15 Reasons Why Jackie Chan And Bruce Lee Are Epic



Bruce Lee could snatch a dime off a person's open palm and leave a penny behind, all this before they could close it.


Other interesting facts about Bruce Lee’s amazing physical accomplishments include: 
  • Bruce Lee could land a punch in around five hundredths of a second (0.05 second) from 3 feet away, and from 5 feet away it was around eight hundredths of a second (0.08 second). 
  • Lee could take in one arm a 75 lb barbell from a standing position with the barbell held flush against his chest and slowly stick his arms out locking them, holding the barbell there for several seconds. 
  • Lee could perform one-hand push-ups using only the thumb and index finger. Lee performed 50 reps of one-arm chin-ups. 
  • Lee could cause a 300-lb (136.08 kg) bag to fly towards and thump the ceiling with a sidekick. 
  • Lee could hold an elevated v-sit position for 30 minutes or longer. 
  • Lee performed a sidekick while training with James Coburn and broke a 150 lb (68 kg) punching bag. 
  • In a move that has been dubbed "Dragon Flag", Lee could perform leg lifts with only his shoulder blades resting on the edge of a bench and suspend his legs and torso horizontal midair.
  • Bruce Lee was able to jump 8 feet from a stand still (this was shown in pictures and his films such as the one where he kicked the lightbulb out). 
  • Lee could break wooden boards 6 inches (15 cm) thick.
