Many people don't realize that Bruce Lee's father was amongst other things a film actor and Bruce Lee was a childhood actor introduced to the industry by his father before he was into martial arts. So it was natural in a way for him to have had a career choreographing film and performing fight scenes (that the Chinese loved to speed-up). None of what he ever did had anything to do with real fighting which he never did much of. I'm not sure he would have done very well against a top MMA guy of his weight class today unless he trained MMA and was good at it...but that we will never know. His films were entertaining...but mostly because his audience was/is young and impressionable guys.
He was the 1st to take the genre to the world beyond Asia and did it better than anyone of his time. But the fantasy of his fight scenes were just kung foo movies.

Speeding it up back then would be easy to notice, even now its easy to notice when a you tuber has sped it up and we are alot more sophisticated now than then.
He did it infront of crowds and in practice you can see him get faster and faster as he got better and better on home videos and audience demonstration videos
Sound effects were added for filming purposes sometimesLast edited by AlexKid; 03-01-2017, 11:21 PM.

Bruce Lee's live demonstrations were also very short sequences...it's an impressive display of talent and yes he was fast...but fighting has little to do with any of that. You know if you slap a back-hand with an open hand it will be very fast but won't have the power effect of a closed hand punch. Bruce Lee was a fight film professional...it's an illusion-art. If you saw things being filmed you couldn't image that they would look real when they are finished...but they do.
