Was Bruce Lee legit? New Documentary [HD]

👊💥Hey Fanboys! Bruce is my idol as well, don't get me wrong, but in my opinion he was not a fighter but a martial artist, of course a pioneer, a very disciplined and astute man. Thanks to him millions of people began to practice martial arts and he broke many prejudices. He was a philosopher ahead of his time, and of course he brought a lot of richness to the martial arts with his great wisdom (pay attention, because this is also said in the video). I only say, and I am totally convinced of it, that his skills and figure have been exaggerated to irrational extremes. The whole documentary is made and narrated with respect, even if you say the opposite. I'm very happy with the work I've done. I just find it too sad that people can't understand that you can admire and at the same time intellectually criticize a person. I almost never read the comments of my videos, just some randomly, the truth amazes me that you don't understand that the Silvester Stallone thing is a simple metaphor. Bruce is a legend and that is also said in the video, but most of you haven't even seen the whole documentary. He had many physical and combat skills and even as I recognize in the documentary itself he could have been a great professional fighter, but you have directly taken the video as if it were a simple attempt at slander, instead of the analysis of a social scientist exposing the different argumentative layers around an ethnographic situation. This report only aims to disprove some of the most popular hoaxes about the artist through documentation and critical thinking. Maybe someday I will make a much longer documentary, with more clips and arguments because people definitely went crazy about Bruce, and that devalues those who were true blood and fist fighters. I grew up my whole childhood with a poster of bruce in my room! just don't give him any more credit than he got. I'm glad you guys leave comments, because that gives me a lot of views, engagement and praises my work, I won't be able to keep reading you because I have a lot of videos to produce and clients to work with in my other studio. In any case, I am not interested either. I wish you all peace and have a nice day.

I'm 60 years old I have been practicing martial arts for over 40 years. I saw my first Bruce Lee film when I was eight. I dare say if it had not been for the man the myth and the legend Bruce Lee I would not have started on this wonderful journey. What I took from Bruce Lee philosophy was not to be a slave to form. I belive anywhere practicing martial arts for some time would reach this conclusion. No one person has inspired martial artists more than Bruce Lee. Say would you may about him the man was a genius

No matter what others says but he was a real deal the king of martial arts (Bruce Lee)🙏.

"I have the absolute confidence not to be number two, but then I have enough sense to realize that there can be no number one." / "I'm not in this world to live up to your expectations and you're not in this world to live up to mine" - Bruce Lee.

If I tell you I am good, probably you will say I am boasting. But if I tell you I'm not good, you'll know I'm lying. - Bruce Lee

You must compare him to what was around at that time. He was ahead of his time. an innovator. Fast, powerful, intelligent, disciplined. A true great.

Bruce Lee 1940-1973 Such a short life, but what an impact.👊

Bruce Lee’s impact on culture cannot be underestimated. He was more than a martial artist. He was a trailblazer. People who had never watched martial films before watched them because of Bruce. Also, Bruce was a dedicated teacher. He had a lot of natural charisma. I would have loved to see him act in a movie without martial arts.

He was more than legit. He was too legit to quit.

Bruce didn't just practice "some" wing chun and became an actor. You're talking about a legit man that studied & lived martial arts with an insane amount of extreme training & dedication that is almost impossible to replicate. Breathed, ate, & slept it. Like the painter that can't stop painting or writer that can't stop writing. Add to that his study of body bio-mechanics and his physical feats of strength that much larger people couldn't replicate. An example would be a small power lifter being much stronger than a larger bodybuilder. The guy was developing his finger and forearm strength when - even to this day - most athletes or fighters don't! Take an average mma athlete's training TODAY, & it still won't compare to the amount of training Bruce did. Unlike today's sparring with certain rules, Bruce's "no holds barred" sparring sessions were legendary (ask those that were there like Dan Inosanto). I won't even go into his speed, but both of those together are a rarity & deadly. I wouldn't be surprised if the reason he used coke & other substances was to help maintain his busy schedule once he took off as an actor. That plus his back injury and need to wind down & relax. I won't judge him when many today live on advil, antidepressants, & weed just to name the now legal weaker substances. Ali would kill Bruce in a boxing match. However, in a street fight where anything goes?? I seriously have my doubts & feel Bruce was being humble & respectful. Also, no disrespect to Chuck, but when you have the world champion Chuck Norris not wanting to "go there", it speaks volumes. May want to question why that was. Any confident chanpion would have fought anyone - even for charity as an exhibition. But in many, many interviews, you can see how Chuck was careful not to sound to cocky or challenging. That respect had him in check - a world champion. Thanks for the documentary, enjoyed it overall. ✌

Didn't your parents tell you not to speak ill of the dead? Bruce Lee is a legend not because he was a "professional" fighter, but because he changed American's perception of martial arts. Remember that Warner Bros was half-hearted about Enter the Dragon and forced the production team to pair him up with a white "star". The film was seminal. It changed Hollywood forever. Bruce Lee is personally responsible for changing the perception of Asian people and martial arts around the world. Have some respect. Personally, I thought the video was a straw man argument.

Chuck Norris, Jim Kelly, Bob Wall had acknowledged how great of a Martial Artist Bruce Lee was. They got to know him and trained with him. So when you Google "Who is the best martial artist" just see who pops up first. That says it all. And he didn't have to be a world champion. Norris said it himself. Because is not about the titles you achieve but the knowledge, the discipline, the training, the recognition of other experts.

Sometimes it’s not nostalgia -,sometimes the past really is better .

The robot voice used here takes a little away from the presentation. There are many legendary Asian martial arts masters and no one belittles them by saying they couldn't fight because they never competed. For me Joe Lewis, considered by many the greatest Karate fighter ever, was trained by Bruce Lee and said Bruce was the real deal. That's good enough for me.

Of all the famous people in the world who have died none have been talked more about than Bruce Lee. That is the legacy he left behind. That is legit!!

People can negatively talk and make all kinds of negative comments towards him only after his death. Bruce Lee is far Above & Beyond being the GOAT of Father of MMA. Period. Bruce's great arts & personality still continue inspiring generations after another.

Bruce was a real martial artist. If he was alive today and in his twenties he would do well in mma. Bruce was really the first to combine styles.

The difference between these martial artist was they weren't serious about there craft as was Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee lived And breathed martial arts this guy practiced every day. Where did you hear any body talking about Chuck Norris or any other martial artist in that era practicing every single day martial arts. Bruce Lee was the real deal and till this day were still talking about him he's been gone 50 years. We love you Bruce.

he has been dead over 50 years and still the topic of conversation, folks still try to get clout on his name, his image his legacy, say what you want he will be remembered and honored long after any of his nay sayers will be, his accomplishment will stand, the effect he has had on martial artist, fighters, and action movies, how many people can accomplish what he did, in a three year time span in the lime light , 4 completed films.

Bruce actually never said he was unbeatable. He admitted he was small, only 135 pounds and no match for the likes of Mohammad Ali, for example. But he could beat anybody off the street and did so. He could also beat anybody of his stature from other Asian-training schools and did so. And as someone who has used the same drugs as presented here, I actually don't compare those to steroids. And he was actually still really fast, as is expected with someone of his build. As for his death, that has nothing to do with him being legit. But you shouldn't ignore the fact that his son died in a similar manner to how Bruce's character died in "Game of Death," from a gunshot wound on set while filming. It is an odd coincidence, like one in a million. Like, it's actually the only time it's ever happened, and it was predicted in his father's last film.
