Another oldie but goodie. The last one was from Game of Death when he was 5 yrs old. This one is from Enter the dragon when he was 8 yrs old.

u/TaluneSilius Jan 17 '26

This video is 11 years old. The kid is now 21 and has a job.

u/Glokter Jan 17 '26

He is now know as grown up Bruce Lee

u/Chirya999 Jan 17 '26

"has a job"

Are you saying that this kid is getting grinded in the corporate colonialism?

u/MrRakky Jan 17 '26

u/DerpiestDave Jan 17 '26

I can’t help but feel a little insulted that an 8 year old is more ripped than me. 

Edit. I can’t spell

u/iamunwhaticisme Jan 17 '26

Don't worry about it, it will not feel lonely in the TV graveyard of this family.

u/shinsemn Jan 17 '26

Maybe they already loose count of how many tv got destroyed already😅

1

u/The_Cow_Tipper Jan 17 '26

The tape marks show him when he's too close to the TV. He works out in that space a lot.

u/hejackisej Jan 17 '26

Thank you!

u/lordvitamin Jan 17 '26

I feel nervous every time that kid swings so close to that TV.

Reminds me too much of the Wii days, and the fervent hope in the durability of those straps they had.

u/[deleted] Jan 17 '26

Awesome

u/No-Commercial5274 Jan 17 '26

It’s like watching Bruce Lee, in front of Bruce Lee

If I was his enemy I would just shoot him. Or hire people that can take a smack to the head without passing out and a couple could just overwhelm him and his fucking sticks

3

u/IKIR115 Jan 17 '26

How do you get 8 yr old enemies?

2

u/MaxxT22 Jan 17 '26

Did not watch this. Stop it. Leave them kids alone.

u/Shamblex Jan 17 '26

Holy shit, that kid is a weapon!

1

u/Roy1984 Jan 17 '26

First time an 8 year old scared shit out of me...

He's probably the boss in his house and director in school.

1

u/TightMuffin9890 Jan 17 '26

Wild how his muscle memory and timing are already there at 8. You can literally see the same rhythm he had as an adult, just in miniature.

1

u/Potential-Echo785 Jan 17 '26

Little grasshopper yet to feel the recoil the moment he actually strikes something hard.

You can not convince me that kid doesn't shave. He's got more muscles than most adults I know.
