Bruce lee = a great mind, movie star, bodybuilder
Bruce lee = not a fighter

Bruce lee vs Pacquiao = Pacquiao by death
Bruce lee vs Urijah Faber = Urijah Faber by death
Bruce lee vs Tyson = what?
Bruce lee vs Fedor = ok sure dim mak right?

The man was a pioneer in cross training, and encouraged his students to challenge Traditional Martial Arts orthodoxy and to reject what doesn't work. I've studied JKD and personally I don't think it works. Using the "philosophy of JKD" I've moved on to other styles that don't include any JKD.

But the "Legend of Bruce Lee" has become Traditional Martial Arts orthodoxy and people get very upset when you challenge it.
Yep, I believe the man himself whould be so angry if he saw what his art has become. I believe JKD nowadays would be basically Krav Maga or no rules MMA.

His art has basically turned into his worse fears: a Traditional Martial Arts. They are not rejecting what doesn't work anymore and think they got the perfect art created by Bruce lee and you can't change it, cause it's perfect.
