But in another interview Chuck says he was a professional fighter and Bruce was a film fighter. But my money would be on Bruce 9 out of 10 times purely because dude was so much faster than everyone else.

Chuck has him beat in that department, but Bruce's philosophy is up there with Kano and all the other greats

Truth be told I don't buy it. Bruce had decades more experience and he fought to survive in Hong Kong not for trophies.

Norris fought for sport, which in turn is more for entertainment purposes, but not practical in real world situations. Really, martial arts is a philosophy within itself and that's one thing a lot of Westerners often forget. And Bruce Lee applied that philosophy in his fighting style and he also was a martial arts instructor, so he wasn't just some flashy person on stage.

I guess I'm arguing that Lee took a more traditional approach based on East Asian philosophy.

Actually Lee hated the traditional approach that's why he came up with Jeet Kun Do. If you ever have a chance you should read the Tao Of Jeet Kun Do. He goes into more detail there but he had more whatever works for you approach to the martial arts where as tradition had a lot more restrictive rules.

I'll definitely bookmark that as one of my books to read. Thanks for the info.

fucking philly mofos lol.

What's sad is now even if you have martial arts training it doesn't matter. These kids would rather shoot than fight. So afraid of any ass whooping they'd rather catch a murder charge.

basically

i don't mind scrapping at all..in fact some days I look forward to it because I like to fight (obviously)...the problem lies with these silly ass mothafuckas pulling blades or shooting. Every time I hear a young gun talk about buying a piece or whatever, i just SMDH. is that what it's come down to? A generation of brothas afraid to tumble or take a loss?

as barbaric and un-collegiate as it may seem, I encourage guys to pull into a dojo or gym, and just fight a little. Taking a loss and getting worn out isn't as bad as it may seem. I think some people will be surprised at how 'not bad' it is, to lay on the mat after you got handled. Your body will heal eventually and you'll be back to fight again before you know it. You may even find yourself laughing through an ass kicking. Don't know if that's a guy thing or what.

gyms and dojos are controlled environments, but the pain and injuries are still real. bottom line is you'll get over them eventually and fighting won't seem like such a big deal. lose the guns

Yeah. Pretty much it right there. My old man told me and my brother he didn't care if we won if we ever got into any fights, just always stand your ground and never run. Getting your ass whopped every once in a while helps to build your character and helps to make you want to always try to step your game up Pops and the other old timers use to say when we were coming up. Young bloods now don't see shit in that way. Losing means weakness and they don't know how to make something that's seen as a weakness and make it into a strength.

What you guys are saying is right. Guys rather hide behind guns than put their fists up and fight. It also reminds me of these two scenes in Friday. John Witherspoon's character Willie Jones' words are so true and are words to definetely live by:
