If you think a hurricane wind has speed,
one man was possibly faster. Bruce Lee was challenged by a man who
had a grudge against him and Lee agreed to fight the man who
practiced karate and had a black belt in judo.
The fight was to be three two-minute rounds and held at the YMCA
handball court. Jesse Glover was the referee and Ed Hart was the
time keeper.
The fight started and Lee deflected an initial kick with his
right forearm and simultaneously punched the man in the face with
his left hand. He deflected a couple more punches and landed
several of his own until he had the man pinned against the wall.
The man tried to grab Lee’s arm, but instead he received a double
fist punch to the chest and face by Lee and then a kick to the
nose. The man’s nose started bleeding, he was knocked out by the
kick, and Glover stopped the fight.
Ed Hart said the fight lasted exactly 11 seconds and Lee landed
15 punches and a kick. A well known fact is that they had to
slow down the speed for some movie scenes because Lee's actions
were too quick.
