thanks for all ya 411 bro i appreciate that! but do u know why Bruce Lee would be burried in Seattle for? I really cant comprehend why he'd be buried in seattle?
Bruce Lee spent some time in Seattle and when he was alive he told his wife how much he liked the placed and enjoyed life there or something like that. I dont think he said he wanted to be buried there, because noone knew he was going to die suddenly. He might not have wanted to be buried there for all we know.
But his wife Linda Lee imagined he wanted to be there after his death.
very interesting point bro! cuz it RAINS like a mother'f'er in SEATTLE!!!!!!
the girls of Seattle are wack, ugly, fat, and behind the times. they really think the Grundge scene is still hot. not too far up north the Canada chicks look pretty nice tho!
im talking about proof yes, because people claim he is the greatest martial artist off all time, and know ive not been shown any evidence on his scocalled competition.
None.
There's a couple of pretty interesting things that he did that I give him credit for......Weapons use and forms perhaps.
But we're talking actual Martial Arts.
This is like a guy who's never worked on a car his entire life....but studies to be a mechanic and becomes pretty knowledgeable. How is anyone going to know this outside of reading his books if he never works on a car?
It's ridiculous. I think if you're going to call him a Guru then leave it at that. Lets not talk about how deadly he is because that just makes me laugh.
