    He was an actor, not a fighter. But yes, he did inspire many people.

    I agree he wasn't a professional/amateur fighter, he didn't compete in events, but he could fight. I've read around here were ppl said he couldn't.

    Also, your label "actor" yes he was that, as well as many other things, you said it he inspired ppl as well, so he wasn't just an actor. All of us are more than just the sum of our parts, Bruce played many roles/parts in his life, like we all do, to put him in a box and say he was just this or that (especially when you never met him, lol..) is a error in judgement IMO.

    In the clip you see him doing Chi Sau...You will never ever see him actually sparring.

    In a demo any one can win if you go by certain rules...But in actual match..Ones gung fu could be proven by how well they fight!
    The Flow is relentless like a raging ocean with crashing waves devasting anything in its path.

    In the one I posted there is no footage of him sparring, there is in other clips out there.

    All I can say as someone that never met him, like everyone else around here, when I see him move, read about or watch other's talk about his ability, I make my own judgement about it, HE COULD FIGHT AND KICK ALL THE GUYS AROUND HERE ASSES..lol...

    Since he's dead you and I will never really know how good he was, I'm not saying he was the world's best, but he could definetly fight, lol, to deny that is a fools choice

    Exactly Kev. Sifu Cheung also talks about the real street fights Bruce had. Plus, he fought against a boxer once.

    For being "just an actor" he sure got and still gets a lot of respect from seasoned fighters.
    Bas Rutten, Mike Tyson, The Gracies, Anderson Silva, Pac Man, the list goes on and on and on.

    i just think he is a bit over rated..had he still been living people wouldnt refer to him as they do Elvis, or Tupac Shakur...People would have you believe this and that...Was Bruce Lee a fighter...I dont know...Alls i can say is the only evidence to him being a real fighter is all third hand information....at the end of the day you dont see him doing anything credible outside of some chi sau and inch punch demos.

    But i will say he was in excellent condition!


    An i love his kung fu in the movies!!!

    But hey what about Jet Li is he a fighter?
