Bruce Lee made an art specifically for fighting in films because real fighting did not look as good.
Goronhead
Their first mistake is trying to fight Bruce Lee.
skribs
His feints wouldn't have worked on me. They're so fast I wouldn't have even noticed them enough to get distracted by them.
wantondisregard
This video, with the last kick he nudges the guys hand out of the way first https://youtu.be/c2YafHQ2BEU you just barely notice it
LarryLevine
okay...Imgur is also a teaching tool for new vocabulary words that people who are old enough to write comments on here should already know.

A thousand points for the dragon
Noob3rts
Feinting is a huge part of any form of fighting. Bruce Lee is just so damn fast that he only needs one feint to beat you.
lewaq
Time to binge watch Bruce Lee movies!
sa7mada7
Thank you for teaching me the word feint. :)
Splittmark
The back fist one is incredible. Anyone can feint though it's just mastering it and training and being Bruce lee
AreWeNotDoingPhrasingNow
TOO FAST TOO FURIOUS
Silvercypher
i see what ya did there. lol
djangojazz
Keep in mind Bruce Lee went so fast he was told to slow down while filming. Absolute beast in fighting. "Your Skill is extrahhh ordinary."
kfab
I'm convinced that Bruce Lee would have crazy good handles and crossovers if he played basketball.
NachomanDandyCabbage
Can you imagine how JKD would have developed in the years since he died if he was still alive? He was so young but his philosophy was huge
JMaxGarage
I think it would have translated to MMA. JKD is for sure the precursor of modern MMA. I believe Bruce would have embraced grappling
jaminjimmyjames
Bruce mixed eastern, and western fighting styles to develop JKD. I would work well with some grappling integrated.

... You monster. Take your upvote.

Bruce Lee hits you so hard you start tripping balls
freshoffthetugboat
Now I need to watch every single Bruce fight scene in slowmo to see what I've missed my whole life
Fonzcorp
Be water my friend.
technophobicitguy
Always upvote Bruce...I lived for those movies when I was a kid....
Simsimillia
TIL: Bruce Lee really, really didn't like hugs
BurntToACrispyChickenTender
The amount of discipline he has over is body to not hit those guys as fast as he is going is unreal. A true master of his craft.
poopiedo
Always upvote Bruce Lee. Today is Chuck Norris Bday.
r997
More points. Awesome post @op!!

Well, in this situation that would constitute a crotch kick...
WhataboutBobWiley
just break the wrist and walk away
dietderpsy
He is 1/2 * 4 times the man he is.
arewevenom
Rule number one never let a guy in a wheelchair get on top of you it's game over they are all arms
manamarish
What's rule number two?
arewevenom
Never trust a fart.
dejadrew
Never.
consolepeasent
Should have pushed him into the pool.
Techtronic
Fatality
TheWielderOfTheFlameOfAnor
But he has the high ground?
IllusionsPlay
Should have tried low kicks.
Iancharcoal

ThecommentFarmer
Hey, that was a low blow
BoltActionGearbox
look at that footwork
Bootsy81
Notice the lower feint.

