Hey Brian, Thanks for that. I don't know if there is an argument or not, but I was speaking primarily in reference to these quotes from the first post and the post before mine. Thanks, Patrick

They can only be more fun with the Wii remove. The last one (on the Wii) was awesome.

Interesting thread. Thanks for starting it, sensei8. Obviously not a martial artist here, but it would seem to me that throwing around a word like "best" when talking about martial artists does a disservice to great martial artists, including Mr. Lee. There is no best martial artist - the arts are far too varied for that. There aren't stats, rushing yards, touchdowns, home runs, three pointers, etc. Even the competitions are varied to the point where such a distinction would be impossible - and even if there isn't, most believe there is more to being a martial artist than just the competitive aspects of some arts. Because of this, there can never be a best. There can certainly be your favorite, or artists that impress you or maybe even the best in your opinion for your discipline or for a specific aspect of an art, practice or technique... but, the best period just isn't something that can narrowed down, I don't think. Just my thoughts. Thanks, Patrick

Happy Memorial Day. Thank you to everyone who has sacrificed to allow me the freedoms that I enjoy.

Welcome aboard. That's too blanket a statement to make. You have to think of an online community as a country (sort of). Everyone doesn't feel the same on any one issue. Here at KarateForums.com, all martial arts can be discussed (and disagreed upon) respectfully. Thanks, Patrick
