The Bruce Lee Thread.

[Figo]

I'm I the only one that gets disappointed every time I watch enter the dragon and Bruce steps up to fight bolo and saxson stops him?

right, a fight scene between yeung and lee would've been epic.

Bruce Lee admired boxing a great deal and was actually a huge admirer of Muhammad Ali, I believe he incorporated a lot of his style into Jeet Kun Do (notice how Bruce was bouncing around ? Well). He admired boxing as an art form. He was also a huge admirer of Muay Thai and said that the swing kick was the most powerful kick he'd ever witnessed (that's where the 10000 kicks quote is from). He was a good man and dealt with a lot of racism within his own culture because he was the only dojo that trained and allowed black people and white people to train in (many of his best students were black). For that, they almost wanted to rebuke his licences and accreditations.

In a lot of ways Bruce Lee was perhaps the first mixed martial artist, Jeet Kun Do was unfinished and it was Bruce's plan to create a fluid form of martial arts and a way of life. The movie Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story is a great movie to watch as it follows Bruce's life, it focuses more on the premise that he was running away from a family curse that took his father. While there are many conspiracies as to what may have happened, many doctors suggest that the combination of hashish in his stomach and the sleep medication they gave him may have caused an allergic reaction that caused his brain to swell and in the process ended his life. Bruce was known to chew cannabis after meditating and no it wasnt what killed him he chewed cannabis hours before.

Some good info here, I knew about his love for Ali but the Muay Thai is new to me, makes a lot of sense now good shit man.

My screen name is from his words. One of the biggest influences on my martial arts career and I've studied his philosophy and written works extensively.

He really is the undisputed goat. Big Boss, Fists of Fury, Enter the Dragon >>>

Probably my favorite quote/saying from him. I remember in high school doing one of my writing finals on him. I would of killed to be able to meet him when he was still living.

 

[TheNightKing]

Can you imagine if he lived to old age?! Dude was already crazy philosophical and physically gifted. Give him another 40 years of life and imagine the things he'd say and do.
