    I don't think ? truly realize.... Bruce Lee was superhuman

    ? that Dragon: Bruce Lee Story.. the true stories of Bruce Lee's physical prowess have no room for exaggeration

    Bruce's fighting style was "martial arts" in its purest form.. formless

    he beat traditional fighters because he didn't do all the posing and telegraphed strikes.... he hit people hard and fast from any and every angle
    and you can't block strike that you can't see coming

    and lets not forget Bruce was 10 times stronger than a man his size should be, he had control over his reflexes and he had a high pain threshold from the strict exercise regiment he put himself through

    they said he could snatch a penny out yo hand and replace it with a ? dime before you could close your fist

    I believe that in his lifetime Bruce Lee did reach HIS goal of peak physical perfection when he was in his prime

    I'm not tryin to nut ride the man, but you gotta give dude his props... he transformed himself into the fighter he always wanted to be

    yeah he the GOAT, and I don't think any fighter in history could beat him in a fair one

    I heard Bruce Lee trained his cheeks and jaws and could bite down with the ferocity of a pitbull. He was unmatched in the dog fighting arena's as well. He is the greatest dog fighting champion who never fought a dawg.


    G.O.A.T. Roooof!!!

    I watched a documentary on Bruce where they had video footage of him losing a fight on a rooftop in china so he did have losses and wasn't unbeatable

    In my humble opinion i believed Bruce Lee accomplished what a human need to Master physically and spiritually that when accomplished what he need to do on earth it was his time to move on.

    Don't forget, if Bruce were still alive, his fighting skills would be far advanced then it was back then.

    Far as Steven, he runs like a ? , so I can't take him seriously, plus anyone can look superior at martial arts when your human props stand still and fight back in slow motion.

    True! I'm talking about before old age crept up on him. Can you imagine how advance Jimi Hendrix would of been at his guitar playing, too?

    if were talking films yes he is...he set a standard

    if we talkin actual fighting there are plenty of men who have testified to gettin knocked out or who has seen bruce knock other people out in street fights or sparring to validate his trillness

    lil known fact is bruce lee used to be a street fighter in china. him and his martial arts class mates used to meet up with other dojos and fight ...one day he knocked the ? outta some kid ...turns out the kid was the son of the police chief and he came looking for bruce ....bruce father gave him money and sent him off to seattle

    I dont think anyone can name the greatest martial artist off camera of all time....but can anyone vouch for segals trillness....sylvester stallone said he didnt want it with van damme at his house

    GOAT thread.

    Martial arts is a life style/philosophy its not about trophies and ? , that ? pollutes the art
    and invites nothing but vain glory hounds doing the minimal to receive public recognition.

    Bruce Lee was one of the GOATS and there are many out there. His GOAT status came because he
    lived his life as a master student so his skills would seemingly never peak or become stale and predictable
    always reforming and evolving.

    Thats all that can really be said. I never saw him fight...so I must rely on the testimony of men who experienced
    him NH.
