Best Bruce Lee impression ever, by four-year-old Ryusei Imai

Bruce Lee is arguably the most iconic martial arts figure ever. But four-year-old Ryusei Imai has made himself famous with his neary eerily spot-on impression of Lee.

From the distinctive black and yellow jump suit (which Lee popularized in his movie Game of Death) to his nunchaku skills, Ryusei is simply awesome to watch.

Bruce Lee is the most influential figure in martial arts in the last 50 years. When he started martial arts, it was a collection of countless strictly organized and controlled contradictory sets of beliefs and practices, each of which believed itself to be clearly superior to the others. It was, truly, a field in which everyone was better than average.

He left a legacy that truth in unarmed combat lay outside of fixed systems. He showed the world a contest with fighters in fingered gloves, using strikes, takedowns, and tapping out to submissions on the ground.

Mixed martial arts is his legacy.

Countless figures cite Bruce Lee as their inspiration, including the UFC G.O.A.T. Anderson Silva. And to the list, add When Ryuji Imai. It is a rare martial artist who has not at some point mimicked Lee in some fashion. But none have done quite as well as Ryusei.

The Japanese boy made his first TV appearance on a South Korean show, and told the host he wanted to be Bruce Lee. He explained he had been watch Bruce Lee movies for as long as he could remember, and that now his father, Ryuji Imai, was teaching him.

His father provided further details. The boy started watching Bruce Lee movies when he was one years old. He started practicing with nunchaku when when he was three. And by four, he became Mini Bruce Lee.
