If Bruce Lee's kung fu is played in today's fighting world, can he still be the king?

 Some so-called "dragon fans" always boast excessively about Bruce Lee's abilities, while others always deliberately insult the Chinese movie kung fu superstar Bruce Lee, and even compose some paragraphs to add fuel and vinegar to demean Bruce Lee. I personally feel that all of them are unfair, and Bruce Lee's real fighting level should be viewed objectively and fairly.

So, what exactly is Bruce Lee's fighting level in today's fighting world?

If Bruce Lee's kung fu is played in today's fighting world, can he still be the king?

On the Internet, I saw some people commenting that Bruce Lee was just an inexperienced fighting skill. Some even said that Lee was simply rubbish. To this end, I also produced videos of Peter Az, Mirko Filipovic, and other fighters in the K-1 and MMA projects.

Unlike some dragon fans who deny these top players in the fighting world, I personally believe that these people should be the strongest under the rules of arena fighting. Compared with Li, these large-level athletes have obvious advantages in strength and resistance; and Li is better than those fighters in flexibility and agility. After all, Bruce Lee is not a professional athlete, and he is also superior in level. There is a big difference between the above-mentioned people: Bruce Lee is 1.73 meters tall and weighs 64KG; Peter Azz (three-time K1 champion) is 1.94 meters tall, and his weight is estimated to be twice that of Li, but he can't just say that because of this. Worthless. Fighting ability is not just a ring game. Speaking of the K-1 competition, I admire Andy Hug the most, a vacuumist master who lived in Japan and a K-1 champion in 1996. He died in 2000. Although he was defeated by Peter Aziz in the K-1 final in 98, Aziz relied on his height and leg length and strength to hit the advantage in the game. In terms of technology, Andy Hagg was not defeated at the time. Any standing fighter.

Bruce Lee is a landmark figure in the fighting world. He is one of the reformers of modern fighting techniques. He can only be measured by his fighting ability.

If Bruce Lee's kung fu is played in today's fighting world, can he still be the king?

For example, comparing Chamberlain to the current center, O'Neal's personal ability is very strong, absolutely better than Chamberlain at his peak (I feel Yao Ming's personal ability is stronger than Chamberlain at the time). However, Zhang’s ability can be used to obtain data that is not easily achieved by a team today—100 points in a single game, 55 rebounds, and even let the NBA change the size of the three-second zone because of him. He is the No. 1 center in the NBA beyond reproach.

Therefore, the comparison between Guan Gong and Qin Qiong is not comparable.

Bruce Lee is the originator of MMA. He has been advocating this kind of free and unrestrained fighting style more than 30 years ago. "The inability is the law, and the infinity is the limit." This is also the essence of Jeet Kune Do. If you have seen the UFC advertisements, you know that the origin of UFC was due to Bruce Lee. US UFC Chairman Dana White once said that Bruce Lee was "the father of MMA."

Bruce Lee is a master in the U.S. and even in the World Martial Arts Festival. After Bruce Lee promoted Chinese martial arts in the United States, people came up with the idea of ​​combining all the genres to compare in order to know which martial arts is the most powerful. The United States is more practical. Whoever wins is the first. This is a bit like our Huashan sword. Unfortunately, Bruce Lee has no successor.

The cross-border training and mixed martial arts he proposed were forward-looking concepts at that time, which is the origin of the current MMA fighting, and the split finger gloves used in MMA competitions are also his first, which is conducive to the use of grappling. Manipulations and anti-joint techniques. At that time, Li also proposed to shut down the door, study extensively, and learn from the best of each family. When he taught his disciples, he said that if two people have similar physical conditions, one has practiced free fighting for three years, the other has practiced free fighting for three months, and then wrestling and jiu-jitsu for three months, the latter can be in actual combat. Defeat the former. This is exactly the concept of current MMA competitions and military and police combat training-cross-border training and mixed martial arts.

If Bruce Lee's kung fu is played in today's fighting world, can he still be the king?

In the 1960s, Bruce Lee was not very famous. At that time, Bruce Lee had used his bare hands to rescue a Chinese girl on the streets of Florida to subdue four criminals with knives, which caused a sensation. We can't simply say which is more difficult to defeat the four gangsters with knives in actual combat or to quickly knock out a strong opponent in the ring, because these are two different concepts, but one thing that cannot be questioned is Li's actual combat ability.

Many people only saw Peter Aziz at the peak of the K-1 match and KO a strong opponent in less than one round. They thought this was great, but many people might not know that it might be less than ten seconds in a real fight. Zhong will tell the victory and defeat, and it is often over by hitting the key.

