“In the 70’s That’s What It Was: Bruce Lee” – Mike Tyson Once Shared Crazy “House Invasion” Stories

“Water can flow, and water can crash. So, be water, my friend.” He stood in the center of the human labyrinth; they thought they had him in an inescapable circle. Bruce Lee steadily took his jacket off, his eyeballs alarmed and awake. Just when he had bent a little, the first one approached in a fury. A round kick or a Mawashi-Geri to the body, followed by a couple of fiery Ushiro-Geri or spinning back kicks. Like Lee, himself would say, “The Dragon whips his tail!”

In the ’70s, Bruce Lee was the epitome of Martial Arts, and almost everyone in love with fighting worshipped him in one way or the other. Mike Tyson was no exception, and he once revealed his personal and exuberant encounter with Bruce Lee movies.

“In the ’70s, that’s what it was: Bruce Lee. Anybody from New York would know this is true, especially from Brooklyn. We would skip school and go to 42nd Street, Times Square,” said Tyson.

“One person will pay to go to a movie, open the back door, and let the rest of us in. We get to the movie theater, we watch karate. Next thing you know, we start getting up, get out of our seats. We see somebody there, we said, ‘whoa’, and just give him a kick,” he added.

Here is what Tyson told his guests a little later and some iconic scenes of Bruce Lee.

Mike Tyson narrates the old stories of robbing and stealing

While talking about the old days, Tyson mentioned how they would steal and also invade people’s houses. As per his conversation, he seemed to enjoy it and the idea of robbing still sparks love.

“I’m fortunate, living well, fam. I used to rob people, I still love it. Manipulate to pick their pockets, just go to their pockets and just run.”

At this, when the guest proudly remarked that they provided house invasions too, the following is what Tyson said:

“We did a lot of houses. We would have a kid and I learned this from the Jamaican and the West Indian guy. They would have a key that doesn’t have no affiliation with the lock depth. We’re breaking in the door and they would just jam and play with it, and all of a sudden, the door would open, pop!”

Well, that goes for Tyson’s experience with Bruce Lee and robbery in the early days. For the sole purpose of your entertainment, here are a few Bruce Lee scenes.

The fight at the Dojo: Fist of Fury

Mentioned at the beginning of the article was the iconic scene from this blockbuster movie released in 1972. Bruce Lee’s martial arts was impregnated with hot blood and a thirst for vengeance and pride. He was fast, his striking was mean, and it was complete bravery that bulged through his heart. Marvelous choreography: it was many against one.

Especially the part where Lee rolls on the ground and picks his nun chucks up. He toyed with everyone at the dojo, and it was almost as if he did some sort of break dance while he lay on the ground and hit everyone on their ankles. The message was, as he conveyed in the scene, that the Chinese were no sick men of Asia.

Gladiators at colosseum: Bruce Lee vs. Chuck Norris

This epic scene was from The Way of the Dragon, yet another masterpiece by Bruce Lee. The first few rounds went to Norris as Bruce Lee got tagged to the point he even showed bruises. However, soon Dragon was on his feet and paddling all around Norris with his iconic cha-cha footwork.

From this onward, it was all Lee. He mixed it up, went high, and then low. In conclusion, it was the teaching of yet another lesson – when all is at rest, and every door seems to be closed, get up on your feet and just keep moving. If you are honestly searching for the answer, you don’t have to look, the answer will find you. Just be on your toes and keep moving.

Boards don’t hit back! The dismantling of O’Hara

To describe the scene in one line is to again quote Lee. “Emotional content. Not anger.” Although he was fighting the murderer of his sole sister, Lee held himself back from anger. Emotion hardly overwhelmed him. Instead, he made use of emotion as if he pulled the strings on it, and controlled the moment in life. Although he was fighting a murderer who has taken away his dear one, Bruce Lee approached the fight like it was a game.

Away from fear, honor, and responsibilities, fights are more fun when they are approached as if they are but games. Bruce Lee did just that. With all his seriousness and focus, he approached the fight like it was but a playful contest in which only he was the boss.
