I used to pass by Wong In Sik a top notch Korean hapkido master and I'd walk by his studio all the time and look at the famous movie pictures. He starred in movies with Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan and has been teaching here in Toronto for about 30 years. He played the Japanese fighter who fought Bruce Lee in "The Way of the Dragon". His Jackie Chan films were in "The Young Master" and "Dragon Lord".

Here's more info if you'd like to drop by his dojo here in Toronto some time.

Very cool. Do you know what he had to say about Bruce Lee?

I'm kinda sick of this Bruce Lee cock stroke.

Yes, hes a good martial artist...No, I would not want to fight him.

But I think people make this guy out to be more than he was. There are likely MANY guys on this planet who could have handed him his ass. Only reason why hes so inflated is because he was on TV, so everyone knew him; and not only that he came out with martial arts during a time when your average American wasnt the most worldly of guys. Bruce introduced the West to the East back when the West didn't know shit.

So there you have it... combine ignorant market with good martial artist and he becomes the best thing since sliced bread.

Again...I'm not dumping on Bruce but IMHO...Bruce was just a small example of what else is out there
*Clap clap clap*

What's up Chuck?

The very agile Donnie Yen plays Ip Man who was Bruce Lee's mentor. The movie is divided into two parts and very much worth seeing. All on this post will get a kick out of the last scene in the second film when a little cocky kid we all know meets Ip Man and says: "I'll let you teach me!".

Sammo Hung also appears in the film so it all ties in very nicely. The two films are quite good and have plenty of martial arts action. Worth seeing.




These are great movies. I recently say IP Man 3, it was also pretty good. Tells the story of how he learned Wing Chun

A little more of Chuck. He really wants to say he would beat Bruce but doesn't out of respect.
I never interpreted that from this conversation but he does say that he was a 'professional fighter' (as in competitions) whereas Bruce was not.

In a professional karate match where it is all about making contact and scoring points, Chuck probably did have a decent chance of winning a match.
In a fight where it is a matter of hurting, crippling, and killing the other guy, Chuck would have been lucky to survive 1-2 minutes.

Dude get over it, that is what you want to hear; therefore, that is what you think you heard. Besides, you think he would say something bad about himself when he is being videotaped for airing? There is nothing wrong with admitting that you were wrong. Chuck, himself admitted that he would of gotten his ass kicked, and your idol, himself (Chuck), said no one can beat Bruce Lee.

Holy shit, you're a joke.

No question Bruce Lee did more to popularize the sport than anyone else and he had such screen presence. When he was on all attention was focused on him because he looked like a coiled spring ready to explode. His technical abilities and speed were also amazing.

Well, Bruce was the best plain and simple. No one could beat him and he was so fast you couldn't see punches or kicks coming at you. The movie camera enabled you to see them however.

Wow, this is the first logical argument against my point. And it's actually a good one. You are right. The second is just ridiculous. If anyone thinks that going 6 years undefeated in the world karate circuit is makes Chuck Norris a pushover you need to take a few classes.

The joke is you're caught up in dick sucking and not facts. But it's okay. I'm not going to insult the integrity of your hero. You showed me a clip of a third person saying the heard, while I showed you the man saying it himself. So who's the joke? Like when I said they trained together and you said Bruce was his teacher.

I'll take back what I said about Chick kicking his ass and say this. Sometimes the legend is greater than the person and anyone who thinks the Bruce Lee would kill Chuck Norris in minutes knows little about being in a real fight. Don't get caught up in the movies. There's martial arts movies out know that show things Bruce Lee never did, i.e Tony Jaa. He's awesome. But no one can determine who well he'd do in a real fight.

Bruce took the best from numerous disciplines and expanded on them to create his own style.
Karate was just a tiny part of his package.
Karate is a sport like Tae Kwon Do and not very practical in a real fight or MMA.
A great grappler like Royce Gracie would have easily beat Chuck in a real fight and strangled him to death if he wanted to.

The Chinese martial arts establishment told Bruce to stop teaching the foreigners.
Bruce refused and they sent over the best of their best to challenge Bruce to a no-holds-barred fight.
Bruce didn't want to kill the guy and it took him around 3 minutes to subdue the guy and get him to give up.
This was a huge moment in Bruce's life as he was shocked that it took him so long.
He was much more dedicated and motivated to get even better even though he was already well prepared to destroy this guy or anybody else.

Your mom does a good job in that. Dude, you still haven't answered why wikipedia would list Chuck as one of the students if it wasn't true. You think they would put his name their for no reason. At least I have a source, whereby you just keep saying you are right with no proof. You're the fool. And now you don't believe the tape too, go figure, lol. You say you take back about you saying you think Chuck would beat Bruce, but you keep arguing, you're a sore loser, lol.

You said you showed a video of Chuck saying himself, SAYING WHAT? You tell me which part of the video he said he can beat Bruce??? If you can't then Shut up. Everybody knows Bruce is way better, so there is no need to win you over anyways, it is already UNANIMOUS. hahahahahaha. later, were done.

Not necessarily. Karate is a different type of fighting than Bruce's own style of Kung Fu, so Chuck would have an easier time of 'scoring points' on a technical basis. It's like matching a UFC kickboxer against a conventional pugilist, when he'd be disqualified for using his legs under WBF rules.

Let's say Chuck could have beat Bruce in a karate match, Sugar Ray Leonard could beat Bruce in a boxing match, and the Tae Kwon Do champ could beat Bruce in a TKD match, it doesn't change the reality that they would all be a smudge on the ground in short order in a real no-holds-barred fight with Bruce.

Based on more than you have offered, and that's the point too.

I can also confirm that a 7th Degree Dan Black Belt in Kung Fu (he used to own a chain of Kung Fu studios in Toronto) told me that Bruce Lee was probably the most technically proficient. I also know that he wouldn't have challenged Bruce Lee who was like a raptor dinosaur.
:confused:

Well this doesnt really confirm anything... its just someone's opinion; who may or may not have a thing for dinosaurs

. There's martial arts movies out know that show things Bruce Lee never did, i.e Tony Jaa. He's awesome. But no one can determine who well he'd do in a real fight.

Tony Jaa is actually gymnast in Thailand (I think he was nationally ranked)...He only learned an older form of Muay Thai (Muay Boran) for the movie Ong Bak...
Jaa has never been a fighter and he would be demolished by ranked Muay Thai fighters or fighters from K-1 Max....

The producers of his movie made up some stories that he fought some Muay Thai fights but it's bullshit...

Why would Gracie be able to strangle Chuck to death and not Bruce Lee? Lee wasn't known for his ground work as well....

Royce was actually considered to be the worst of the Gracies....He's just the most recognized because of his fame from the early days of the UFC....
Rickson, Renzo and I'm pretty sure Royler as well were considered much more proficient grapplers then Royce...

Bruce was in a league of his own and he was adaptable to take on any style of fighter in a real fight without rules.
At 5' 7" and 135 lbs, of course he would prefer that the fight is not in tight on the ground.

Royce was simply an example that I used.
I never claimed or implied that he was the best grappler.
