I posted a diary with a video purportedly showing Bruce Lee playing ping pong with nunchakus. I should have done more research. It turns out the video is a fake, an advertising gimmick produced long after Lee's death. So I've taken it down.
My apologies.
Here is the debunking (pointed to by Kossack kbecker).
UPDATE: Three people have emailed me begging to know what was in the original diary. Below the fold I have posted all but the parts related to the video (which is easy enough to find on YouTube for people who are interested).
The original diary without the two paragraphs related to the video:
And now a little change of pace especially for the holidays.
Twenty-four years ago, I began studying a form of martial arts called Jeet Kune Do taught by Steve Grody. He, in turn, was a student of Dan Inosanto, who was one of the three people who had the imprimatur of Bruce Lee to teach his special blend of martial arts. Eventually I got to study briefly with Inosanto but I was never even close to good enough to become one of his regular students. Lesson for the future: Don't start your training at age 44. (Inosanto is now 78 and still teaching.)
Guro Dan Inosanto
Lee despised what he called the "classical mess" of traditional martial arts. He went against that in big ways, arguing against the rigid approach of the existing masters and adopting a pragmatic use-what-works-get-rid-of-what-doesn't melding approach that violated the old rules of styles like wing chun and kung fu.
For example, Lee studied fencing and added a few of its techniques to open-hand fighting. He transformed modern martial arts.
Since he died, some have tried to do to Lee what has been done to other icons throughout history. They've worked to turned his flexible, pragmatic, all-embracing approach into another rigid system that would have appalled him. Inosanto, Grody and others with a direct connection to Lee aren't among them. They have maintained his open-mindedness about using what works and added techniques learned from Filipino kali, Brazilian capoeira and French savate, among others.
In my dozen years of study and training, I learned an immense amount. But the key thing I learned—or relearned from my Outward Bound days 30 years earlier—is that you can do things you thought amazing if not impossible if you put your mind to them and train your body accordingly.
Nobody has excelled Lee's genius, skill and discipline in this regard.
