Can Bruce Lee beat everyone else?

Answer 1

Bruce Lee's skill has always been common in the world of Chinese Martial Arts, so he can not be considered in the strictest definition of the term to be a "master." NEVERTHELESS, the speed by which he acquired his expertise, that was unheard of. See, even a gifted student of martial arts, would need a good 20 to 30 years, starting from a very young age, to acquire the skill Bruce Lee had at the age of 30. Again Lee's skill has always been common in China, however the speed by which he acquired his "Kung Fu," that was unheard of. No one, and I mean no one, reached expertise that quickly, in that regard Lee is unique in Chinese history, even if he isn't its greatest martial arts master. The world of Chinese Kung Fu, especially the Shaolin temple, has produced several men and women who in fact surpassed Lee in terms of skill, however, all those men and women had the good fortune of being able to live long enough to be able to train in Kung Fu for 40 years of their lives or more. Hung Hei Kung, the founder of Hung Gar Chuan, can easily be considered as a better fighter than Bruce Lee back when he was alive. Same with the legendary Wong Fei Hung, one of the "ten tigers of Canton." Could Bruce Lee beat anybody? When he was alive, sure; however he was alive in a time period where there weren't many masters left in the world, not even China. Certainly Lee would not have been able to beat Yim Wing Chun, the lady who created the fighting style he practiced; Yim Wing Chun, eventually became a master in her own right. You know that coin trick Lee is famous for? Yim Wing Chun was the one who invented it; she was doing it before Bruce Lee was even born. Also, the coin trick is the trademark of all Wing Chun experts; the martial art is known for its prodigious hand speed, I've even said myself on Yahoo answers, the fastest fists in martial arts belong to Wing Chun experts. Properly trained ones from genuine lineage schools. If by "everyone else" you mean, everyone in America who does martial arts, probably; the man trained like a fanatic. I certainly don't dedicate 14 hours of my day practicing, do you? Do you know anyone who does? Caveat

I find that I must add; Bruce Lee (the famous martial artist) is dead, deceased, no longer alive - as such the chances of his corpse arising from the grave and trouncing anyone is, by the laws of probability, 1 to the infinite minus 1 against (Although I'm sure Ghosthunters will be there if he does).
