"Yes, but does that mean that Parker "beat" Bruce?"

 

well, i might be a bit dim

 

but all i read in those lines was that bruce lee stayed at parker's place for a year during which they exchanged ideas.

post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are.

It proabably means that Bruce Lee learned a few things from GM Ed Parker. After all Bruce was only about 25 at the time. What is interesting is that after Bruce moved out he began to creat JKD.

If you read GM Parker's "infinite insights" book 1 he talks alot about his time with Bruce and how alot of people misinterpret Lee's ideas and about Parker pointing out the limitations of his Wing Chun stance. I actually read a few of Bruce Lee's books and once I read Parker's books they actually complemented each others ideals really well. I recommend if you can find them read them all.

PS Parker actually introduce Lee to the world at his first world Karate tournament (where he demonstrated the 1 inch punch)

There is no teacher but the enemy.

"True mastery transcends any particular art. It stems from mastery of oneself-the ability, developed through self-discipline, to be calm, fully aware, and completely in tune with oneself and the surroundings. Then, and only then, can a person know himself."

They probably learned from each other. Diffrence with Lee and Parker was parker created more of a structure where lee wanted to focus on ideas and concepts. Which in that point wasn't very structured so other people just took his moves that he was teaching at the time and declared them Gosepel. Thats why you get those diffrent sects in the JKD world.
