In this video, Grant Stevens takes an in-depth look at Bruce Lee's training and fighting prowess to answer the question: was he truly a great athlete?

Bruce is placed on a pedestal by many. Some regard him as one of the greatest martial artists of all time, a trailblazer, and an incredible athlete. There are stories of him performing incredible feats. Others say that Bruce was little more than an actor.

Was Bruce Lee really that strong? We know his measurements and his lifts and they don't align with the stories. Why did Bruce Lee never compete in fighting competitions?

What's the truth? How good was Bruce Lee really?

And: would Bruce Lee do well in MMA?

First of all: those two questions are NOT necessarily related. MMA success is not the only yardstick by which to measure a martial artist.

As for the rest... while we may never know for sure, there are certainly many clues. We can see the way he moved. We know the theory that guided his training. And there is a small amount of footage of Bruce's sparring floating around.

As usual, the answer is most likely nuanced. Here's Grant's informed take on the matter.
