Episode 13

Bruce...
What do you think?

Very impressive. Very interesting.

Isn't it? I've travelled the world
just to collect all those things.

-I spent all my savings on them.
-Money well spent.

Bruce, you know what? I'm actually thinking
about writing a book on Martial Arts.

The things you said the other day
at your Kung Fun House helped me a lot.

I'm glad. As long as you need my help.
I'd be glad to talk.

I'm sure that would also help with
the development of my own style.

Bruce, the other day, I bought a book on Taoism.

It seems to apply to Martial Arts too.

I'd like to hear your thoughts on it.

Of course. Basically, Taoism is about
dealing with things without imposing.

You must be dialectic about your thinking.

For example, the material and immaterial
can interchange at any time.

Just like an offense can also be a defense
working at the same time.

Actually, I'm not that familiar with Taoism.

Taoism is very deep and profound.

Like Martial Arts, with regards to dealing with
things without imposing.

It doesn't mean you're not in control.
It's control based on natural order.

Also, from my understanding of immaterial
is that there's no fixed movements to follow.

The highest level of fighting is without limitations.

Wait a minute.

Let me write it down.

Please go on.

The concept of Taoism has many theories.

We're taught from childhood
that one must possess a peaceful mind.

Shutting out unnecessary thought.

Why is it people who practice Taoism
are always up in the mountains?

Do you know why?

It's quite simple, because they don't
want to be distracted.

When practicing Kung Fu, our mind must be
calm as water.

And when we fight, we shouldn't think
unnecessarily of winning or losing.

It causes our bodies to stiffen.

Only when our minds are at peace,
can we strike with precision.

That is when the material becomes immaterial.

We can therefore contral and not impose.

Professor, I'm embarrassing myself in front of an expert.

Of course not. What you said is very helpful.

Professor, may I borrow this book on fencing?

Of course.
You want to learn fencing?

I think it's applicable to the techniques
I'm developing for my style of fighting.

Bruce, I think it's good
if we went outside for a walk.

Why just talk about Philosophy
when we have guests here?

It's alright Professor.
It's actually quite interesting.

I can't fully grasp what you and Bruce
are talking about.

It would be easier to understand
if you two went out and show it to us.

Exactly what I had in mind kid.

-Well?
-Sure. I'd like to see Prof. Ino's Filipino style boxing.

-And I'd like to learn your Chinese Kung Fu.
-Alright. Let's go.

That's a good move.
It should be helpful to Bruce's technique.

Now you try it Burce.

Good... Yes, that's correct...
Then?.... Yes... Good.

Do it again.

Elbow up.

Like this.

Professor Ino, I think Filipino boxing
is very flexible and very fast.

But it's not that powerful.

Kimura, what Bruce said makes sense.

Yong Chun Quan is fast and direct.

We attack while we defend.
That's an important strength.

But it's weak point is in the footwork.

It's only practical when the opponent
is within close proximitiy

If the opponent is farther away, like this far,
or this far, then this technique is useless.

Wait. If my stance is like this. Would it work?

-This far.
-Okay, let's try it.

Let's try long and medium range.

Punching with left fist then the right fist
will follow instantaneously.

I think it would be better if we kept
a safe distance.

I've been thinking of a way to simplify Yong Chun Quan.
To make the moves simpler and less complicated.

And combine the centerline theory, combined with the power of western boxing.

How is that possible. Yong Chun Quan
and western boxing can't be mixed togther.

Come on. Let's try it.

Try it.

-I tried to...
-One more time.

How come?

I used basic and direct attacks of Yong Chun Quan.

I attacked with my right, but I combined it
with footwork of western boxing.

And throughtout our fight,
I was mindful of my centerline.

That's very important.

Come on. Let's try it again.

Okay.

See.

Oh. This way I can defend even while attacking.

Yes, that's important. You attack and defend
at the same time.

So while I attack, I still maintain a defensive posture.

Bruce, that was great.

I didn't think it was possible to combine fencing
with martial arts.

After I read that book you lent me,
I learned something.

