Why is Bruce Lee over-mythical?
Undeniably, Bruce Lee is indeed a great martial artist, who has exerted considerable influence in the world and the history of martial arts in China. He was also the earliest martial arts pioneer who combined modern scientific system fitness training with martial arts training. Systematic physical training made him a powerful fighter in the martial arts field at that time. His theory that Wushu should be trained according to actual combat, and that tedious and flashy routines and movements should be removed, has a great influence on the future development of Wushu. In a word, Bruce Lee is a milestone in both movies and martial arts.

But today, many irrational dragon fans have elevated Bruce Lee to the altar, boasting and exaggerating his fighting capacity, and often comparing him with Tai Sen, a top heavyweight boxer in modern times. All kinds of so-called analysis seem to make Bruce Lee a super invincible martial artist who kills everything. This kind of analysis and touting with emotional prejudice distorts the facts, and it is not conducive to the fans' correct understanding of Bruce Lee.

According to the analysis of seeking truth from facts, compared with the current boxers, Bruce Lee's strength is really not very strong. Don't compare with those top heavyweight boxers, even if you compare with professional players of the same level, there is not much advantage. Bruce Lee is indeed an avid martial arts enthusiast, obsessed with martial arts and highly savvy, but he has many congenital defects, such as short stature, small skeleton, myopia, short legs, flat feet and only one testicle; In contrast, the current boxers are the best among the best, and they are all excellent players with outstanding physical fitness after various tests. Then, Bruce Lee practiced until he was twenty-five years old, which was inefficient traditional martial arts. He rarely did special physical training, so that he was almost exhausted after playing with the martial artist named Huang for a few minutes. Then he made up his mind to innovate what he had learned before, began to explore and summarize systematic and efficient training methods, and absorbed the essence of modern fighting techniques to improve his system. However, it should be noted that Bruce Lee was twenty-five years old at that time. Under the pressure of life, he had to keep looking for a job and make movies at the same time. Only six or seven years after his death, he didn't have much time for systematic training, and he still practiced while groping. By the time his training methods were mature, it was the early 1970s, that is, the end of his life. Nowadays, fighters are basically selected by coaches before the age of ten and trained systematically and scientifically under professional guidance. By the twenties, the physical quality and skills are basically mature players. Such training efficiency is by no means comparable to that of Bruce Lee.

There may be die-hard fans who will argue that Bruce Lee is a super genius. He trains for ten minutes more efficiently than others for a few days. But today, when modern science debunks false myths, we'd better not believe those myths and legends that violate basic physics and scientific common sense. Bruce Lee is great because he innovated martial arts in his own time and put forward advanced martial arts theory, which promoted the development of martial arts in the future. Because people of his time were practicing traditional martial arts, Bruce Lee, who was the first to receive systematic physical training, stood out. However, if all kinds of professional fighting competitions prevail today, Bruce Lee may not be able to play a good record. Therefore, Bruce Lee's success belongs to his era and cannot be copied.

Today, we'd better treat him objectively and rationally, and don't myth him. Otherwise, just like Master Gaga and Master Wang Zhanjun today, they were once deified infinitely, but the lies and myths were exposed, leaving only embarrassing and collapsed beliefs.
