The scene where Bruce Lee captures a cobra and stuffs it into a sack

In reality, is a top-conditioned human with reflexes as quick and highly reactive as Lee's were fast enough to handle a cobra, the way a mongoose can?

You make a good point, but you should remember that this is the movie where Bruce Lee, from a standing start, leaps 10 feet in the air to sit in a tree.

Not necessarily a top conditioned man. Most decent martial artists have faster reflexes than a snake. And I mean real martial arts, not McDojo students.

Average snake strike speed is 3 m/s. Average punch speed 9 m/s. If you can block a punch, snaes are easy.

Dude - youtube. You'd be surprised how slow snakes actually are. Their main advantage is surprise.

SO, let's see if I get this straight - you write some asinine, insulting comment to my scientifically corroborated statement, to which I respond very nicely and I am the one going on your ignore list?
