Beerdy – Bruce Lee Central:

Welcome to Beerdy – Bruce Lee Central. Bruce Lee – the fastest man that ever lived, the man that reached almost superhuman levels of speed and power. We were privileged to witness this man at his peak but only for a short while before his candle stopped burning. But how strong and fast was Bruce Lee really?

This man reached a level that was scary. This man reached a level that was terrifying. Let’s now listen to his friends, family and martial artists talk about how strong and fast Bruce Lee really was.

Brandon Lee (Actor, Fight Choreographer & Martial Artist):

I started training with my dad really as soon as I could walk. I mean, my dad was a really diligent trainer. He always had people over the house practicing. My dad had a circle of students that were close to him and so they were friends of our family. And one of those men, Danny Inosanto continued to be my teacher. Shoot it, you know, they had to overcrank and shoot in slow motion because otherwise it just looked like a special effect when he moved. I mean, the man was fast. He was deadly fast.

James Coburn (Actor):

He’s… the perfection that he achieved was awe-inspiring. I mean, he was the fastest moving person you’ve ever seen. I mean, you’d reach out and he was like “poo poo” all over the place. We used to work out at his place and he had a 700 lbs bag hung on a big l iron, you know, or what they call them, stuck in his patio and he would swim on a big spring and he would kick that thing and double it over. And I would kick it and it would double me over. But he would “boom” get that thing to swing and back and forth and pop it and pop it. He was amazing! Really amazing!

Dan Inosanto (Martial Arts Instructor):

What he did, a lot of people can’t do. Like he could really shell shock a person with his lead jab. A lot of people cannot. We could score with that. We could put the guy off balance with it. We might even hurt him but we can’t take a man out. He had tremendous power and we don’t have that.
