To the guys with the ARs and AKs, you are doing it wrong.
Beyond that, I am impressed with the amount of control required to make the hits look real while not striking with sufficient force to seriously injure. Wonder how many bruises and minor contusions were the result of filming this clip.

They got skill no doubt, but it's even easier to look like a bad ass when it's choreographed. I'm not saying I could do any of that, hell I almost threw out my back just watching it.

This is truth. I've done martial arts for the better part of two decades on and off and am actually going to check out a place tomorrow since my schedule is back to normal people's working hours. There have been a handful of times in my life while sparring where things just clicked and it was as if I was reading the mind of the guy I was sparing, blocking and countering strikes before they even had a chance to gain momentum before taking them to the ground.Originally Posted by lunchbox

Impressive gymnastic ability, nice balance and great flexibility. But 99% theatrical flash with no power behind it. He barely moves the bag because he isn't really transferring energy (power) into it. He could actually punch you with significantly more force than those fancy 360 degree walkover / butterfly kicks and that kind of defeats the purpose of doing elaborate moves in the first place.
Call me when he can do this.
As for taking out "airsoft opponents" with a foam kicking shield. I'm pretty sure I took more damage in Junior High pillow fights. The guy also knows absolutely "jack" about using weapons as weapons. Might as well start doing rhythmic gymnastics with a damn ribbon, it would be about as lethal.

Sometimes, I think Lee just might have been an alien. Going to send that pic to my nephews kid who just started JKD.Impressive gymnastic ability, nice balance and great flexibility.

What's worse, is he was doing full body lifts the way other people do leg lifts.Sometimes, I think Lee just might have been an alien. Going to send that pic to my nephews kid who just started JKD.

Yep, his "core" went way beyond the physical...I've had some good teachers/trainers, but imagine just a couple of years spent with him...

I've seen some rare footage (not clips of his movies) of him actually unloading on kicking shields (the hard reinforced ones, not the foam crap) and things like that. He is one of the people I'd least want to be hit by. His ability to cover distance quickly and destroy things was simply amazing. Footage of him going full tilt (not as rare) hands only on the heavy bag is also impressive to watch.
