The guy looking on; world champion Jim Kelly, says in his KZread interview, that, in his opinion, Bruce was THE greatest martial artist ever. He said he was absolutely unbelievable to watch and was untouchable when sparring with any opponent, including the legendary world champions of his day and from any weight devision; including lightweights to heavyweights. I can fully understand their ripping jealousy of the fighting freak that is the legend called Bruce Lee. These 2 have put in so much effort throughout their careers to become the champions they were, yet every time someone asks them a question, guaranteed it's about how good was Bruce...it must REALLY get to you after a while and when you're a proud champion with ego...

His confidence and wit were dazzling, and sometimes even debilitating to others... Lee was lightning fast, very agile and incredibly strong for his size.” (Black Belt Magazine) Chuck Norris also recounted that he thought Bruce Lee would have been the undisputed world champion if he ever fought professionally. So it is very clear that Chuck still has great respect for his friend and the impression that Bruce made on Norris still lasts to this day. Bruce would go on to become an icon to millions around the world as his martial arts movies completely redefined the genre and captured the imagination of old and young alike.

Look, I'm a white guy who is a novice at Boxing, Wrestling, and MMA but have tremendous respect for the pros and legends of combat fighting. So, to hear anybody including those who acted with or sparred with Bruce Lee think that they would have a chance to beat Bruce Lee in an actual fight is blasphemous. Really? I don't think so. Bruce Lee was one of a kind and in a league of his own. We're talking about the Father of MMA. How dare anybody think they could compete with him in a combat situation. Please. The amount of time, energy, knowledge, and practice Bruce Lee put into the creation of Jeet Kune Do is astronomical and unbelievable. Nothing compares to it. Let's not forget the supreme physical condition Bruce Lee was in as well. This only made his execution of Jeet Kune Do even more impressive. He basically took combat fighting to a whole new level which I don't believe will ever be surpassed. So, for all the practitioners or former fighters, just embrace the fact that Bruce Lee was the best and learn from him and thank God we were blessed by the many contributions Bruce Lee gave to the world.

Lewis: 'bobs thinkin i could kill a legend here.' Also lewis: 'lee was not a fighter.' Also lewis: 'nobody could do lees moves because he was so fast.' Also lewis: 'lee hit like a heavyweight.' Also lewis: trained under lee for some time. So lewis was a legendary heavyweight fighter who saw value in training with a 130 lb non-fighter who was as strong as, and faster than, himself, and whom he doesnt even think could beat a nobody like bob wall.

I love Joe Lewis, but taking Wall seriously , only confirms to me, he is regretful of not taking the role of Colt, in return of the dragon, because he wanted it to be a draw with Bruce, what a mistake that ever was, and because Chuck Norris wasn't so prideful, and took that role, it catapulted him into stardom, and he did it his way, and not trying to be Bruce, and now his net worth is 70 million, good for Carlos Ray Norris, his birth name.

Joe Lewis could have been a star had he taken the part in Way of The Dragon instead of passing and letting Chuck Norris have it. Instead, he ended up in Carolina Beach, NC and visited my martial arts school in Wilmington several times. I also ran into him buying a box of chicken at the local Bojangles here. He also did a demonstration at a local park where he fought a local fighter to what was at best a draw. I was there and remember Joe receiving a beautiful upper cut to the face. The couple of times I met and talked to Joe, he was nice enough. Hell, the first time he came in the school where I was training, I didnt know who he was. Had he been in WOTD, I'd have known for sure who he was. This was back in 1990 or 1991.

He did not hire them as you mentioned and it is true that Rockne Tarkington was originally cast as Williams but the way that Jim Kelly was selected for the part was upon the recommendations of both Mr. Ed Parker of Kempo Karate fame and one of Mr. Parker's black belt instructor's during that time, Mr. Steve Saunders who is known now as Grandmaster Steve Muhammad who was the karate Instructor in the scene showing him and Kelly shaking hands in the Dojo before leaving. Bruce attended a number of tournaments where Mr. Saunders had competed and mentioned that he had very fast hand techniques of which Mr. Saunders appreciated this complement quite a bit as he has mentioned this in a couple of videos here on KZread.

