What is Bruce Lee eating in the Chuck Norris fight?
Asked by Wiki User
What food does Bruce Lee eats?
The answer is this:
According to Linda Lee, soon after he moved to the United States, Lee started to take nutrition seriously and developed an interest in health foods, high-protein drinks and vitamin and mineral supplements. He later concluded that in order to achieve a high-performance body, one could not fuel it with a diet of junk food, and with "the wrong fuel" one's body would perform sluggishly or sloppily. Lee also avoided baked goods, describing them as providing calories which did nothing for his body. Lee's diet included protein drinks; he always tried to consume one or two daily, but discontinued drinking them later on in his life. Linda recalls Bruce's waist fluctuated between 26 and 28 inches (66 to 71 centimeters). "He also drank his own juice concoctions made from vegetables and fruits, apples, celery, carrots and so on, prepared in an electric blender", she said. He consumed green vegetables, fruits, and fresh milk every day. Bruce always preferred to eat Chinese or other Asian food because he loved the variety that it had. Bruce also became a heavy advocate of dietary supplements, including: * Vitamin C * Lecithin granules * Bee pollen * Vitamin E * Rose hips (liquid form) * Wheat germ oil * Natural protein tablets (chocolate flavor) * Acerola - C * B-Folia by Ashley_mew10

Bruce lee (lee jun fan) learnt Wing Chun style of Kung-fu from the great teacher, Late Yip Maan. He also observered various styles to drop the classical touch/ mistakes in his kungfu. He learnt Short stick and Nunchaku from his fried Dan Inosato, an Asian martial artist. He was also very knowledgeable in karate techniques and Jhon Rhee was a friend.
Later on he developed his own style and , just to address it, he called that as Jeet Kune Do ( The way of the intercepting Fist).
Check Out his Books :
** Tao of jeet Kune DO **
Bruce lee's Fighting techniques (vol. 1 to 4),
The Art of Expressing the Human Body, etc...
Bruce Lee was OFFICIALLY trained in Wing Chun, and Boxing, however, some of his Boxing was self-taught, as he tended to watch footage of champs like Joe Louis to try to discern their movement patterns to incorporate them into his Kung Fu. He was a Boxer and Wing Chuner, with selected techniques from Tae Kwan Do, Karate, Savate, Muay Thai, Judo, Jiu Jitsu, and some wrestling. What I mean is, Boxing and Wing Chun were his primary foundation, the above named styles, he chose techniques he felt worked best. Also Bruce Lee's street fighting strategy was simple; get so close blocking is useless, hit them as hard as possible, in as many places as possible, as fast as possible. Basically, his strategy was all about infighting; he generally considered all other strategies to be "bullcrap" that "didn't work," and felt that in street fights, infighting was the only way to go. Bruce Lee's "strategy," was in fact very simple; he felt that the only way to win a street fight, was to get in close before the other guy did, while unloading a lightning fast barrage. Regardless of the size difference, Lee stated to let go of all fears, and to just keep unloading until the other guy falls. For the people fool enough to challenge him to see if his skills were real, that is often how the "fights" ended. I use quotes because witnesses of such events could not legally call them "fights," Lee was infamous for dropping his opponents in seconds.
Bruce Lee studied Wing Chun, a form of kung fu. He studied a variety of other arts including karate. He taught his own art called Jeet Kune Do. Officially he did not have any specific ranks.

What is the most popular style of Kung Fu?
Asked by Wiki User
Its hard to answer this concretely without statistics, but I would venture Tai Chi and Wing Chun are among the most popular today. The former is now being promoted by health organizations because its movements do not put stress on the joints like traditional exercises. This makes it ideal for older people to practice. The latter was made popular by Ip Man via Bruce Lee and Donnie Yen in various films and in dojos around the world.

What was Bruce Lee's childhood like?
Asked by Wiki User
- Bruce Lee was born on November 27, 1940, at the Chinese Hospital, in San Francisco's Chinatown.
- Bruce was the fourth child of five children: Phoebe Lee, Agnes, Peter Lee, and Robert Lee. Lee and his parents returned to Hong Kong when he was three months old.
- Lee's mother, Grace Ho, was from one of the wealthiest and most powerful clans in Hong Kong, the Ho-tungs. She was the niece of Sir Robert Ho-tung, the Eurasian patriarch of the clan. As such, the young Bruce Lee grew up in an affluent and privileged environment.
- Despite the advantage of his family's status, the neighborhood in which Lee grew up became overcrowded, dangerous, and full of gang rivalries due to an influx of refugees fleeing communist China for Hong Kong, at that time a British Crown colony.
- After Lee was involved in several street fights, his parents decided that he needed to be trained in the martial arts. Lee's first introduction to martial arts was through his father, from whom he learned the fundamentals of Wu-style t'ai chi ch'uan.

How long did Bruce Lee jog?
Asked by Wiki User
Unfortunately we will never know enough about Bruce's explosive speed. His attacks were never clocked because the technology was not readily available. We do know that he was way to fast for the camera speed at that time and was constantly told to slow down because he looked like a blur on the screen. The only real indication to his speed is the rare videos of his seminars he would give. His backfist was INCREDIBLE!

What nunchaku did Bruce Lee use?
Asked by Wiki User
The first time Bruce uses nunchaku on film is with his favourite wooden set at the time made by friend George Lee when playing Kato in LA, in the episode Hunters and Hunted in 1966. Light wooden batons, 3 deep grip grooves.
In Fist of Fury he used a black worn wooden set, tapered batons with 3 light grooves, believed given to Bob Baker then passed on in HK. He also used a rubber set for the film's showdown, grip grooves down the batons. These Kato and Fist sets are with a UK collector, never displayed. A makeshift rubber set was used in the dojo but fell apart so didn't survive.
He uses 2 sets of very lightweight nunchucks in Way of the Dragon to actually hit actors with, vinyl covered, swivels, given to friends, lost in time.
In Enter the Dragon 3-4 sets were made for Bruce and Han's guards, tapered wooden batons covered in vinyl with swivel clips. Bruce actually uses a different pair for his display scene, another for the cave trap, and another for on set photos. 1 of the sets is again with a UK collector, another set was with the World of Bruce Lee museum, presumably back with the Lee family.
Finally he uses a lightweight set in Game of Death covered in yellow vinyl with cord not chain, believed with Dan Inosanto or a close US friend.
Did Bruce Lee invent tae kwon do?
Asked by Wiki User
Bruce Lee was born in the 20th century, long after Taekwando was created.
Lee is credited with the formation of the Jeet Kun Do school of martial arts, or "Way of the Intercepting Fist." Lee practiced this form extraordinarily well but, as is the case in a few forms, the teacher seems to have had difficulty in passing on the lesson, and Jeet Kun Do is a difficult form to master, and has drawn a small number of practitioners. It's a non-patterned form and almost more of a philosophy, often eschewing classical techniques. In Lee's own words, "you either get it or you don't."
