A mystery about Bruce Lee, never seen before.

[jubaji]

um....we do know how good he was. his punch was 300ths of a second. he took on triads like nothing and beat them in seconds. sure he may not have fought on camera, but does that really matter? we know how good we was. )

That's all you merit with the above nonsense.

[m.artist]

ok..whatever u say smarty

[IPON]

and they'll tell u that still noone could beat him. im not saying he was invinceible(sp?) but....well...i think there is all kinds of evidence on how good he really was

Actually, you are saying he was invincible if no on could beat him. And there is no information to support bruce being a any more than possibly a good fighter. There certainly are and were people that could be Lee what set Lee apart was films and his philosophies none of which were new, but Lee have the attention of teh country and the world and was willing to discuss these philosophies where others were not so willing. I am a Lee fan as well but you have to be realistic.

um....we do know how good he was. his punch was 300ths of a second. he took on triads like nothing and beat them in seconds. sure he may not have fought on camera, but does that really matter? we know how good we was. and i know we shouldn't worship the guy. we're just stating that he was good, probably the best. jerry rice, micheal jordan, muhamid ali, dale earndhart, tony hawk. all obsessed with what they did. so what? it made them the best there was and will ever be. they did what the loved. and they did it untill they died(some of them) and they kicked ass doing it. he was the best. i still think he would be the best today. he influenced lost of people sure. not becuz of his movies(ok a lil bit) but for the most part it was becuz of who he was, and what he did, and how good he was doing it. u can talk to anybody who knew bruce. and they'll tell u that still noone could beat him. im not saying he was invinceible(sp?) but....well...i think there is all kinds of evidence on how good he really was

This is freaking pathetic.You are one of those people who believe everything you read or hear aren't you? It is physically impossible for any human being on this planet to punch 300 x a second.Where the hell did you get this info about him taking on triads by himself ? I have read alot about Bruce Lee and have never come across that.If this was true Bruce Lee would have eventually been shot dead by them and his death was not due to any gangs.Triads are not the type of people you mess with unless you are an idiot even Bruce wasn't that stupid and knew his limits.

Of course people who know him would say he was the best because they were his friends.There is no actual proof other then what his friends say.What you see in his movies is not the same as he was in real life.His attitude may have been same but not his fighting ability.

Don't get me wrong Bruce no doubt was exceptionally good because he knew more then anyone else what worked and what didn't,he believed in combining different arts which was against tradition at that time and was disliked by many traditionalist because of it.This theory of his is what made martial arts what it is today.It had nothing to do with how good or fast of a fighter he was.Once Bruce got popular for this,everyone started to believe everything he did in his movies instead of looking at it from a realistic point of view.

Besides how good Bruce did get had little to do with his serious training in martial arts it had more to do with his fighting on the streets of Hong Kong. He was a trouble maker when he was a kid and got in plenty of fights.His martial arts training was just some added stuff to what he knew from fighting on the streets.

His theories and his movies are what mostly made him so popular that people started to praise him and see him as a "Martial Arts God"

I also read once that Bruce Lee was fast without a doubt for his size though and it was due to taking steroids.He didn't lift weight to get big as most people on roids do but to become more toned and to build speed while lifting weights.So even if he was the fastest as claimed it was only by cheating so that doesn't count to me.

I have read books and magazines on Bruce Lee in fact I have some of my own and have never seen anything about the triads.

I read that in a book in Chapters store that he took steroids,it only makes sense that someone could supposedly be as good and as fast as he was if he really was that fast which I doubt.

Physics shows that it is impossible for the human body to naturally move that fast so there is no way Bruce Lee did at least not without some help of drugs.


I have heard that Bruce Lee's techniques in films had to be slowed down in films because he was too fast for the camera but in reality to look as good as he did in his movies he actually had to have his techniques speeded up not the other way around.Yes ,he was extremely fast but not as fast as he is made out to be.

Besides I'm sure there were probably faster people then him we just never heard of them because they didn't compete or aren't popular because they didn't do movies so who is to say Bruce Lee was the fastest and best martial artist.I agree he was the best martial arts actor though.

There are so many myths on Bruce.Many people thought for the longest time he had been killed by a real bullet during the making of "Game of Death"when in fact he died from an anorism(or however it is spelt)which exploded while in a hotel room with some chick.

I will read a bio of his again to see if I find anything about him and triads because I am curious to see this since I don't remember anything about it.

Anyways to my knowladge steroids do not improve spead they just help in the building of bulk.

Well that was not the reason why the olympic committee took back the Gold medal from sprinter edwin moses

[MuayThaiFighter]

Okay what i heard is that the reason that his parrets shipped him to america is because he beat up the son of a traid.

Anyways to my knowladge steroids do not improve spead they just help in the building of bulk, prehaps they do but i would think that it would have to be another drug that would have done that. Anyways by all means Bruce Lee was an exceptional martail artist.

Steroids can do either build bulk or help you get faster it just depends on how you use the steroids and how you work out.

Look at Ben Johnson he got in trouble for steroids,because it helped him get faster and made him the fastest man alive for sprinting which the Olympics sees as cheating,it had nothing to do with him bulking up since he's not a bodybuilder.So who is to say steroids didn't do the same with how fast Bruce Lee was able to kick and punch and the reason his 1 to 3 inch punch became so powerful ?

I agree that Bruce Lee was an exceptional martial artist either way but not because of how fast he was or how good a fighter he was, I believe it was due to his philosophy,theories and his movies and with the way he was able to change what martial arts is forever.

Perhaps his parents did ship him to America for beating up son of a triad but if it is the reason that's new to me,I've never heard that before.

the steriods make u stronger. not bulkier. that was one of his main things was to be strong but bulky. he wanted the strength just not muscle masss. which is why he was so strong just kinda skinny looking. i have never heard nething about him taking steroids. but about the triads. im trying to think which movie it was...but like 90% of the background guy where triads. and being gangsters they made trouble on the set and would call bruce a chicken or fraud or what have you. so he would cut shooting take them over to the side and fight. usually he wouldn't b-cuz he didn't think it was right. but once in a while they would tick him off enough to accept the challenge. he would take them down in secs. he fought multiple opponents at once and was easily beating them. im sure if u find any real bio on him..llok for one by a man named john something....dammit..what's his name?...but he was bruces personal biohrapher. he wrote many books on him so im sure u will find it there.

[Tiger Claw]

From what I read bruce never even drank. I doubt he would of done steroids. I think the best thing he did was make jkd philosophy and influence western culture on martial arts.

m.artist i think you are talking about John Little

[sherwinc]

There is a real mystery that has been discovered by an artist, about Bruce Lee. It confirms that he was destined to be a Kung Fu master. All will be revealed within the next week or two, and I'll keep you informed about what this mystery is with a link. It's very interesting... from Chow Gar, Happy New year to all.
