Basically Joe Rogan says about Bruce Lee in this video.

Is that Bruce Lee was the first guru to bring in all disciplines or martial arts together as one.

He's the pioneer of MMA. To use everything that's useful from each martial art and the style is to not have a style.

To adapt and move like water.

 
He wasn't the first to cross-train and bring disciplines together.

He wasn't the first Chinese guy to train foreigners.

He was a great martial arts actor, who popularised kung fu and so made a great contribution to spreading the idea of martial arts training. There's no need to make a myth out of him.
 
It's a mistake to listen to Rogan about anything.

I'm not the biggest Rogan fan, but I'll listen pick out things that I like that make sense and I'll throw away the other things that are illogical that he says.

If he wasn't, who was?

I think if he isn't the first, he's definitely the first one that made it the most popular around the world. Just like Elvis was for Rock music.

If you're doing this with anything that sounds like information, you better fact check it twice from reliable sources, like wrapping your dick in two condoms before going into a dirty girl. (Don't actually wrap your dick in two condoms -- the friction they create makes them both unreliable.)

Yeah I know the internet is a wonderful tool.
 
He was like 135. He woulda gotten a cerebral edema by most in that division.
 
Who gives a shit?

He made awesome movies.
I don't care if Bruce Lee could fight in the UFC.

UFC has ruined good action flicks. I used to enjoy Van Damme doing the fucking Jazz splits while punching someone in the nuts mid fight.

Now, all i can think is: "There's no way he could do that without his opponent jumping into full mount".


UFC has made action flicks go from this.

To this.

Bruce Lee was peak martial arts. He also encouraged proficiency of NHB techniques to truly counter holes in other martial arts.
 
Joe lacks understanding on many topics he talks about, but at least he isn't immediately cynical.

I don't get upset when people don't know something, I can only be upset when people are being assholes.

Oppo research is a thing.
I listen and read lots of stuff that I know shouldn't be taken as gospel.
It's perfectly normal to take in information from an entire spectrum to create an educated opinion.
 
Two tards discussing an actor

You're right, listening to all kinds of bullshit and forming your own opinions is normal. Unfortunately, what's normal isn't what's factually correct, especially in America 2025.
