Actually my judgement of his speed comes from demonstration videos he did with other fighters or interviewers, not his movies. But I've never seen a video of him with timers, so if anybody has the actual facts to prove me right or wrong please share,
Watch Return of the Dragon, he was definitely a badass...Lebell even said Bruce knew subs but striking is better for Hollywood...did any BJJ/Gracie/Machados ever step up and challenge him??
That article just bitch slapped, owned, and humiliated tsunaminw ......
how so exactly?
i know guys he trained with, seen video, trained with his students, used his speed timers and impact meters, seen, done and taught the 1-3 inch punch, and know he got his acting jobs after teaching producer sterling siliphant.
maybe you just choose to hear the 5% you like here, and ignore the 95% that shows with proof you are full of shit.
so please tell me how i got owned? or do you need the attention taken off of you for being a trolling turdboy?
be specific please
lol @ listening to people who profit from talking about their relationship with Bruce Lee, about Bruce Lee. how fucking stupid.
10 pages. Great troll job by ts.

ts = thread starter, homo
insano started the thread, do your homework and read fool.
nice trolling job btw, your profile says you are here to troll. should have looked at it before taking the bait. you got me
ddinks - Whatever stopped Bruce lee from paying a few books entering a tournament and making a bunch of tough guy ex marine blackbelts look like fools? He had no qualms about entering a tournament and beating guys up IN A MOVIE.
Why not take on a guy like Legendary traditional martial artist and tough guy JiM Harrison? This guy would have probably no qualms about having a full contact fight with Lee.
Excellent question.
Simple answer: Bruce Lee was NOT a badass or a real fighter like all the JKD nerds like to think.
One man put his money where his mouth is: Rorian Gracie
Richard6741 -ddinks - Lots of todays mma guys are competing are testing themselves in boxing, kickboxing and bjj, grappling tournaments beside official mma matches. How come Bruce never entered a weekend tournament to show the technical superiority of his style? Not everything he was espousing needed to be validated only by a streetfight.
If he were alive, we could ask him.
Just to guess: he probably believed that preparing for these competitions developed bad habits for his real passion, streetfighting.
Lmao @ this.
1) Bruce lee would probably be the first to sat that his Passion was defiantly NOT streetfighting.
2) Even if it were and he did make such a ludicrous claim by this logic you could go to any city and ask around the streets who the local badass is and fully expect the man to be a better fighter than someone who regularly competed in fighting competitions because the local badass's "passion" was street fighting.
3) Competition makes a person a better fighter. It is easy to add biting, eye gouging and nut shots into a fight even if not practiced or used in competition.. It is impossible to add good technique, timing and fight awareness to a fight where none is practiced or used in competition. In addition competition forces a person to face other trained adversaries. A Streetfight on the other hand just forces you to face another wannabe tough. Ergo. The man who competes will handily defeat the man who doesn't should they meet in a "streetfight".
shanoknowsmma - Bruce Lee was a pioneer of MMA...i don't care what anyone says.

THIS^^^
This thread is a bucket of fail.
GreenLight -mrzipplokk - 10 pages. Great troll job by ts.
It seems like a troll job but I think he's just that stupid. Listen to him. He says retarded shit and claims he "bitchslapped" owned or humiliated someone on here and he doesn't wait for a response. He gets himself going on his own imagination. He's a true classic internet warrior. He's out there dude.
I believe you may be correct my friend.
This is funny.
bsrizpac -GreenLight -bsrizpac -GreenLight -Captain Insano X -GreenLight - One thing we all know for sure is that physically he was unbelievably athletic. On physical terms, the dude was sick.
So what......didn't Tim Sylvia just beat up the strongest man in the world a few months ago?
You're changing subjects again.
NO he is not. you are.
Bruce Lee fans when proven that he never fought or competed against anyone will point to his physical fitness.
he just showed the physical fitness doesn't necessarily mean he can fight. As the Polish strongman fail proves.
You waited like 3 days to say that. Especially when I CLEARLY never said that his speed and conditioning proved indicated he could fight. That means your homeboy X was changing subjects. He pretended I said something other than what I said just so he could score another imaginary internet victory for himself. Hence, he changed subjects and you're a jackass for jumping on his bandwagon. You all up in tha Kool Aid and don't even know tha flava!!!
Uh, that's not my homeboy. I don't care about him. Just the truth. You're getting emotional about your idol yet again. Again I've said over and over he wasn't a fighter or at the very least there's doubt that he ever fought anyone other than Wong Jack Man in a contest anyone can remember.
3 days= I have other things to do than prove your logic fails yet again.
Speed and conditioning = fighting? Okay. Guess that means most NBA stars, NFL stars, Hockey guys are automatically great fighters right?
My point still stands. Your only proof he was a great fighter is showing off attributes that tons of athletes have but don't get the ball swinging Bruce does as the baddest fighter ever.
I won't even get into how you and others perpetuate lies about made up boxers with fake names like "Gary Elms" that Bruce "beat". Or that he entered and beat wrestling champions.
We'll just leave that bullshit alone for now.
Like Frank Dux! lol
MR. Combatively
bsrizpac -
Boxing- check Bruce Lee's Wiki page. On it there is this:
"Lee defeated three-time champion British boxer Gary Elms by way of knockout in the third round in the 1958 Hong Kong Inter-School amateur Boxing Championships by using Wing Chun traps and high/low-level straight punches.[39]"
Bullshit. This lie has been told over and over again. there has never been any 3 time world champion boxer named Gary Elms. MADE UP NAME.
MADE UP. Just like Ricksons 400-0 list.
Bruce Lee fans will buy ANY bullshit about him that makes him sound awesome.
/thread
Bruce Lee was not, nor ever has been a bad ass.
All people can scream is "but he was in shape"!
Well, so is Richard Simmons..........
to say he was a pioneer might be a stretch.
he was a great martial artist, but what he did was not new.
his training philosophy was done before when kajukenbo formed. they fell apart due to politics the same way jkd has.
but it wasnt a new idea.
maybe he was a pioneer in breaking tradition as a chinese man teaching round eyes.
BRUCE LEE WAS A BADASS
