Wong Jak Man kicked Brue's ass.

[NaSZ]

Linda Lee was there, and she said Bruce won the fight, but that he didn't win as quickly or as dominantly as he thought he should have. He felt that his Wing Chun was too limiting, plus he also felt he wasn't in as good as shape as he thought he should be. So he made fitness more of a priority, and then started using more of a kickboxing structure. But he did win the fight. There has never been any controversy as to whether he won it or not.

Really, Who gives a phuck about who won the fight.
Every real Martial Artist / fighter wins and loses in life.
Thats the reality..The rest is Sesamestreet!

Needs to be stronger moderators to weed out the constant trolls and spamming. Just look up any chaiya wanarat and krabi wanarat to get an example of what is running through the different forums.

[george stando]

Hey big mouth, wanarat....you couldnt kick a dogs ass no less a jkd guy. Here you go running your mouth on yet another forum, talking like a tough guy when its YOU who always runs like a COWARD. When are you going to stop, go home and get your mom to tuck in bed at night. Leave the fighting to people who can and dont run around in your princess leia star wars outfit pretending to fight when you are just a girl pretending to be a man.

Wanarat is trolling the defend forum and has been for some time so be forewarned.

Funny wanarat says barking dogs dont bite....all he does is bark.

I don't do JKD but I trained in it for a while, it's got good material and concepts both in
hand to hand and armed combat. JKD is for real confrontations if you haven't noticed.
If you saw some bad JKDers it doesn't mean the whole system and people are bad!!!!

Bruce Lee was a human being but definitely not an ordinary one, whether you like him and his work or not and he always backed what he talked about. As I said, you should read the books he wrote and that others wrote about him.

Barking dog seldom bites!!anyone can speak philosophy all night long,but when it comes to fighting they'll piss their pants!!I know you love bruce,so i don't expect you to accept he's an ordinary humanbeing.

Try reading books written by and about Bruce Lee before speaking, he was MUCH more than an actor and director who mixed techniques.
JKDers are easy to find and you can test them if you have doubts because you disrespect something you don't understand.

[Krabi wanarat]

^I'm a fuckin krabi krabong practisioner and i've got more reflexes than bruce ever did,coz i don't consider nunchuck as a basic weapon at all.And i can kick bruce's ass anytime&anywhere!but unfortunate,he's dead.He's not worth it,it's just the fame of movies that made him look like invincible,but he's fuckin NOT. i can say arnold/stallone is a great fighter,but that's only for movies,in reality they won't even stand a shin kick or a fuckin knee...and so,bruce is.....

did You guys ever noticed it,bruce stole most of jkd from thai boxing,coz he knows wing chun ain't worth nothing and it's meant for women! he's like "Hey!Let's steal some shit from the brutal muay thai and add some of our womanish wing chun and label it as "jkd" so,that fuckin kungfu theater noobs 'll think we did the greatest contribution to the world of martial arts!" all bullshit.

even a third grade fighter can kick bruce's ass,It is those fans who love him and hallucinate him as a legend,can't accept the truth that he's not worth that after!!so,they start building up some fake stories that bruce won in 3 mins or some crap like that.

[TopCrusader]

fb5900, you just had to bring "global warming" into it! Or is it "global climate change" now?
Anyhow, I refuse to read all 25 pages of this thread, but has anybody raised this fact:
If Bruce Lee did lose the fight, then that means the Chinese martial arts community at the time would have kept forcing him to close his school and quit teaching non-Chinese. That was their stipulations, correct? But I have not read any stories that point to the Kung fu community continuing to pressure Lee to change his teaching style.
As far as how well Lee did, I think its safe to say Lee was dissapointed in himself (cardio, conditioning) and his inability to end Wong Jack Man sooner. Part of this is due to how Wong Jack Man fought the match, forcing Lee to chase after him and tiring him out instead of fighting in a way that Lee could fight easily (the Wing Chun way). All reports I have read said that Wong Jack Man would take off running and spinning and that Lee's hits would just dissolve off of him since Wong Jack Man was mobile.

[fb5900]

Too many of Lee's first group of students confirm that Bruce did win.
And I think if the alternative version is true, it would have come out in Bruce's lifetime
until waiting until some 1979 or 1980 (?) article.
As a history major way back when, IMHO the Linda/JYL version has the ring of truth, while the other story has the "feel" of the conspiratorial trend. Global warming is as factual as the sun rising each day, and yet the media has convinced vast numbers
of scientifically illiterate Americans that there is no global warming! How can anyone who grew up in, say, 1960s Ohio NOT tell that winters are less harsh with less snow, and that it stays warmer towards Thanksgiving?
Bruce won in 3 minutes.

[jeffg46703]

My view is this ----I believe Linda's version of events. I do not believe Wong, Chen, and the 1980 IKA article.
However, there were better people than Bruce, then and now. There were better people than Bruce, both inside and outside of Chinese arts. There are better people in Chinese arts, then and now. That does not diminish or denigrate Jeet Kune Do as an original and
important contribution to the arts. Did Kano ever lose a match? if so, would it count against JUDO as it is today? Bruce should not be held to a standard that no other human being is!

[Multiphasic]

From my research i have deduced that bruce was 80% happy with the method, but unhappy with his attribute training. Then, along the way to mastering his kinetic potential he was able to develop better and more efficient techniques because his qualities had improved, simplifying the concepts. Though his attributes are what made some of his ferocity legendary.

Isn't "changing" adapting? I've been interviewing a lot of JKD instructors lately, and many if not most say that they have changed how the "do" JKD over the years. Would it be better to stick with something inefficient or uneffective? You can check out some of the interviews I've done with top JKD instructors at JKD Newsletter - Jeet Kune Do, JKD, Jeet Kune Do Instruction, Bruce Lee Jeet Kune Do, Jeet Kune Do Training, Jeet Kune Do Instructors, techniques training, and JKD DVD distance learning, jeet kune do videos, jkd videos, learn jkd, classes, martial ar
