@YoungKALO1 But no disrespect u should do more research on Bruce Lee because he was due to his conditioning, skills, wisdom, and philosophy the greatest martial artist that the world has ever known, and as far as being punch as fast and kick as hard as Bruce Lee especially as a beginner I would have to quote Obi Wan from Star Wars II when Anakin thought that he rivaled Yoda as a swordsman, ''ONLY IN YOUR MIND MY YOUNG APPRENTICE.''LOL

the death of Bruce lee was equivalent to the burning of Alexandria for the martial arts community.

As I understand it teachers like B.P. Chan, Wong Jack Man and William CC Chen were already teaching non-chinese during Bruce Lee's time. Bruce indeed popularized kung-fu, but many of his achievements were told in a way that construct a mythology about the man. Some kung-fu forms have meditative quality and other internal purposes. If he were alive today, I wonder if he would change some of his earlier assumptions about traditional martial arts. He might've started MMA craze earlier than Gracies.

a lot of jeet kune do schools don't teach Bruce Lee's art as Bruce lee intended. If I were to learn JKD, i would want to learn from someone like Dan Inosanto

@YoungKALO1 Bruce would've loved Star Wars!

@matreyia I agree. but you will see many schools (not all of course) that will have lots of students all practicing the forms individually. I feel that an hr of practice with another person is more use-full than an hr without. Of course if there is no partner then any practice is better than nothing. I find that many schools over emphasize the form and make it more important than the purpose behind it. Also, you will often get different explanations of the set from different people.

@cornwallgeezer I agree..and it becomes more obvious when you are a Wing Chun practitioner.

[matreyia]

"Why not practice the motions with a person instead of doing it in a set and not know what it's for?" D. Inosanto.

If the teacher does not explain what it is for, then you're right, it's useless. If it is taught correctly and explained, then the form/set is indispensable for habituating the student to perform the ideal most efficient motions of any technique. When he is without a partner, he can still study the technique & movements. That is why.

-continued- After his death this concept was continued by Inosanto and many others. JKD is now a concept of blending arts and accepting that a person’s attributes can have a bigger affect on the outcome of a fight than just their chosen art. Bruce used his fame to help plant the seeds for these concepts. If Bruce wouldn't have done it someone else would have eventually. I still give credit to the skill, talent and intelligence of Bruce. Like him or not he influenced martial arts today.

Bruce Lee was one of the most influential martial artists in history. It was NOT because he was in movies, invented secret techniques or beat people up. It was because he was a pioneer in the martial arts. He broke tradition by teaching to westerners and by not being confined by “styles or system” all of which evolve based on a line of instructors and their personality and abilities. He would learn from any system and freely adapt and progress without the rules and limitations. Continued-

He said it him self, '' in the orient they are way too secretive.'' well since Bruce's death wing chun has evolved much more than in his time. In my view it wasn't until way after Bruce's death that these so called secrets were known in the west.
