What if you took those into account and conducted the same research but with different results? As times and culture change, so do fighting methods and their believed effectiveness. It was believed not long ago that the art to learn was Karate or TKD, after the first UFC's it was believed that Brazilian JiuJitsu was the only style that mattered. Nowadays the belief is that wrestling and either Boxing or Muay Thai are just as important as being able to deliver an armbar or leg lock. What I'm talking about isn't just taking what looks cool and wanting to learn that but taking what one believes to be effective based on the tenets of the concepts that Bruce Lee lay the ground for and not getting the same results as Bruce Lee himself.
