  • Karate grandmaster Joe Lewis is a former World Karate and Kickboxing champion from the United States. He's sure his Karate in more powerful than Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do and tries to teach Bruce Lee a little lession. But it backfired as Bruce demonstrates in this video.
    Here is the full story: • Bruce Lee's Big Fight ...

    Joe and Bruce became great friends after this, Bruce offered Joe the role of Colt in Way Of The Dragon, but Joe refused to lose to Bruce in the movie, he wanted the fight at the end of the movie to be a draw, Bruce said no and they ended up arguing over that fact and the friendship was over. Bruce offered the role of Colt to Chuck instead, and the rest is history.

      takes alot to overcome fear as both did in different situations. Joe maybe more competition and Bruce more in experience of life in general. I don't remember from what I've seen Bruce ever in exhibition actually do anything except try to improve as in what he'd learnt to enhance someone else interested in life or this life style. I suspect this is why he's still remembered. if I may I'd like to add someone that will explain life in this and more ways Sadhuguru. definintly fighting is not his aim just life and more in a general sense. this is all great. like life can be.🙏😀👍 all the best to everyone

    I was in High School in Seattle in 1962 or 63 when Bruce Lee visited my school. We were told that there was going to be an early morning meeting of the Lettermans Club just before an all school assembly. At the meeting was this short young Chinese guy, We were told his name but the name didn't stick at that time. He came around and talked with each of us personally for a few minutes and he was trying to teach a martial art. In 1963 (or so) we didn't know what that was. Anyway, he shook hands with each of us and we were off to the assembly. It was in the school gym. Turns out this guy was the center of that assembly and demonstrated his talents. I even saw him do this punch. He got one of our very husky football players to volunteer to take the punch. After the assembly we soon forgot about the whole thing and went on being 16, 17 year old kids. Years later I managed to put 2 and 2 together and figure out who the guy was. At that time he wasn't famous. That is how I met Bruce Lee. Since then I have been to him and his sons' graves many times as I have family at the same place.

      About 2000 I was in San Francisco and a taxi I was riding in had about a dozen Bruce Lee action figures sitting on the dashboard. We were stuck at a Rail Road crossing and I commented to the driver about the figures and mentioned I had met him. He was interested so I told him the story I posted above. When I got to my destination and I was going to pay the driver comped me the ride for the story. Surprised me but seems he was happy to have met someone who had met Bruce Lee.

    Thanks for the great video of these two legends. My father and Joe Lewis served together in the Marines in 1964-65 and earned their black belts in Shotokan karate (the style developed by the great Gichin Funakoshi) in a dojo in Okinawa. My Dad was the only other heavyweight, so worked with Lewis every day, which he said was brutal, especially his side kick. Lewis earned his black belt in 7 months, my Dad in 11. Besides work, they had little else to do, and focused on their karate day and night. Dad said Lewis would have him hold his feet while he walked on his knuckles on the concrete of the dojo floor and out on the streets and footpaths, until Lewis' striking knuckles were like horns. He said Joe Lewis is the baddest man he ever met.

    Make no mistake. Bruce was not a force of nature, he studied and trained ceaselessly to become one.
    He operated on this premise. Make a fist as tight as you can. Okay, now make it a little bit tighter. A little bit tighter...
    That is Bruce. You made it tighter, right? And, tighter still? You're initial instruction was to make a fist as tight as you can. You couldn't make it tighter. But did.
    The lesson? Nothing is so good that it can't be made, done, better. Had Bruce lived on, he would have just kept getting better. Scary to think. Picasso said, "The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it (that gift) away." Bruce did both.

Then bruce lee throws a punch from 2 feet away and says try and block it... "everyone claps" now from this and his movies all of a sudden hes the greatest fighter ever and no one could stand a chance... do you realise how ridiculous that it... and how much that spits in the face of all the REAL fighters that have come and gone... Bruce Lee fighting record is 0-0 yet he gives a few irrelevant and actually quite funny demonstrations and that makes him the greatest fighter and martial artist ever... go and watch Anderson Silva defend the UFC title over 10 times ... watch him front kick Vitor Belfort in the face , or do a reverse uppercut elbow knockout on an opponent then you will what a great Martial artist is...

Also, he knew how to rescript his subconscious mind, brain and nervous system through audio sounds and relaxation to enhance his speed, in which I specialize in today. That’s the huge part of him that he took to the grave and most of the world and fans are not aware of it. He was ahead of his time in that area as well.

      Bruce didn't discover it. He learned how to generate force like this from doing Wing Chun in Hong Kong. "Intercepting fist", which Bruce named his system after, is a concept from Wing Chun, where an opponents attack is seen as an opportunity to also attack and deflect at the same time, hence "intercepting fist."
      People in the West think Bruce invented all these things because he was the first to bring them to the west but much of his knowledge came from kung fu. Where he was more revolutionary was including techniques from other styles, rather than sticking dogmatically to a system as taught by a master.

    I never met Bruce Lee. I was a young kid when he died. However, I studied several different martial arts as an adult over the course of more than two decades. I encountered the one inch punch on several occasions. It is very impressive the first couple of times you experience it. Thereafter, you start to notice that it feels more like a push than a punch. It definitely moves you away from the guy executing the punch. It can be a decent method of opening distance between a fighter and his opponent. It can even knock an opponent to the ground if he is off balance or not expecting it. What it doesn’t do is inflict any damage. Just like Joe Lewis did in the video, you get right back up without being hurt.
    A good way to conceptualize this is to place your open palms an inch away from an opponent. Now lean forward and push while making sure to continue driving your palms forward even when your opponent begins to move backward. Your opponent will move in much the same way as with a one inch punch. He won’t be injured unless he falls and hits his head or something else goes very wrong. Boxers do similar moves all the time.
    I don’t think this does anything to detract from the reputation of Bruce Lee. He was remarkably strong for his size, was extremely fast, and was one of the most skilled martial artists of his time. All other things being equal, however, f=ma and ke=1/2mv^2. Size does matter.

