeee

[4theforce]

thanks for posting these videos -- reminds me of Daredevil.. Too bad we dont have more tv shows like this around anymore; reminds of the Kung fu series

[LPOSLA]

6:10 = THE CLOSET KILLER!I wonder if Bruce could have took that one out single handedly?

[Mike07P]

the women pisses me off she doesnt do shit and they keep showing her durin gthe fit scene bitting her lip like 2 million times.

[killerteddie]

i want to fuck the blind guys wife xD

[butterp7]

It's funny..you can apply those words to just about everything you encounter in life. I apply those words when I play basketball. From now I when I hear those words I'll picture Bruce Lee clapping his hands and saying "listen"!!

[Nigh7shad3]

hmm morpheus stole Bruce Lee's quote about freeing your mind :P

[hero121385]

:47 to 1:13 brings a tear to my eye. Way before its time!

[594205778]

don't forget to spell learn correctly as well

[egdqv13234]

''You must free your ambishus maind and lern the art of dieing....'' great! :))

[JohnFromSpace]

ambitious

mind

dying

If your going to quote Bruce Lee spell it right. Bruce Lee must be rolling in his grave with that butchering of his quote =)

[moneymasterjet]

Place commercial here...

[dardrex777]

isn't the other guy tommy lee jones?

[dardrex777]

the main guy can't throw kicks well... but it was still cool to see a blind guy kick ass.

[kwaichangdave]

This show lasted 23 episodes, only one season.Bruce was on 4 episodes:"Longstreet" .... Li Tsung (4 episodes, 1971) - I See, Said the Blind Man (1971) TV episode .... Li Tsung - Wednesday's Child (1971) TV episode .... Li Tsung - Spell Legacy Like Death (1971) TV episode .... Li Tsung - The Way of the Intercepting Fist (1971) TV episode .... Li Tsung

[Huhmasta]

great episode, man this got me pumped up! Go bruce lee!

[taekwondoacrobatico]

WKD thx i wanna cee more now!

[shengchenfan]

That was good.

[jkdsifu]

Now this scene is the epitome of what Bruce Lee's art is all about - to find the martial art that will work for YOU and your limitations, not to fit you into a pre-packaged martial art the way they do in classical, traditional arts. The blind, the disabled, non-athletes, and senior citizens all have the right to know how to defend themselves. Bruce Lee was a genius when he created Jeet Kune Do...

[mailerin]

and ahead of his time.

[4theforce]

he wasnt ahead of his time -- he was an innovator -- he saw something was wrong and corrected it

[mailerin]

he was an innovator and ahead of his time.

[gnicevids]

he was not a head of anything lol he saw people using the concepts in a wrong way so he corrected it. all his phylosophies were wayyyy before bruce lee. books like the art of war or confucious or even wing chun like be like water be form less is wing chun. some can from the shaolin temple. he was great but not an inventer or ahead of his time. he made thing right. Go Bruce

[mailerin]

that's my point. he took a different approach, he did not train traditionally.

[StanleyKu]

How is being innovative different from being ahead of your time? It means the same thing.
