Bruce Lee gave martial arts a fresh perspective with his fighting style. He created techniques that were fast and effective in knocking down opponents in less than a minute. Lee also mastered the use of several martial art weapons like kali sticks, swords, and bo staffs. Recently, a resurfaced image of the master using his favorite martial art weapon made the internet remember his legacy.

Surprisingly, Lee was not a fan of this martial art weapon. Dan Insanto, Lee?s martial art teacher, revealed in the documentary,?I am Bruce Lee?that the legend believed Nunchucks were ?worthless pieces of junk.? However, Insanto changed his perspective toward the weapon during the training session for Fist of Fury. Lee had to use Nunchucks in a few scenes in his 1972 film. Hence, Insanto taught him the weapon?s techniques. In three months, Lee grew highly fascinated by it as he became a pro at maneuvering the weapons.?