      Mass is not volume. Size is not the same as weight. Or at least that's what I've learnt. You could produce a lot ofnpower by recruiting muscle fiber along the kinetic chain insteas of isolated, simple muscle action.
      But that being said, I mean that muscle size is not always strength right?
      Things Bruce Lee is known from is including weightlifting on it's training, besides being able to perform very complex and hard calisthenic movements.
      It does not reflect on his size, and I don't have too much info on hin but maybe he was a heavy weight (muscle strength is a dense muscle, so it weighs a lot [high mass]).
      By the way I'm just enjoying the talk and raising some genuine questipns here, my argument was over as soon as it started.
      I'm interested in developing strength avoiding hypertrophy as much as possible.

      From a physics perspective, the big issue with mass is that it places an upper limit on the amount of force any person can deliver with a single punch, kick, or other attack. Let’s stick purely with f=ma for the moment. Acceleration in this context refers to any change in velocity so it can refer to either an increase or decrease in velocity. Both have an impact on the amount of force a martial artist can deliver. With regards to a decrease verses increase in acceleration, imagine the difference in force generated by a punch delivered to an opponent under the following different circumstances. The punch will deliver more force if an opponent is standing still than if he is backing away from the punch. The punch will deliver yet more force if he is moving into the punch after it has already reached peak velocity.
      From the perspective of kinetic energy, we would look at mass and velocity. Ke=1/2mv^2. Velocity here is essentially what we typically think of as speed. I think it is fair to say that there is an upper limit to the velocity with which humans can deliver a punch. There comes a point beyond which our skeletal structure, nervous system, muscular system, etc. simply cannot go. There will certainly be differences between individuals but there is bound to be an upper limit for our species. Let’s assume we have two individuals who deliver a punch at an identical velocity. Under those circumstances, the more massive individual will always have a higher limit on the amount of force he is capable of generating.
      Of course, things are rarely that simple in reality. One fighter will almost always be faster than his opponent. Physical conditioning also impacts stamina and strength. We have seen in MMA that both of those are significant. Skill level and variety of skills also have an impact. Being accustomed to taking a punch or kick can make a huge difference in outcome. Sheer determination can sometimes help compensate for other weaknesses. Experience in fighting is a major issue.
      Well developed muscles increase both mass and strength. The ratio of fast twitch to slow twitch muscle can improve speed. I understand there is a specific gene complex that heavily impacts that last factor but this is far outside of any of my areas of expertise. My understanding is that just about anybody can make major improvements via targeted exercise but that some people just have better genetics.
      I really didn’t mean to suggest all of the other factors involved don’t matter. I will admit to being tired of hearing well intentioned martial arts instructors telling students that size doesn’t matter. Of course it matters. That much is simple physics. Less massive martial artists start with a handicap. It makes sense to be cognizant of your weaknesses so that you can develop strategies to improve them or compensate for them.
      A quick Google search suggests that Bruce Lee was 5’8” and weighed 130 pounds. His physique placed upper limits upon the amount of force he was capable of generating. I would argue that he was very aware of these limitations and was dedicated to improving them where possible and compensating for them when it was not possible. Very few people show that kind of dedication.

      @@MinionofNobody yeah, I believe it matters from a biological point of view. Studies suggest thst a muscle can only be so strong if it doesn't grow in size.
      I saw saying thay being big isn't necessary strong in a lot of cases, and it directly impacts the equation since a big muscle has less muscle density than a strong muscle (of course, there is a line where a big muscle is also a strong muscle, but they are not necesarrily related).
      Bruce was fairly light though. There's also a mathemathical proportion as to how much people can lift depending on their weight, and it's never more than 3 times their weight, so hypertrophy + strength makes more sense in a literal way.
      But studies, I believe, have only covered this in so many areas, not including specific athlethic / martial srts groups ( probably because of lack of study subejcts).
      These kind of disciplines show how much the human body can adapt thanks to constant effort.
      I wonder how much Force Bruce was able to put in a fully accelerated, full range of motion kick/punch.

      @@alexandrucatalindragan6842 While i agree the 6" punch isnt practical in a fight, it is a great show to how a grounded stance along with a 2 way tork motion can generate a great amount of force, even from a 6" distance. Its a great learning tool in developing powerful strikes without throwing your bodyweight behind it as it requires all the same fundamentals as a longer distance strike which will have even greater force behind it. So learning the 6" punch is used to both learn the proper body placements and movements to powerful punches as well as teach it through demonstrating its effect even at short distances. This is why this event shown in the video was more of a demonstration, rather than some sort of comparison or competition... Used to insight and inspire future generations into learning and perpetuating the arts...

These kinds of fights happen everyday all over the world. I would bet Bruce would destroy another capable martial artist in such an example. He would explosive with his fist at short distances or confined spaces. He was a master and channeling his energy into one punch or kick.

Yicun, 一寸, literally means "one inch", but in chinese it expresses the concept of "short space"; jin, 劲, means "power or strength", therefore the meaning is: to emit the strenght of the whole body in one short movement. Strength comes from the feet, is governed by the hips, flow up the spine and emitted by the hands, this implies another two fundamental concepts of Chinese styles: songkai, 松开, the characteristic muscular relaxation and waisanhe, 外三合, external three armonies (the hands move in harmony with the feet, the elbows move in harmony with the knees, the shoulders move in harmony with the hips).
