do you think Bruce lee was overrated?


I give him credit for mainstreaming the arts and for telling martial artists that they should lift weights and hit a heavy bag. But Bruce Lee as a fighter? He beat up a black belt, and he fought to a 20-minute draw against some young kung fu guy. Those are his only two documented fights. He did not fight professionally. And he could have. He could have boxed in the US or done full contact in Brazil or Japan. I do not say he was a joke, but saying that he was the best "fighter" is like saying that Judge Judy knows more than the people on the Supreme Court! Yes, Bruce may have been a great teacher. But teaching fighting is not itself fighting. I think with what we know now about muay thai, BJJ, and MMA, people need to stop obssessing about Bruce Lee and jeet kune do.
And jeet kune do is not revolutionary. The Brits at the end of the 19th century had a hybrid art called Bartitsu. Boxer Jack Dempsey developed an armed forces hybrid art combining boxing and judo.
Kajukenbo was a hybrid combination of karate, judo, jujitsu, kenpo, chinese boxing, western boxing,
eskrima, and tang soo do. And unlike Bruce Lee and his students, the kajukenbo guys really fought.
So is it not time for people to stop this immature hero-worship of Lee and start concerning themselves with their own training?
There were 100s of true masters of any number of arts, in Bruce’s time, who could have beaten Bruce Lee easily. There are probably 14 year olds in Thailand now who could have kicked Bruce’s butt.
I wonder how many of the Bruce Lee fanboys on message forums like this have never even been in a fight, hit a heavy bag, broken a board, or done any live sparring- don’t you?

need a little help/advice on making a decision about taekwondo and mma. what should i do?


Ok so i’ve been doing taekwondo for about two and a half years now, im four ranks (or a year and a bit) off black belt. i do love taekwondo, its great fun and sparring is most enjoyable. its not a mcdojo as we are trained by a korean man with a 8th degree black belt in both WTF stlye taekwondo and Hapkido. I love the people and my master at the dojang and really wanted to get black belt.

but at the same time, i love all martial arts and want to expand my horizons to others. i also love mixed martial arts and ufc etc etc and often have full contact mma matches in the backyard (lol). so I recently discovered that then next town over has an mma gym. it has classes in mauy thai, kickboxing, BJJ and strength and fitness (which i am very interested in as i have alot of trouble putting on any weight and/or muscle). ontop of that the mma gym costs 25 a week with unlimited access (upto 15 classes a week, not to mention you can probobaly use the gym anytime as long as its open between classes). which is WAY better compared to taekwondo’s per lesson once a week with no real facilities (we do it in a school hall/ indoor b-ball court) not to mention gradings cost 50 each and u need to pay 55 for insurance once a year.

so my dilema is i cant afford a week to do mma AND taekwondo. yet i still do like taekwondo and dont want to "betray" my master and dojang. but mma is so much cheaper and teaches so much more.. WHAT SHOULD I DO??

and plz no answers telling me how "unneffective" tkd is etc etc.
