Very smooth quality picture here.

Spike is usually very cocky and self-centered. But you gotta admit he sure makes a great teacher when he makes an effort to.

@TheNeoxide i heard that the producers actually prefer the english dub

bruce lee!

@1iguerra I understand what you are talking about. But most of the basic kick aren't flashy but the high version of the kicks. Like an kick lead side kick, I just use the med to low version as does spike. But you are correct.

@RyuuRykoiu Not to be disrespectful in any way, but iv'e read through the book twice and yes, i do own it, as well as others. Bruce is brilliant no doubt. Iv'e also seen countless interviews with bruce and Inosanto, who specifically states that in all the real street confrontations that he saw Bruce deal with, all he did was block, stop the foot, and head but, then it was over after that. I'm aware it incorporates everything based on need, but you rarely need to use fancy techniques, if at all.

@1iguerra Do in a real fight*

[RyuuRykoiu]

@1iguerra I study in Jeet Kune Do and it is a martial art of many, Bruce combined a lot of different art's into one. Most of his kick aren't ''Flashy'' most are leading side kicks and hook kicks which are basic kicks. Spike does jeet kune do. All of those kicks and techniques Bruce Lee would so in real fight. Read '"Tao Of Jeet Kune Do'' btw so you'll understand more.

[1iguerra]

One of the only things that pisses me off about this show is that I cannot find out what martial art Spike uses. Yeah, there a lot of Bruce Lee references, and yeah it SAYS it's Jeet Kune Do, but the creators were probably just Bruce Lee fanboys because Spike typically uses kicks and techniques that Bruce would've never used in a real fight. Spike's moves are too flashy, and are more closely akin to some mix of Savate, and Hapkido, not Jeet Kune Do.
