It's all happened faster than anyone can track. After the guy comes to, his dobak is taken off and his entire upper torse is the ugly purple of a serious bruise.
I think Mr. Lee could have done the same thing. You might not be into the whole "mental" thing that is concommittant with traditional martial arts, but I've actually seen what it can do with my own eyes. I think if Bas threw a combo at Bruce, or even Kwan, he'd be in for a hell of a surprise.
That's just my input.

If any of these 3 inch punches worked, people would be using them in combat sports. You had better believe that. The reality is that they don't have practical application, which is why you never see them in any MMA fights. I'm most certain El Guapo could beat Bruce Lee and so could many other MMA fighters that are actually Lee's weight. Traditional martial arts have their place but their super secret techniques of devastation are pure myth. Boxing, wrestling, and jiu-jitsu may not be as elegant as Kung-Fu, but they work.
