bruce was a good martial artist but there are shaolin monks out there who can fight and do other things 100 times better an he is nothing compared to them

i do agree that monks kick butt and are better than any famouse or non famouse martil artist, but bruce is the best known martial artist next to monks. by the way it was his 2 fingered pushups not 1. And he did elevated v sits for only 30 minutes, which is still pritty cool.

It was the one fingered pushups. thumbs don't count as a finger you fucking retard!!! also, there's only one person in the world who could do the one finger handstand, not all the monks!

well someone got out the wrong side of the bed, whats up? wake up 2 find your bf wasnt there. anyway there are at least 2 guys in the world that can do it cos ive seen em.
Not sure how good monks actually are at fighting but ill agree they've got next to super human powers.

A little comment to Bruce Leeroy:
If thumbs don't count as a finger, what do you call it if one did push-ups on his thumbs then? No-finger push-ups..?

there is more than just one guy who can do it, i have seen video footage of the guy who can, and pictures of other monks doing it without using a wall to support them. also, most of the 10 year old monks can do it using two fingers (and only on one hand) so it is just a mater of time until they become strong enough to be able to handle one finger.

the monks are extremly good fighters, the wushu training ones arn't as great, but even they would be able to beat most fighters, they do more than just forms in the temple

i stand corrected. the video that i saw said that he's the only person in the world that was able to do this. anyways, why do people say that the wushu monks aren't that great.

your source was correct, because it is the same video, but that video is years old, and cannot speak for todays time...
the reason people think that wushu sucks is because its not a fighting style, since in a fight, say karate, will kick its arse people think its shit... but that theory is shit
just people they don't fight doesn't make it any less of a martial art. But they are some of the toughest people around, i can't keep up with their training... they're crazy people. but there are monks who still train in traditional shaolin arts, and other kung fu styles, and they are the best fighters in the world.
i do around 12-16 hours of training a week (just in class, not including home) and they do that amount a day, and start when they are really young.
people steriotype the monks into not being able to fight because wushu has come to dominate shaolin (it fits mroe with their bhuddist beliefs, not fighting and all)

just go to ebaumsworld.com and you'll see the video of the guy who does it. for some reason it says he's the only person in the world that can do it.

thats where i saw it last... and it is an old video

hey bruce leeroy wtf what i do to you i didnt know that thumbs didnt count! you got problems and if you want to calll me names come on over and say it to my face even with my jaw brace ill kick ur butt.

i apologize for calling you names. i was in a bad mood that day because all this shit was happening. just curious, are you in any martial art and how old are you?

I forgive you, no im currently not in any martial artes but I am a 4th degree black belt in tae kwan do, I have studyed wing chung all my life, I am a master in both Hapkido& kumdo, I have studyed 4 of the five animal styles tiger crane snack and lepard, I have also studyed kung fu for a large period of time, i was enrolled in karate but when i reached yellow i quit didnt like it, And lastly my father has taught me some Xin Yi Liu He Quan which he has studyed with my fathers friend Master Liu Xiao Ling , Im 19, going on 20. how about you?

Militaryman, I see that you have a lot of experience in martial art, but it's odd that you are not training any martial art at this moment.
You seam like a guy who's training everyday.

i ment that im not learning anything new im just improving on what i alredy know. like for a tornado kick im trying to kick even higher then i can now.

bruce lee beat a shaolin monk within 3 mins and can to do v sits for hours if you dont belive me go to google video and also to the guy that said monks can do 1 fingered hand stands thats a bunch of bull shit!!!!!! bruce lee kicked monks asses thats why he had earned the right to teach people in America!!!!!!! dumbassss

the one fingered hand stand is not bull shit, i have pictures, there is video footage etc etc etc... you cannot deny that...
bruce coulnd't do them for hours, as far as i have heard it was half an hour or something
and just because he beat a monk, doesn't mean he is better than the monks, it means he is better than that monk (same applies visa versa)

i'm fourteen and am getting my black belt in taekwon do tomorrow. i quit karate after 2 weeks. i train for 2 and a half hours a day.

I thought you had to be over 16 years old or something to get the black belt in tae kwon do.

Btw, five_animals is correct.

at the tae kwon do that i'm at, you are able to get your black belt at younger ages as long as you meet the credentials like forms, sparring, discpline, etc... oh yeah, bob the builder, Bruce is the best fighter that will ever live, but don't diss up the monks, they're wicked too.

in some karate styles, there are junior black belts, which you get if you earn a black belt but are still too young to do what the of age people do... could that also apply for tkd?

i never knew about the junior black belt for karate,but a black belt is a black belt in tkd, no matter what age.

i only heard of it in Australia's Blitz magazine.
there was an article on this kid who was so good he got an adults black belt even though he was too young, and should have been getting a juniors black belt... this has been the only time i have heard of it

i myself don't even train with kids my age, i go with the adults so when i fight a kid my size, he better watch out. and i'm not so bad with fighting people 6 feet tall. the thing that i've never believed in is "styles" of fighting and it's good at my tkd place because we don't do the traditional tkd really because at times we apapt from other ways of fighting like jeet kune do, wing chun, jujitsu, and simply what would be the most effective way of appraoching a situaution. oh yeah, just curious, how much does it cost you guys for your black belt test. it cost me $400 and my teacher says that most schools charge $1000! is it just me, or is Jackie Chan getting a bit commercial? and has anyone heard anything about Tony Jaa's new movie, "Sword"?

