"Bruce at this time (beginning production of Enter The Dragon) was facing pressure from the Hong Kong press, which seemed to be continually probing for weaknesses in Bruce as a person and as an actor: also, he had to deal with a steady stream of challengers who tried to pick fights with him whenever he appeared in public, and even on the sets of his movies."

Did Bruce Lee train with kettlebells?
John Little said he did not...so it's settled, right?

Not exactly — Dan Inosanto told Dr. Mark Cheng that he saw kettlebells mentioned in Bruce's notes, but he never actually saw Bruce with kettlebells.

And then John Saxon told Pavel that one of the first things Bruce showed him when he arrived in Hong Kong was his kettlebell training exercise.

Dr. Mark Cheng interviewed John Saxon, asking if he'd demonstrate what Bruce showed him. It was a kettlebell swing, similar to the hardstyle/squat dominant swing but with a few minor differences.

But there you have it — Bruce Lee WAS training with kettlebells in Hong Kong.

Challenge letter issued to Bruce Lee in November 1971, after several challengers called him out in the newspapers in Hong Kong.

In several cases, when Bruce Lee says he doesn't fear anyone/thinks he can beat anyone, it's in the context of these challengers.

"People always think of Uncle Bruce as an actor first. But he was a philosopher and a martial artist first.If anything, his movies and his writings were all a reflection of his philosophy. They were his ways of expressing himself as a human being."

There's a funny thing about when people "demand to see REAL FIGHT footage of Bruce Lee."
First of all — you can not show a street fight on YouTube. The video will be restricted.

The "Wing Chun vs JKD" video when Sifu Rahsun beat up "Waldo" from 3 years ago? Remember that video? YouTube flagged all those videos and restricted ads on them.

So while a video showing Bruce Lee in a real fight could garner millions of views, the person posting it wouldn't see a single cent, and there's no guarantee that those millions of potential viewers will watch their other content.

Of course, this is all assuming that Bruce Lee recorded "a real fight" in a time when there wasn't WORLDSTAR and everyone walking around with a smartphone in their pocket.

The last point (the most important) is that Bruce kept his fights a secret. Why would he record a REAL fight? At one time, he was paranoid that Yip Man was going to send people to take him out (true story) — why would he have evidence for people to know what he was doing? 🤔

I know there's existing footage of Bruce Lee in private collections, and if that stuff were ever made public? Honestly, the doubters and haters will just deny it as they continue to move the goalpost.

To me, it's just funny. People who haven't even seen real kung-fu know what Bruce Lee could and couldn't do 🤣🤣

Pictures of Bruce Lee from the set of "Fist of the Unicorn."
The number of people in my comments claiming I'm spreading "fake facts" because "Bruce Lee was never in a movie called Fist of the Unicorn" is cracking me up.

One thing I have learned -the more I study Bruce Lee, the less I feel like I know about him... anyway, back to studying. I'm finally recording the deep dive video on Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan later today that I mentioned in a post last week.

I had to take a break to put out that Beerdy response video yesterday: https://youtu.be/duTEkKLGbGE

"Bruce Lee was never challenged. You're as bad as Beerdy with these 'challengers.' Bruce Lee was only an actor. "

This is from the "Breaking News" reporting Bruce Lee's death. It's cool that Lau Tai-Chuen spoke highly of Bruce after everything that happened.

If it were up to Bruce, their fight would have stayed a secret.

Some of the most insightful things I've ever heard about Bruce Lee were said by Nora Miao...kinda makes me wonder about their relationship.

There's a funny sidestory in a really awful Bruce Lee biopic where "Nora" is hired by Golden Harvest to keep Bruce happy even though she can't stand him. He ends up meeting "Betty," and well...you know...but then "Nora" actually catches feelings for Bruce and gets jealous, so she makes arrangements for Linda to come to Hong Kong.

That was probably the worst Bruce Li movie I've ever seen 😳
