I guess my feelings are this way because 1000+ years of study can't get Eastern Martial Artists into the top 20 at most weight classes, with the exception of Kazushi Sakuraba, who considers himself almost more of a wrestler than martial artists (or a trapper, or whatever you wanna call it--a form of submission wrestling). Eastern martial arts are pretty damned worthless, because for the most part they did nothing but practice kata's and worthless crap that isn't remotely practical. Try to get an Aikido wrist lock against are trained, resisting opponet and you'll see what I mean.
The one thing that I do respect about bruce, other than the fact that he was super fast and fun to watch, is that he was the first one to publicize that all this 1000+ years of training and "mastering" martial arts was total crap. He figured out what martial artists in the rest of the world already knew, that it doesn't amount to shit if you can't use it against a real opponet, but those others just aren't mentioned because they aren't famous actors.
And I'm changing my teacher choice from Chun Lee to Dhalsim, cause I wanna learn the hand trick and the fire breath.
Peace.
