What type of training did Bruce Lee have?

Question

what form or forms of martial arts was he trained in?

Answer 1

Lights, Camera, Action.

A whole lot of hype and nothing to back it up.

Let's face the truth. He was an actor.


Bluto hit the nail on the head his time.

Answer 2

Bruce's main martial arts training was wing chun, of course. however he did learn many other arts like other family kung fu styles, western boxing, and fencing. Bruce did not believe that you had to learn from a master so in addition to those arts he learned he also studied through many books and trial and error. He also "created" Jeet Kune Do but this IS NOT AN ARTyou must study Bruce Lee's philosophies to truly understand the concept he was trying to convey. this was Bruce Lee's own personal expression of the martial arts and the only thing you should learn from this is that you should express yourself personally through martial arts and not label it.

Answer 3

He originally was trained in Wing Chun by the branch led by Yip Man. he then studied as many of the other fighting disciplines (Western Boxing, Greco-Roman Wrestling, Karate, etc.) and found his own methods to form his hybrid Martial Art of Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do.

Answer 4

He was taught Wing Chun Kung fu and created Jeet Kune Do (Form without form) because he felt tradional styles of the day were to restrictive. He is basically one of the founding fathers of MMA. Taking aspects from many styles of fighting, boxing, Kung fu, Karate, he created his own technique the way of the intercepting fist. Its not officially a style, he took the best of what he could learn and mixed it all together to make it work best for him

None of us are built the same way so we cannot all be trained robots as some schools would like. A real good Black Belt will always keep their mind open to learn new things from any fighter or style and technique. You never stop learning and that was his point.

Answer 5

Fruits, Bananas, Nuts, Lean White Meats, and whole Grains are very good for you. I do not know what Bruce Lee specifically ate, but I imagine it included these and many other foods. You can reference food lists like the one in the link below to find out more specific foods Stay away from anything processed, and avoid all fast food places. Don't keep any candies or sweets in the house to avoid temptation. If you must have something sweet, I like to have greek yogurt with fruits mixed in. If you have the money, and are really committing to eating better for training benefits, or whatever reason, you may consider seeking out a dietitian

Answer 6

Bruce Lee took Wing Chun. He didn't invite any style. He was specifically quoted as saying that he DID NOT want Jeet Kune Do to be considered a style, or something of his creation. More or less, he taught principles of fighting rather than an actual style.

As to his skill level: there are very few RECORDED tapes of sparring matches or fights he has been in. However, there are reocrded accounts of many challenges that he has accepted/made in his honor and to test his skill. he has been very victorious in all of these challenges. Beating his opponent quickly. Frustrated over how slow his victories seemed to him, he began his evolution of his skills. This resulted in the culmination of JKD.

No one can really expect there to be recorded fights of every single martial artists. Real fights aren't exhibitions. I seriously think that his fame goes beyond the media, and is truly reflective of his ability.

Answer 7

18 months of wing chun or (___ing ___un to satisfy the lineage freaks) training.

He mimicked muhammad ali and took ideas from other arts.

He was in great physical shape which is what is likely the key reason why he was any good. There is debate as to his actual level of skill because there are no fight records, no actual video of him sparring outside of one short clip. All people formulate thier opinions on are generally the media and movies and 3rd or 4th or worse information.

Unfortunately given the actual facts surrounding it and lack of information we will probably be able to prove the existance or non existance of god before we have anything concrete on the actual skill level bruce lee really was. People promote him to support thier image and make money, and people **** on him to support thier image as well. We really will never know.

Answer 8

He learned Wing Chun Kung Fu under Yip Man. Then he studied many other styles, boxing, fencing, grappling, etc... but to a lesser extent.

Answer 9

He practiced Jeet Kune Do. He is the inventor of this "form." Calling it a form or style is almost backwards, because it tries NOT to be a form or style.

Answer 10

i've gotta say i've never heard anyone say bruce lee mimicked mahumuda lee(i know its spelt wrong)and ive definately never heard anyone stupid enough to agree.
