In Enter the Dragon, Bruce Lee defeats one opponent using 'The Art of Fighting Without Fighting', and this is based on a real martial arts legend.
A famous scene in the Bruce Lee martial arts classic Enter the Dragon is based on a real-life Japanese legend. After building himself into a star in Hong Kong with movies like The Big Boss, Fist of Fury, and The Way of the Dragon, Bruce Lee finally got his big break in Hollywood as the eponymous hero in 1973's Enter the Dragon.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT With Bruce Lee being the leading man in the Enter the Dragon cast, the movie is also a deeply philosophical movie about the nature and meaning of martial arts. One of many scenes to exemplify this is Lee's encounter with the belligerent Parsons , who challenges Lee to a fight while the two are on a boat traveling to the island tournament of Han .
Enter the Dragon uses this exact scenario when Parsons inquires about Lee's fighting style, which he describes as "The art of fighting without fighting". After Parsons demands a demonstration, Lee suggests they use a rowboat tied to the boat they're riding to go to a nearby island, in order to have more room.
The Importance Of The Art Of Fighting Without Fighting In Enter The Dragon In Enter the Dragon, Parsons is clearly shown to be a bully looking for a fight, and it would certainly be all too easy for Lee to deliver him a much deserved comeuppance in an actual fight. However, Lee is able to teach Parsons a lesson without actually hurting him by dragging his boat through the sea.
In the situations both Bokuden and Lee found themselves in, pride and self-righteousness could have led them to physically defeat their enemies, but both are thinking ahead. Without actually resorting to violence, both Tsukahara Boduken and Lee humble their opponents with a lesson about what martial arts is not about.
