“He’s a Monster”: Anderson Silva Left Fans Stunned With Near Perfect Display of Bruce Lee’s Signature Skills

Few figures enjoy the respect and influence that the late great Bruce Lee had in the field of martial arts and MMA legend Anderson Silva recently confirmed it. In a recent Instagram post shared by his son, Kalyl Silva, we can see the 47-year-old wield the nunchaku. Despite his age, ‘The Spider’ looked rather fluid and comfortable using Lee’s signature weapon. His skills also earned him commendations from several Bruce Lee fans, while some others compared him to the martial arts icon.

The weapon gained popularity after Lee’s trailblazing action scenes in his films and became a part of Bruce Lee’s identity on the global stage. Lee popularized the weapon through his show ‘The Green Hornet’ (the 1960s), and his films ‘The Fist of Fury’ (1972) and ‘Enter the Dragon’ (1973).

Fans comparing Silva to Lee from the mere use of the nunchaku speaks to the deeply ingrained association between the late actor and the weapon.
