That's pretty quick, but Bruce Lee was the father of Jujitsu. Without him, martial arts would've taken a long long time to get here.

He's pretty quick (although he's not fully extending all of his strikes), but as quick as Bruce? I don't think so. What I find interesting is how accurately he mimics Bruce in an effort to make himself seem faster than he actually is. Consciously we all know Bruce's name is synonymous with Martial Arts, but many people are unaware that he's written just as deeply on our subconscious, and imitating his movements will certainly give more of an appearance of speed.

He wouldn't last a solid minute.

I think you're referring to Jeet Kune Do, right? Jujitsu was about the only thing he was lacking.

Jujitsu itself is simply un-armed combat, and Bruce was quite proficient at such, but I wouldn't call him the father of the art.

Nice gif from Return of the Dragon, and Bob Wall was truly "owned" standing in front of Bruce Lee. Then again, who wasn't?

all depends if that footage is authentic or not.

Bruce Lee was very fast, so fast that he had to slow his technique down so the camera's could catch it on film. Being a karate guy myself, no one beats Bruce Lee in any category because almost every one strives to achieve his style
