Is Brandon lee as good of a martial artist as Bruce Lee?
One opinion:
No. Although Brandon had excellent genes, and the best mentor, he didn't have nearly the experience, or fanaticism that Bruce had as a martial artist.
Another opinion:
Bruce was an absolute prodigy. One in millions. Just because a prodigy has an offspring, doesn't mean they will be the same. Brandon would be the first to say he wasn't nearly as good as his dad. People today are always using Bruce as the platinum standard by which all others are judged. A popular hypothetical question posed today is, how would Bruce stack up against today's MMA fighters in the UFC. There are many different opinions. So, I will state mine. Bruce would do well! Now, if you put him in the ring where he left off before he passed, he would not do as well as he would if he lived and therefore kept learning. However, his tremendous speed and power could afford him many so called mistakes if you will... So, my point is just because Bruce may not have been up on the latest grappling moves, he was so good at what he did that perhaps a more rounded fighter would not be able to handle him.
Then comes the issue of rules. People say it's b.s. that Bruce could beat a professional MMA fighter on the street when there are no rules. The argument is that an MMA fighter could just as easily bite and poke eyes if it were allowable. Well, then the converse may also apply. Bruce could do equally well in the ring. All he would have to do would be to remove those techniques? All I can say is that people who witnessed Bruce first hand, including guys that have been among the best of today, say Bruce was much better than anyone they ever witnessed. So back to the original question....Is Brandon as good as Bruce....SIMPLY put... NOPE.
How do you get Bruce Lee collectibles authenticated?
Like any celebrity prop or posession including Bruce Lee you preferably need a certificate of authenticity from the source ie friend, family who obtained the item directly from the celebrity, or Bruce when he passed away.
Autographs can be authenticated independently, and also movie used items can of course be authenticated by closely studying stills of the said prop being used on film by the star.
Many items were gifted to friends by Bruce and may have changed hands in the last 40 years, so even though they're original memorabilia, may not have a documented certificate, but they're still genuine items.
Bruce was a living start for such a short time, there are few possessions of his around 40 nyears on, hence they're so valuable.
