An 8 year-old boy from Japan has found himself becoming a viral sensation after he managed to recreate the moves of martial arts legend Bruce Lee, who is his idol.

Ryusei “Ryuji” Imai is a little boy from Nara who was able to recreate all of Lee’s moves from the iconic nunchuck scene of martial arts movie Enter the Dragon. Ryuji has loved watching Lee’s movies since he was an infant, and he has been training to be just like him since he was four years-old.

Ryuji has gained a massive online following by posting photos and videos of himself training to be just like Lee. His father explained that he trains for 90 minutes every morning at 6am. He then continues his training after he gets home from school by running for almost an hour and then completes two hours of kicks and nunchuck training.

In the video below this story, you’ll see Ryuji appear on the Australian version of “Little Big Shots.” He blows the crowd away with his moves in the clip, which has since gone viral and been viewed over ten million times.

“What’s scary is he’s already as fast as Bruce Lee. He’s only going to get better,” one social media user wrote, with another user adding, “Can’t wait to see him in Hollywood blockbusters!”

“I cant believe his strength at such a young age!!!” a third person wrote. “I cant imagine how strong he’ll be in the future!!! So strong and lovable.”

Check out his moves in the video below!
