By Apollo Go To PostHot.Yeah, I remember reading about it
Wasn’t there a rumor this movie gets weird during the last half?
Kind of surprised we haven't gotten another trailer for the Joker movie that's coming out in like a month
They are showing at the Toronto Film Festival in two weeks, I'll bet they will release a new trailer around there. Movie is only out in October so there's still a lot of time.
By masud Go To PostGood boys is hilarious and sweet.Radio trailer for it makes it sound like there's nothing to it beyond 'kids please watch this, there's swearing in it'
By Not Go To PostAnd I'm sure you all could have beat him up too if you really wanted to
I mean any modern purple belt in BJJ would make short work of him
While Bruce Lee was building a myth. Two brothers named Helio and Carlos Gracie were building their legend.

We get it, (insert martial arts) is the bestest and Bruce Lee is nothing compared to (insert martial arts rank student)

Carlos and Helio invented a martial art that is shown to work week in and week out. Their students have produced some of the best fighters ever. While Bruce Lee was showing off in movies the Gracie’s were fighting bigger men all over the world proving their methods could work in real world situations. Then their children started what would become the biggest fighting league in the world.
Look I understand that Bruce Lee is very important to the way Asian-American men are seen in pop culture and he was cool as shit but his contribution to martial arts is almost none.
Even the bullshit people believe about him being the first to mix the arts is false. Mixing fighting styles has been around since the Greek Olympics and Japan has been mixing eastern arts for hundred of years

Doesn't change the fact that there are a lot of martial artists talking about how their (rank) martial artist can beat Bruce Lee.

What are we talking about here? What sort of rule would the fight be in? Would the challenger have the same conditioning as Bruce Lee? Will both be in the same weight class?
It's all just a fantasy on how a popular strike based martial artist will fall against a practitioner of a ground based martial arts.
Anyway, do explain why Bruce Lee can get defeated by a purple belt Brazillian jiu jitsu please.

Look I’ve seen this in action. If a person can’t defend against a single or double they’re going down. Bruce Lee had hardly any training on the ground and by Judo Gene’s own admission basic knowledge of Judo. There’s a saying that a Judo black belt is a BJJ blue belt and it’s mostly true. Over the years of training i saw many high level judoka get defeated by blue belts.
Helio was a small frail man that fought men 30+ pounds bigger than him. He developed BJJ because of how small and sick he was at a young age.
And BJJ doesn’t have rules except (outside of tournaments) hurt the person trying to hurt you.
Anyone talking about who Bruce Lee could beat or not beat doesn't even understand Wushu. And to say Bruce's contribution is almost none lol ok.
Chinese martial arts are all talk no bite. Every Chinese fighter gets their shit pushed back when they try to actually fight someone with any skill. It’s all flashy bullshit.
But hey at least they’re not Aikido masters aka the biggest grifters in martial arts

Thought this conversation had been left in the dirt along with Chuck Norris jokes and YTMND
Dammit, Quentin.
Dammit, Quentin.
I don't know why we're taking a guy who probably killed his wife at his word? It was a flashback to his version of events, and who knows how convincing we're supposed to find it.
That doesn't answer the question. Why would a blue belt BJJ practitioner beat Bruce Lee? How about the level of conditioning? There's a lot of factors that play into a duel that you just can't simplify it into "a blue belt BJJ can beat Bruce Lee"
Also I dont like to shit on any martial arts, but as much as there's some unbearable mysticism surrounding Bruce Lee, the same can be said as well about BJJ and the Gracie family history of fights.
Not to mention that thinking I'm annoyed by those posts because Bruce Lee is important to Asians. Jesus, I'm not even chinese.

It's simple. Bruce Lee had a lack of ground game. His stance was too wide and legs were stiff while moving. We have video of how he fought. A blue belt has to display a sense of when to single, double, and hip toss on top of the basics locks and guard. The way Bruce stood is like an invite to a single leg take down
and what mysticism around the Gracie family? We have evidence of what their style of martial arts can do.

To be fair though most martial arts are based on mysticism. Think any MMA fans can talk about why conditioning can be the biggest factor, especially when we are talking about pure martial artists.
There was this no holds barred martial arts competition in Malaysia once. Muay Thai steamrolled the competition because their body is so conditioned that in a fight between the light weight class, they literally knock people out or in one match, broke a competitior's hip with a simple kick. It was one of the most ridiculous set of matches I've seen.

I mean just talking about martial arts as only a form of combat is fucking stupid. This conversation is fucking dumb.
OK, I'll stop. I think BJJ is fine. Just that the Gracie family history is full of 'moral victories', disputing losses, and beating fighters that won against them with pipes.
There's a ton of bullshit mixed with the truth.

Look at how far that front leg is out and how stiff he is on the step back. That’s single leg city right there.
There’s another one of him doing a demo and his stance is wide as fuck.
By Destiny's Abortion Go To PostI mean just talking about martial arts as only a form of combat is fucking stupid. This conversation is fucking dumb.
Martial arts were literally made for combat first and everything else last
Wrestling and Judo were built off defending yourself from someone brandishing weapons, disarming them, and making sure they don’t get back up
......no, you really can't take the stance he takes against a punching bag or a striking opponent and don't think he won't adjust it against grapplers. Especially if he even have a basic knowledge of judo. and even that is something that does my head in.
Judo Gale's quote was about Bruce Lee in 1966, and it would be weird to think that was the gist of his knowledge despite there being 6 years between that quote and his death.

That's a lotta words for an actor that never competed professionally.
But I am of the opinion that you can be great at your craft and arrogant/cocky/showy and it be okay. Michael Jordan and even Larry Bird are prime examples.

On that part Quentin Tarantino might be right about it. Bruce Lee was pretty cocky when he was younger. He probably mellowed down after but it's not a reach to say that he was temperamental.
people are giving Tarantino too much credit lol he just wrote a scene that he thought would be funny. I don't think he tried to intentionally diss or empower the myth of Lee. But in fairness, if anyone knows how he acted in Hollywood while shooting or at least heard enough about it to form an idea, it's probably a Hollywood director.
Anyway, the movie was alright. Some great scenes here and there but overall, not his best work (or even close to it).

I think BJJ being this unstoppable force became exposed when all these black belt BJJ fighters got embarrassed in the UFC against average wrestlers and strikers.
You say Bruce can’t defend himself on the ground, BJJ is useless unless they can get to the ground. You can’t get that opportunity if you’re catching jabs to the face

Finally watched "Sorry to bother you" and I enjoyed it...the white voices got me dead, but it reaffirmed my belief in Tessa Thompson not being attractive.

I've been rewatching Veronica Mars and she is gorgeous.
She’s boring as fuck tho. One of the worst actresses to get a push lately. Brie Larson might the only person worse than her

She looks like a pug to me, it could also be that as a lightskin person her lightskin powers don't work on me either.