were you serious when you said that you have the extended knowledge of all those martial arts? if so, damn! you must be awesome.

for my black sash grading it is around $500-$600 or something.
as far as i can tell, he doesn't have all the knowledge or skills of the other arts, his club just uses certain aspects of the style to further benefit its own

jachi chan would beat every one of them combined

Well to start off, you spelt Jackie wrong. And my second point is that Jackie Chan is more show than actual fighting because of the fact that he does more flips and shit than he actually does fighting. Bruce Lee was a fighter, not an acrobatist.

really and truly i think half the people that say bruce was rubbish or shit or weak or whatever, i just think they are jealous. is how it loks to me.

thank you, i agree completely.

first of all chakie chan sucks and would jnto be bruce lee or jet li he doesnt even do actaul martial arts it is chinese oprea and second its 1 fingerd push ups because thumb isnt a fuinger dumass and second im sorry bruce lee is better than some fat ass monks and doing a dam 1 fingerd hand stand has nothing to do with fighting thats just showing off annd who cares about the v sits anyways thats wat i have to say about anyone dicing on bruce lee because monks suck dick anyway and they ware dreses and are not in any kind of shape compared to bruce lee

both the shaolin temple and bruce lee are dead, but the majority of the "shaolin monks" would beat bruce, just because they look they're less in shape doesn't mean shit, its better than been a pile of bones woulnd't u say?
what they wear is part of their culture and belief, the scotts wore skirts, the amazons wore nothing... the monks wore robes

how dare u fucking disrespect the shaolin monks you fuckin fool. omg, id love to see you fight one. they are not dresses they are robes. im sure your mother or auntie or sister (if u have one) wears dresses, do any of them "suck dick". dumbass

how dare you disrespect bruce lee by saying he would loose to a shalion monk even know he beat the head monk within under 3 mins so you just disrecard that ......... second fuck the monks and the guy who said that shape doesnt matter lol it does dipshit do you see and fat asss champions in the ufc .......... uh no thats wat i thought so fuck you and you can suck my dick and your mom

well obviously some one is a little mad. you dont understand me i dont think. firstly since when did i say that the monks would beat bruce? secondly im most likely a bigger bruce loving martial artist than you anyway so i would never disrespect him. shape doesn't and size doesnt matter. in the words of a wise man "a punch is a punch, a kick is a kick."
thirdly just get off the website please coz you waste my time to educate fools like you when i could be commenting on something much more benficial for everyone. finally, please dont tell me to suck my mum, what makes you think i would do something like that. if you think thats normal i would go see a psychaitrist, he/she could sort u out.

Bob the builder you are a fucking dumbass. You have lost all your privaledges to speak. Jackie chan doesn't suck, shaolin monks are badass, and just becuase bruce beat one monk doesn't mean he can beat them all. Like wing chun man said if your going to be that much of a fucking retared to say stupid shit like that without knowing the facts you need to just leave.

Bob the Builder,man you got to go see a doctor or something. since when did this article turn into telling people to go suck their mom?everyone has their own opinion and you should respect that and stay on the topic, not go saying that they're an fuking retard.

first of all when i said jackie chan sucks i thought that you would be smart enough to figure out that i was amplying that he sucked ciompared to bruce and bruce lee would whoop on all monks im sorry monks dont have six packs and ripped muscles and do not have the durability that bruce has and second of all him beating the monk was probally the best monk they had because think about it dipshit monks didnt want him to teach so do you think they would send there best of worst uhhhhhh duh .....there best and may i add another note you should loose your talking privliages for being dipshits ans last shape does matter and if you pay attentio nto the world around you you do not see any fat ass fighters that are good and a punch may be a punch but it depends o nthe person duh sure it is a punch but the key thing is it a affective punch mr smart ass thinking your hot shit telling me to get off the website so actaully your a waste of my time~

yo im not even gonna give you the satisfaction of seeing me swear, plus next time u post try reading back through what you typed because i cant understand ur messed up language. you just dont get it, size or shape doesnt matter, this is the last time im gonna post a reply to you as your just pointless.

size and shape can play a big role... i mean you can be overweight and be a great martial artist, but most overweight people would suck at it if they didn't keep up the training, or had never trained in an art before. but if you train all of your life, and jsut have the body type which stores mroe fat than you need, you can still be a great martial artist.
secondly Bruce fought a modern monk. nothing like they use to be, not the triads, or the warrior monks. i mean 13 (or 113, the chinese translation is still not 100%) defeated an army of approx 4,000 and you think they're shit?!

and about their talking privleges being removed... i am the one who is allowed to make those sort of threats, since i can will be the one to forfil them.

don't stop replying to him, just because he doesn't understand, teach him what you know. and if he is a truely greatful martial artist, he will take on what you have said and conider is, broaden his perspective. but if he is an ungreatful martial artist (hence disrespectful, not only to him self and others) then he will continue as he is now.

second of all, i don't wanna see any more of this can't understand your messed up language. i say that if you can read it then you're fine, if not, ask them politly to slow down when they're typing so they can catch their mistakes before its off the page by the time they look up. if you go off your rocket at him, your only lowering yourself to his level, and everything that you say to him can be a contradictory to yourself

first of all I speak english duh ..... and second of all when you said you were like a bigger bruce lee loving and thats a qoute but would bruce lee call someone a dumbass I dont think so im not going to stoop down to your lvl like five animals said who has a good point
