He might be right you know. For as much as I'll get shit for this by some of the hardcore Lee fans, Bruce Lee was an actor. He wasn't a professional fighter. Yes, the man had martial arts training and looked great on film, but he did not make a living from fighting. There were a few obscure mentions of him taking part in some pseudo-sanctioned fights and what not, but none of us were around when these fights occurred.

I think Bruce Lee today would get his ass kicked by a professional fighter. He would get fucked up by most professional boxers (short of the few that fall for his kicks) and certainly would be destroyed by professional MMA fighters.

Imagine if Bruce Lee used all the steroids that Chael used

He would have still been the same height, but certainly thicker. Don't know if it would have lent itself well to his movie-star looks. For a skinny Chinese dude, he wasn't typical looking. He had a good mug on 'em and probably had his way with the Asian ladies. Add weight to his frame and a moonface and not sure if he would still be camera friendly (probably look more like this fella below).

Bruce was 1/4 Asian. That may partially explain his looks.

I didn't know that. What constituted the other 3/4th of his makeup?

Bruce Lee probably at least experimented with steroids, a few of his students/training partners insist he dabbled. John Little (a major Lee schmoe) got a hold of Lee's training journals a couple of decades ago, a decent amount of steroid articles, clippings, etc.... were in with them.

Someone asked Dan Inosanto how Bruce would do in the octagon.  He said, would you want to fly
across the country in the Wright Flyer (1903) or in a modern jet?  Bruce is largely credited as inspiration
for MMA, but what he knew nearly 50 years ago has been so greatly expanded by so many good athletes.

BTW, his Jet Tek is used in MMA and kickboxing.

I remember something about his mom being half german.

I also used to think 'what a coincidence, the best fighter in the entire world also happens to be a well known Hollywood Actor/Celebrity. Not that I wanted to disrespect him, but I wondered who knows if theres some dude in the mountains somewhere that actually is the best? But no, we were told it was Lee, period.

Nothing against the Aikido master, but why does he run like this?

The question is, who would win in a fight between Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan  ?

If we are talking succesful leading man actor then it has to be Chuck Norris as the one who would kick the shit out of all the rest of them.

Bruce’s mom was German  🇩🇪

Bruce came from a VERY wealthy family from British Hong Kong, he has a very rich bloodline, very good bbing genetics but was smart to take another route

bruce lee took on the triad underworld single handedly when they didn't want him to teach the white man kung fu.

Another actor for sure, but way smarter than your average professional fighting bad ass. If you can make millions by pretend fighting, why would you willingly pick real fighting to slowly crawl into a predicament where you can "maybe" make the same money well after a point that your long-term cerebral health is in question? A large amount of professional boxers and MMA fighters will be eating their food out of a straw at the rate that they are going. Are the professional fighters the modern day gladiators of our time? Damn right. Will they be of sound mind enough to be around for, let alone play with their grandchildren? I don't know man.

Not worth it brother.

Segal is one weird dude lol. His delusions remind me of Jason Blaha.
