Bruce Lee's Fake Incredible "Feats" ...

Here are some of his "feats" that he has supposedly done:

• 50 reps of one-arm chin-ups
• Held and elevated V-sit position for 30 minutes or longer
• Could cause a 300 pound bag to hit the ceiling when he kicked it with a sidekick
• Could snatch a dime from a person's open palm before they could close it... and leave a penny behind

Do people actually believe these things?

50 reps of one-arm chin-ups is pretty much impossible. From a quick search on Google, it is said that the world record for this feat is 25. I couldn't even find a real record of it from anywhere, but 50 is beyond ridiculous.

Holding an elevated V-sit for 30 minutes or longer? This is an elevated V-sit for people who don't know:

Any gymnast will tell you that you are out of your mind if you think somebody can hold that position for over a half an hour.

Cause a 300 pound heavy bag to hit the ceiling with a sidekick? This one is just so utterly ridiculous that it really doesn't even really require a response.

Snatch a dime from someone's hand before they can close their hand and also leave a penny behind? Does anybody honestly believe this is possible? Was the man blind and 100 years old?

Does anybody here think any of these things could possibly be true?

It's still real to me, dammit!

"Could snatch a dime from a person's open palm before they could close it... and leave a penny behind"

Bet Penn & Teller could do it! Magics!

The strength and discipline to accomplish said feats would have come from practise and training in martial arts......or youtube.

Never even heard of these feats before. Still, he was awesome so whatever.

Regardless, he could still destroy Chuck Norris with one hand tied behind his back and one foot chained to a 250lb weight.British_Azimio

TC is jealous he will never begin to approach Bruce Lee in terms of physical ability.Ace6301

Bruce Lee lifted weights.BMD004

Thats what happens when you're a legend though.

Why is this guy even a legend? All those incredible things he did are fake and the movies are nothing special either... How come Jet Li or Jackie Chan aren't the best martial artists ever? Have you seen their movies, they take on like 30 guys at the same time...

Bruce Lee kicked Chuck Norris into orbit.

Didn't think that Bruce Lee's exaggerated legend was that much of a secret.

Never herad of any of those. I think you made up those accomplishments just to disprove them.

What do you have against Bruce Lee?

Ive always thought Bruce Lee to be an exaggerated person. He was good,strong,fast no doubt..

"It was at the 1964 championships where Lee first metTaekwondomasterJhoon Goo Rhee. The two developed a friendship? a relationship from which they benefited as martial artists. Rhee taught Lee theside kickin detail, and Lee taught Rhee the "non-telegraphic" punch

Doesn't seem like a very fair swap.

None of those seem humanely possible.

Why are you hating on Bruce man?m25105

The fact that he ran 5 miles in 25 minutes every morning is impressive enough to me. Not even mentioning all the incredible things we know he did.lo_Pine

There's another one. Apparently Bruce Lee can come back to the grave and bang my head against the wedlqwebfiqwbfiqjwblkqjwblfkqjwbiygqweuofbqelhbfqwqwqflqfihfq.fqlfqfrqekqkewfoiewflefriewlhef

I always wondered how bruce would have done if he was around for UFC 1, think he could have KOd royce?

How dare you, scum. Ever bad mouth the almighty Bruce Lee again and watch what happens.

Bruce did train some on the ground game... but not even close to enough to stop Royce Gracie from having his way with him on the ground. The next question you have to ask is "could Royce get him down?" And my answer is "yes... without question". Somebody who is green at stopping takedowns is going to have a hard time. Hell, Royce even took down Ken Shamrock at UFC 1 (he actually pulled guard), who was well over 200 pounds and is a ground fighter himself. This is nothing against Bruce as a martial artist... this is me trying to honestly assess how a fight would go between Bruce and Royce. The general rule is that if one fighter has basically NO ground game, and the other fighter is a ground specialist, then fighter A can do nothing to stop the fight from going to the ground, and the fight will end soon after.

you really don't like Bruce do you or maybe just martial arts in general, you always make threads hating on kung fu. Shame on you

Some of the ridiculous "facts" about Bruce Lee make other very respectable martial artists seem inferior. It isn't fair to them, and it isn't fair to martial arts as a whole. I love martial arts, which is why I like to separate myth from reality and try to bring people back down to earth.

It isn't Bruce's fault. It is fans and people spreading rumors which have come to be known as "fact". I dispell the myths about Bruce Lee, and don't discredit Bruce as a martial artist.
