If it's not a joke, I think it's kind of sad.

The guy obviously has athletic ability, and could probably do well as a serious martial artist.

If he's serious, the saddest thing is the way he seems to be trying to "be" Bruce Lee, even down to doing his best to resemble him physically. Lee himself, in an interview, said "be yourself." I don't think he could like this kind of thing, if he were alive to see it.

I also think, that this guy must have some self esteem issues, if that is a serious clip, and not an intentional parody. It's very unhealthy to try to be someone else.

Wow, 2-finger push-ups, very impressive. However, in one scene, he was wearing a Taekwondo dobok (uniform), which is anti-BL as he emphasized street fighting instead of TMA's. But overall, he did a pretty good job mimicking the martial arts legend.

LOL! This kid's got way too much time on his hands, he must've watched Return of the Dragon and other Bruce Lee movies a thousand times to get the choreography down.

I agree, he should just be himself instead of trying to be like Bruce. The world already had a Bruce Lee.

No no Micheal thank you.

I enjoyed writing my thoughts almost as much as you enjoyed reading them.
