Bruce Lee the Unbeatable

[Steak]

look, Bruce Lee was an excellent athlete and was a motivation for a lot of martial artists. thats fine.

but I sit here and watch the only relevant videos of his fighting technique...ie sparring and him hitting the heavy bag...and I dont see anything impressive.

and bringing up movie clips isnt doing anything for me either. I feel like it a big joke that everyones in on, but theres way too many people that believe this Bruce Lee stuff for it to be a neverending joke.

jean claude van damme should join the ufc.

he can do splits.

Jean Claude Van Damme has 4 years of fights under his belt. Not saying he could do anything in UFC, but you act like he has never fought before in his entire life.

This is exactly the kind of cynicism I've been talking about. Just because it's a movie automatically means you can't believe your lying eyes? Look at it. Bruce Lee is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. Nobody whips the entire Japanese karate school without getting so much as a scratch! I don't care if it is in the movies.

Lol damn Bruce Lee is getting ridiculed by a lot of posters on here.

Didn't Bruce Lee founded his own style of fighting that became widely used and is even used in MMA today?

And I have seen lots of videos of crazy things that Bruce Lee did. Like push ups on one finger. I believe my old man he's very honest and he has told me he was amazed at Bruce Lee when he saw him in the 70s.

The things he was able to do were inhuman-like and abnormal and it took more than an excellent athlete to do the kinds of exercises Lee use to do. My pops calls bull**** on almost everything, but he gets very serious when he talks to me about Bruce Lee. And yes he met him in person once.

Damn right. I know for a fact that in China, Lee used to lie across a bench in perfect horizontal position for 6 hours or longer. The crowd was amazed. Lee also had one of the greatest vertical jumps ever measured. That guy could literally fly. At approximately 5'6" he could jump up and kick the net on a regulation basketball goal. Lee could catch a fly in the air with chopsticks and play high level ping pong with his bare hands.

One more thing, it's funny how these world class fighters all have only good things to say about Bruce and talk about how Lee would embarrass anyone he faced without breaking a sweat(cause Demille is not the only fighter that praises Lee). Then you have these posters calling Bruce Lee a bluff, when if any of you get into a fight with these fighters that praise Lee you would most likely get embarrassed by them. And only then you'll say "Wow this guy has high praise for Bruce Lee and look what he did to me, I imagine what Bruce Lee did to them".

Exactly.

A man like Bruce would not get so many accolades for being a wimp.

The man became a mega star after being shafted for his race. And developed a following the world over who practice and teach his art.

Over 50 years later his spirit lives on in the hearts and minds of his fans and those who've watched his movies and biographies.

He was by no means unbeatable, but he was phenomenal when he was alive. Fighter, teacher, actor, author, producer, director, father, brother, and the pride of his nation.

1 aspirin> Bruce Lee

Sorry but he was weak. Segal says he would destroy Bruce Lee and he's been in way more movies and made way more money than Bruce Lee ever did. I love how people are posting films. Lets talk about films. This reminds me of gladiator where Phoenix's character would set up fights that made him look sweet, but he had no chance against the real fighter. Sorry, bags dont punch back, but neither do extras and stunt men. Bruce Lee was an actor. If he is a great boxer than I am going with Hugh Jackman because he has an adamantium skeleton, claws and super fast regeneration, either that or Keanu Reaves so long as he is in the Matrix. I have to think this is a joke. Wow, legends about a hollywood actor who died...never heard those before............Guy was an actor. Anyone here ever see him take a real shot? I mean a real punch? And look at him on the heavybag. I know 6 year olds with better form.

I never saw him get beat. When you can pick a fly out of the air with a pair of chopsticks, then you've extreme speed. Extreme. Makes Floyd Mayweather, Jr. look like John Ruiz. Had almost no body fat.

Ok. If he could pick a fly out of the air while pissing and not miss the bowl, then he had to have been the best ever.

Not even Mr. Miyagi could touch him.
