The only thing that's more impressive than Bruce Lee's legend is his reported real-life fighting skill. Even though he was a lightweight whose physique was not unlike a particularly fit stick figure, Lee was so strong that he could reportedly do 50 one-armed chin-ups and hold a 75-pound weight with an outstretched arm.

Www little caesars com. Cool, right? Still, Lee's strength wasn't even his most impressive physical property. Instead, as anyone who has seen his movies can attest, the thing that made Lee stand head and shoulders above the competition was his incredible speed. Have you ever wondered just how fast Bruce Lee really was? Let's find out!

The speed of the Dragon
Bruce Lee was fast, you guys. Really, really fast. How to measure it, though? It seems unfair to estimate just how fast he can, say, run a mile, because Bruce Lee doesn't need to run. With that in mind, let's look at the legendary martial artist's two main forms of on-screen communication, kicking and punching. According to Wing Chun News, some of Lee's close friends actually started calling him 'Bruce's Three Kicks' because of an incident in Hong Kong where he demonstrated his lightning-fast kicking speed: 'Bruce Lee hung a very small ball with a fishing line from the ceiling. The height is about his eye. He stands three feet from the ball and then sidekicks. The first kick makes the ball swing hard, but Bruce Lee is still able to kick it three times without putting down his leg.' The book Bruce Lee: A Life recounts that Lee used to demonstrate his moves to the camera crew on set, and although he obviously didn't connect, his sheer speed had an assistant director's entire body 'swaying back and forth in reaction to blows too fast for his brain to register.'

If you want numbers, look no further than Lee's legendary one-inch punch. According to South China Morning Post, this seemingly lightweight attack belied the fact that Lee's punches came at you at speeds of up to 118 miles per hour — the equivalent of a 'high-speed train' hitting you on a fist-sized area.

- The Silent Flute, known as martial arts icon Bruce Lee’s lost movie, is also being developed with the backing of the China State Film fund. Based on the last and unfinished script co-written by Lee, screen legend James Coburn, and In the Heat of the Night screenwriter Stirling Silliphant – both martial arts students of Lee at the time – the project has been revived with the blessing of Lee’s widow and daughter. A dystopic sci-fi fantasy set 800 years in the future, the film is casting two male leads from China and Hollywood, and will be co-produced by Beijing-based Heshan Media, with Jay Rifkin, Kyle Jackson, and Heshan CEO Jiang Ping as producers.

- Jesse Glover, the first student of martial arts legend Bruce Lee, died on Wednesday (27 June) at age 77 after a battle with cancer, according to close friend and past student Steve Smith. Glover, a lifelong Seattlite, used what he learned from Lee and his days as a judo champion to become a prominent leader in the martial arts community himself. While developing a method called Non-Classical Gung Fu, he worked as a private martial arts trainer in Seattle and eventually taught across the nation and as far as Germany. Lee and Glover met in 1959 while attending Edison Technical School, now Seattle Central Community College. Glover had already seen Lee demonstrate Gung Fu on stage when he ran into him on campus and asked to be his first student. They became good friends and trained together for four years.
