trademark technique
I don't have a special technique I just jab effectively I guess my axe kick would work, but I don't use it much while sparring. It's more of an upward front kick that hits at the tangent. If I'm in a pickle, I clinch I learned this throw last night that I actually did well. A No-Gi Tai Otoshi. I might work on that throw. As for takedowns, I like Lateral Drops

UFC and Bruce Lee
Bruce Lee was good for his time I don't think he'd do well against top fighters of now However, many UFC fighters just plain suck, and are not top fighters. Bruce Lee would beat them. Bruce Lee would do better in Shooto or ZST
