Bruce Lee saved my life. I was 13 when FoF opened in my home town. 5 yrs later my cousin and I were studying and practising JKD. We became quite good at light sparring but never practised full contact. Didn't matter coz 20 yrs later a man with a knife tried to mug me. He woke up in the ambulance with multiple fractures. Thank you Bruce.

People can say what they want. They can love or hate him but this guy made a big impact! He questioned traditional techniques, developed his own style and changed martial arts forever. That cannot be denied!

His stamp on martial arts and the way it is portrayed in films is everywhere in films today and will probably be forever. It is a shame that he did not see how far his impact would go. RIP big brother.

The most exciting and revered martial artist ever ... RIP dear Bruce Lee ❤️

Bruce was simply the greatest he took his art from traditional to exceptional. Only one man in a lifetime, Bruce. May his memory live for ever.

I agree, there will never be another one!!! I was a fan since I was 10 years old, now I`m 56 and still watch Bruce Lee`s movie...

Bruce Lee is an innovator and genius. There will be no other like him.Ahead of his time and died way before his time. He took on the world and won their hearts and respect. Love you always Bruce Lee 💥💖

Bruce Lee’s honesty, tenacity and skills shall live on forever. R.I.P.

Finally we know what really happen when Bruce fought Jack Man. Thank you for bringing Bruce Lee's story down to earth. Bruce is a legend!!

I grew up in the era of this legend, and amazing human being. I remember my older brother and I watching the Bruce Lee movies. Bruce Lee movies were larger than life. "The way of the Dragon," was our first movie we saw. This was in the early 70s and now it`s 2020. I am probably a bigger fan now, and I have a new found immense respect for Mr Bruce Lee now due to age/wisdom. Thank you Bruce Lee for who you are as a person, husband, father and a fighter.

Enjoyed this short video on Bruce Lee. Incredible man, husband, father and martial arts innovator. His untimely death on July 20 1973 at the age of 32 shocked the world. Truly an innovator of Martial Arts. Bruce Lee his legacy will never be forgotten. Its been 49 yrs since Bruce passed away yet he lives on in many peoples hearts and minds. Their will never be another Bruce Lee. 💪🏻🙏🏻✨

Any video on or about Bruce Lee is more than worth the time it takes to watch it. He was and still is one of the most interesting of brethren in our "one human family, under the sky" (BL) May this hippy, fighter, philosopher, poet ALWAYS be loved and remembered fondly...rip Bruce! ☝️🤛🤙

Divine Bruce Lee... He said, Don't go with the flow... Be the flow... He is dearly missed...

"The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long and Bruce burned so very very brightly" There will never be another Bruce Lee he was and is the best

Bruce Lee is and will remain the BEST. It happens THAT Sometimes a MASTER is born. I'm glad it happened in my lifetime! I never cease to be amazed by his skill.

49 years after, and we still excited hearing stories about Bruce. 👍

Bruce Lee died almost 50 years ago but his spirit lives on ; a true legend!

Bruce Lee's art was ever evolving. He was so far ahead of his time when he passed and we have learned so much from him. Imagine how much further his art would have developed had he not passed away so young.

What pains me the most is not only the loss of such a great man but the philosophy behind it. We all LOVE you Bruce and we ALL miss you.

When growing up Bruce Lee was a big influence. Thanks for the back stories.

The fact we still talk about the legend some 50 years later is testament to his life beliefs and achievements, sadly we will never see another Bruce Lee but luckily we have movies of many kinds to still enjoy and pass on to the next generation. I was completely hooked and fell in love with everything about Bruce Lee from as young as 14 and like many that will not change, I still feel as sad today as that dreadful day when he passed away but the legend lives on nothing but love bro 💪

thanks! when I was a smaller boy, Bruce Lee was my biggest inspiration, he will remain one of the greatests, despite all rumour and true/biased stories about him.

Do not fear the guy who knows 1000 styles of kicks.. Fear the guy who practices the same kick 1000 times a day - Bruce Lee

I studied with Danny Inosanto at the kali studio in 1975 and recently with Richard Basulio in 2014, they were the best, I still love watching the movies, Bruce lee was the best their ever was & will ever be. That type of dedication only come once in a life time.

Beyond the scope of physicalty his technique is still mystical and unparralleled. Gone but not forgotten.

