karatefox Posted May 11, 2003 Posted May 11, 2003 Bruce lee was 5'10". I rest my case. hm.........interesting....
JohnnyS Posted May 12, 2003 Posted May 12, 2003 Karatefox, Are you saying that if Bruce Lee fought a larger opponent with the same skill he would have won ? Please give reasons why. Even he said he couldn't compete with someone like Muhammad Ali because of the size difference. BJJ - Black Belt under John Will (Machado)Shootfighting - 3rd Degree Black BeltTKD - Black Belt
adrenline Posted May 12, 2003 Posted May 12, 2003 the only guys who say size doesnt matter are small guys.. but I think strength is more of an important factor to consider. usually larger size is equated with more strength. my website: http://www.liquidfission.commy forums http://www.liquidfission.com/phpbb
Kyle-san Posted May 12, 2003 Posted May 12, 2003 the only guys who say size doesnt matter are small guys.. I'm a small guy and I still say that size plays an important role in things.
paolung Posted May 12, 2003 Posted May 12, 2003 the information i have says Bruce Lee was 5'7 1/2", not 5"10" "It is not how much you know but how well you have mastered what you've learnt. When making an assessment of one's martial arts training one should measure the depth rather than the length". - MASTER "General" D. Lacey
chuck_girl Posted May 13, 2003 Posted May 13, 2003 Well, if you are large with skill, that's fine, but what about fitness and strength? aren't those important too? A big guy who is slower and less fit witht the same skills may not waste a small guy for sure.
SevenStar Posted May 13, 2003 Posted May 13, 2003 but those are assumptions that you cannot make. the bigger guy may not be slower, and may be more fit than the small guy.
JohnnyS Posted May 13, 2003 Posted May 13, 2003 Plus, most fights don't last long enough for fitness to come into play. If you're body is using adrenaline, then fitness won't come into play until 15-30 seconds into the fight, and in my experience most fights don't last that long.
