Anonymous Unregistered	[QUOTE]Originally posted by Bruce Lee: OK there I would have to disagree with you. If there were so many people who could KO him quickly then where were they when he had his world wide challange where he would fight ANYONE, anywhere, under any rule. Do you see my point. He was willing to fight anyone, and if he really wasn't confident thet he could win, why would he put up that kind of challange.(Just a note - the person who fought him lost within 3 minutes. He was a master of martial arts and he ran away from Bruce.Bruce cought him though [IMG]http://www.fightingarts.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif[/IMG] ) Nobody is saying that Bruce was some kind of god, he was just a REALLY good martial artist. He is also not invincible, but I can say with confidence that if Bruce were to fight someone his size, he would win. [/QUOTE] What are you talking about.When the Gracies(creators of BJJ) challenged Bruce Lee, he refused to fight any of them.Even though Lee claimed to have grappleing experiance and that he could defeat the Gracies art he would never accept their challenge.

Anonymous Unregistered	I have found very little of Lee's teachings that were not previously written in works like: A Book of Five Rings, Art of War, and Tao Teh Ching. This is just what I have found, and I am making no accusations so you JKD guys try to pull some punches when you come in for the counter attack. Let me know what you all have found in your studies.

Anonymous Unregistered	Don't talk to me about Rickson Gracie. He has YET to fight any noted fighters in any MMA division. Those 400 wins? WHo were they against?

Anonymous Unregistered	No dnt post things like this it is against my belifs I find JKD is a very skilled and disaplined sport or as i say self defence class. Also all kinds of kung fu are very well planned
