    I love how you conveniently left out the post where he claimed Bruce Lee could beat anyone living or dead in a 'real life spar' which was the basis for my comments to begin with.

    I guess I'll have to repeat myself again here, this time in a simplified format. Outside of his movies, no, I don't believe there's anything much to Bruce Lee's martial arts in terms of practical application. At least not any moreso than any other style or philosophy.

    Ill end the discussion with this:

    He obviously had more skill then what he showed in his movies and IMO he can apply it in certain situations. Probably not against a trained soldier or something, but against the average Joe I bet he could of defended himself very well.

    Thanx guys. Nice replies from most of you.

    When I was a kid, Bruce Lee was a god. Always wondered what his biggest achievements were.

    Any recommendations - Kung-Fu flix worthy of buying?

    Will do. There's a kiosk in a mall near me that sells nothing but martial arts films.

    It's just fun to throw out the bait and wait for Knight to reply.

    Ah, just caught the line where someone tried to float that one.

    i really do think bruce can beat pretty much anyone...not going by movies hype i read alot about him....there is a lack of real sparrin footage tho.

    i read once bruce believed that fighting someone for longer then 2 mins was too long. anyone got any thoughts on that theory?

    One good connection to the ol' marbles will end a fight real fast. Other than for show, I don't know who'd want to fight longer than need be. Unless they get a thrill out of it.

    And Lee was a shrimp, but very strong. No way of really knowing what he could or couldn't accomplish in this day and age. I once read on an MMA forum that there is no way he could hang with today's fighters. They don't necessarily know what they're talking about, but it would be interesting to have seen.

    I'm not deep into it, by any means, but it seems to me I hear MMA fan going on a lot about who can and can't succeed in that circle. While that might be true for straight-up boxers, their claims ring a little hollow in this case.