The art of fencing can be combined with martial arts.

Just like the lunging I used just now.

In Yong Chun Quan, we keep our strong fist in front.

In fencing, it's almost the same.

They are similar in using powerful attacks
at long rage.

In the past, when I punch with the right fist,
I can't move because of this.

I have limited range.

But now, I combined it with the lunge in fencing,
I have range!

I have a longer range in my attack.

Bruce, would you mind demonstrating
the Inch Fist to me?

Yeah. Sure.

Smashing a piece of paper from less then
an inch away.

Simply amazing.

Actually, the Inch Fist draw from the power
of the gorund.

From the leg, waist, shoulder combined,
put your body into it.

From the ground power passes through the legs,
waist, back shoulder to the fist.

And it all comes out in one blow.

This is what's called the Inch Fist.

Your fist is like the end of a whip.

You focus all of your strength to the end of your fist
with explosive power.

You can even punch through leather.

Explosive?

Professor, why don't you try it?

-I'll keep this.
-Okay.

Relax your muscles and losen your wrist.

Strike when you gathered all the strength from your body.

Ok.

Your punch is fast. Your muscles relaxed.

Kick with precision.

When you turn, watch your balance.

Alright. That's enough for today.
I'll teach you more tomorrow. Okay?

-Okay.
-Go ahead and rest.

Alright.

Bruce? Is it okay if I borrow your notes?

Sure.

Kung fu is a special skill.

It is a subtle art.

Not just simple physical exercise.

It is an art form that blends many techniques
and wisdom, all working in perfect harmony.

The principle of Kung Fu is to scientifically
exercise your body and mind.

The highest level of Kung Fu is Taiji's Yin and Yang.

Taiji's Yin and Yang signifies the essence
of everthing in the universe.

When discussing Kung Fu theory, Taiji's Yin and Yang
simplifies all that is complex...

into 2 basic terminologies: defense and offense.

Actual combat is like war.

Without correct stragety, even if you gain
momentary victory, in the end you could still lose.

So in order to break the psycological barriers,
you must be as ferocious as a beast...

clever as a fox, quick as a cat,
and also precise like a cobra.

Once you do all of this,
you have achieved mastery of yourself.

Kimura, I don't think my Kung Fu
is making an impact on people.

I'd like my Kung Fu School to make a bigger impact
on our society.

I think it is important to exchange martial arts
knowledge with other people.

But how?

Barge into other martial arts schools?

Bruce, I don't think that's a good idea
to challenge other schools.

You'll use up all your stength and offend people.

I don't mind offending people.

Moreover, how will you find the time?

That's true. Come.

It's not a good idea to barge into other schools.

So I think, it's better if they came to us.
Instead of us going there to challenge them.

What are you thinking inside that head of yours?

You're going to challenge masters in your own school?

What if you lose in front of our students?
We would lose face.

My goal is to create a new style of martial arts.

Winning or losing isn't the key.

Understand?

Write this down.

No matter the time, place or person.
If I'm challenged, I'll be there. Sign Bruce Lee.

Kiruma write it in big letters. I want it on a sign
at the entrance of the school.

Bruce, if we do this,
we're going to look too arrogant.

Just do it. Only this way, can we get their attention.

It is the best way to develop our new style
of martial arts. We'll be testing it on other Masters.

-So write it.
-You'll be making enemies.

Just write what I told you to write.

Bruce, you're basically challenging the whole
martial arts community in the US.

Other masters will come and challenge me.
That's what matters.

Let's just hang up the sign.

I still think it's a bad idea.

Oh stop worrying, will you?
Let's go.

Is it true? Did you see it yourself?

Yes, I saw it myself. Bruce Lee put up a big sign
at the gate of his school.

He's way too arrogant!

Come.

Come, kick me.

Agh... Master...

Get up.

Help me up, Master.

Bruce!

Jesse, practice on your own now.

Come outside with me. We need to talk.

Sure, this way please.

Professor Ino, what's the problem?

Bruce, what's the matter with you?

