BRUCE LEE...HOW DO YOU THINK HE WOULD COMPARE WITH TODAYS MMA FIGHTERS?

[O2BESOHUGE]

TweetHere are some of Bruce Lee's outstanding real life feats. All of this information is taken from various documentaries and magazines.

* Bruce Lee's striking speed from 2 feet away was five hundredths of a second.
* Bruce Lee could throw grains of rice up into the air and then catch them in mid-flight using chopsticks.
* Bruce did push ups using only his thumbs.
* Bruce could thrust his fingers through unopened cans of Coca-Cola. (This was when soft drinks cans were made of steel much thicker than today's aluminum cans.)
* Bruce was able to explode 150lb bags with a simple sidekick.
* Bruce once caved in a protective headgear made from heavy steel rods, rods that had previously withstood several blows from a sledgehammer.
* Lee's striking speed from three feet with his hands down by his side reached five hundredths of a second.
* Lee's combat movements were at times too fast to be captured on film at 24fps, so many scenes were shot in 32fps to put Lee in slow motion. Normally martial arts films are sped up.
* In a speed demonstration, Lee could snatch a dime off a person's open palm before they could close it, and leave a penny behind.
* Lee could perform push ups using only his thumbs
* Lee would hold an elevated v-sit position for 30 minutes or longer.
* Lee could throw grains of rice up into the air and then catch them in mid-flight using chopsticks.
* Lee performed one-hand push-ups using only the thumb and index finger
* Lee performed 50 reps of one-arm chin-ups.
* From a standing position, Lee could hold a 125 lb (57 kg) barbell straight out.
* Lee could break wooden boards 6 inches (15 cm) thick.
* Lee performed a side kick while training with James Coburn and broke a 150-lb (68 kg) punching bag
* In a move that has been dubbed "Dragon Flag", Lee could perform leg lifts with only his shoulder blades resting on the edge of a bench and suspend his legs and torso perfectly horizontal midair.
* Lee could use one finger to leave dramatic indentations on pine wood.

Tweetbruce lee has become more "myth" than man. i am not saying that he wasnt one of the best martial artists in the world if not the best. but he did fight the kung fu masters and many of his fights went for very long periods of time( they didnt have time limits)

in MMA his striking would be formidable (although many of his punches and kicks would have to be modified because of the threat of take down) but once on the ground he would be broken.

this topic gets beat up in MMA forums all the time and there is no way to prove either side.

he wasnt a superman.

Tweetyea i agree with jipped. striking he would be badass but on the ground? who knows