Bruce Lee was the incredible perfectionist of the Martial’s art. Simply the best!

the first I heard of Bruce Lee, was when my cousin told me about a film called the big boss and asked if I wanted to go see it. He had heard about it from a friend, we both went to see it, both of us were totally gobsmacked at how anyone could fight this way and move so fast. Although we were only thirteen at the time, we realized that the fight scenes would have been choreographed, but the moves that bruce performed were totally phenomenal, I have been a fan ever since as I am sure that anyone who has seen his films or had the pleasure of seeing him fight would be. To me he was the greatest martial arts fighter of his time, probably still the greatest, that's ever been.

Rip bruce! We love you .. Even after death you are still teaching us to be our very best at life..and come to the level of equality with each other. One heck of a master of the martial arts .truely a one of a kind.

I remember when "Enter the Dragon " first came out we were in junior high school and my friend Wes Hughes was USKA number 1 in his age and class ..he went and watched it 27 times in a row.. He became Wes lee..Bruce was the best role model I think the world will ever see. He was very intelligent and is just a powerful role model today .... can you imagine someone seeing him for the first time all these years later and what they must think about him besides astonishment !

Bruce Lee was born the same year my father was born and I still love that man he taught me a lot of respect for the discipline of martial Arts that comes with wisdom associated with self defence. RIP Bruce bad ass Lee

R.I.P Bruce Lee unfortunately you'll never know how many lives you've touched or how many lives you have made better

Thank you for recognizing Mr Parker!!! I heard so many stories about Bruce Lee and Mr Parker when I trained Kenpo in the 90s and 2000s from Mr Parkers original students. All good stories

Greatest fighter of all times Bruce Lee will be remembered through history forever he is an inspiration for all who study marcial arts long live his name

If only smartphones and the internet existed during his time... Born to early, died to young, RIP Bruce.. He had so much more to share with the world..

In the old masters mentality they looked at Bruce Lee as a rebellion Martial Artist while he was taking his fighting style to another level.. in other words Bruce was certified as a new revolutionary martial arts fighter in his own time ... he was ahead of his time he literally mastered all fighting styles to invent his own skill of fighting style💪🏾💯💯💯💯

Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a hard one - my favourite Bruce Lee Quote

This is a really well researched and accurate representation. David Chin is a friend of my dad's and has told him the same story for years. David was there, and actually takes credit for goading WJM into fighting Bruce. David saw BL's presentation at Sun Sing Theater and got pissed off at the things BL was saying on stage. It was never about BL teaching Gung Fu to non-Chinese, it was all about wanting to put a "big mouth" in his place.

Thank you for one of the most honest, clear and concise Bruce Lee videos, I've ever discovered.

His accuracy was perfect. His execution unbelievable. His speed unmatched. His speed was that of a predatory animal.

i have been a bruce lee fan since childhood, there will never be another one!!!

I always loved his form. The way he kicked and moved his arms with tremendous speed. He was the best. I only wish he made more movies.

Can never get enough of the real life super hero Bruce Lee.

As I said before, Bruce lee's style can be reproduced, but never his speed. Rest in peace, you will always be a master.

I'm surprised that no one shows Bruce Lee defeating Sammo Hung with an armbar at the beginning of 'Enter the Dragon' in 1973. He was MMA before there was even a name for it. R.I.P., best of the best

Yes I want more stories of the legendary MR. LEE

I want to thank all those who contributed in this short film about Bruce! Yes thank for a refreshingly new fact digging and compilation of this video!

Bruce Lee has been gone now for 47 yrs and yet he's still considered the best martial artist in the world by many who still admire and have not forgotten him to me he was the best trained martial artist who was way ahead of his time way ahead of our time he wasn't a 1 in a million he was a 1 in a billion since his time no one has come up to becoming what he was to us so blessed so graceful sooo fast im absolutely sure there will be no one like him ever not in this life time he was here now he's gone thats all folks we cherish whats he done what he giving us what he taught to those who were even lucky to have been taught by this one of a kind martial arts icon who will live in our hearts and memories forever Bruce Lee the world loved you dearly you were here with us for a short while but for us that was enough to convince us of what kind of man you were and meant to all who knew you and to your fans all over the world

Rip BRUCE Lee you are still loved to this day

His philosophy has saved me in many ways

Love stories about Bruce Lee. He had a great life. He was a brilliant man and truly charismatic. Yes he is the Goat

While I'll forever be a Bruce Lee fan and will always give respect and credit to Bruce for his dedication to the martial arts and innovative approach to traditional Kung Fu, there are countless numbers of martial artists that came before and after him, whose talent and commitment can never, ever be ignored.

Got the full collection box dvd of all his movies. Every time I watch one its just like the first time!!!

There are 2 types of people those who claim to accomplish things and those who actually do. Bruce was the latter. He studied and trained his mind and body to perfection. Legends never die. RIP Bruce

Rip Bruce!!Your memories will live in our hearts and minds forever!There will never be another like you on planet earth!!!!

