How To Escape From Armbar – By Bruce Lee

What if the other guy using winter boot?

“The art of fighting…without biting?”

SNAP! goes the arm. If anyone, even Bruce himself was biting me on the ankle – I’d snap his arm like a twig.

brilliant…the guy was decades ahead of every martial artist at that time…

Bas Rutten would say… You bit my leg, but I broke your arm…

ridiculous. I remember seeing this movie before I even knew what an armbar was.

Love the voice overs on Bruce’s films and many other martial arts films from the past- TOTALLY OTT!

hey paddeddummy have you ever had a guy bite a chunk off you? or have u ever had your arm broken from an arm lock????
so how would you know?those techniques are illegal in mma cuz every one would end up maimed n not be able to continue a fight carreer.the guys who are sucessful in mma would still kill the idiots who use that stuff if it was allowed cuz theyed use it to.id bet my life if some morn on the street started biting my leg id snap his arm the beat him more for biting me.itd take just as long to break the arm as it would to move your leg so why not break his arm?

I agree with paddedummy. When you are fighting in the streets or just using real Vale Tudo, jujitsu and grappling in general become useless. No one can apply an arm bar or choke while having their eyes ripped and their balls smashed.
I’ve seen many BJJ champions crying like girls when they realized that the closer you get, more chances you have to become a blind girl…

Brce Lee’s leg bite would probably work much better closer to the inner tighs. They are much more sensitive and carry some essential blood arteries…

baaahahhahhaa. oh, I thought he grabbed him by the boys–but he bit his ankle? retarded.

you should get that clip from the Dragon the Bruce lee story next, some guys is arm barring bruce and he grabs the guys nuts instead of biting him. find it and post it yo

LoL’d at all of you

im sick of the dana white blogs he thinks he looks cool whith that gay smile who cares if you the president instead why they dont do blogs on all the ufc fighters ,,they making UFC AFLICION K1 richer…gives the fighter retirement pension . a boxers gets like 30 million THE MOST this fighters are stupid they get from 20,000 to 1 million the most.. ofcourse the mma bussiness has to grow its not because they do A good a job …the fighters risking their life for stupid little shit money….OFCOURSE EVERY ONE ON THE BUSINESS HAS A SMILE ..BUNCH OF LEECHES..LOOK AT CHUCK LIDELL AND MATT LINDAN THOSE K’O ARE DANGEROUS FOR THAT LITTLE MONEY

it wouldnt work in a street fight but most people wouldnt think to bite anyway.

Yeeeesss Bruce…he should have a sprinkled a bit of salt and pepper on that leg or maybe some bbq sauce first LOL. The thing I don’t like about jits for street fighting is that it isn’t practical if your up against more than one person. In most cases scraps aren’t one on one anymore…the minute you start grappling and go for any lock you’ll get a soccor kick in the head…from the guys buddy. Thats why I like and train muay thai, stick and move put them to sleep one by one.

what would happen if you did that in mma,would you only get a point deducted or would they call it, either way bruce would’nt find himself in that situation in real life, personaly i think bruce would be the oldest light weight champ in ufc history.

This is BS… In a real fight the armbar would not be held waiting for a tap, it would go full throtle and the arm would brake. Even if he would manage to bite he would probably lose teeth right after that as the guy would pull the leg and use his arm hold to kick him on the face a few times.

And dudes, Bruce Lee was A FAKE… He never won a fight against a martial artist in a competition. He was all marketing.

I can’t believe how many posters actually think they’d have the time to bite a guy’s leg hard enough to make him let go before he snaps your arm or that it would even make him let go before he does snap your arm; add to that the fact that he’s trying to bite through pants. How long do you think it takes to snap an arm with this type of lock, especially when it’s in this deep? (hint: less than .25 seconds). Yes, I’ve been bitten–by dogs and humans, and no, I wasn’t incapacitated. I’ve had my elbow dislocated three times–it happened in the blink of an eye and yes I was in too much pain to continue. And for the ignoramuses who still don’t get it, just do this–have a jiu-jitsu fighter put you in the same position with the instructions to make you tap before the pain of your bite makes him let go. Take a guess what’s going to happen.

Glossing over the fact that it’s just a movie, while a break is pretty much instantaneous when sunk in, it seemed to me that Bruce’s character was able to resist and the armbar was still contested, and he bit the guy to get him to let go. And no matter how you swing it, someone trained in jiu-jitsu could ALSO bite and gouge and what-have-you, with the added advantages that their training would give them would be able to put themselves into better positions to execute those moves and prevent someone else from doing the same. Obviously, JJ != automatic win, but it’s certainly a huge advantage. I’d guess the “winner” of the depicted scenario would be whoever kept their head and executed their techniques without losing their head from the pain of being bitten/armbarred. Apparently, the non-Bruce-Lee guy panicked first and gave up the armbar. It’s not rocket science, people.