I saw a sign at the entrance, it says you take all
challengers, anytime, anyplace.

What's wrong with that?

You can't. There are so many martial artists in the US.
Your Kung Fu house will be under constant attack.

I'm not afraid.

Want to know something? When I was a kid,
I wanted others to teach me, I just barged in.

Now, I've finally found a way to get other masters
to come and challenge me and learn from them.

Isn't that good?

Professor Ino, although my martial arts is still
underdeveloped.

But I'll not lose a fight that easily.

Moreover, my purpose is not see
who is the better fitghter.

But rather to develop my own style of martial arts.
I think it's worth the effort, even if I fail.

I owe you an apology. I should have consulted you
before I put up the sign.

Bruce, I don't need your apology.

I'm just worried that many masters
will be coming after you.

That's exactly what I want.

Bruce, you have to be prepared for this.

I will.

It'll be good if you win.
What if you lose?

You'll lose a lot of face.
Your Kung Fu House will be shut down.

Then your dream of creating your own style of
martial arts will be no more than a dream.

Master, phone call.

Who is it?

Willy Jay's Jujitsu.

See? There's one.

-Go on.
-Don't worry, okay?

The sign on your gate, why did you put it up for?
Are you challenging every martial artist in US?

No, that's not it.

I just want a way to improve my skills and develop
my new style by learning from different masters.

You should've given this some more thought.
With that sign, what are people suppose to think?

If nobody accepts your challenge, then everybody's
afraid of you.

What if someone does accept your challenge?
Well, then what? What good is it to you or others?

How would this affect all of them?
All this to know who's better?

That's not my intention.

I'm sorry but I just don't like your attitude.

I'm sorry, Master. I didn't realize that what I did
would offend you. Please trsut me.

I just want to develop my skills and perfect my
Jeet Kune Do. Nothing else.

And if possible, Master, I'd like to learn some Jujitsu.

No. I can't teach you anymore. If people find out
I'm teaching you. They'll be offended too.

If they have a problem.
I'll be waiting at the Kung Fu House.

If it's offending the martial arts community,
then that's what it is.

I just want to prove myself.

I'm your friend, so I have to warn you,
what you're doing is very dangerous.

I don't know anyone as arrogant as you.

Yes! I want the whole world to know me.

The world will know the name "Bruce Lee"

So it's true. Bruce Lee has issued a challenge
to all martial artists.

So Bruce Lee is actually challenging all the
martial artists in America?

James and I saw the sign at the gate of his
Kung Fu House.

It says anyone, anytime, anyplace, he will take
all challengers.

Bruce Lee is too cocky.

He is just too proud.

But you know, I think Bruce Lee really is a true master.

Preposterous.

A few punches from me and he could barely stand.
And that's the truth.

He's probably forgotten what he looked like
after I fought with him.

He doesn't have the backbone to challenge me.
So he's resorting to tactics like this!

I'll tear down his Kung Fu House.

Master Yamamoto, must you do that?

As I'v esaid, there's no place for Bruce Lee
in the state of Seattle.

One. Two. Three.

Bruce.

What is it?

I just got a call from James.
He wants to arrange a match.

Good. Who is it?

This isn't good. You made me put up the sign.
I didn't approve.

So now, James is coming after you.

Why should I be afraid?
I heard he's just a researcher on martial art theory.

And not a good one at that.

He's not half as good as Professor Inosanto.

Bruce, don't underestimate that man.

He used to teach boxing theory at an athletic college.

And then he changed careers.
Now, he's a famous promoter in the martial arts world.

He put up a center promoting martial arts.
He makes a lot of money by promoting matches.

So what does he want?

He saw a money-making opportunity,
because of that sign you put up.

He's encouraging other masters to challenge you.

Hmm... That's exactly what I want.

Master Yamamoto, I don't think it's necessary
for you humiliate bruce's Kung Fu House.

Yes, Bruce Lee put up a sign that laughed
at the face of the martial arts world.

But his intention, was only to further his knowledge
for his Kung Fu.

That's no excuse. What he did was disrespectful
to the martial arts community in the US.