The real origin of fighting is actually fighting in war and self-defense in self-defense. Once fighting becomes a competitive sport, it can't be called fighting, because there are no rules and restrictions in real combat. We can't poke our eyes, throat, or kick the crotch in various fighting games. The essence and original intention of the origin of fighting is to knock down the opponent in the fastest way, for fighting or self-defense, not for competition. Although we Chinese are accustomed to using martial arts as a method of strengthening the body, this only magnifies its fitness function and weakens its essence.

If Bruce Lee's kung fu is played in today's fighting world, can he still be the king?

If you say that the combat ability in actual combat, the strongest should not be the champions of various competitions such as UFC or K1, but the special forces fighters of various countries. They are not trained in how to knock down opponents, but how to reach people. There are no rules for serious injuries or even death. Because it is your life-and-death teaching on certain occasions, no one will laugh with their own lives.

In this way, I think the actual combat ability of "Croatian policeman" Mirko Filipovic (Mirko Filipovic) should be stronger than in the ring (he is the chief instructor of the Croatian military and police combat training, probably similar to Lin Chong. Eight hundred thousand forbidden army coaches). In the competition, Mirko was the Russian PRIDE champion-Fido used Jiu-Jitsu and ground skills to overcome it. However, if Fido is not necessarily his opponent in the actual fight on the street, you must understand that there are Gloves do not wear shoes, there are rules, and referee protection. The fighting training in the army gave Mirko more practical fighting experience, which is not comparable in fighting games.

In many national military and police fighting training, Jeet Kune Do is a necessary subject. This is not because of how brilliant Jeet Kune Do is, but because of its philosophy.

However, this is contrary to our unobstructed fighting and fighting spirit-"If you kill, the best way is to use a gun. The purpose of fighting is to push your physical and mental strength to the limit."

If Bruce Lee's kung fu is played in today's fighting world, can he still be the king?

As for Bruce Lee’s fighting skills, there are many legends. The stories about Bruce Lee’s victory over Muay Thai are rumors of some dragon fans. As for defeating Lawless in a karate tournament, it may be a misrepresentation. It should be Lee performing in the competition. Guests. But let’s take a look at how this article (Xu Jiajie, Chief of the Technical Committee of the World Muay Thai Federation) compares Bruce Lee with the top Muay Thai masters of his contemporaries (the original title is "Technical Comparison of Bruce Lee, Yapil and Naifo," Which is stronger and weaker?", originally published in "Chinese Martial Arts". (You can find this article on Baidu)

This article is at least a side affirmation of Bruce Lee's fighting ability by experts. But I think that the analysis in the article is based on the rules of Muay Thai. If it is based on the rules of mixed martial arts or irregular street fighting, Bruce Lee must be better than those Muay Thai kings of the same level.

Some people say: Bruce Lee is just a "actor".

They may have only watched Bruce Lee's movies and don't understand everything about Li. Moreover, the feudal concept of "actress" itself seems to be a deep-rooted expression of disrespect to people.

Many people now compare Bruce Lee with Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and Donnie Yen. Most movie lovers may prefer Donnie Yen’s handsomeness, Jet Li’s fancy fighting moves and Jackie Chan’s unique humor. Perhaps most people don’t remember anything about Bruce Lee. .

This is not only incomparable but also very funny. This classification is problematic. Li and the other three are not the same. It’s just that too many people don’t understand Bruce Lee.

It can be said that Bruce Lee is an actor, nothing wrong. But it is not an exaggeration to say that Bruce Lee is to kung fu movies what Charlie Chaplin is to comedies and Hitchcock is to suspense movies. He added a word: "Kung Fu" to foreigners' dictionaries, and at the same time allowed Chinese Kung Fu to truly go to the world.

Speaking of kung fu movies, I have to talk about Tony Jia, a Thai who is very popular now. His fighting scenes in "Looking for Buddha" and "Tom Yum Kung" are very brilliant, and his personal physical fitness is also very outstanding. He is explosive and flexible. Sex and coordination are impeccable. But movies are always movies, an art of performance, not real fighting, and it is fundamentally different from actual combat. In a real Muay Thai competition, no one will have an somersault and then retake the kick. In actual combat, no one will dare to take fancy moves as a highlight. Everyone only looks at the result.

If Bruce Lee's kung fu is played in today's fighting world, can he still be the king?

Real Muay Thai is not like this. Take a look at the matches of top Muay Thai fighters, such as the K-1 lightweight champion-Thai Buakaw. The techniques he uses are all seemingly plain and simple and practical moves. KO opponents: sweeping kicks and positive Strike, but the simpler the move, the more it contains superb technique, which is the so-called clumsy.

