well bruce lee worked with many respected martial artists at the time all of whom were considered good fighters in their day, he broke down the walls and stirred up interest in martial arts

he would exchange technique with various other martial artists

i get the impression and it may be wrong that because nephilim does a bit of thai boxing that he thinks he's got the reputation or fighting toughness of a thai nak muay

if we're gonna judge someone on a little bit of footage then what about his 1 inch punch and the speed of his techniques..all well before his time

...a thai fighter from thailand back in the day may have beat him but that doesn't mean bruce lee couldnt fight and who's to say bruce lee wouldnt have used ground game which can make top thai's come unstuck in mma im todays fighting

the photo on nephilims profile hardly looks like picture perfect technique, it may have been the last kick of a sequence and that might explain it plus its a c class amateur fighter but point being talking about technique from a small bit of footage is silly

bruce lee promoted thought rather than technique or a single style that was the belief or jkd, a martial art unrestricted by style taking the nearest point in muay thai is the equivalent of taking the lead leg and an effective technique still used today. not saying that bruce lee is the reason nak muay will take the lead leg low kick but saying that his teachings are applicable in modern fighting arts..similar to a boxer making use of the jab it was about evasiveness and being out of range of your opponent and could be adapted to various styles...nobody said jkd was the best style or anything of the sort, the very reason is was formed was to highlight weak points in many styles...ground game being a weakness of muay thai, legs being a weakness of a boxer etc

he was ahead of his time and paved the way for modern martial arts
