i'm a bruce lee fan and I hate this...
as a chinese person i find this to be pretty stupid documentary sure it had some good areas like how people understood the significance of chuck norris getting his ass kick but seriiously, why couldn't they just make it a bruce lee documentary/tribute like the other ones
i.e talk him up and thats it, instead of retards who THINK they know what they are talking about
like that loser british guy saying JEET KEUN DO is american
*beep* you it is you stupid pom, all the intercepting concepts were in alot of wing-chun intercepts with the feet. If you say "big deal that proves nothing"
well i say kungfu is the MECCA of martial arts and dont' think its asian martial arts only but fighting in general you think there is not style that is parrying or intercepting and reacting only?? its in the hong kong movie 'kncok about' with yuen biao (one of jackie chans young martial art brothers)...a bad guy using a intercepting technique that can be used to intercept and parry punches and kicks.
let me say this, a famous cantonese saying 'tin ha mo gung tsoot siu lum"
"the world martial art originated in shaolin"
all this grappling crap and wrestling ALL originated in china
in cantonese its called "jung gwok moon goo soot gar" chinese and mongolian wrestling, where punches kicks and grappling were acceptable
so MMA is rubbish, all styles used are pretty much taken from chinese kung fu, so this concept of fencing, boxing, all this was taken from western influence?? no its merely bruce trying to get an understanding of those things, frankly they are existed for millenia in kungfu
and to say that bruce would love to see UFC and MMA is insulting, yes he doesn't believe in traditions too much and hated fake self defence i.e martial art magazines that say 'step one step two' nonsense and fake competitions that can't be used in real life self defence
but he still believed in MARTIAL ARTS in general, in cantonese its called 'mo soot' a art you express with your body, its meaningful, kungfu is based on thousands of years of tradition, philosophy and culture...all MMA especially UFC is all just dumb steroid bound guys beating each other into a bloody pulp and attack a person on the ground like a pussy.
its EXACTLY like a school fight, make a few punches and kicks that is suppose to look pro then spear tackle them, then mount and hit them like a coward
Additionally all that stupid asian girl (probably japanese or korean) saying jabs and boxing in general was more realistic is stupid. It couldn't be use too affectively today effectively without modern views, but thats because perception hasn't evovled not because its rubbish
bruce failed using traditional methods fighting wong jak mun is not because wingchun was stupid or even irrelevant, but bruce didn't know how it should be perceived in the modern way i.e how a modern opponent would react
there's a guy called msater wong on youtube that uses wingchun and taichi and hasn't modified it really but expresses it in a way that its RELEVANT to todays way of thinking of how the opponent would attack you this day and age
plus the documentary that says 'fist of fury' aka big boss is actually
'chinese connection' aka big boss....do your research properly
chinese can't be in a leading role?? hey even chow yun fat didn't get to kiss the hot blonde in "the replacement killers", or jet li kiss miss fonda in 'kiss of the dragon', or some asian guy i saw in the 90's tv show 'charmed' no kissing but close ups of the lips but never touch...a fat white guy playing as cubid (because the show was about the supernatural beings) had a *beep* kissing role with alyssa milano, its just racism in white culture
dan inasnto is embrassing himself like he INTRODUCED bruce the nunchukus, bruce was just playing with you to be polite and trick to show you YOUR version of using those tools, you think china doesn't have them?? anyone heard of TRIPLE STAFFS...nuncukus were pretty much like them...whats the difference??
