The dude is pretty much universally acknowledged as one of the greatest martial artists of all time. He invented mixed martial arts. I think that makes him a pretty bad mutha trucka

He's been acknowledged as one of the most complete fighters in the world too so there's a fact

He was a bad dude but he didn't invent "mixed martial arts", nor is the concept of "mixed martial arts" new.

Boxers are superb at what they do, but they are such incomplete fighters its not funny.

Bruce Lee FTW.

Wow, can't believe you said that out loud.

If you want to get technical, he popularized the idea of mixed martial arts in a way that no one else had. Before him the vast majority would study one school of martial arts only. He both taught and wrote about how limited/foolish a notion that was.
So, yes, before him there were individual practitioners but no one that brought it to the scale that he did.

 

[random_havoc]

Round Over!

FONZIE wins it 9-1 over Ferris!

New Round!

Brute force vs Brute force!

Marvel's Hercules VS He-Man

Nah. We have a very west-centric view of those things. He certainly shaped OUR notions of Martial Arts pretty heavily.

Mixed Martial Arts is nothing special. Just a generic term for someone who uses the strengths of many different systems to accomodate a myriad of combat circumstances. Its been done for thousands of years.

People over here THINK that everyone stuck to one "style" but the overspecialized "styles" didn't become prominent until fairly recently. Your life used to depend on it on a daily basis. You took what worked anywhere you could get it and used it.

The Boxer Rebellion did much to set back many of the true complete systems. The ones who survived fled and went underground. All that was left was overspecialized derivatives that rely primarily on Kata to practice (which had been growing before that as well).

It is the reliance on Kata and the emphasis on "Art" rather than "Martial" that developed fairly recently as far as the big picture goes that lead many to believe THAT is the legacy. Its actually watered down, incomplete, overspecialized versions of better systems.

I'll take your word for it. It's beyond my interest to discuss further.