I ve met all these guys over the years. They rode the post Bruce Lee gravy train for all it was worth and they were still broke. All three tried the movies and never got traction the way Bruce did. Bruce had charisma , the camera loved him, and was a great self-marketer. Joe was Mr. California in a gi. Bruce learned physique aesthetics from Joe but took it to the next level with "persona" Joe lacked because his look didn't translate. Bruce tolerated Bob because of his relationship with Chuck Norris. And he could really "sell" a punch better than Chuck. That was it. Bruce's time with Lewis was purely commercial and broke down...over a woman. Joe's wife who was prejudice. Lee had nothing else to say to the man. Bob Wall did not hire Jim Kelly for ETD. Fred Weintraub did at the absolute last minute. Bob was the stunt coordinator for "Black Belt Jones" which Kelly had no control over. Jim was neither here nor there but he did have a chip. Jim Kelly took a lot of abuse on the Enter the Dragon as a rookie in the business but had a significant role and watched it get dismantled by Saxon's perks which Bruce avoided because he had his own problems with a studio who rejected him flat for the TV series"kung fu" and rubbed his face in it. His apology was a three picture deal which Lee indirectly pushed on ETD because he saw his potential. Thats why Lee let him do his own fight scenes while Bob had "no chance" as Oharra. These guys were supposed to be the beacon of polished behavior and respect for departed colleagues. Its a disservice to the man who put them on the next level. You see now why they didn't stay long.

No, sorry to say, he passed away, 2013 at age 65, leaving behind 4 sons and 2 daughters , as well as my uncle Ed Parker, passed away 1990, at age 59, just arriving from California, coming back to Honolulu, of a massive heart attack. And I spoke to him, just a few months prior to his passing, I was a valet at the willows restaurant, and he was there, and I think it was a celebration of his latest book that he authored, and I have a few of his books, and I was excited to see his new book, but he said it's not martial arts, it's a family genealogy book, Roots & branches of Arthur Kapewaokeao Waipa Parker & Eva Margaret Vierra: which are his parents, he was more proud of this book, over all his martial arts books, that he wrote, he explained about how much royal blood that we have, I knew that cause my dad always told me, we are directly related to King Kamehameha the great, thru his granddaughter, Kipikane who married Ebenezer Parker, but he told me , but, did you know the Waipa lineage, was of higher royalty than Kamehameha, so we went thru his newly published book, and me and my family, was on page 100, so we hugged , and greeted one another, that was the first time that I ever met him , of course, I asked about Bruce Lee, and he said, cocky and arrogant, but he could back it up, said Bruce , was super fast, and deceptively powerful, probably the skill set ever seen, then 5 months later , he dies, after getting off of his flight from California, at the Honolulu Airport, that made me so sick , cause he wanted to come back and talk story, yeah, that was a shocking time for me, there was so much, I wanted to learn from him. And as far as my cousin goes, at first me and my brothers, had a hard time believing him, about training a bit with the great Bruce Lee, then one day, he shows us this personal invitation to Bruce Lee's funeral, but he and my oldest brother had trained under the same professor, both we in the military, and they both trained the green beret, they both went their separate was, but both ended up back home in Hawaii, and they both had great respect for one another, my brother was my instructor, and he was a true martial artist, he always taught us, the best fight is not to fight, he was truly a humble man, even till now, at age 75, my brother trains, punching bag, and I seen him destroy 2 big dudes in a fight, and to be honest, he did his absolute best, to not fight, seriously, he let the guy punch him in the face, took the shot, told the guy you win, and proceeded to walk to his car, then the hit him from behind, and still tried to walk away, and the dude fired one more shot, in which my brother blocked, in the same breath, hit the guy with an open palm strike, dropping this 6'5 280 pound man, later, my brother found out the next, the dude went to the hospital, 4 broken ribs, for real.

According to everyone who was there and confirmed by Dan Inosanto, Lee only did prearranged and very limited sparring drills with Lewis and the other point sparring competitors that he trained with. John Little is the con artist who created a bullshido training method that was supposed to give maximum strength and size gains by doing one fifteen minute workout per month. Obviously, no one ever saw anywhere near the results that con man promised with his pseudoscience behind his “static contraction training.” So, you have the “word” of a proven con man who was never there against all the people who were there. And once again, not only has this been the consistent account of Lewis, Stone and Norris, but also confirmed by Dan Inosanto in a joint interview with Lewis.

Bruce Lee was only an actor with zero real fight wins. Bob Wall and Chuck Norris were only sof points fighters. George Foreman could beat all 3 of them together with one arm behind his back. None of those fake fighters could take real hits to their heads or bodies. Muhammad Ali was a real professional fighter who fought won the Heavyweight Boxing Championship of the World in real fights in Martial Arts in full contact. Muhammad Ali simply the Greatest!

Exactly! That short video clip was Bruce practicing his bursting sidekick for that scene; and look how Bob handled it, even though he knew it was coming. Most of those still photos were snapped after Bruce already nailed him as the shutter went off! Look at the stills of Bruce fighting one of the stuntmen and see.