I tried to talk him out of it. But he wouldn't
take the sign down.

I have to admit, what he has done is quite insulting.

But if you try to take it down this way,
you'll be bringing him shame.

Once we get there,
Bruce Lee himself will take that sign down.

That's right. It's about time
we taught that arrogant kid a lesson.

-I think it's better if we did not go.
-He's too proud!

First, I think this is unnecessary.
And second, he's not an ordinary fighter.

I don't think he's all that good.

The last time I fought him, he couldn't handle it.
He could barely stand.

I'm telling you he's good. I fought him a few months
ago and it was a draw. You better think it over first.

If you ask me, it's not a bad idea to teach this Bruce
Lee kid a lesson.

I could organize a match.

Then more people will see how Bruce Lee
will be beaten by Master Yamamoto.

Since he's so cocky, it should be Master
Yamamoto who puts him in his place.

Don't worry, Mr. Yamada. He'll be humilated.

What is the center line? Let me explain it to you.

Kimura, give me a hand.

The center line is our body, punch, kick...
the center line is here.

Ok Kimura, give me a punch.

See thtat? He and I are always on a center line.

One more.

During defense, it's the same thing.

You can go back now.

The purpose of fighting is to defeat the adversary.

If you just defend, he's not going to fall by himself.

In my theory of martial arts, you can defend yourself
while you're attacking your opponent.

This way, you can change from defense
into an offense.

-Understood?
-Yes, Master.

Blair, step forward.

Everyone, watch how Blair and I exercise
defense and offense.

Blair, attack me.

While he's attacking, I'm defending.

But I'm also attacking as I defend.

Ok, one more time.

See that?

Everybody understand?

Even when I'm defending I can still attack.
This is called defensive attack.

Good. Moving on, I'll teach everyone
how to train with the wooden man.

Uh, Master! Everytime you practice that I'm just
so impressed!

Today, I was thinking you can demonstrate
for everyone first, right guys?

Yeah!

Alright.

James told me Yamamoto's having a match with you.

-Should you be preparing for that?
-I'm ready for him.

Yamamoto's skills is not as good as Rolex,
but he's still a first class fighter.

I've been waiting for this day to come.

The last time, he defeated me. But I'm different now.
I've also been studying his fighting style.

From my experience, we should sit down
and talk about this.

-We can come up with a good strategy.
-You're too kind.

It's alright Bruce. There will be many people will
challenge you in future.

I think you better not expose your skills too much.

-Why not?
-The less they know, it's less likely that they'd defeat you.

Now I'll teach you Ri Zi Punch.

When you throw this punch,
there must be no expression on your face.

Your body� must not look like it prepared for it.

All of your energy, must explode in one blow.

You got it?

-Yes, Master.
-Good.

How was that?

What style was that?

Well, before you threw the punch I was deflecting
your attact but at the same time...

I was already attacking too. It's simulatneous.

Good.

See. While you're defending, you're also attacking.
What do you think?

Wait Bruce...

You and Yamamoto are both fast punchers.
What makes you so sure you'll beat him?

Fight speed with speed.

-Repeat.
-Yes, Master.

It's hard to defend an attack coming from
above and below.

What do you want?
Why are you here?

What do you want?

Master Yamamoto, so you've come to teach me.

I've come to see what's so good about your skills.

I've always wanted to learn from you. Thank you
for comng to my Kung Fu House. I'm honored.

Then, let's do it.

Wait.

I have one request.

What is it?

After we trade knowledge,
could you teach me karate?

Trade knowledge? I've already defeated you once.

I just came here to teach you a lesson. I want
you to know there's no place for you here in US.

You're far too arrogant.

Arrogant or not, we'll know after this fight.

Today, before all of your students, my students,
Master Yamamoto, and you Mr. Yamada...

I want to make clear one thing.

If you lose today, you'll agree to be my coach. And I
in return will teach you Yong Chun and other things.

You teaching me? If you beat me,
I'll do anything you want.

-Come on.
-Very good. Come on.

Excellent!

