Bruce Lee was 5'7, 145 pounds. Nowadays he'd get the ol' ground and pound. You guys might laugh but the best fighters in the world are pro wrestling. Yes, I know the matches are faked, but they're still atheletes and, even more importantly, highly skilled fighters. The Undertaker would bury Bruce Lee in a street fight.

oh my word that's too funny...your serious too, that's even funnier

watch the interview with Kareem abdul jabar, listen to what HE says about Bruce....Bruce was the first true MMA guy, and could easily stand up to any of today's fighters, especially some tard in WWE....undertaker

Bull. Bruce Lee had NO ground skills. Once the fight goes to the ground the striker is nullified. If The Undertaker took Bruce Lee to the mat it's over...he'll roll him up. Yes, Bruce was a striker, but size is size.

O really? Then why do they have weight classes in wrestling and boxing?

[ink]

because its a combat sport....duh

having size may "help"   but it isn't gonna guarantee you anything, if you aint got no heart.     Ive seen many many many big guys that were straight up pansies

Respectfully disagree.  Lee's philosophy of fighting included learning grappling techniques. He used some of them in "Enter the Dragon". Granted, he was not know for his ground skills, and what I understand he never had the opportunity to study Brazilian Ju Jutsu or the other grappling techniques that are prevalent in MMA these days. Had he known about their effectiveness I have no doubt he would have added them to his skill set.  Jeet Kun Do is based on using whatever techniques are most efficient.  

Also, Lee wasn't just a "show" fighter.  He started out as a street fighter in Hong Kong.

this thread started out poor but has evolved into something quite magical.

Next in line is a diet book written by a former slim, Martial Arts movie star, who's tools went from
swords, knives, nunchakus, hands and feet..... to the only tools he could work.... knives, forks, spoons.
"Eating my way outa Hollywood". Not too hard to figure out who it is?

At first I thought you were trolling.   But with each subsequent post, you truly are trying to find your Village.   Keep searching ponce, you just might stumble upon it.

The original post seems to be about an actor (and yes he is an actor, even if you think not a good one) apparently writing a book about more conservative values.

While it might be a nice change of pace from the vast majority of celebrities who spout off from the other side of the spectrum, if you dislike one, you should probably dislike the other (just shut up and sing, act or whatever it is that led you to fame)

As far as home schooling, I think it tends to rise out of the belief that the public school systems are not neutral in a political or religious/anti religious sense.

Parents will always want to instill their own value system in their children.

Whether it's better to include religion and protection from some of the courser culture so dominant today would depend on one's own political/religious persuasion I suppose.

I would have to say with the internet and volume of material available today, home schooled children have a chance to learn at least as well as they would in the public school system, but don't think they are being done any favors when it comes to developing social interaction skills.

+1 a kid on my hockey team is home schooled.probably knows more then half the kids on my hockey team. I'm not saying the kids on my hockey team are oafs, one of them could have a paid way through Westpoint, another is going to pre med and hasnt gotten below an A average in any class.since Jr. High. In all honesty, hes just as intelligent as these two. He is socially awkward though, although not as awkward as some. You can tell a home schooled kid from a public/private schoolkid.

I thought we already killed all of the Indians? 

     If we did, who are all the folks putting up casinos on reservation lands?

He started out as a street fighter in Hong Kong.

I remember seeing an interview with a bunch of Hollywood types, a few stars etc, that had gone to Hong Kong with Bruce Lee.  While walking down the street he was challenged to numerous street fights, just in a few blocks (I lived in Hong Kong for most of 1996 before the Chinese took it back, and it was the same then as in Bruce Lee's time, stamping your foot on the ground meant you wanted to throw down).  Bruce Lee took EVERY fight, much to the shock and horror or the Hollywooders, and he beat the living hell out of all comers, a few of them in 2 or even 3 on one fights.  The witnesses said these were savage, horrific fights, not the scripted movie things that Bruce Lee is most known for.  Ground fighting or not, pretty amazing to have several fights in a short time and space, and win them all.  Also, the Governator has always maintained that Bruce Lee was pound for pound the strongest man in living history, and if you do a bit of research on what he was capable of, anyone would have to agree.

The Undertaker...I still can't stop laughing.  For once Karaya and I agree 100%, I never thought the day would arrive.  Bruce Lee would KILL the Undertaker and then beat the life out of his entourage.
