bruce lee proved he was the real deal when he defeated one of the greatest wing chung fighters after china got upset due to Bruce lee training westerners. he got challenged on a daily basis during the making of his movies, and fought countless of martial artists, yet remained undefeated. its all facts, its all there, if people could just be bothered to look it up.
I'm going to bed right now so I won't be able to read your response. But could you tell me who this amazing wing chun fighter was? The only record of Bruce Lee fighting a Kung Fu practicioner that I can find says that the persons name is unknown. And if they didn't know his name there's no way he was that talented, so I'm assuming there must be someone else.

given the fact that the Chinese actually send this guy out to defeat Bruce Lee, this ONE guy, i think its pretty self-evident that despite him not having any official track record, he would have been a master of his art. Keep in mind that the chinese were very secluded from the outside world back then, hence there is little to no information to be found on Lees adversary. This is also the reason why they decided to send a challenger to Lee in the first place, he was spreading a knowledge of which the Chinese found should not be spread. They wanted to keep their martial arts to themselves. If that isnt enough for you tho, id like to point out that there were countless eyewitnesses of which whole documentaries have been based on, saying and portraying Bruce Lee fighting numerous challengers that came from all over China, whenever he was out shooting a movie. These were not people that were out to get their teeth kicked in, these were people who thought their excellence as martial artists would prove them better than Bruce Lee. People claiming Bruce Lee was overblown as an martial artist just doesent know the history behind him. He was and will forever be one of the greatest, despite of what you or i might think of him. He managed to prove that all by himself.

There are also rumors that the chinese may have had something to do with his death (poison). They didnt like him teaching westerners at all.
[QUOTE="Singularity22] There are also rumors that the chinese may have had something to do with his death (poison). They didnt like him teaching westerners at all. Yeah, but they are just rumors. Truth be told, im finding it more and more likely that he trained to the point of which he had a disturbingly low count of white bloodcells, basically killing off his own immune system. I honestly think the flu killed him. How sad. When i was in India, the people i met entirely disagreed with me tho, they pretty much insisted that it was the chinese goverment whom had put a contract out on his head, leaving Lee in the fate of the chinese mafia. They gave me a pretty far-fetched story as to how this would have gone down, something about gas being pumped into the ventilation system -.- People will believe what they want i guess. :)

My step father was an 'alternate' on the 1972 olympic boxing team. He coached me from age 11 to 16.
Martial arts does teach alot of discipline. You also learn how far your body can really go.
Post Serra loss George St. Pierre is looking pretty driven/undefeatable, I think he is going to destroy BJ Penn at UFC 94, I think losing to Serra broke something in him, and it made him insane, and even more devoted to training and fighting.

He said it was probably the greatest thing to happen to him. He drove him even harder to train like a madman and leave everything in the cage.
