Bruce Lee, the routine.

[Darkoz]

Bruce had speed and power

 

[Grunta]

Think he had speed and agility, not so much power.

Marketing power doesn't count.

There is a reason violent sports are broken up by weight division.

Kung foo is not a fighting or strength discipline, it's nothing more then a stylised dance for people brainwashed by shitty fantasies about 1 inch punches and flailing forearms.

 

[Big Mick]

He had plenty of power, people forget his history he was a street fighter before he became famous, testing his skill, speed and power in real life combat situations, unlike many fighters today who are show ponies.

 

[Darkoz]

Some of you bastards have narrow vision, size doesn't always equate to power.

 

[Grunta]

He used his tactics to generate power, like only clench the fist just before impact, works well.
but he was not powerful, just fast and talented.

 

[Grunta]

Power

You will never see a bantamweight who hits as hard as a heavy weight (power) equally you will never see a heavyweight who can move as fast as a bantamweight of equal
skill (speed).

This is fact and cannot be disputed, obviously it applies to people of a similar skill level. This is why all 'real' combat sports are broken up by weight divisions.

Appreciate kungfoo for what it is, an amusing sideshow.

if you really want a laugh whatch street fights on YouTube with kungfoo fighters deploy their ridiculous techniques and get pasted, only ever seen one where a guy flukes a ko, I'll see if I can find it and post it in here.

Lol please explain to me how the explosion of mma, massive purses in boxing, massive purses in Muay Thai in Japan and Europe have made many of today's fighters 'show ponies'.

 

[Bazza20]

In actual competition fighting apart from the odd lucky punch skill beats power.

Street fighting is usually a scrap and dirty techniques come into their own.

On most sports you are right about the categories of weight

However have any of you watched UFC 1 the first and few cards after that it was open comp

Hoyce Gracie destroyed all his competition yet only being half the size and almost half their weight!

Prime example of skill beating strength

 

[Caino]

Do you even kung foo lol.
He was training to compliment his martial arts, not for size which would have hindered his agility.

Kung fu?

Im almost certain his dicipline was Wing Chun not kung fu

Speaking of fighting, fun video here - Underground Bare Knuckle Boxing in the UK - YouTube

Point taken, when UFC first started it was more about the best combat discipline, till hybrid mma evolved and you started getting grapplers who could standup fight as well.

i always preferred pride gp in the early days cause the fighters were well matched, UFC delighted in mismatches cause it kept the punters interested.

I remember bet when tank Abbott was my favourite fighter lol.

Sakuraba was was a good example of the rare fighter where their skill can make up for size and power, the guy was a freak

How do you measure power? You're all talking shite...
all things being equal, a skilled fighter will more often than not beat the living shit out of a stronger, less skilled bastard.

i know little about Lee, but the point I liked to make to you dip shits, was he used a handful of exercises, full body, worked out three times a week, on top of his training and added considerable muscle in a short space of time.

incidently, Lees forearms were huge, I think he had exhibited great strength and could pack a punch, none of which you could measure by watching the movies.

I think you are full of shite!

How can you say he was a skilled fighter, in what way did he prove his skill?

 

[Darkoz]

MMA is just an opportunity for thugs with no particular skill in any one discipline

I am full of shite most of the time.

i cannot say how skilled he was, never said anything about his fuckin skill level, he got his break into Hollywood as kato in the tv series green hornet.
Became a movie star, and his life fell apart and killed himself.

Never sat through one of his movies, I couldn't stand them he sounded like a cat singing on a fence.

What he did have was a good work ethic, he worked out hard and trained the same way.
