The transcript below is from the video “Karate Grandmaster Thinks He Can Beat Bruce Lee…… Then This Happened” by Beerdy – Bruce Lee Central.

Beerdy – Bruce Lee Central:

Welcome to Beerdy – Bruce Lee Central.

Hey everybody, it’s Beerdy here. What’s going on guys? Okay, so this video is dedicated to the memory of Taky Kimura. If you don’t know who this guy is, he was a real real legend of the martial arts.

Beerdy – Bruce Lee Central:

He started off as a Karate grandmaster and then he met Bruce Lee and Bruce Lee demonstrated Jeet Kune Do, and Taky Kimura was convinced that Jeet Kune Do is the way to go and he let go of Karate altogether. So he just stopped doing Karate and joined Bruce Lee in doing Jeet Kune Do instead.

Beerdy – Bruce Lee Central:

So the two of them became really really close friends. One would even say best friends. And Taky Kimura joined Bruce Lee in traveling around the country performing Jeet Kune Do exhibitions and that’s where this fight is from.

Beerdy – Bruce Lee Central:

You’re about to see a fight between Taky Kimura and Bruce Lee. And Taky Kimura jokingly said that the only way I can beat Bruce Lee is if Bruce Lee is blind. And that was just a joke.

Beerdy – Bruce Lee Central:

But Bruce Lee took it seriously and he shocked everyone, including Taky Kimura, when he put on a blindfold before this fight. Yeah, he puts on a blindfold and he shocks the audience and he shocks Taky Kimura who had no clue what was happening. And they had a match which we’re about to see. So here, take a look.
