    Bruce Lee doesn’t show off for way too long. He just gives his opponents a longer chance to reconsider their life choices.
  • @diorama-rama297
    If only Bruce Lee could see what an impact he has made in todays world
  • @DeathEatsCurry
    She does bring up a pretty interesting point where nunchucks in media are usually depicted way more in presentation and showing off than actual fighting, moreso than most other weapons.
  • @RastaSaiyaman
    I have a friend who is an actual black belt martial arts sensei, and I showed him the 2012 version of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series, and he was blown away by the accuracy with the fighting techniques displayed. He also said that the fact that Michelangelo was given the Nunchucks for a very good reason, as they are by far the most difficult weapon to master. Splinter gave Michelangelo the Nunchucks in order to get him focussed, since he's so zany and his mind is all over the place.
  • I honestly think ALOT of ppl picked up Nunchucks because of the Great Bruce Lee, so it's Extremely hard to critique him based on that alone.
  • @k247281
    Awesome review. I also competed with nunchaku. She was at COMPETE. She won the open division. I won traditional form. She’s a great competitor. Nice to see she is doing well.
  • @Not3xactly
    The Bruce Lee Nunchuck scene in Enter The Dragon is really iconic. One of the most important and recognizable scenes of all time in all of cinema, not just action or martial arts movies.
  • @Voodoo_IC0N
    Michelangelo: the actor did it in full costume. (Limited sight and movement) I think they deserve more credit.
  • Bruce Lee is the reason people even knew what nunchucks were and the reason every one and their mama wanted some. Also, the reason people wanted to take martial arts classes.
  • So the scene in warrior is actually taking place in a large scale gang war fight between the Irish mob and the Chinese mafia so it's much more plausible him fighting from man to man and not taking them all on at once also it is an awesome show highly recommend it but the Bruce Lee scene is just so iconic
  • Another skill to complete my arsenal as a criminal, pickpocket, survivalist, sword fighter,getaway driver, spy, mob boss, bank robber ect lol. Love this channel!
  • @catbranchman01
    I don’t know, man - Bruce Lee’s an instant 10/10 on the chucks. It’s not even a question. He brought them into the popular consciousness and I still think he looks the coolest wielding them.
  • @IBooey
    I love her reaction and ratings for these but i feel like she's being generous with some of them because she's nice lol
  • One of the best commentaries in the series. Thekla keeps it real and her ratings reflect that.
  • @TenHundred
    I was waiting for the gopher-chucks clip from Kung Pao Enter the fist.
  • That reminded me of hanging out with a friend back in the mid 90s, who had a VHS recorder that could slowmo frame by frame (which was a miracle in itself). So one day, we went on to learn that whole Bruce Lee closeup sequence, from the beginning of this video. That‘s how you had to keep busy, without having internet.
  • That sneak attack from under the armpit is seriously being underrated. Extremely underrated
  • Love that you reviewed Warrior. That's a show Bruce Lee was working on before he passed and his daughter, Shannon Lee, finished it for him. Kinda feel he did better than a 7 / 10 though, but hey you're the expert.
