These include the king of the Philippine club, the national karate champion, the father of American Taekwondo, the Japanese martial artist and the Canadian boxing champion. These are all public. When Bruce Lee filmed "Big Brother in Tangshan" in Thailand, he tried his best to find a famous Thai boxing master to speak for him. First, he defeated overseas Chinese Muay Thai, and then he defeated Thai boxing champions Chaer and Pu. The game was held in secret, and was later discovered by Chen's disciples who were peeking at the periphery.
The contest between "Kung Fu Emperor" Bruce Lee and the champion of Muay Thai was unknown at that time, but it really became a much-told story after it came out. It is said that there are two different versions of Jeet Kune Do and Muay Thai.
It is said that Bruce Lee has a good habit. In the tense filming days, he still did not forget to practice hard, actively looking for martial arts masters from all over the world to learn from each other, in order to improve his actual combat level and test the power of Jeet Kune Do. When he was filming "Tangshan Mobile" in Thailand, he once fought with Thai boxing masters.
After arriving in Bangkok that year, Bruce Lee, who had already heard about the power of Muay Thai, thought: It is difficult for other kinds of boxing to win Muay Thai, which does not mean that Jeet Kune Do is no match for the power of Muay Thai. So he decided to challenge Muay Thai. First of all, after filming, he beat Chen, a famous overseas Chinese muay Thai fighter, by one point. This time, Bruce Lee, who easily defeated his opponent, was very happy. Confidence in defeating Muay Thai has also increased. So he asked Ah Kin to introduce the most famous local champion to play with him. Under Chen's contact, Bruce Lee decided to have a private friendship competition with the most famous Muay Thai boxer at that time, Champion Chap, who was known as "wearing a cloud foot".
At the beginning of the fight, Bruce Lee took the attack as the defense, and suddenly issued a flying kick to the head of the Thai boxing champion. The boxing champion blocked it with his hand, but at that time, the gap in his chest was revealed. Bruce Lee in the ear, with a powerful inch strength fist into the gap in the boxing champion's chest, but as strong as an ox, the muay Thai king just leaned back slightly, as if nothing had happened. Bruce Lee saw that his opponent was going to fight back, so he quickly recovered his leg and stepped on the back of his hand, feet and back with his heel. The champion did not avoid this move, and immediately felt terrible pain and was furious. Then he elbowed Bruce Lee's head with his fist, but it just hit Bruce Lee's trap, because the Muay Thai King exposed the gap in the middle plate again. When Bruce Lee saw this, he immediately slammed his opponent's abdomen, face and temples with a "three-legged chain" and knocked him to the ground.
Seeing that the two men won the game, Chen immediately stepped forward to stop and end the game. No one revealed it to the outside world at that time.
Another legend about Bruce Lee's challenge to Muay Thai is that when Bruce Lee challenged the champion of Muay Thai for the first time, he was repeatedly hit by the knee of Muay Thai, so it was difficult to win, and he only tied. Bruce Lee, who has been thinking about how to crack the knee bump, was inspired when watching a Muay Thai match: Why not crack the knee bump of Muay Thai with your elbow?
So, in the second contest, the Thai boxing champion was cracked by Bruce Lee as soon as he hit his knee. Jeet Kune Do finally defeated Muay Thai under the inspiration of Muay Thai.