No the master of Martial Arts will never be forgotten. Always remembered and highly respected. Bruce Lee lives on.

How have I not seen this awesome channel before? Love this video, now I'm gonna go watch more. Liked and subbed. Thanks 👍

Thank you for this, I've only read water down versions of this last fight with Jack.

Thanks for this post! Grateful for KZfaq!

Thanks for the great vid. Brings back memories. Started learning from Bruce Lee 50 years ago. Saved my life a couple times.

Great video!!!! Thanks for clearing up so many rumors and historical inconsistencies in the life of this master and total original.

Thank you ... that covered so much .. as well so much footage I ain't seen

I began my Karate lessons on Okinawa from one of the greats, then in CA switched styles to Shotokan ryu kyu under Robert Halliburton, and also fought many times and still am a true believer that having a black belt does not make you a weapon but being able to fight in MMA or on the street you need to understand that Karate alone will not make you a good fighter, many skills are necessary and most important is having no fear of feeling pain, but learning how to not feel pain is what I learned from Shihan Halliburton in what is called the power of Ki but understanding it. All the stories I heard about Bruce Lee you just verified in this video. Thanks for posting.

Love Bruce! I want more stories :-) for sure. Bring it on. And thank you for this video!

Thank you for this video, fact is always more interesting than fiction!

Thanks for clarifying those fights👍

Bruce Lee the king of discipline and movement RIP

My dad introduced me to bruce lee when I was little would watch all his films all the time. He was a true master martial artist and there will never be another like him. Super human he was to fast and to forward for his time a true legend and the greatest fighter that's ever lived

When I was a kid I used to sneak out of my second story bedroom window - shimmy down the drain pipe and ride my bike for 25 mins to the local drive in - then I would climb over the fence at the back and sit near the last row and if there were no cars near by I would take two speaker put them on the ground crank it and watch a double feature of The Master himself Bruce Lee - his legend will live on forever - the above story was facinating for me as for I never new the real story until now. Long Live the memory of the Real and only DRAGON !!!

thank you for sharing this!! i had heard a lot about their fight including the one lasting 20 minutes and the one where he was defeated.

Best account of the entire conflict I've heard so far.

Legend always be a Legend and He Is The Most Iconic non forgettable Master Till Today..All The Martial Artist Learn from hin Since 1973 to Now..He is Always a Idol for All Person..

I love the art of fighting and this history is important in helping to understanding it

Thank you for this clarification of the real events that took place with that fight! If nothing else, one thing for sure, he was way ahead of his time in terms of practical and effective fighting. What a legend!

Such an amazing martial artist. One in a life time. You’re missed a great deal. RIP, Bruce!!!!

Even today there's probably no one. That could still match Bruce Lee with his ability and fighting skills. The most inspirational and role model to look up to whether your young or old.

you have to listen to this documentary over and over, as with all other talks about Bruce lee. I appreciate this one more than all the others because they went in depth but it is alot too fast. I have been studying the life of Bruse since I was a teen,, I now I am well into my 50's and I am still learning... I appreciate this video documentary.

Bruce Lee was a speed machine combined with special power . A super human being ahead of his time .Loved and inspired by millions up to present time and in the future .thanks for sharing this wonderful video

Herd many many different stories about my childhood and adulthood hero, studied under his teachings till I was about 24, injured in auto accident stopped my Marshall arts for good, but still love the discipline to this day.

He was my hero growing up, yet I learn more reasons as I still hear more of what all was going on.

People have no idea how Bruce Lee indirectly helped others even without having met him. He wad the reason why I got into martial arts and sparring. Even simple moves from JKD without joining an official JKD school worked in street situations.

He was the man that nobody can't beat all sports together , great job on this documentary 👍

Definitely, a great role model and inspirational figure. The first time I heard and watched Bruce Lee , it took over me . Taking everything I did from that point to the next level. I loved this man and never met him.

Thank you for educating me on this great man.

I was stationed at Treasure Island Marine Corp base a couple of years after this time, I did not know any of the Lee people but there was much going on about the fighting styles then. I had only taken what course that the Marines gave us; at that time. Mostly judo, etc. Once i got out of the service I acquired several good martial arts magazines on kung Fu and several other styles . I practiced some of the principles and philosophy of it and was really filled with zest. I was super fast, catching flies, Humming birds and rattle snakes was no problem. I held on to those magazines for ever and learned by heart what they taught. One at a time I gladly gave those, ( Jewels of Wisdom) to others that were more into fighting than I. I still have some books left and cherish them. Bruce's teachings gave me a peaceful zest in life I had never known. A big thanks to the other guy who put out the Kung Fu mags. Now at 74 am still fast but only for my age, my mind still functions of the Zen principle to keep my youthful feeling alive. Thanks for the video.

