Bruce Lee Interview (Pierre Berton Show, 1971)

Bruce Lee - founder of Jeet Kune Do - a pioneer in modern Mixed Martial Arts (MMA).

I got tired of watching this video, on other YouTube channels, with the audio & video out of sync; so I audio-corrected it. I also tried a rudimentary upscale, with very little success... but, all in all, I think it's better overall.

Much of what Bruce discusses here is expounded upon in his book, "Tao of Jeet Kune Do", which I highly recommend.

This man was so ahead of his time, it was an honor just to hear him speak.

[DeadlyLazer]

Damn.. this guy ain't teaching fighting, he's teaching what life truly means

"Always be yourself,
Express yourself,
Have faith in yourself,
Do not go out and look
for a successful
personality and duplicate it"
- Bruce Lee

In my 27 years, I just realized I never heard Bruce Lee speak before. So glad I looked this up.

“I fear not the man who has practiced 10, 000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10, 000 times.” - bruce lee

He was so handsome, charismatic, and laid back. He didn't bash or put down other styles either. He was another breed. They don't make them like this anymore.

Man Bruce Lee was centuries ahead in his thinking, he makes the interviewer look like he came from the dark ages.

[KiannaMoon]

He just oozes charisma, self-awareness, and wisdom in this interview. What a badass he was!

[cizia]

Can you be more charismatic than this young man??? The ending was brutal. Bruce Lee was a master, an aware sentient on the path towards truth. Cutting him while he was precisely unfolding his truth was a sin; almost like overhearing the secret of life and suddenly being interrupted... Yet, we have this interview, these precious moments. Thank you for this.

[milagrosmaylendelgado]

"Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless, like water"....that phrase is so profound, rest in peace legend and master of martial arts, Bruce Lee...

[cldlver]

Bruce Lee was totally from a different dimension. His thinking, his attitude, his beliefs were beyond a normal perspective. He is a legend forever, no doubt. I love the fact I grew up watching him.

[pranavkulkarni]

The voice of Bruce Lee is like bullets of diamond

He is the greatest
I respect him a lot🙏

[vijayasree]

the interviewer was clearly not paying attention, he must have been thinking its a regular day at work. he was not ready for this magnanimous amount of wisdom. what bruce lee was telling is something you can hear once in a million lifetimes

[winbig]

"All type of knowledge ultimately means self knowledge."
Pure wisdom.

[renevos]

It's weird how the interviewer and Bruce Lee sound like they are from different times.

[juhabach]

His english vocabulary is so good yet he did not lose his accent wow

[jayandrews]

The reason why people love and are so drawn to bruce lee is because he spent his life mastering to truly be himself 100% and you always get drawn to the truth ... because it's so real it's so pure it's so rare

[govindaahuja]

Listening to this man could really change your perspective on life.

Berton: ''Do you consider yourself a Chinese? Or American''
Lee: ''You wanna know? A human being''
