I saw an interview with Jackie Chan where they asked him about that. He said he knows people who are better that Bruce Lee, I believe him.

There may be, but I think it was cool how he developed a martial system that was less about form and more about real world self defense
fighting.

I saw a cool special on, I think Discovery Channel, which was all about the science behind fighting. There was one part where a Tae Kwan Do master was being tested for reflexes and reaction time, and it ended up that he was as fast as a Cobra or something. Pretty sweet!

well im no martial arts master, but ive seen footage of b.l. that ive never seen anywhere else

Some of his Jeet Kune Do books were pretty cool reads. He was big on being aware of one's surroundings and using what was available to defend ones self.

I don't know how he would compare on the speed test, but I know he was impressive.

Do you happen to have a link? Because he actually stated the opposite in "How Bruce Lee changed the world".

[Dudebro]

No I don't atm but I could be mistaken, it's been awhile.

I loved the way bruce lee kept workin out even when his back was broke.

Jackie Chan does say Bruce Lee was the best in the documentary "How Bruce Lee Changed the World". But he was being paid to host a tribute to him. He might of said differently somewhere else or he could of meant best marital arts actor. In another interview he says Bruce Lee was a hero.

I guess your right about that, but I would also call Lee a hero. I would also call Jackie Robinson a hero. Maybe Chan meant Hero along those lines.

Yeah thats a conspiracy theory, that involves the Triad community. He was challenged by the highest ranked Grandmaster in America(Wong Jack Man) because they felt he was breaking a certain code. Non-Asians were not allowed to know there 1500-ish years of technique and thought. Bruce beat Wong within minutes and kept teaching. I believe the story goes after that they poisened him causing the brain edema.

I think justin might be thinking of the Bruce Lee movie that was made years ago. I remember they played up the curse thing(wasn't it the White Lotus society or w/e?).

My personal joke:

Chuck Norris needs to stop sky diving,
one Grand Canyon is enough!
