BRUCE LEE: Was he all that he was cracked up to be?

[LeaF]

I did look at the site rising dragon.... I accept the fact that he was an exceptional person and fighter, I am not arguing that but when you said this...

Bruce reached a peak that no other ma have ever reached.

 

that implies to me that you believe he is the be all and end all of martial artists, and he isn't. The feats he accomplished are beyond what most people could ever do, but (back to your quote) other martial artists have done things even bruce could not do, and the cycle will continue. This is why I reffered to your post as uneducated, but I am glad we have cleared everything up, have a good day

 

Thank You

I agree with LeaF....i think that Bruce has accomplished things that 'not everyone' could do...but there are some who have accomplished more...Bruce never fought for anything...pride, respect, and valor, reputation, those are not valid reasons...other fought for their lives...

 

His training was unique, and his thoughts were educated...but his OPINIONS, were just that, his OPINIONS...

 

YOu have yours...I have Mine, and it will continue that way until the end of time!

Bruce was an innovator.

 

He defied tradition and was hated for it.

 

There has never been anyone who had his charisma, and as far as the beauty of his movements go, I think he may never be topped.

 

I don't know what criteria you are using for "the best" but I'd have to say that he was the most remarkable martial artist I've ever seen.

 

Yes it's true, Bruce Lee WAS the best (at making sure the world never forgot him)
