A post on another thread has got me thinking (first time for everything! :hihi:)
What do martial artists think about Bruce Lee as a fighter? The fight scenes in his films were obviously choreographed as they are in all MA films but could he really fight, or was he an actor with some kung fu knowledge? Opinions?

I think its fair to say that JCVD would destroy Bruce Lee in a fight. All that wavy-hands nonsense is no match for Battle-Ballet and Kickboxing.

SiSiSi, this really a stupid question to ask.Bruce Lee's expertise is well documented.Good actor though.

Why stupid? All I know of him is what I've seen in his films.

I think that this question will be forever answered by a little known Russian language action film slated for this year, 'The Fifth Execution'... (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1410198/).

Thats right Van Damme all the way ;)
Especially his 360 degree helicopter kick.
Not only that, dead people cant fight back.
Except perhaps at night where they become ghosts then you need to call GHOSTBUSTERS!!!!

Thats ALL you know , i.e. your knowledge is worthless and Robby Brown is not a real master :D
Your opinions are also worth less than nothing.

P.S. Karachi Cops are stronger than Ghostbusters

There you go. Robby has reached such a level of spiritual enlightenment that he can sense when his name is being typed. Truly a master.
