Bruce Lee will forever be known as a martial arts legend, but until now, most only ever saw him fight on the silver screen.

Rare footage claiming to be the only recording of Lee in a "real" martial arts bout was recently restored and uploaded to YouTube by user Beerdy - Bruce Lee Central. According to the video description, Lee's fighting one of his students, Ted Wong, and is wearing protective gear because state rules wouldn't allow them to compete without it.

Lee, who starred in such films as "Fist of Fury" and "Enter the Dragon," died in 1973 at the age of 32 due to a cerebral edema.
