Bruce Lee - Closest We'll Ever Get to a Superhuman


Recommended Posts

[align=center]Yep. Bruce Lee. He's like, totally pro. Some stuff what he can do is below; from Wikipedia.

 

Lee's striking speed from three feet with his hands down by his side reached five hundredths of a second.

• Lee's combat movements could become too fast to be captured on film using the traditional 24 frames per second, so scenes were shot in 32 frames per second for better clarity.

• Lee could snatch a dime off a person's open palm before they could close it and leave a penny behind.

• Lee could hold an elevated v-sit position for at least 30 minutes.

Lee could throw grains of rice up into the air and then catch them in mid-flight using chopsticks.

• Lee could thrust his fingers through unopened cans of Coca-Cola. (This was during the time when soda cans were made of steel and not aluminum).

• Lee performed one-hand push-ups using only the thumb and index finger.

• Lee performed 50 reps of one-arm chin-ups.

Lee could break wooden boards 6 inches (15 cm) thick.

• Lee could cause a 200-lb (90.72 kg) bag to fly towards and thump the ceiling with a sidekick.

• Lee performed a sidekick while training and broke a 150 lb (68 kg) punching bag.

• Lee could perform leg lifts with only his shoulder blades resting on the edge of a bench and suspend his legs and torso horizontal midair.

Lee owned Chuck Norris in Way of the Dragon.

 

Important points bolded.

 

Discuss Bruce Lee's mad speed and accuracy.

 

Oh yeah. Bruce Lee doesn't dodge bullets. Bullets dodge Bruce Lee. [/satire][/align]

You also forgot that Bruce Lee was too awesome for any existing Martial Art, so he made up his own, which Chuck Norris was a student in, actually.

 

You also forgot that he was the one who pretty much created the kung-fu genre in movie making.

 

Bruce is one of the best, there's no doubt of that.

Could Bruce say things as awesome as these, no he could not.

 

A man who views the world the same at fifty as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life.

A rooster crows only when it sees the light. Put him in the dark and he'll never crow. I have seen the light and I'm crowing.

Muhammad Ali

 

Age is whatever you think it is. You are as old as you think you are.

Muhammad Ali

 

At home I am a nice guy: but I don't want the world to know. Humble people, I've found, don't get very far.

Muhammad Ali

 

Boxing is a lot of white men watching two black men beat each other up.

Muhammad Ali

 

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.

Muhammad Ali

 

Frazier is so ugly that he should donate his face to the US Bureau of Wild Life.

Muhammad Ali

 

Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.

Muhammad Ali

 

Hating people because of their color is wrong. And it doesn't matter which color does the hating. It's just plain wrong.

Muhammad Ali

 

He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.

Muhammad Ali

 

I am the astronaut of boxing. Joe Louis and Dempsey were just jet pilots. I'm in a world of my own.

Muhammad Ali

 

I am the greatest, I said that even before I knew I was.

Muhammad Ali

 

I believe in the religion of Islam. I believe in Allah and peace.

Muhammad Ali

 

I figure I'll be champ for about ten years and then I'll let my brother take over - like the Kennedys down in Washington.

Muhammad Ali

 

I figured that if I said it enough, I would convince the world that I really was the greatest.

Muhammad Ali

 

I hated every minute of training, but I said, "Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion."

Muhammad Ali

 

I know I got it made while the masses of black people are catchin' hell, but as long as they ain't free, I ain't free.

Muhammad Ali

 

I know where I'm going and I know the truth, and I don't have to be what you want me to be. I'm free to be what I want.

Muhammad Ali

 

I never thought of losing, but now that it' s happened, the only thing is to do it right. That's my obligation to all the people who believe in me. We all have to take defeats in life.

Muhammad Ali

 

I wish people would love everybody else the way they love me. It would be a better world.

Muhammad Ali

 

and that's bearly a 3rd of it.

You do know that Muhammad punched faster than Bruce did don't you? Now there both old/dead it's hard to compare but I know for cert that Muhammed punches faster than Bruce does now.

 

Also, the bit about Bruce moving so fast that the films couldn't catch it, that's bull. They sped them up, fact.

Boxing wouldn't work in a real no rules fight. Its a sport, not a fighting style.

So being punched in the head doesn't hurt?

 

I never said that. I said its a completely impractical fighting style in an actual fight. If you believe otherwise, you've been watching too many shounen anime.
