Would Bruce Lee even stand a chance against a rawler like Tank Abbott or any mediocre mma fighter?

Bruce Lee was an actor above all else
He was not as good as Hollywood would want you to believe
Now Chuck Norris on the other hand, he could actually kick ass

I hate to burst everyone's bubbles but the martial artists of even the last few decades would be killed by the martial artists of today. Traditional martial arts (and all martial arts until pretty recently) emphasize kata and have no sparring. If you've never done it, it's more like choreography. The coach makes you memorize moves that assume your opponent is going to react in precise ways that they almost certainly won't. That works against people who have absolutely no training, but if those guys fought someone who even knew boxing and wrestling they'd get their asses kicked.

They also don't really teach how to close distance and cut angles. Modern martial arts do.

Bruce Lee famously never actually even sparred, much less competed. He was like 5 foot 7 and 130 lbs. He was an actor. It's fun to pretend but the original UFC had no weight classes. Guess what happened? The mythos that there's some special technique that means a really small guy will consistently beat a really big guy was just that -- a myth.

As for Chuck Norris I don't know much about him besides the memes, but he's like 154 lbs. He did know BJJ, but his striking from what I can tell is all traditional. I'd bet money he'd do better than bruce lee but probably get his ass kicked.

It's the same reason the chess masters of the last decade would get clobbered by the chess masters of today.

lol no he fucking didn't. He did those bogus karate tournaments in the 80s or whatever.

Bruce Lee literally learned all forms of martial arts under the sun and invented mma

>I don't know much about him besides the memes
His most notorious accomplishment in martial arts was that he was the first westerner to get an 8th degree black belt in Taekwondo

did everyone forget that chuck norris was trained by bruce lee

Bruce Lee was:
An excellent self-promoter
A good actor
A pretty good martial artist
A fighter of unknown, if any, capability

Seriously, he had almost zero documented fighting track record. The closest to a sanctioned fight was a tournament when he was 15, or some shit like that.

Martial arts were in their infancy in the West at that time, so you could say crap like "these are killing techniques, that's why we do non-contact sparring and kata only" with far less scrutiny. Bruce Lee was fast, we know that much. He also evidently had fair power behind his strikes, but arguably no more than a trained boxer or kickboxer. But as he says in his own movie, boards don't hit back. There is no evidence at all that Lee could take a hit without crumpling, or escape a hold, or whatever.

Dying young is arguably the best thing that happened to him: it allowed him to never once have to live up to the persona he had created.

And yet, /fit/ will insist that pussy is worthless and not mandatory for mental health

>>76402321 (OP)
boy am i glad to be in white club

>>76402742
unironically half of my issues in life could be solved by having a stable girlfriend

>>76403547
Half your issues would be solved if you were the kind of guy who could get a decent gf, you mean.

>>76403582
no, if I meant that than that's what I would have said, silly. The social and psychological gains brought by having a partner are insane

>>76402321 (OP)
Tank flatlines him. Too much power differential against an especially powerful heavyweight.

>>76402321 (OP)
lee was like 140lbs and squatted less than 2 plates

he would be btfo by any 180-200lbs man who lifts weights

>>76402321 (OP)
Bruce lee was part Jewish, ofc he can't really fight.