Upvote granted. Iirc, the exact same joke was made several years ago about midget martiial arts... might that have been you, too?
footblockking
Feinting is faking for anyone confused, like a fake jab, not like he passes out for a second
sammyismycat
Thank you.
saiwut
Came to see Bruce Lee pass out, realised I was stupid
smellsmiketeenspirit
Yeah. That would be fainting.
rattlebone10
Thank you, I was wondering.
prepbatman
thank you. I wasn't sure what I was looking for....
Amra8791
Unless you use pass out feint
BenjaminPannell
A very useful technique in the drunken fist, I presume?
Amra8791
Learned that from Neverwinter Nights game actually :)
CrimeThinker
That's faint. That's a different word.
FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
I think they meant unless you feint fainting. Which would be a rather clever feint. A faint feint
PatrikLilja
And he does it so fast that the opposing person can't see or react to it....
NinjablazerZero
The other people are trained fighters. May not be as fast, but fast enough to see it and attempt to react to it.
ThisIsAUsernameThereAreManyLikeItButThisOneIsMine
You don't suppose that the script of the movie might be related?
PatrikLilja
Kinda my point, it is choreographed fights. Not realistic fighting.
sthreet
There isn't really a point if you don't do that.
PatrikLilja
I know, that's why I pointed it out.
SeeShark
The other people are trained fighters. They have muscle memory and reflexes performing a response to the feint, which creates openings.
PatrikLilja
If they notice them, yes. But there will not be a reaction if they are simply too fast to be noticed.
SeeShark
Better safe than sorry. If they're quick, they'll be fooled by the feint. If they aren't, they'll get hit by the actual attack anyway.
PatrikLilja
Sure, but only the first guy seem to actually react to the feint. The others are not.
MultiplePersonalitiesProfile
You know those were movies, right? RIGHT?
PatrikLilja
Yes, that's my point. These are choreographed fights. But the poster use it as an example of great fighting technique.
MultiplePersonalitiesProfile
Do you believe he was "the best fighter of his time"?
PatrikLilja
I can't judge that. Nobody else can from choreographed fights either. I believe these moves is all showmanship nothing else.
jsexton
Not quite, your body starts reacting, but doesn't have time to shift to the real threat. He's so fast that feints are probably unneeded, tho
PatrikLilja
My body will not react to a feint if I do notice it...
PatrikLilja
*not
PostNutDepression
Doesn't that mean your reflexes are crap then? I'm no martial artist but if someone swings at me my first instinct is to stop it and counter
PatrikLilja
If you notice it. I've been training so e martial arts and currently studying neuroscience. You will not react to something you cant see 1/2
CaptainAham
Fuck that man was fast
CapnJackSparrow
Especially when you consider these are scenes from a movie. Those feints are completely unnecessary, and he does them out of reflex
SickSickIndividual
Source?
CapnJackSparrow
No source, just my interpretation. Why choreograph a move that most audience members won't see? Might be wrong, but the movement looks 1/2
CapnJackSparrow
more reflex/training than scripted. Combined w/ Lee's well-known mastery of his craft, makes sense to me. 2/2
SickSickIndividual
He probably didn't mean to be that fast haha
jiynxed
his writings on how to get that fast are really accessible - he attributed it 100% to training.
kaovalin
Yes let's all ask for a source to favorite and forget
jiynxed
my personal favorite is google.
AnalTelescope
shit man, I thought it involved kool aid
CaptainAham
Makes sense, I imagine a lot of it is muscle memory to the point where it's second nature
jiynxed
yes, he was a very big advocate on practicing perfect form until it was like breathing. that old phrase about practicing one kick, etc.
javadad60
100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, 10km run daily will do that for you.
Arteryn
It only cost me my hair!
giraffinator
But training is haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard
BenjaminPannell
How many tenths of a second did it take for those hands to write it?
OptimisticDownvoteLover
Please source these writings. Thanks
jiynxed
www.google.com try phrases like 'bruce lee writings' or 'bruce lee books on martial arts' if you need a starting point.
AsparagusP
Training the mind too
jiynxed
only in thinking tactically about the fight. there was zero 'mental training' mumbo jumbo in his writing.
themobileappisbroken
In case anyone is wondering, the guy at the start getting the piss slapped out of him is chuck Norris.
PHUCKO
Impossible
HorribleCommentor
And the guy in the purple jacket, I believe was Jackie Chan and was an accidental but real hit.
JohnnieTheShrubber
And the guy in purple in the third clip is Jackie Chan in his first credited movie role.
iWantToBeDeadWithMyFriends
I'm pretty sure Bruce rips out his chest hair in this fight.
Sasuuni
He does, a whole handful!
agumonkey
who wondered ?
hitstuff
The beautiful locks of back hair should have given it away.
MadMerlyn
In case anyone is wondering, this is choreographed and most of the hits don't even hit because both men are THAT DAMN GOOD
kadaeux
Not quite true. If I remember rightly, Norris actually took it seriously and in the final fight made it real, got his arm broken by Bruce.
JamJarre
Not really though eh? Acting n that
painstream
Guess that's why he's a big shot in the NRA now. :P

ifyouwearcrocsihateyou
Bruce Lee. had the unfair advantage of facing a shaved chuck norris, exposing the 3rd fist usually hidden in the beard around the chin.
BobJohnsonOwait
Funnily enough, in that scene Chuck has a full chest of hair and Bruce grabs a handful and rips it out during the fight.
ifyouwearcrocsihateyou
Staged. Chuck's chest hair is highly venomous
RandomMachine
you've seen it too, high five my dude
Jabroni29
Chuck Norris is a faggot.
iamdanman
There aren't any Bruce Lee jokes because Bruce Lee isn't a joke
kidcolt
*holy shit*
iamdanman
*what*
OneShot510
What's Bruce Lee's favorite drink? Wa-tah! I'll see myself out.
iamdanman
Nice, don't go I need more
AZSupernova
Preach
AsparagusP
Chuck is so tough when he takes a piss he clogs the toilet...
lemonsherbet
Sounds like a kidney problem.
AsparagusP
But he already shit his pants because I told him Bruce was behind him.
LuckyWristbands
Chuck Norris has peaked his power level since the death of his rival
strongthought
Said everyone that has their rival die to natural causes or outside of the clutches of their own hand.
Gasquatch
And he dies at the end of this fight
strongthought
Rue dies MOTHA FUCKAAS!!
CocaineAndSelfPleasure
Wrong size, motha fucka.
strongthought
Good reply motha fucka.
Belckan
Chuck Norris doesn't die, he lets his employee (death) come to his office temporarily.
Digimontana
Chuck Norrris doesn't die because he knows that Bruce Lee is waiting for him in the afterlife.
Doctadeth
However, Chuck Norris has acknowledged that Bruce lee would have won in a genuine fight
1Plebian
it's a scripted fight. Chuck was world champion kung futhat year irc, bruce lee was a tv personality
JonestownClassPresident
Chuck was a champion but not for Kung Fu.
miir1
Chick Norris was never a 'world champion' in Kung Fu. Not in 1972, not ever... And Bruce Lee was not just a 'tv personality'
1Plebian
Lee is a fairy tale, because people like fairy tales and charisma
RobBobertyYT
Possibly, but chick is even more so
RobBobertyYT
Hehe *Chuck
1Plebian
True, but he is highly exaggerated and never really competed at any level. And my bad, it was karate for 6 years straight. Just for you.
1kanevil
Hes a street fighter so you won't see him in any competitions that has "rules.". He fights to get you down as fast as possible.
1Plebian
If you say so
