Wrong.  He studied judo when he first arrived in Seattle.  He also trained with Hayward Nishioka, Pan Am Gold medalist in Judo.  He also trained with Gene LeBell in judo, grappling and wrestling.  Prior to his death, he was moving away from Gung Fu, and more toward boxing, wrestling.  He was quoted in "Fighting Stars" (forerunner to black belt) that a man with one year boxing and wrestling experience would beat 99% of most black belts.  He bought every book he could find on boxing, had many a boxer in his Chinatown LA school including my Sifu Richard Bustillo.  (A golden gloves champ from Oahu, whom Bruce would routinely beat the snot out of)  Guro Dan Inosanto was a judo black belt, kempo black belt, did boxing as well as Kali, Bruce would spar with just about ANY top martial artist of his day, and would beat most of them handily.  I have heard this from Guro Dan, Sifu Richard, the late Sifu Larry Hartsell, as well as from the late Ed Parker. 

His only formal instruction was from Yip Man, in Hong Kong.  Again, toward the end of his evolution, he had gotten away from chi sau, and was sparring full contact, using focus mitts, thai pads, and kicking shields.  As a former Wing Chun instructor myself, I have followed a nearly identical path as Bruce.  No more WC, only BJJ, sub grappling, boxing, muay thai and greco. 
Im also a BJJ guy now-but I never forgot my WC even though I dont train it really anymore-also lifting weights never really benefited me in WC-made me too tight to do certain things-but I will always have the basic instincts and reflex from WC-whatever the case Lee studied it all and to hear people bash him is a disgrace-he was one of a kind-not some drunken ultimate fighter guy-and I love MMA- just that some of these guys arent great role models-but they are tough just getting in the octagon

I do agree that Bruce Lee might not had been that great like what the media made him out to be.

BUT he is the inspiration for generations of fighters, even Dorian yates idolise bruce lee(read it in M&F). I watched UFC for a period of time and i swear hearing Joe Rogan mentioning Bruce lee and his " be like water" philosophy on at least three occasions.

He might not be THAT GREAT, but saying that he doesn't know how to fight is just plain wrong. >:(

Anything bar Boxing and Grappling is a waste of time in a fight, thats the one good thing UFC has done, taught what works and what doesnt.But I agree Bruce was supremely charismatic and a good icon but would get his ass handed to him against a pro boxer or UFC guy.

I wouldn't say Bruce Lee would kick any heavyweights ass, but I can tell you he would have dominated his weight class in MMA. He was one of the pioneers of never keeping to a rigid system when fighting and included grappling as a fighting technique. He also experimented with weights as a cross training exercise.

All reports was that he was strong as fuck compared to his weight.
