I tot you policeman? How come got so many fights? Share some stories leh. I'm sure many bros here like to hear.

I've always been curious how this kickback system works. Care to shed some light? Thanks.

Very well put, although I won't use the word "resent".

If Bruce Lee is black, he would never have achieved the same status and we won't even be having this conversation. Part of his charm is the fact that he is Chinese. Also, most skeptics are not skeptical of his abilities. They are skeptical of the tall stories and claims his fans created out...

I agree. It's not wing chun's problem alone. It's TMA's. That's why I think Muay Thai, Kyokushin, BJJ, etc while far from perfect or complete and nowhere as impressive as Bruce Lee, is more effective than most TMA systems. Just simple, brutal, gross motor skills.

Yes, I know about his books. I've read them. What I meant was he did not just talk, perform and then let his fans create a superman image of him. He talked and then he fought to prove his talk. That's why I believed this guy is no BS. Also, Oyama himself admitted he has lost fights and was...

I think he was just being ironical.

Finally, someone posted that infamous fight for all to see. "Grandmaster" Chueng later said in an interview that he was wearing those Chinese slippers which were slippery thus allowing himself to be taken down LOL. For Bruce Lee fans who think that his perfect technique will make him...

Actually I do not have issues with people idolizing him. But to fantasize him to be superman and then spreading their fantasies as truth is way over the top. From reading the posts, I can tell that most have never witness a real fight much less involved in one. Someone here even went to the...

Your first paragraph is spot on. Unfortunately, beyond stories of his teenage brawls. NO ONE ever had any credible account of an actual Bruce Lee street fight AFTER he became famous. Your second paragraph is spot on too. Bull killing or brick breaking has no relation to combat effectiveness...

Yes but there were few rules. More like all out fighting. Unlike TMA. Point is, inter- style bloody fights with little regards to stylistic differences existed way before Bruce Lee. When Bruce Lee gave his ideas, the world did nothing until BJJ and UFC came along. You can say he was an early...

Dun tell Papsmearer. Tell it to the other guy.

Hope the Americans do not read this or they will mark up the price of the Patriot. This is top secret info discovered by the SAF so only we should profit from it. We should buy them in bulk from the USA and re-market them as ALL- purpose missiles. Perhaps he will claim that we can recycle...

Not true. This is a myth spread by his fans. The original MMA is probably Pankration. Modern MMA in its earliest version is probably Vale Tudo from the 1920s. Just because Bruce Lee believes in crosstraining does NOT make him the influential figure in MMA. His ideas have been around for many...

LOL. I was actually agreeing with you until I came to the part about the TKD blackbelt.

My generation? Sorry, like you, I already RODed. Seems like you have comprehension problems or amnesia. It was YOU who asked "how tough can it get". I never said it was a walk in the park. I said it was tough. I will not attack you personally by calling you a bold faced liar. But it's...

Very well put. Watching Ip Man, I got deja vu midway. Having watched Fearless and countless versions of Jinwumen, I know how Ip Man is going to end. I was thinking then of how to put this phenomenon into words. But you described it far better than me.

I'm not here to give my 2 cents. Only to expose BS.

First you asked how tough can it be. Now you are agreeing with me that it's tough.

I suggest you invest in some good books on the Vietnam War and the event that finally turned the American public against it. Wow! Thanks for the revelation about the Patriot. I never knew the same missile used in the Gulf War in the anti- aircraft, anti - ballistic missile role could perform...
