Sources about Bruce Lee humiliating Chuck Norris The following story is Completely True: At a demonstration in Long Beach, Chuck Norris met the soon to be famous Bruce Lee, who would ingrain Norris in martial arts history forever with his portrayal as Bruce Lee's nemesis in the Way of the Dragon.

Sources for this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Beach_International_Karate_Championships

[4] But while the two were publicly friendly, contrary to what many (including Norris himself) state, they were not close friends. Lee had repeatedly humiliated Norris during a mock sparring session in the hotel hallway at the Long Beach International Karate Championships in 1964. And Norris had offended Lee when he publicly claimed to be a better fighter than Lee. When word got back to Lee, he called Norris and openly challenged him, threatening to drive to his school to fight (Norris was teaching his black belt class at that time). According to eye witnesses, Lee made Norris hold the phone receiver up and shout in front of his black belts, "Bruce Lee is a better fighter than me!" Later, Norris wrote an Apologetic Letter to Lee; the original letter is currently in the care of Lee's student, Dan Inosanto. Dan Inosanto currently still owns the Letter of Apology that Chuck Norris wrote to Bruce Lee, which is in a Long Beach Dojo. Yet despite these conflicts, the two managed to set aside any differences in pursuit of their mutual film aspirations and develop a friendly public persona toward one another. [5]

I find more and more to LUV about Wikipedia all the time! I don't think theres any online info site thats been BOTH edited and sourced more!

[–] spacecowgirl-2 17 years ago

Yeah. Wikipedia is REALLY reliable. Anyone can go in and edit it to say whatever they want. According to your logic, I could go in and say "Chuck Norris is a douchebag", and you'd believe it. Just because you read it on the internet. On Wikipedia.

God, grow a brain.

And a beard.

As a side note, I find it interesting that Wikipedia removed the b.s. crap you mentioned in your original post because IT IS NOT TRUE.

Yes, actually, it is.

Not really. If you make up bogus crap it will generally get fixed quickly. And controversial articles that are likely to be defaced are often locked to prevent such abuse. And of course you can see the history of the article, including what was added, removed, etc over time.

But all of this is really irrelevant, since the quoted material is NOT a Wikipedia article. It's from an ongoing discussion in their talk section, sort of like these forums here. It's also mostly a bunch of links to other sources (most of which are utter BS by the way.)

The point is, if Chuck Norris has to apologize to Bruce Lee for offending him, and turning down his challenge, then doesn't that mean that deep down, Norris didn't think he could beat Bruce Lee?

[–] jeffbennett22 17 years ago

It does mean that Chuck Norris goes hunting, not killing

[–] littledragon-3 17 years ago

That story is true. Apparently Dan Inosanto has the letter Chuck wrote to Bruce apologising. Chuck said Bruce was the better fighter in front of all his black belts.

[–] clay56 17 years ago

"Apparently?"
Has Mr. Inosanto displayed or read this letter publically?

[–] rwsmith29456 15 years ago

Yes, everything you see on the internet is true (barely stifling laughter)

[–] victorsuk 10 years ago

Why doesn't Dan reveal exactly what the letter says? WHy is everything so shrouded in mystery.
They always withhold footage or information from people who want to know.
But it is a funny anecdote and wouldn't surprise me if true. But you don't hear much about it.

[–] heyste 17 years ago

bruce and chuck were friends Fact!

[–] man_or_astroman 17 years ago

The fact remains that both Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris realized that a fight between the two of them would destroy the entire universe. They settled it like gentlemen and all of our lives were spared.

[–] delt_ 17 years ago

^ ha ha, the only thing that would have been destroyed is chuck norris's ugly baboon face =)

psht dont you guys know that Chuck Norris originally wrote the first dictionary. The definition for each word is as follows - A swift roundhouse kick to the face.

Too Weird to live Too rare to die.

[–] abaltazar072580 17 years ago

Bruce Lee once asked Chuck if he had change for a twenty. He did a roundhouse on the $20 bill and turned it into 80 quarters...

[–] residentevil6901 6 years ago

I for one sure would've liked to have seen them fight for real in a ring.

[–] martens-jesse 6 years ago

I have proof of it not possibly being true:
