Don't worry dude. I think Bruce has been a GIANT in modern martial arts. A demi god. A true leader. But he was only human and the poor guy died 30 years ago. It is the insane religeous zealot attitude that I'm having a pop at. They are turning the man into a myth, and do his memory far more harm than they could ever realise.

That exactly what Bruce didn't want to happen. He was a great man, and I am inspired by him (along with many other martial artists around), but he was only human. He's not Batman or Captain America, and doesn't have superpowers. I'm sure even he can get hit one or two times!

I believe his philosophy empowered him with the freedom to look at other arts and "find your own truth." However, I just get the impression his journey was no where near complete and there are a lot of stones he left unturned prior to his death. Just a theory anyway!

He was a unique guy, but only human like the rest of us. Heres a question - did Bruce look at what the Vale Tudo guys in Brazil were doing in the 1950s?

Would JKD have anything like as much Kali in it as it does now? If not, why do many believe that Dan Inosanto has got it right?

Dan took JKD with him on his Path in Martial Arts.
Had Bruce Lived it May have gone in other Directions.

Bruce Did Use Some FMA in his Moveies as well as Grappling.
Bruce Said Take what is Useful & Reject What does not Work for U.

Hey Luch, at least you have got some sense. Same to you Great Sage, Bruce was an extremely creative, innovative person.

Knowledge without the wisdom to use it is worthless.
