Is Bruce Lee the best Martial artist ever?

Well guys, what do you think?

**JwMonE99** · 03-15-2008, 07:32 PM

I dont think he was the best ever. I am sure there are lots of pple out there that are better. I am sure he has never been to islands of Okinawa (sp?) and challenge their top masters. Dont forget Jet Li is really great as well. And there has been a lot of greats before times of the movies. We will never really know for sure, and please no one say Jackie Chan is that good. He is ok, does a lot of stunts but his martial arts skills are that great.

No I am serious. Take the Stunts to the side, but the actual fighting is awesome.

Jet Li is a movie star. not the real deal. show me were he has put his fighting skill on the line, not in a movie. Bruce and chuck are the only two in the movies that i know of that have really fought of the bigt screen.

The directors of Bruce Lee's movies had to slow down the camera in his fight scenes because his punches and kicks were just blurs, so that settles it for me.

No in real life Jet Li was really a martial artists. And so was a lot of other guys, Steven Seagal, Jean Claude Van Dam, Steven Chow, Phillips Phee and so on...

Bruce was the one that opened the Martial Arts to America ... for his day he was the man ... Bruce just had that attitude that he could do anything , and usually did ..

im not saying there not martial artists. im saying they never competted in anything to prove what they can do. hell wesley snipes is a black belt and i acually like watching him over jet li with all his fancy shit that dosnt work in real life. keep it simple works and looking fancy is just for movies. thats were most people get confused. im been doing martial arts for over 15 years now and acually had 3 siminars with a guy named Jim Harrison that worked out with bruce lee at his house. he said there were no special cam angles or effects in any of his movies like all these other dumb asses to make it look good. as for segal. hes a joke.
