The "Royce Gracie of Kicking" hasn't come to the UFC yet; but that would have been Bruce. His sense of timing, distance, movement... were as impressive as his ability to channel power. And he could channel some freakin' power! How many people in the UFC today could side kick a board dangling from a string? I'm talking about a "speed break", not a "power break" through concrete... Now that's SNAP and power, ladies and gentlemen. A one inch punch from Bruce would break ribs even though 4oz gloves and even if he were stuck below a wrestler's mount. And that's IF the wrestler makes it past the kick for the takedown. In Bruce's eyes he'd be coming in for the shoot in Hollywood slow motion, -and you know Bruce's kicks would be spot on. I'm just sayin'...

Bruce Lee would be destroyed. He wasn't a fighter. You want to fight you get someone to get you some fights. You don't spend all day on a movie set. Bruce had horrible vision. If he trained and learned Jiu Jitsu he would do alright. But hes gotta train just like we do. As far as his Judo and Wrestling. No it was not good. He hardly knew any until he got threw around by Gene Lebell a bit.

@ Peter Hirt Um.........Bruce Lee is great, we all love him but don't make him more than he his. He is the leading candidate for the greatest martial artist of all time however do these kicks look impressive.........no.

Bruce Lee trained alot of judo cround techniques, also I think he did Hapkido.
The dude did alot. thats what JKD is all about. MMA in other words, take the techniques from what ever martial art that works for you and roll with it. Bruce Lee vs Helio question : Helio did bjj. Bruce did mma

Bruce Lee was the most influential martial artist ever! Bruce Lee's style was for the streets, not the ring. Bruce was a visionary, of self defense, his concepts to this day are still practical! BUT....if you want to talk about NUT HUGGING....with superpowers. Bruce in his prime could not compete with a CURRENT top 10 to 15 mma fighter in his weight; maybe after with 2 years of bjj and wrestling. The magic of movies can make anyone look better than they really are...the little girl in the movie Kick Ass looked like a super ninja but I'm sure she didn't know a lick of martial arts. If you argue....well i saw his demonstrations....again was it live rolling , was he competing. NO!!! As far as speed breaking and breaking boards....Boards don't hit back. STOP NUT HUGGING...live in reality

In an account of a fight Bruce Lee had in the dojo his wife Linda said Bruce hit the guy dude went off running after chasing him Bruce took the guy to the ground and submitted him. Bruce trained with Gene Labell so im pretty sure he knew some aspect of the ground. When Chuck Norris had him in the armbar in Way of the Dragon Lee bit him in the ankle he choreographed all his fight scenes so from that you can see he knew what an armbar was.

you guys don't believe there are kung fu masters? for real. There is this guy who teaches Hop Gar kung fu, his school is about 22 miles from where I live. This guy is 80 something years old and he is from the philipines. he is the fastest, most accurate and deadliest fighter I know. My friend knows his name I don't know how to spell it but it's Nakua *I believe. And this dude did a demonstration on his students and destroyed them which is typical. But when my friend asked if he could throw at attack at him he told him to come on up and throw whatever the hell he wanted at him. So my friend went on up and threw a really good jab, and Nakua dodged it and grabbed his hand and cranked his wrist and he went down. He kept the lock on and told my friend where to hit exposed vital organs and all this shit. This guy didn't know what was coming at him yet he was still able to basically catch a punch out of the AIR. I know you guys will thinking I'm just talking a lot of shit and having a laugh, but I'll go to his gym and get video if necessary.
