People who train with light weights and lots of reps but are extremely strong? Define extremely strong and give me an example.
That information is myth. It can be proven. Bruce Lee fought two amateur junior boxers in a school tournament. Bruce Lee fought a rival teenage gang member back when he was a teenage gang member himself. Bruce Lee fought some Wu-Shu guys when he was studying Wu-Shu.
A bit of history for you. There are yearly tournaments in which China sends their best Wu-Shu (aka Kung Fu) team over to Thailand to determine what the best art is. The first time this happened, years ago, the chinese got totally destroyed. Even funnier is how, with time, they have actually adoped the muay thai (aka kickboxing) way of training. They are trying to beat the thai with their own weapons (it’s called adopting the better technology, or, in this case, adopting a better version of a cultural activity - aka organized fighting). But funniest of all is how every year the new and improved chinese team are getting their asses kicked by B-grade thais (thais who would never even fight on the big stadiums in Thailand).
Now, when Bruce Lee saw the thais and what they can do, he pretty much shit his pants. Sure, he did it with a cocky swagger and self-assured smile, but cocky swagger or not, shitting your pants is shitting your pants.
Don’t want to believe it? Fine. You’re just another guy who belived the fairy-tales of losers past and losers present who ‘choose’ not to step in the ring. Wanna know why? It’s not because their art is too deadly, it’s because they’d get beat so bad it wouldn’t even be funny.
Another funny tidbit is this: people choose to bring up all the time how Bruce Lee fought this and that on the street (by his own admission he fought a few punk kids and that’s it), or how the founder of some modern breed of karate-meets-ninjutsu-on-steroids has an undefeated record of 14 wins and 0 losses on the street. Let me put it this way. The combined record of bad-ass boxers, kick-boxers and wrestlers who have worked the door or simply fought on the street, throughout the ages (think Kung-fu is old? think again, wrestling and boxing and even kickboxing are much, much older) is somewhere in the millions. Many millions. Many many many millions.
And don’t give me this “every coin has two sides, you choose to see a different part of the myth, we’re all right so let’s just get along” crap. There is only one truth. And Bruce Lee ain’t it.
Ha…idol seeking behaviour? Dont throw around petty titles when you dont have a clue what your talking about. Calling me childish and then calling your oppinion more valuable then mine? Very adult! You graduate from diapers last week?
Like I said…I meant absolutely no disrespect to you or your e-ego/virtual persona.
It would have been fine to just post the meat of what you said and I would have gladly retracted my previous statements because you backed up what you said…not hard for me to do that because as I stated before im no expert on the subject matter.
And yeah I know guys that do 50+ reps with light weights because they so choose…one of them I watched sqaut 800lbs when a powerlifter started talking shit about how his workout was bullshit…Im not saying Bruce could sqaut 800lbs but I dont buy into him being “weak” as the guy that posted before you stated before. If you know any lifters from malboro massachusetts I will gladly drop the name.
And every coin does have two sides. You provided good info so I know what your saying isnt simply oppinion…
But keep the “lets all get along bullshit” and other childish attempts to mock or undermine me to yourself.[/quote]
It’s called being cocky. Deal with it. And I don’t have to marry you in order to form an opinion based on your behaviour.
Since you’re now probably through with Bruce Lee’s nuts, maybe you’d like to hold onto mine for a while.
