there are many rumors surrounding bruce lee and i have seen almost everyone of these vomited forth on this thread.
ill try to address as many as i can.
quote:
bruce lee beat world champion MA’s in less then 1-2round matches. he also is famous for fighting blackbelts without them even getting 1 block in (in 3 strikes).
who did he fight. name one person.
quote:
another amazing thing he couuld do is the “1 inch punch” where you can stand that close and launch someone 8 feet from a punch.
i can do the one inch punch. and if i put a chair two feet behind you you’re going to fall over it. it’s a parlor trick that is used to give visual drama to a very non-mystical body mechanic.
quote:
anyways… him and his friend and later wc grandmaster william cheung are amazing athletes and martial artists.
he’s on the bottom. that’s emin boztepe on top.
quote:
so you take 8 punches per second x 8 and you got 1600 footpounds of damage per second. mike tyson at his best hits for 300-450 pounds per second.
?
quote:
bruce lee blocks and hits him 6 times in a second.
followed by mike hitting bruce once.
quote:
Anyone who knows **** about martial arts will vote Bruce Lee.
lol
quote:
Well, I’m fairly educated in the world of martial arts and fighting. When I say that I think Mike would win, it is not without thought. However, since it is totally hypothetical, and no real answer will come, to pursue this argument is pointless.
finally some sense.
quote:
there are excersizes for iron body/palm training that martial artists like him practiced to toughen up their bodies using breathing excersizes, medicine balls and more…
i’m familiar with some of these exercises and they arent going to help you if tyson punches you in the bread basket. they are going to help you if i punch you in the bread basket.
quote:
even mike tyson with a sword would get his ass kicked.
holy ****.
quote:
many believe he was poisoned by people while he was in china who had been threatining him for his last decade for teaching kung fu and white people outside of china. thats why later masters i believe moved out of china so they could teach more freely, such as william cheung, but thats just an assumption.
actually the one challenge match he did fight that we know of for sure was against wong jak man who had already been teaching kf to whites in china town for several years. here’s a link about the fight:http://martialarts.about.com/gi/dyn...t/brucelee.html
quote:
how would a person that is in perfect health, excersizes ritually, doesn’t do drugs or alcohol …
well it’s also been said that he did indeed do drugs and alchohol. it’s all hear-say and i can’t prove anything, but have you ever heard the dude talk on an interview? my guess is that he at least ate teh cannabis.
quote:
bruce lee was the best martial artist to ever live
holy ****!
==============================================
ok all of that said i am a big fan of brue lee’s and i have a poster of him on my wall that is generally the first thing i see in the morning (for the record im not 16 … i have a 4 year old and a wife and still have that ****ing poster up). the man was awesome. he was an incredible athlete, a very good martial artist, and most likely a really decent fighter. but that doesn’t make him a superman.
one of the first things he wrote home to his friends about after moving to america was the fact that he was going to have to start doing something to compensate for his size. he said the guys in america were huge and were gonna crush him if he took a hit. i believe this is quoted in art of expressing the human body as well as other sources. as a small guy in the martial arts myself i can tell you that size definitely does matter … i know it and bruce knew it. before i got sick i was able to hit like a truck. i don’t mean hard for a little guy … i was hitting ****ing hard. but no matter how hard i can hit it’s not going to change the amount of damage im going to take from someone who outweighs me by 100lbs blasting me full force … nor would it change the amount of damage bruce would take from mike. size doesn’t have to be the winning factor in a fight but it is a factor. a big one.
bruce had tremendous power and his ridiculous speed is well noted by martial artists such as gene lebelle and chuck norris, but the odds are still stacked in incredibly in tysons favor. im not saying it’s impossible that bruce could have one, but i do think it would be highly unlikely.
i dont mean to come across as an *******, but the links and info i have provided have been provided to me over years of the same argument and i guess it’s an argument i have grown tired of.
