I'm not saying he would thump anyone in the UFC but I wouldn't put it past him if he was given a chance in his prime.
Not really, and I think you mean BJJ? Lee studied many styles (3 major) to form his own hybrid style called Jeet Kune Do. I don't remember him training in any one philosophy except his own. Especially towards the end..
If you guys fail to see what its all about, why don't you learn? Right now they are considering removing something or another from the Olympics just so they can include Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. I personally think that says a lot about the sport. It's technical competition that draws, if you just see two guys rolling around on the floor, you only watched for five seconds and didn't give it a chance, your mind is already made up, so why ask?

Cool, I wasn't aware of that. I'm just remembering what I learned doing a small study on him in grade school years ago. Certainly worthwhile, and one of the most effective ways of defending yourself.
Great example of just how effective it really is: Gracie BJJ dominates SWAT and Police Force
Doitagain, give it a rest, guy.. At what point did I say anything bad to you? I even gave you 5 despite the fact that we disagree, stop trollin' for my posts, please. Your arguments are bland.. They didn't just add curling and swimming recently, those are past times and thats probably why they're there.. If not, I don't know why. I was just saying that more people are accepting it as a legitimate sport, so you are in the minority of people who don't like it. MMA is fast becoming one of the most poular sport's out there.
You keep runnin' off claiming my lack of intelligence with no reason.. You're just showing your own ignorance, not mine. Keep jockin', it's amusing.

I use to be active in martial arts, but with the current back injury I can't really do squat.. I'm helping my girlfriend train though..
I don't drink much anymore, and I don't do prok rinds. Basically I sit there and watch it while hittin' my bong and eatin Nature Valley cashew granola bars.

Any of you watch Spartacus: Blood and Sand, on Starz?
Good stuff, lots of slaves, galdiators, fighting, killing, and even more tits and sex than anything!
