I mean the man looked thin and ordinary. But when his shirt comes off you see the well defined muscles. Most martial artists who train weights today tend to develop bulkier muscles which slow them down. This man was muscular, yet fast and not "bulky" like a bodybuilder. Reply : WOW !!!!!!!!!! My first BRUCE LEE question!! I'm a BRUCE LEE cetified fanantic of his history and life . I work for BOB WALL ,who played in four of his movies and I have asked Grand Master Wall every question you could imagine. I know for sure he train with weights but I know his secret according to Master Wall. Heavy Bag work everyday and full-contact fighting Bruce had three heavy bags set up at his house one was cloths and rags, one was sand, one was rocks he would beat on the bags everyday and do speed drills, full-contact and other set-ups with the bags. Medicene ball too!60 pounds was the average weight of the ball. The full-contact sparring information comes from Danny Insanto, Bob Wall,James Coburn [deceased}and Steve McQueen {deceased] Bruce lived for the real feel of the martial arts ,real combat when he fought the above people he would fight for real! He was the real deal.period One story comes to mind is the famous one inch punch at the Internationals in sixties where he got the job for The Green Hornet series. I have seen the footage and the pictures of the man's stomach after Bruce punched him with a pad holding next to his chest . Are you ready for this!!! The holder had a black and blue bruise on his chest though the bag,if that is not proof of his power, give me a break !! Why do you think all the great champions like CHUCK NORRIS,BOB WALL,JOE LEWIS, JHOON RHEE,KEN KNUDSON ,MIKE STONE ALL TRAINED WITH HIM BECAUSE HE WAS AHEAD OF HIS TIME AND HE WAS A SUPER NICE GUY!! I had one encounter with Bruce ,it was early 1969 and I had just got off the boat from Hawaii and I was walking though the doors of the famous SHERMAN OAKS DOJO owned by Bob Wall and Chuck Norris when I saw JOE LEWIS walk out the door ,he had a tiny asian man with him who I did not notice , all I saw was the famous number one fighter in America JOE LEWIS when I entered the Dojo ,I realized then it was BRUCE LEE with him walking out the door . I had almost met BRUCE LEE, but though fate ,I never did I still became his biggest fan!!
