The chance of Bruce Lee winning a ping pong match against a Pro player ( with nunchucks), is about as close to he would win an MMA match.  :D

If Lee was alive in this era of MMA I have no doubt he would be a contender. In fact, the style or philosophy he created (Jeet Kune Do) is considered one of the first modern "mixed" or hybrid martial arts. He took what was good from several fighting system and dropped what didn't work. JKD is a mixture of Kung Fu, boxing, fencing, Judo, grappling, etc.

Bruce Lee started modern MMA. There is a reason he is called "The Father of mixed martial arts."

And the ping pong stuff is all fake.

may I ask why Nokia attached their name to the video then? Fake or not, I was very entertained. Maybe it is not fake and he WAS THAT GOOD ?
It was great fun to watch. [thumbsup]

the funny thing is that bruce lee might have made the primitive mma back in the day in a way.

But his whole philosophy would steer away from the modern MMA the sport since he viewed some of the other martial arts as going the sporting route, like judo and tae kwon do, and he viewed them as not being the best combat style since they were geared for a different purpose.

Modern MMA like UFC is a "sport" in that there are rules of competition, Its not a street fight, and that would go against the whole JKD way of doing things which from what i read is supposed to be a pure combat fighting style. 

I would say JKD is the predecessor of something like Krav Maga that is used for combat not sports at all.

Right, more along the lines of:

"how can I eliminate the threat as quickly as possible using any means necessary,"

From what I've read, it's the real deal. It's just being used by Nokia for marketing.

i agree the modern mma is a sport with rules of competition and such.

yes the earlier days of ufc i think they "discouraged" but there was no rule against groin kicks and eye gouging.  so it was a different time then.  just like football used to use leather helmets and you could do clothesline tackles.  the "sport" of mma has matured over the years.

MMA is more of a street fighting style.  Unfortunately to make it a sport where a fighter can have more than one match there are rules.  but put one of these guys in a street fight the other guy is in for a month in the hospital.  Now Bruce ate breathed and shit JKD.  He can do some amazing things but the ping pong and match thing is a bit much. It looks like they took raw footage from "Enter the Dragon" and used some of his warm up film to make these videos.

Damn....


I think for the sake of awesomeness, I'll leave myself thinking that it was still Bruce Lee....and that the other guy was Chuck Norris....and that Bruce killed him in the end....
