Nathaniel Morales

Nicholas Rodriguez
We already know from Tarinkinos film that Bruce Lee was a pussy who was easily out skilled. Nothing more than a magician.

Jackson Myers
Based Hal
Easton Moore
I'd go with the /fit/ guy
Samuel Ross
Isn't Bruce Lee supposed to be one of the founders of MMA or something? Took the traditional martial arts like kung fu/TKD and got rid of the flashy, impractical bullshit and all that?
Lucas Miller
>fantasy
Tarantino literally says that his OC can beat Bruce Lee.
Nolan Hernandez
then why did they use real world names
Anthony Scott
>why does fiction use real life cities
Jace Richardson
No
MMA is based on modern scientific martial arts like Taekwando and Karate
Kungfu is garbage based on pseudo scientific shit like "chi" energy. It's closer to what we call Tae-Chi. More like dance than fighting.
In the movie Cliff even calls Lee a "dancer" which is the traditional take.
> inb4 chinks say it's real
If Kung Fu is real, why isn't it an olympic sport?
Mason Perry
Jackie Chan
Asher Ramirez
he was a pioner yes
scientific martial arts like Taekwando and Karate
KyS faggot

>MMA is based on modern scientific martial arts like Taekwando and Karate
MMA is based on using different martial arts and combining them in one. As such, Lee is the progenitor of MMA as it is currently know because he popularized that philosophy. He studied wrestling, karate, boxing and a number of other shit and urged others to do the same. Before that others just concentrated on a single sport.

OP here. Sorry about this post. I'm over 70 years old now, and my mind is going.

lee was a 90lbs chink, average trucker flubber would rip his head off
Charles Lopez
This is true. Doesn't mean that Lee was the toughest guy around, just that he was hugely influential to martial arts.
Jace Nelson
>MMA is based on modern scientific martial arts like Taekwando and Karate
Modern MMA doesn't include karate or taekwando at all, it's all about boxing, kickingboxing, greco-roman wrestling and bjj
all the eastern meme martials got exposed in the early 90s when the sport was only getting off its feet
Wyatt Walker
Right. Fights are about size. Lee was a good choreographer/dancer. A 5' 10" average Joe with a few months of boxing practice could've beat Lee

Bruce Lee was pull up maxed for the big screen. His body doesn’t look very functional. How many fights did he win again?
Henry Smith
Probably Sneed. Or even chuck's fat ass.
Christopher Edwards
Yes he is, via his philosophy of martial arts. He said learn everything, keep what works, ignore what doesn't. He said be a fit athlete first, he said spar instead of practicing forms, and focus on fundamentals. He also thought boxing was the best base for martial arts.
Lincoln Miller
ELECTRIC BOOGALOO SPAGHETTIDOO! THIS, SO MUCH THIS! IT'S TOO DEEP FOR THESE GUYS! TAKE MY UPVOTE KIND SIR!!!

As much as the guy is a dumbass some eastern arts are effective. Muay Thai is the staple art for kickboxing and has been further developed into Dutch kickboxing. BJJ is developed form of original Japanese JiuJitsu. Judo is also Japanese and look at what Rhonda Rhousey was able to accomplish with that one trick judo ability. Many fighters have also adopted Shotokan Karate (specifically this variant. The other suck.). Mcgregor uses a karate stance. Then we also have Taekwondo which if used properly has the most powerful kicks out of any other MA out there and there are pros using the kicking from that art to great effect.
The only Eastern Martial Arts that actually ate crockpot shit are mostly Chinese forms like Mantis style, shoalin, Wushu, Hapkido crap, ninjitsu. Any of that fancy flipping shit.

Exactly. Those martial arts were nothing but glorified dance moves. MMA fighters learned fast fights almost always go to the ground. There’s no ref pulling you off and standing you back up.

Holy shit you are so fucking stupid. I can't even.

Yes. Bruce Lee revolutionised martial arts by integrating all the ancient styles, including kung fu, TKD, and karate, but also western boxing, savate, and even fencing. He observed similarities between all the various international fighting styles, and pruned away the irrelevant elements. His style 'Jeet Kune Do' was essentially modern, completely pragmatic, and rational. However, he was also a salesman, so he 'sold' kung fu in the cinemas as a mystical oriental tradition purely because it sold tickets to American audiences. There were two different dimensions to his personality: the effective fighter, and the showman. He was superb at both. If you want further information, read 'The Tao of Jeet Kune Do'.
Connor Hernandez
Bruce Lee wouldn’t even be a Champ if he fought in MMA. He’d do some flying kick that be countered and either taken to the ground and arm barred or take kneecap in the face
Christian Morgan
I have no idea who the guy on the right is.
Jayden Ward
he died in a nursing home and that is his legacy
