![]() Aren't they in a damn good position to judge what works and what doesn't? Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is designed to subdue - not to harm - and eschews striking. Even law enforcement and the military are teaching the fundamentals of BJJ in their hand-to-hand combat training. ![]() ![]() That doesn't mean it's not effective, but I'd guess more people would use it in tournament fighting and it would be more widely taught if it gave a fighter a significant advantage. I've said Bruce Lee was an outstanding athlete, and I believe that, but I've not seen what JKD can do man-to-man outside of edited motion pictures. Real-world application is what matters to me. I'm obviously biased towards BJJ, but it was developed by the Gracie boys basically engaging in no-holds-barred hand-to-hand combat and figuring out what works. The multi-disciplined fighter, in my mind, seemed to appear more and more in the past 10 years after Royce Gracie opened the #10 can of whupass on everyone. The multi-disciplined fighter is becoming commonplace This I'll concede, but I don't know that I would necessarily attribute it to Bruce Lee. Posted by LROD at 09:56 AM on December 07, 2004 “ Bruce Lee the greatest martial artist of all time.”, I for one think so. Jet Lee uses his face expressions but too much computer animation and special effect doesn’t make up for skills even though he has a lot of that. I was amazed when I found out that Jackie chan was one of his stunt men ( see enter the dragon, the cave action ) and that he chose his funny style because he didn’t want to be in the shadows of the deadly fighter ways that Bruce Lee protracted. My personal opinion is that he was a genius of martial arts and that his style and ways of fighting were real and don’t get me wrong I mean movies are all rehearsals but some of those moves he could perform in real life encounters, this guy was always looking for perfection and in some aspect of his short life he achieved it. He wanted to be called a good actor or a good martial artist instead. Bruce Lee was the greatest martial artist ever not only for his time but also for the present and the future, he also did not want people to call him “ movie star.” He thought the word itself was an illusion.
