Thanks for the nuthuggery comment - by the way since you’re quick to comment - this was posted in GAL and got moved over here.
I had no intent to derail this forum. If you can tell by the OP it was meant in humor and set for GAL.
I don’t think I’ve ever posted in this section - EVER.

Fair enough.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.
What bugs me is that a good amount of people will still regard Seagal as a badass, skullcrushing, armwrenchin machine.
And that, once more in a internet training forum, Bruce Lee’s name is kinda tainted.
If one looks at the video, just sheer amount of choreography and willingness of Seagal’s students/victims (practically the same thing) is staggering.
Bruce, on the other hand, sparred full contact(did Seagal ever do that?), created a badass style that’s taught around the world today and was a forerunner for MMA.
While not actively participating in regulated combat, he inspired legions of a all kinds of martial artists and athletes.
And of course, he was a cool actor and personality, the first one to be adored by east and west simultaneously.
Quite some achievements, I say.
Seagal has none of that.
Personally, I’d pick Miyamoto Musashi for the MA GOAT.
I don’t know another book that transcended time and culture so well, describing essential principles of combat in a no-nonsense style, venturing effortlessly even beyond combat eventually.
For this work, which is his life’s crowning achievement, he gets that title from me.
We can also assume that he was rather dope with these japanese sabres - and the wooden ones, too, of course!

NP -(wish all the forums could work things out as easily)
But you’re dead on with your post which was what I was hoping to spark in GAL.
