Would Bruce Lee compete in mixed martial arts if he were alive?

Answer 1

If Bruce Lee were alive would he compete in the UFC mma? I don't think so, and the reason I say this is because of his philosophy of stripping away the rules of unarmed combat. In today's arena there are rules or regulations that decide for the individuals so that no one is killed unnecessarily as a result of fighting. Such rules forbids the grabbing or hitting of the groins, poking of the eyes etc... applications of rules and regulations make it sporty and therefore people can learn from their mistakes.

He studied many different Martial Arts because he found that not one particualr system of combat held all the answers. True, compared to today's armed fighting techniques which are more scientific than artistic, at some point along the road to self discovery I have learned this truth, martial arts without weapons are too sporty and weapons without martial arts is too mechanical. With respect to that phenomena of combat martial arts are not only beneficial for the health and vitality of the individual, but also serve as an effective method of unarmed or hand to hand combat. Bear in mind that maritial arts were designed for hand to hand combat not for armed warfare.

Remeber this, when Bruce Lee fought he did not apply the rules or regulations of any of the unarmed systems. However, since he was (and will be for some time to come) an irreplaceable person, he had a unique ferocity of spirit in hand to hand combat. I strongly believe this truth, he was destined from long ago to be who he was.

Respectfully,

Bruce Lee (traditional :李小龍) (born Lee Jun-fan; 27 November 1940 - 20 July 1973) was a Hong Kongese actor,[3] martial arts instructor,[4] philosopher, film director, film producer, screenwriter, founder of Jeet Kune Do, and the son of Cantonese opera actor Lee Hoi-Chuen. He is widely considered by many commentators, critics, media and other martial artists to be the greatest and most influential martial artist of all time,[5] and a pop culture icon of the 20th century.[6][7] He is often credited with changing the way Asians were presented in American films.[8] Lee was born in San Francisco's Chinatown on 27 November 1940 to parents from Hong Kong and was raised in Kowloon with his family until his late teens. Lee returned to San Francisco at the age of 18 to claim his U.S. citizenship and receive his higher education.[9] It was during this time that he began teaching martial arts, which soon led to film and television roles.
