Meet the mini Bruce Lee

Eight-year-old Ryusei Imai, aka Mini Bruce Lee, poses like his idol at home in Nara City, Japan.

A martial artist is perfectly imitating the lightning fast fighting techniques of Bruce Lee – and he’s just eight years old. Child prodigy Ryusei Imai amazed his parents when they saw him start to swing his kid-sized nunchucks in time with his idol on screen when he was only four years old. Now, Ryusei, from Nara City, Japan, is throwing fists and high kicks like a mini master. One handed press ups, walking on his fists, pull ups and forward flips are just some of the moves in Ryusei’s repertoire – as in order to achieve speed, agility and control akin to that of the iconic fighter, Ryusei must train like few other eight-year-olds. I’ve watched his movies since I was one year old and tried to be like him. I made a lot of mistakes at the start, like I couldn’t get the exact timing. Sometimes I was too fast, sometimes too slow, but I’m getting better and better.
