While Bruce Lee didn't use grappling in his movies-- he understood far better than his detractors seem to think that movie fighting and real fighting are worlds apart-- he had begun to explore it seriously and was training with Lebell when his life was abrupt;y cut short.

Bruce Lee was a great mind. Anyway, LeBell proved to the extreme nuthuggers that bruce lee could be beaten. He even lifted him above his head while bruce was furiously telling him to put him down like a little kid.
Im a fan of Bruce but all the extreme nuthugging by people with post such as "ali,tyson,fedor vs bruce lee" are fucking annoying
