re: Let's talk about Bruce Lee

"Bruce Lee was awesome. Absolutely awesome. He was fast as lightning, hit like a heavyweight. Great foot work, great defense, great offense and smart. The man was a true genius in martial arts.He could been world lightweight champion if he so chose. He was that good." - Bob Wall, Karate Champion in Black Belt interview 1994

"I've seen a lot of martial artists over the years, but Bruce Lee was the best. I was much older than Bruce when we met, but I was very experienced. Still, I could never touch him. He was so damn fast." - Jhoon Ree, Father of American Taekwondo

Of course, neither of these were biased to try to get what was then an extremely marginal sport any kind of publicity. Pumping Lee's nads was a sure fire way to do it.

For being this all-time bad-arse, he sure didn't go out of his way to ever put his reputation on the line.
