I had to use caps, because people seriously seem to think Lee learned the secret Kung fu that only the super masters, whom can defeat any living man, know. This art, FWIW, doesn't even exist. Kung Fu means 'art'. It's not a fighting style. Dragon was a movie, not a documentary. People here probably think he really hurt his back in a street fight and not doing stunts for a movie.
I'm not saying I could beat him up... I"m saying the frame of reference people are using to base his superiority on appears to be film and not reality.

What the **** are you babbling about??
Bruce invented his OWN martial art - Jeet Kune Do = "The Way of the Fist", which emphasized economy of motion and putting your opponent on the ground, fast and hard.
You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, and it shows.
Please shut the **** up. Now.
