Stu, when I first started reading these comments I thought you were the one in the wrong. I thought you were trying to discredit and slander bruce. I see now that you are just misunderstood so, I want to help alleviate your frustration by saying I get you bro. I understand that you aren't bashing your saying that a lot of what is in his movies isn't identical to his true style. It shouldn't be either because fighting in itself is not pretty. It's carnal and there is no room for spectacle in survival. What we see in his movies is common in all martial arts films from the era and still ripples through some of today's films. It's known as "wire-fu". I do have to say that I think you underestimate the capabilities Bruce had. If there ever was a superhuman it was him. The reason why I say that isn't because of the kick debate you had with the tae kwon do guy. It's because of another post I read of yours. I think you give 21st century fighters way too much credit. I grew up around everyday practitioners with more skill and resolve than 99.9% of the current star studded fighters. If that's what you call them. This is the one time that I feel a person older than me should of been stick in the past because when it comes to fighters. Pound for pound and in their prime the oldies would destroy the new class. Who is confused that the clip isn't anything close to a real fight?

No one here. However, Bob wall, Norris and the Olympic level martial artists he trained with and a host of other elite level martial artists he trained with vouching for his ability aside, the first kicks he threw out in the clip are lightning fast. You dont even see the best bantam weight boxers slip jabs that fast. Elijah Myers, fair point. It's hard to compare eras, especially when Lee's focus was refining and expanding the martial arts vocabulary as opposed to competing. Wow stu, you sure are an expert. How many fights have you been in? In fact, there are many "experts" here it would seem. Fact is, different moves work in different fights, on different fighters. Now, everyone that knows, knows every real fight ends up on the ground, unless both fighters choose to stand up. But in real fights with people that are wanting to destroy the oth r person, those fights must end up on the ground, unless someone gets knocked out first. Bruce took the styles from alot of martial arts that's why he was a bad ass, and wrestling, that's a martial art too, and i think thats why Judo is so effective, on take down and grappling. Judging Bruce Lee from the movies is clearly a mistake.
Those fight scene must be played in slow motion due to the cameras' inability to capture his moves.

In other words, his enemies never see what is coming, never see what truck that hits them, never understand why they suddenly passed out and wake up in an infirmary... So true because a real life Bruce Lee fight would not be theatrically pleasing but very direct and short. He only used film to promote the art. No one was ever more dedicated to the art. He was a martial artist first, actor second. But there are eye witnesses to some of Bruce's real fights . It was a double feature of "Return of the Dragon", and "Enter the Dragon." Stu the target blocks the kick low or to mid section and then. It was a little of whatever works at the moment, grappling, poke, kali, etc.
