“Absorb what is useful. Discard what is not. Add what is uniquely your own”
- Bruce Lee
ENTER THE DRAGON
Bruce Lee Jun Fan Yuen Kam was born in the year of the dragon, 1940, and at the hour of the dragon, between 6 and 8 AM.
LITTLE KNOWN FACT
Bruce’s ancestry was Chinese and German. His father was Chinese while his mother was of German-Chinese decent. Her mother was Chinese and her father was German.
WAY OF THE INTERCEPTING FIST
Jeet Kune Do, also known as Way of the Intercepting Fist, was Bruce Lee’s personal martial art style. He developed it with the idea of being more flexible and practical with martial arts techniques. In doing so, he commonly considered the greatest martial artist of the 20th century.
A WARRIOR’S JOURNEY
His Jeet Kune Do instruction was a premium in the highest demand and commanded a staggering $275 an hour. His students consisted of some of Hollywood’s most elite, including Kareem Abdul-Jabar, Steve McQueen, James Coburn, Joe Lewis and Chuck Norris.
LAST MAN STANDING
In many ways his celebrity gave him a parallel to the characters he portrayed as he was contantly being challenged by movie extras and other men who could get near him seeking to gain fame by beating him in a fight. Many tried, but he was never beaten.
GAME OF DEATH
His last film was “Game of Death” and was his only film to be shot with sound. His earlier films were shot without sound and the voices were later dubbed in.
NUNCHAKU
Nunchaku were Bruce Lee’s hand weapon of choice and when wielding a pair he was an undefeatable force. He developed his legendary routine under the instruction of karate master Hidehiko “Hidy” Ochiai. The two men first met at the Los Angeles YMCA in the mid-1960’s.
FISTS OF FURY
Bruce Lee’s ultimate secret was his lightning quick speed. To demonstrate he developed a trick where he had a person hold a coin and close his hand around the coin, but before they could do so Bruce would quickly remove the coin and replace it with another most often without the participate even realizing what had happened. When they opened their hand, it would be the new coin.
THE CURSE
As most know, Bruce Lee’s death was deemed to be extraordinarily bizarre. Motivating many to be belove it was the work of “Oni”, a Japanese term for demons or evil spirits. This curse apparently carried on to his actor son, Brandon Lee.
MISSION IMPOSSIBLE
During an interview, composer Lalo Schifrin revealed that Bruce often trained to the “Mission Impossible” TV Show soundtrack.
SILENT BUT DEADLY
Another claim to fame was Bruce mastered a technique called, “The One Inch Punch”. With it he could deliver a devastating body punch just with his fist just a mere inch from his target.
ELVIS & BRUCE
Elvis Presley and Ed Parker had a pet project film they were constructing in 1973 and 1974, but then suddenly it was forgotten until 2003 when the footage resurfaced. The film is basically groups of martial arts experts going at it. The cast reads like a ‘who’s who’ of the martial arts world of the time and although he is not featured in the film, 20 minutes of never-before-seen footage of Bruce Lee was also discovered with this lost footage.
THE DRAGON
When he passed away on July 20, 1973 Bruce Lee was only 32 years old was 5′7″ and weighed 128 pounds. He might have been small in stature but was one of the all time greatest film stars and the most accomplished martial artist in modern history.

Identifying the Three Types of MMA Fighters.
This method will work, it will tell you what kind of a fighter you are facing, and help you create a strategy to fight that fighter. However, there is a glaring weakness in the implementation of the method, and, there is a glaring weakness in the fact of the method. Still, it is important to know and be able to use if you are going to develop as a real fighter.
When you face off towards a fighter, fake a punch and watch what happens. Before we analyze what happens, consider the weakness of this movement. A fake is a wasted motion, and while you’re faking he might go real on you.
If the fighter starts to back away, he is a runner. This means that you are going to have to chase him and catch him. You are going to have to develop a strategy which cuts him off, backs him where you want him, and sets him up for the kill.
If the fighter charges you, then he is a jammer, an attacker. This means you are going to have to back him down, or slip him. You are going to have to develop a strategy which negates him, which slips his aggressiveness, and which takes advantage of his tendency to over reach.
If the fighter stands and blocks, then he is a blocker. This means he is not going anywhere, and you are going to have to penetrate him. You are going to have to develop a strategy which penetrate his defense, which interchanges darting with overwhelming, or whatever else it takes to defeat him.
These three things are excellent for establishing a structure within the chaos of combat, and highly usable. However, the glaring weakness of the method became apparent to me the first time somebody tried to use it on me. The fellow faked, and I moved in response, but did not flee or charge, merely duplicated his motion such as it was.
I knew it wasn’t real, and I was interested in matching my opponent, mirroring his actions, and finding a real time solution. Checking a response is not in real time, it is in fake time. Thus, this method falls apart when somebody is not reacting, but letting The True Art move him and detail his responses.
Al Case has examined the martial arts 4O+ years. You can see him make The True Art work, and see first hand what he is talking about in this article, at Blinding Steel. A Free ebook is available at Monster Martial Arts.