I trained with Karate Champion Bob Burbidge who not only trained with Bob Wall, Chuck Norris, Joe Lewis and Mike Stone, yet right before Bruce Lee died he was saving up money so he could study with Bruce Lee. (Which never happened because of Bruce Less untimely death) So why would a Karate Champion who had trained with all these Martial Artists want to train with Bruce Lee if some of them were better? They were not. Each had their strengths, but pound for pound power and strength, quickness and overall knowledge Bruce was on top. Chuck Norris was a great tournament fighter, one of the best Burbidge had ever seen. But the quickness and overall knowledge difference between them is obvious. Joe helped bring out kickboxing and was very good, especially after training with Bruce and was in great shape and could wrestle too, but Joe was as cocky as Bruce when he was younger. His cockyness almost got me in a fight with him at a tournament I went to just watch. Bob Tells big tales to magnify himself, but he was a decent tournament fighter who could wrestle pretty good because of training with Gene LeBell. He is trying to remain relavent.

I have met and sparred with several Karate men, but Bruce has been the only one who has baffled me completely. I am completely in awe when I fight with him. I’ve never seen anyone like him!"- Louis Delgado 1969 Black Belt Magazine interview. Delgado was the last man to defeat Chuck Norris in a Karate Championship in 1968.

I know, because he knocked me under Sharon Tate’s barstool at Columbia Pictures in 1968." - Skipper Mullins, rated as the number one fighter in 1966 by Black Belt magazine (i.e rated superior to Chuck Norris) and included in Black Belt Magazine’s "Best all-time 10 Fighters" in 1987. "I would have picked Bruce in any street situation. He had the knowledge and attitude to carry him through anything." - Skipper Mullins. "I fought the best, I trained with the best... There's never been anybody in my opinion like Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee was unbelievable.... I know who Bruce Lee sparred with, I know. They won't tell you but I know the people he sparred with...

Chuck Norris said this and Danny Inosanto who was Bruce's assistant instructor at the time stated that Bruce had mentioned to him at one point that he considered both Mike Stone and Joe Lewis as "fighters" but Norris as a good "tag technician" when the 3 of them were training with Bruce but would not admit (except Lewis) that because of Bruce's instruction they began to win competitions much more frequently because at the time, this was when karate matches were nothing more than "point competitions" to see how close you could come to your opponent without actually causing physical injury with a supposedly "incapacitating blow" with either foot or fist.

He referred to him as "Peter Bennet") for their roles in ETD. How does he have the authority to hire when Bruce hired HIM. Fred Weintraub and Robert Clouse hired Jim Kelly when the original actor cast to play Williams (Rockne Tarkington) dropped out at the last minute. Archer was a successful karate champion in Hong Kong. During a tournament, Bruce Lee approached him after watching Archer fight. "Would you like to be in my film?", Bruce asked. "Sure," Peter responded, "What as?" "Not sure," Bruce replied, "I'll write something in for you." The Backstabber had NOTHING to do with the hiring process on any of Bruce's movies.

What's so funny is all the videos of these guys in the past talking about how amazing Bruce really was, and many of them sparred with him, and stated he was beyond reality. Problem is, Bob Wall is under the teachings of Chuck Norris, and as an honor thing, you uphold your teachings above anything else. Just like Chuck himself, he'll always say " Bruce was very good, but he never competed like me", because he doesn't want to lessen himself, but there are plenty of interviews from the past where Chuck said how unreal he was, and when they trained together Bruce could pick up any new move and perfect it in weeks opposed to what would take someone years. You're not going to have Grandmasters out there admitting to getting dropped on their ass during sparring with Bruce if it wasn't true, and if you research it, you'll find the interviews, a few have said it. Just because Bruce didn't compete, doesn't mean he couldn't fight, it meant he didn't want to be restrained, because that's not really a true fight.

This was a lunch break warm up. The touch foot from a side kick is difficult to block for two reasons. The delivery is so straight line precise, it leaves nothing for your peripheral vision to pick up so your cue to retreat is too late. You can never move back fast enough. Secondly, the kicker has mastered closing the gap faster than you can move back. Try side stepping or angle off and deflect as opposed to a straight line retreat. Sounds like trying to escape an alligator by running straight away. Without zig zagging, it will catch you every time.

Bob Wall at the time was the only guy tough enough to do that "fake kick" that threw him across the floor that's why everyone thought Bruce was trying to kill him. Seriously if that kick landed as an actual kick it wouldn't be good for Bob.

Bob talking bs here having no idea that after this Anna Capri's footage would come out exposing that rather than blocking the kick, he in fact got hit with all of them. Bruce had him stepping out of range yet still caught him every single time on the chest. Showed how fast Bruce could close the range.

Moreover, he said that he knew how Bruce Lee and his Jeet Kune Do were Effective since Bruce Lee 'popped him' with it.

