An unnamed four-year-old Chinese boy is on his way to becoming social media's latest viral sensation as he displays his skill using the Japanese martial art weapon nunchuck with a skill like the original Kung Fu master, deceased actor Bruce Lee.

In the Chinese video-sharing site tudou.com, the cute tyke's two-minute video has garnered more than 160,000 hits. The same video has been reposted in YouTube and is beginning to get noticed and shared too.

The little boy has copied the moves of his idol Bruce down to the yellow and black jumpsuit that the martial arts icon wore in his 1972 blockbuster movie Game of Death. Proof of this is shown in the video as the little Bruce Lee displays how well he handles not one but two nunchucks, while the movie clips of his idol plays on the background on a giant flat screen TV.


The boy and Bruce's moves are simultaneous like they're performing synchronized Kung Fu, expertly wielding the ancient Japanese weapon made of two pieces of wood and joined by a chain, which Lee popularized in his movies such as The Fist of Fury and Way of the Dragon, reports The Telegraph.

Many Tudou.com users were delighted with the boy's moves and foresee a bright future for the kid as a Kung Fu practitioner when he grows older. But his growing fan base may not have to wait that long to see more of him because a TV producer reportedly wants to have the boy wonder - dubbed as the reincarnation of Bruce Lee - appear on TV on a regular basis, reports China.org.
