he’s got more going for him than just
his fists of fury welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top ten coolest
things about Bruce Lee oh don’t hit back
for this list we’ve narrowed down the
most interesting facts that made Bruce
Lee stand out from his peers as opposed
to simply listing major fights he had or
successful movies he was involved with
number 10 Bruce Lee was unbeatable the
myth is that Bruce Lee was invincible
and never lost a fight in his life
and in fact the only real proof to the
contrary are tales of fights he lost in
his early teen years growing up in Hong
Kong like when he was jumped beaten and
robbed by a gang of boys Bruce was so
embarrassed and upset he dedicated his
time to training to become a martial
artist and we all know how that worked
out
say wouldn’t that make a great movie
we all have inner demons to fight we
call this demons fear and hatred and
anger
if you don’t conquer them then damn life
a hundred years is a tragedy
number nine Bruce Lee was a dancing pro
not only could Bruce Lee pack a punch
during his fights his dancing shoes
packed a punch all their own he took up
cha-cha dancing after he started taking
wing chun and he entered a contest when
he was just 18 years old
the end result he became the 1958 Hong
Kong cha-cha champion and when he first
travelled to America he made cash by
teaching locals how to dance and of
course his skill on his feet paid
dividends in the martial arts world
number 8 Bruce Lee was too strong for
punching bags for normal puny humans
regular heavy punching bags usually
weigh around 70 pounds each with some
more substantial ones weighing more than
twice that at 150 pounds but for a
fighter like Bruce Lee that was hardly
any weight at all
in fact his strikes were so strong that
he apparently needed his punching bags
to weigh a whopping 300 pounds he also
needed those bags to be full of metal
otherwise the bag would be too easy for
him to kick clean through
number seven Bruce Lee used the vampire
taunt there are reasons why Bruce Lee’s
opponents shouldn’t have let him taste
his own blood why because it made him an
even better fighter well in the middle
of a battle in his film entered the
Dragon he licks the blood from one of
his wounds and uses that as motivation
we guess to whoop his opponent
if anything tasting blood gave Bruce and
even bigger advantage against you than
he already had cuz no one makes him
bleed his own blood number six Bruce Lee
was too fast to film if you told someone
you thought Bruce Lee was superhuman
back in his day it would be hard even
for those who filmed his movies to
disagree with you while filming The
Green Hornet his punches and kicks
turned out to be so fast that he looked
like a blur
because of that his footage needed to be
refilmed at a higher rate so they could
capture his awesomeness on camera there
is a finger jab
there’s the punch there was the
breakfast and then lo of course then
they used lay straight at a gourd or
come up number five Bruce Lee was a
chopstick master even while he was
eating Bruce Lee was showing off his
out-of-this-world skills in fact as a
means of improving the quickness of his
reflexes he would take his chopsticks
throw grains of rice in the air and then
catch the mid-flight as they were coming
down and you thought mr. Miyagi catching
flies with chopsticks and the karate kid
was cold and will catch fly with
chopstick accomplish anything
number four Bruce Lee mastered the
one-inch punch if there’s anything that
should indicate to you just how strong
and focused Bruce Lee was it’s this his
punches were so powerful that he could
land a devastating blow against his
opponents from not even an inch away and
send them flying he was so good at it
that he could even break wooden boards
from that distance and also apparently
taught his punch to inner-city kids but
we’re betting no one has ever pulled it
off quite like Bruce
number three Bruce Lee did two fingered
exercises Bruce’s workout routine was
just as intense as his movies and his
fighting abilities need proof he could
not only do more push-ups and pull-ups
than your average health nut but he
could also do it while barely needing to
use his limbs one-armed pull-ups or two
finger push-ups anyone he also sat in an
elevated V position for upwards of
thirty minutes although you may think
it’s showboating on his part let’s be
honest you’d probably do it too if you
could number two Bruce Lee created jeet
kune do– martial art is become very
fond of the art of expressing the human
body though bruce lee has a reputation
for being one of the best mixed martial
artists of all time he was also a
pioneer of many different aspects of his
craft martial art include all the
combative arts like karate karate judo
Chinese going for Chinese boxing
whatever you call it
one example is his creation of a hybrid
martial arts style listen to the beat
and listen to my translated into English
as the way of the intercepting fist jeet
kune do– combines martial arts with
philosophy and teaches its practitioners
ways to improve their skills as well as
help them discover themselves
sounds badass to us before we unveil our
top pick here are a few honorable
mentions empty your mind be formless
shapeless like water now you put water
into a cup it becomes the cup you put
water into a bottle it becomes the
bottle you put it in a teapot it becomes
the teapot number one Bruce Lee beat
Chuck Norris although Chuck Norris’s
fighting skills are praised and revered
to no end by some even to this day there
was one thing he never quite
accomplished beating Bruce Lee in fact
the complete opposite happened in the
film way of the Dragon Bruce and Chuck
square off for almost ten minutes
though Chuck puts up a good fight at
first he Bruce and a kitten stare each
other down before Bruce takes the
contest when Chuck Norris goes to sleep
he checks the closet for Bruce Lee