Master, thank you.

Master Yamamoto...

I hope that you'll live up to the agreement.

I'll come by your school in a couple of days.

-Jesse, put the sign back up.
-Okay.

Professor, thank you so much.

Everything you said worked.

Really? Was he a fast puncher?

Really fast! His punches were very powerful too.

I see. So what did you learn from the fight?

I learned a lot from him. I found out that he has
trained well in fundamentals.

He has the endurance to sustain his attack.

The power of his punches is tremendous.

A regular person, with just one puch,
would've been knocked down.

-Or even knocked out.
-Yes.

He would have been knocked out.

So I used what I noticed from him. And made sure
he didn't get a chance to hit me.

I avoided getting hit. Waited for a chance to aim
for his vital part. I used the Inch Fist and he fell.

Fantastic!

-Thank you.
-You're welcome.

Mr. Ed Parker. I'm sorry but you'll have to
excuse me now.

Master Yamamoto, your skills are exceptional.
So why did you lose in such a short time?

I noticed from Bruce Lee's fighting style, it's somewhat
influenced by Filipino boxing.

I suspect he learned from Inosanto.

-Inosanto?
-Yes.

I once fought with Inosanto. I still remember
his boxing style.

Inosanto uses many fighting styles, and he also
fights with incredible speed.

-But I thought Inosanto has never defeated you.
-That's right.

That's why I'm wondering.

In Karate, we're required to separate defense from
offense.

But Bruce Lee's fight style, combined offense and defense.

You couldn't anticipate his movement,
offense or defnese.

I couldn't even tell what kind of fighting style
he was using.

It was like Filipino boxing, but not the same as
Filipino boxing.

Anyway with Bruce Lee's fighting style, it's like
my strength had no effect.

His various styles and fast punches kept me confused.

Especially that final punch. So fast, so powerful.

Bruce Lee's fighting style is well on its way
to achieving perfection.

His punching power is much stronger than before.
Now I just can't keep up with him.

Master.

Master Yamamoto, Bruce Lee called to say
he's coming over tomorrow for another fight.

He says he wants to learn. But Master,
I doubt his sincerity.

From what I know, Chinese martial artists never
expose their martial art secrets to other schools.

However, I want to learn
how he does that powerful punch.

Mr. Ed Parker, Bruce Lee wants me to teach him
Karate. How should I teach him?

Professor Ino, I'm going to Yamamoto's school tomorrow
I want to exchange martial arts knowledge with him.

What technique should Iask him to explain to me,
for me to learn?

Bruce, don't expect him to teach you anything.

It doesn't matter what technique you ask, he
will not necessarily teah you anything.

Now the martial arts community sees you as a threat.

Noone would allow you to become better than them.

But still, I have faith in him.

I'll teach him all I know.

You know, the reason why martial arts
is developing so slow...

it's because nobody shares what they know.

Only by exchaning knowledge will martial arts be
thoroughly developed.

I want to be the one to get it started.

If he and I shared everything we know,
it'll greatly develop my skills.

My martial arts theory will be perfect soon.

Then I hope he sincerely accepts what you're offering.

I think he will.

Please Mr. Bruce Lee, I would like to know, what kind of
fighting style did you use to defeat me?

Easy, I just put my eye inside your mind.

I don't understand.

You've defeated me serval times,
so I decided to study your fighting style.

Your punches are powerful and fierce.

So, everytime you throw a punch,
I have to know your intention.

So I put one of my eyes ther inside your mind.

I didn't let you come here to confuse me with your words.

If you want me to teach you in good faith, then
you must tell me, what style did you use to defeat me?

Okay. Master Yamamoto. Watch this.

This is what I used.

This is the Ri Zi Punch.

Ri Zi Punch?

That's right. Ri Zi Punch.

When I'm defending, I can attack at the same time.

It's fast. And when I punch,
I focus on your center line.

It is usually very effective.

Ri Zi Punch requires you to gather all your strength.
Focus it all on one point.

So it's very fast.

It will unleash a trmendous force, when the opponent
is moving in.