"The inability is the law, and the infinity is the finite."-This is the philosophy of Bruce Lee Jeet Kune Do, and it is also the highest state of martial arts that is often said in martial arts novels-"There is no move to win, there is a move." Practice, change all the actions into your own subconscious reflection, and not be restricted by various specific moves, so that you can play freely and unrestrainedly, so that you can achieve true no-stroke and win-win.

The karate champion Chuck Lawris (three-time international karate champion) from the 1960s to the 1970s, Joe Lewis (he had successfully defended the heavyweight champion ten times, and was hailed as the "Muhammad Ali of karate" in the martial arts world. He is the ancestor of freestyle karate), who have all learned martial arts from Bruce Lee. Although there are several theories, some say that Luo Lishi denied that he was a disciple of Li after Li's death, but was just a martial artist who learned and learned from.

As for whether it is a master-disciple relationship, we don’t care for the time being, but everyone can think about it. If Bruce Lee is really just an inexperienced fighting skill, as some people say, why these fighting champions would learn and learn from him, an action actor who only acts. Learn? At that time, there was no MMA, K-1, and karate champions were already considered to be pivotal figures in the fighting world-even though the matches at that time were far less popular than boxing matches, and their popularity was not as high as boxing champion Ali.

This is like saying that the current fighting champions-Fido, Mirko, Andy Hager, Peter Azs, Remy Benjaski and others, might go to Jet Li, Jackie Chan or Tony Jia. To learn and compare fighting techniques?

As far as I know, Fido, the MMA champion who was born in Sambo (Russian wrestling), competed with K-1 four-time champion Ernest Huster and learned standing skills (mainly for Mirko and Ernes Te Huste had two wins against Mirko in K-1). On the contrary, Mirko, who was born in standing combat, hired a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu expert to train ground skills and joint skills.

"I dare not say that I am No. 1 in the world, but I do not admit that I am No. 2" what does this sentence mean?

Many people think that Bruce Lee’s words are too arrogant and arrogant. They ignore all the warriors and fighting athletes in the world and think that they are invincible, so they come to curse Bruce Lee for bragging about himself.

In fact, this sentence is a philosophical inspirational quote from Bruce Lee. He is a famous saying based on the integration of philosophical dialectical thinking and western success theory. So don't criticize this sentence. We can take this sentence as our motto for our continuous pursuit of surpassing ourselves.

A true warrior will not be too arrogant and ignore all useful things, but he will not lack the heart to fight for hegemony and think that he is worse than others.

If Bruce Lee's kung fu is played in today's fighting world, can he still be the king?

This sentence does not specifically refer to fighting or fighting, but a life philosophy.

"First in the world" and "Second" do not specifically refer to ranking first or second. Bruce Lee studied philosophy at university. Philosophy emphasizes the dialectical unity of one and two sides. For example, yin and yang, pros and cons, good and bad, upper and lower, etc. are all relatively dialectical. The "first" and "second" in Bruce Lee's sentence can be understood as the best and worst relative concepts. Because the "first is relative to the second, the second is relative to the first" in this one.

So this can be understood as I dare not say that I am the best but I do not admit that I am the worst, or it can be understood that I dare not say that I am the best but never admit that I am bad. In addition, Bruce Lee believes in the study of success. The study of success tells everyone that everyone is born for success. The study of success tells people to look for confidence and not set limits on themselves. Successology also tells people that the energy that God gives you can accomplish enough of your dreams, so everyone can tell themselves "I am the best" at any time.

This sentence can also be understood as there is no best, only better.

So he would never say that he was the best, but he would never admit that he was bad. He has the ability to think so because he is constantly challenging himself to surpass himself at the last moment. His life has used practice to tell us: In fact, a person's deep expectations can not only create his own opportunities, but also create his own genius.

There is no best, only better. This is not only used in athletics and martial arts, but also in all other fields. People always grow stronger on the basis of surpassing their predecessors and challenging themselves.

But at least it's not as some people understand that Li boasted that he was invincible. Use this as a reason to attack and abuse Bruce Lee.

As for Li when he said whether he was good or not, he had this passage: Someone came to me and asked me: "Li Zhenfan-are you really that good?" I said, "Oh, if I tell you I'm good, maybe You would say that I am bragging. But if I tell you that I am not very good, you must know that I am lying." It is not difficult to see the implicitness of Bruce Lee (Bruce Lee's original name is Li Zhenfan).

Perhaps in the competition arena, Bruce Lee is not as good as the champion of certain fighting events. From a certain perspective, Bruce Lee's achievements are beyond those pure fighters. He is not only a master fighter, but also a master of martial arts, with his own profound thoughts and unique insights. Has a profound influence on the development of the world fighting industry!
