    He would be doing Hei Gung, and i full agree with Chief Fox post!

    That being said they should have a Bruce Lee MMA Comp they have to wear the black hot pants and gloves out of enter the dragon , which is similar to MMA gloves!!

    If Bruce lee was still alive..........,


    Well,

    Jackie chan, jet li & leung ting might not be as famous(ya, $ too) as they are today.

    Alot of grandmasters, forms & new MA sects wouldn't be seen.

    JKD will be more perfect with more contents such as......maybe with the muay thai's kicks & ground grapplings added.

    May be his wife will divorce him over his love affairs with other woman(women) & ask for a huge sum of money.

    Bruce will be very sad to attend to his own son's funeral.

    but would brandon lee even have died if bruce were alive? would all the intricate matters have unfolded exactly the same to cause brandons death??

    in a perfect world...

    he would have moved into directing and producing, like most creative types do, and pushed the envelope on MA films; talents like Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Yun Biao, Jet Li would still have done what they did, but who can say how they would have been influenced by a still alive, ever-evolving guy like Bruce - perhaps they would have collaborated...

    he would have kept developing JKD: keeping to what works, "absorbing what was useful" - he may have greatly acelerated the MMA "revolution" - I'm sure he'd have spent time with the Gracie's when they showed up...

    he would have continued his exploration of philosophy, probably practiced some sort of meditation like Ch'an and wold have probably written about it as well

    he would have been a tireless advocate for Asians in mainstream cinema

    he would have been involved in charity work

    he would have smacked Ralph Machio up and down the street like the poodle he is...

    then again, he may have burned out, chucked it all and would now be living on some desolate tropical island, sucking mangos on the beach...

    Greetings,

    You guys have it all wrong. It is hard to believe that, with all the training that you have under your belts, that you all still dare to dream.



    Bruce Lee was a REALIST, gentlemen. He called it the WAY he saw it. He TOOK no prisoners. He lived FULLY.



    Kepping this in mind,



    If Bruce Lee was still alive...........



    he would be screaming, "Get me the FUCCK out of this GODDAM casket!!!!"

    If Bruce Lee had still lived he would have had his rematch with Wong Jack Man in about 1974. Of course, just the fact that they agreed to have a rematch proves that Bruce had a great deal of respect for Grandmaster Wong's skills (by the way, "Dragon, the Bruce Lee story" is a pile of cr*p). Whatever people want to think about how this would've gone, consider this: both men were constantly developing their skills. Wong went hardcore into the internal arts and Bruce was doing more grappeling and other experimenting (still mostly "external" stuff).

    It surely wouldn't have been a match to the death since both men knew each other pretty well by that point. But it would have been interesting to see. Interesting note: in two films of Lee I've seen him do the same double jump kick, rear twisted kick, tornadoe kick combination that's in Bak Siu Lum form #5 (martial skill). Bak Siu Lum was, of course, Wong Jack Man's style and Bruce didn't start showing off by doing those kicks at conventions until after his first match with Sifu Wong. Just an interesting little point of fact.

    if he was alive....he may of learnt the error of his ways, and dropped his arrogant and sometimes misguided views on martial arts and of matured enough to of returned to internal martial arts........possibly lol!

    If bruce lee were still alive, he would have undergone a sex change operation, moved to idaho, and would now have a vested intrest in one of the largest ostrich farms in the united states. Bruce, or 'Mimi', as he would now prefer to be called, would ride a scooter around the town square every sunday to peddle the farm wares. The scooter would have a large cowbell attached which attracts customers. A mob of excited children would routinely gather around and he would give them ice cream.

    If Bruce Lee were still alive, he'd be clawing at the inside of his coffin trying to get out...

    he would have aged considerably by the time the first ufc came around, but I'm sure he would endorse it! Maybe he would have turned into a born again and then converted to karate.
    Bless you

    Hey, let's clone Bruce Lee, Count Dante, Mushashi, Chin Siu Hung, Bak Mei and some other dead masters, expose them to all the martial styles available today, and see what they do. A great mad martial scientist experiment.

    Geez no brainer....

    if Bruce Lee were alive he'd be judging or producing a Reality Show or he'd be a pitch man for infomercials.

    Talking

    Maybe he'd have an energy drink like Steven Seagal.

    Chan Tai San would have killed him in 1989.


    The end.
    SevenStar: It's hilarious seeing people's reactions when they see a big, black dude with a sword walking toward them.

    Masterkiller: Especially when they're at the ATM.

    WTF? How did we go from the White Haired Devil strangling and beating guys to death in a teahouse, to Mr Miyagi and Jhoon Rhee?
