In Bruce Lee’s recently resurfaced image, his idea on abdominal strength read, “My strength comes from the abdomen. It is the center of gravity and the source of true power. Bruce Lee… “
Agreeing with Bruce Lee, fans commented on his support. Moreover, many also stated that modern MMA fighters today do not concentrate on abdominal strength. Take a look:
“Of course, strength of fighters come from mainly abdomen muscle. Yes, he’s right”
“So true.. so many train arms.. legs.. but never really work core!!”
A few fans wrote about Lee’s MMA expertise and about the mistakes that MMA fighters make today:
“Bruce Lee was, is, and will always be a most scientific MMA fighter!”
Another fan wrote, “Big mistake of many UFC fighters spend time for practice, but they don’t spend time for muscle and strength”
Others stressed the fact that strengthening the abdominal area was very important, “Stomach and hips. Then everything else”
“Is it just me , or does it look like the face of a lion shaped in his abdomen? Bruce the Master ..⚘️”

Lee’s passion for martial art was intensely dedicated. Despite becoming a global star, Lee never skipped his training sessions. He was quite strict with his muscle training regime. Moreover, Lee would tend to ignore his muscle strains. But he could not do so for a long time. He had to find a solution for the strains.
So, Lee began using an electrical muscle stimulator machine on the recommendation of his karate acquaintance, Mike Stone. It gave Bruce Lee minor electric shocks that would increase the “pulse and repetition” of the muscles. He was so relieved by the machine that he used it for the rest of his life.
