Sharing "The Bruce Lee Story - As Told By You - Episode 5"

"If Bruce Lee was alive today, what would you say to him?" This is the repeated question in all of the episodes. There have been some good answers and some so so answers. In Episode 5 UFC Fighter Matt Mitrione and The Ultimate Fighter Contestant Andy Main are interviewed. Andy has a pretty good answer. He states that he would ask him about his philosophies and what inspired him in the early days to pursue the creation of Jeet Kune Do. Matt answer is that he would not say a word to him. While on the surface this may seem to be an answer of awe and respect. To me it feels contrived. To have the opportunity to be face to face with Bruce Lee and not say a word. Ridiculous.

Again, it is your opportunity. If Bruce Lee was alive today, what would YOU say to him?

Enjoy the video!

Sharing "The Bruce Lee Story - As Told By You - Episode 4"

Episode 4 is out. Actually, it has been out for about a week. Only 4000 views on this one so far. Not a real high viewing count on all of these. I am actually surprised.

Interesting choice for interviewees on this one. Seth Kelly, UFC Magazine Editor and Chief, is selected to be interviewed. As well as, UFC Lightweight Champion Frankie Edgar. I am not sure of the selection process. You can tell from the videos that these are all done at MMA events. They seem to be done, ad hoc/on location. Considering Seth Kelly is not an MMA competitor or trainer it is a variance from the previous episodes. I wonder if they will try and interview and celebrities who are in attendance; there to see the fights. Considering Bruce Lee's connection to the world of film and entertainment, as well as martial arts it would make sense to me. I also wonder if they will get Dana White to sit down in front of the camera.

Sharing "The Bruce Lee Story - As Told By You - Episode 3"

Here is episode three of the weekly special on Bruce Lee.



It's interesting that they are speaking to MMA fighters. Bruce Lee's philosophy of fighting and training was ahead of the game in relation to the mixing of styles; or to better put it, a breaking down of styles. I would love if they would cut into scenes of Bruce Lee in action. Throw in scenes showing Bruce executing grappling moves. In the beginning of "Enter the Dragon" Bruce used submission techniques to win a sparring match. There must be more out there. This would be a great way of integrating the comments from today's MMA fighters with the evolving philosophy and techniques of Bruce Lee.