Look...I knew both these guys and Jim Kelly in the background. Thay ALL should be shamed of themselves. This is nothing but a casual rehearsal during lunch ! Bob Wall. He would sell you a used car with two flats and say it was a Cadillac. Teir 3 black belt who hung out with Chuck Norris and Skipper Mullins. He was the Desk jockey for Chuck's dojo and crash dummy for Joe during the 60's nightclub act years when Joe and Mike Stone and Chuck were all trying to break into movies. They tried Steve McQueen and Robert Culp . They both said go to that chinese guy who knows Blake Edwards and Phil Karson. See if he gives you a shot. That guy was Lee and Lee put them all in a movie called "The Wrecking Crew"' as fight extras. Chuck had one line. That was their shot at movies given their champion background. Lee owed them nothing yet he put them in front of the camera to be noticed and Hollywood wasn't interested. Why ? No charisma from any of them. The camera didn't like any of them. They weren't actors. They didn't emote. Nothing. lee was the opposite. Lee was their boss. They never got over that! None of them. You would think they were grateful. Especially Bob. They weren't. lollipop in one hand. Knife in the other.

Rip Bob

I’m. Not a subscriber to ‘Bruce Lee was an invincible street fighter’ BUT Bruce Lee technique wise and training methodology wise was ahead of his time….and to see two guys who are good martial artists i their own right downplay Lee after he is gone really rubs me the wrong way…because let’s face it… would the casual fan even know who the hell these guys even are of not for their association with Lee? And to here them gaslight him really rubs me the wrong way.

The audio is garbage. Don't waste your time.

Fighting in MMA doesn't prove that you are good martial artist.... It's just that you people fight to get the money... and some of us don't... We understand that ,that martial arts is not fighting in the ring but it's to overcome the challenges of the real world....

They were afraid of Bruce once they learned of what he can do! That's why, they stood around like the students! You can clearly see who,is the teacher! And that says it all! They are still not humble!

Bruce would destroy both of these haters.

Someone please tell me why Bruce lee didnt just plop down a couple of dollars and enter a karate tournament back in the day? This could have ended alot of debate. Legendary fighter Jim Harrison claims Lee could have been a champion but also that he had trouble with some guys ( Skipper Mullins Pat Burleson?, I cant remember what he said in interview) in sparring sessions....I also recall one of the old time karate guys ( cant remember again) in an interview in 2000's british film magazine "hot dog" saying alot of guys in the 60's wanted to "get that little rice picker on the mat" or something like that. If Lee was so good he could have embarrassed all these guys and probably never had to go to asia to kickstart his film career.

He says he hired Jim ? WTF ?

Lee would destroy Wall 4 real. No disrespect. Its not a accident all these guys drifted to him.

COMPARING BRUCE LEE WITH BOB WALL THERE IS NO COMPARISON. LEE OUT-CLASSED HIM IN EVERY CATEGORY. ALL BOB WALL DID WAS RUN BACK. HE RAN FROM LEE THAT IS NOT SPARRING. I WOULD RUN FROM LEE TOO. I KNOW IF I TOUCHED HANDS I WOULD BE FINISHED. I WOULD RUN!

bob has talked shit about bruce countless times over the years. lets admit once and for all some of these guys were good especially joe who would destroy jealous bob wall here but be it joe lewis, the legend in his own mind point stop boy chuck norris or even predictable bill wallace BRUCE LEE WAS THE GOAT, THE DOM< MR BIG< HEAD HONCHO, DONT EVER FORGET THAT.

ps even benny the jet would throw down his gloves and say screw that. id rather a cup of tea n slice of cake.

It's easy to talk shit when the guy you are criticizing is not there. I bet these two guys didn't get bold when he was in front of them, and that was a time when those guys were pretty much at their peak young & confident. Plus I noticed you don't see any contact in these photos it was obviously not a sparring match just practicing for a scene. If Bruce wasn't so great why did they want to learn from him.. I believe what Jim Kelly said he new who Bruce Lee sparred with but out of respect of their shortcomings against Bruce he doesn't mention their names. These two were most likely on the list. And one of them " Joe Lewis" was still alive when Jim Kelly stated this in an interview that Bruce was pretty much untouchable. 🤜🤛👊👊

It's ludicrous to think that Bruce couldn't fight because he didn't enter any ring officially. It's like saying trained soldiers can't fight because they only do hand to hand combat in war situations but not in a ring. With gloves on and rules and a referee!!! Fighting without gloves on gives you much more freedom in striking places on the body say both sides of the neck. Or eye gauging with the fingers or the throat area or pressure points on the body. Or in execution of armlocks by grabbing the hands.Things that Bruce excelled in. There was a reason that all the big names were in awe of Bruce at that time. It doesn't matter if Bruce could have made it as a ring fighter and being the best in his weight division. Martial arts was His way of Life. He feared No One. As his student James Demille claims in his videos. If you are fearless that means you are either very dumb,which Bruce wasn't or you are very confident about your skills. Bruce was proficient in martial arts because he executed with perfection. That is who Bruce Lee was

He had no part in hiring jim Kelly.

He said he hired half the cast of ETD 😅😅😅

So not sparring, luckily for Bob.