In 1972 when l was 11, Bruce was my absolute hero and I was devastated when he passed away. His awesome ability was the utmost finest on the planet and still is to this day. No one during his life and since could ever beat him in any form of martial art and I'd say that he was the most efficiently muscular man to have ever lived. Bruce, l still love you!!!.....

Lovin’ every minute of it!!

Bruce always has been and continues to be a strong influence of how I conduct my life. Thank you for sharing. This video further strengthens my belief if Bruce's philosophies as well as support the spiritual transformation that I'm currently experiencing.

Awesome Video!! Thank you for sharing

Thank you for this video!

Thank you for your research on Bruce Lee. Enjoyed every minute, and wish there were more.

Great summary. I learned a lot. Bruce Lee was an amazing man - open to learn, innovative, and most of all, extremely capable. What a legacy!

Thank you for clearing the air I didn't know what was true or not this helped out a lot and was very inspiring to see!

Bruce was a real man he didn't cheat on his wife. He was trying to show the world that everyone could be good people and that everyone could be better people.

I barely leave any comment , but I really liked the fairness of this video. Thank you for such a great job.

Bruce Lee completely spoiled me, I can't watch any other martial artist fight. Once you've experienced the best, there's no one left. #icon #legendary

Bruce Lee is a brilliant martial artist! 🔥🔥🔥

He is the reason I started to train in martial arts. I still train now and love it. He is and always will be the best. If you can learn and use his technique, you will be untouchable. Like he said, it's like a finger pointing at the moon, do not concentrate on the finger or you will miss out on all that heavily glory.

The fight between Bruce Lee and Wong Jack Man was a turning point for Lee. Though he was a skilled practitioner in Wing Chun, he was disappointed in his own physical conditioning because he was winded by the end of the encounter. The fight was only a few minutes long and involved more running than actual combat; this was something Bruce hadn’t trained for. He trained himself, and his students, techniques in face to face fighting, not running around. Though Bruce’s skills, and techniques, were far better than Wong’s, Bruce came away with two realizations; he couldn’t finish his opponent fast enough, and he had to condition himself for prolonged engagements. He also realized that the slight changes he had made to His core techniques in Wing Chun were insufficient. This caused him to examine every aspect of his own fighting skills; which lead to the ever changing system of Jeet Kune Do. His early JKD was still heavily based in Wing Chun; most upper body and foot work was linear, side stepping only enough to keep your centerline to one side of the opponent. But Bruce continued to improve his endurance, speed, strength, power, economy of movement, and techniques from other systems; from this, true JKD emerged. He never stopped refining his techniques (as Bruce put it: “Removing the fancy mess of martial arts”), and practiced “Critical examination of his own methods“. He tested every technique in real full contact training on a daily basis. Don Inosanto said they practiced almost daily, and Bruce’s skills change almost daily as well, because he was constantly working on a better way to overcome his opponent. He said there were times when he felt like a punching bag, because for every partial strike he landed, Bruce would hit him several times; sometimes hard enough to put him on the ground gasping for air. While most MMA fighters recognize Bruce Lee’s work as the foundation they built upon; most traditional martial art forms don’t recognize JKD as a true martial art because it didn’t originate a thousand years ago. To me that’s nonsense; every aspect of JKD has its origins in some early form of fighting, most are martial arts. The fact that these techniques are combined, and refined, means they are better and more effective; in the end all that matters is who’s still standing, not how they pose or dress. I studied several traditional martial forms before finding JKD, none of those other methods really worked unless you were facing off against someone from your same style; I quickly realized they wouldn’t work in the real world because they couldn’t adapt. After learning the foundation principles of JKD I incorporated a some things from those other forms; things that worked for me. I also spared with as many skilled people from other forms as I could, and I incorporated certain aspects of those as well. The foundation is still Bruce Lee’s JKD, though mine is different; that’s what Lee had in mind, “Unless we all would have four legs and three arms, we will have different styles”. Bruce Lee was one of a kind; the right muscle fiber, rapid twitch reflex, dedication to be the best, and eye for detail, strength, power, speed, and confidence. I doubt there will ever be another Bruce Lee.

I still remember the first time I walked into a theater. "The movie, Enter the Dragon." The birth of my love ❣️ and respect for Asia. Bruce Lee remained true to the Art of Self Defense! His teaching and guidance were Priceless.
