UnderGround Forum >> Could Bruce lee have kicked yours ass?

Zed Wayne Zed - MMA has made the general public delusional.

I saw two morons trying to plum clinch all drunk and thwacked at a bar last week. It was so sad.

I can picture the posters on here, what they look like, what their house smells like, what their kid's haircuts are,
who would truly claim they could defeat Bruce.

My life changed after jaw-stretch Tapout guy at a live UFC.
I know you're on here somewhere, by God, don't breed!

Periodik - Alot of people forget that Bruce Lee trained extensively with Judo Gene LeBell and other high level grapplers.

So taking him down might not get you the result you're looking for...

He did not train extensively. That is a lie. If I trained bjj for six months three times a week and started telling people on here that I have extensive training people would mock the shit out of me. Why the different standard for Bruce? Also, I bet Bruce even had less training then that with Gene.

I'm sorry to disappoint you but Bruce and Gene cross-trained for over a year.

To the point that when asked how Bruce would fair in modern day MMA, LeBell said he would do great in his weight class.

Bruce also trained with Wally Jay for awhile.

Am I saying that Bruce was a black belt?

Of course not, what I'm trying to inform you on, is that if you took Bruce Lee to the ground your white belt or even blue belt would have trouble with his knowledge and explosiveness.

ajl416az - people seemingly do not understand evolution.
bruce knew what was up, but he was ahead of the curve 30 years ago, when nobody knew the first thing about fighting.

nowadays, even the average person knows what works in the street. back in the day, when he said 1 year of boxing and wrestling could overcome 20 years of martial arts experience, he was a revolutionary.

but now, a modern guy who is a talented amateur fighter has been training everything since day 1, stuff that took decades of training before Bruce found out about

bhfsim -

theshooter - "No. Back then they didn't have strength training like they do now. I would out power him"


Bruce Lee was not a big guy, but he was very strong for his size. Underestimating him would be a big mistake.

Ants are strong for there size... They still get stepped on.
.

As I said before, it depends completely on the venue. If you're standing in front of him and, say insult him, or threaten him and give him 'cause' he would just eye jab you in 0.05 - 0.08 seconds and then pick you apart.

But in the ring with gear on, and you both know you're in a 'fight', he would be hopelessly out-classed, vulnerable to the takedown and G&P of today's modern MMA fighter.

kikenyoy - 

FatBuddha - I think the answer is pretty much yes he could kick the ass of this entire forum in a street fight. By all accounts, his striking was Anderson Silva-like, and he trained his mind and body like no other.

Agreed about his striking, but what about his lack of knowledge of the ground? You are such a GJJ nuthugger that it surprises me that you'd say this. I think a purple belt with good wrestling beats him more often than not. You disagree?

eagleswhat1 - Have you ever seen Bruce Lee fight? I know I haven't...I know he just regurgitated a bunch of shit older Martial Artists said 100's of year's ago. He was a small quick man with horrible kicking mechanics and could easily be beat up in the clinch taken down and busted up badly by any decent High School Wrestler/Football Player. The 70's were all about Kung Fu and Karate in the states, so when a Bruce came in with his slick ass talk and incredible movies of course we bought all that mystic 140lb man could make shoulders touch with a one inch punch.....GROW THE FUCK UP
