? For a hundred grand, would anyone here fight Bruce Lee... The conditions are you have to be able to last 12 rounds.

Just watched the vid, and I wonder how that instructor would react to a couple solid hits right in the grill.

I agree with everyone here. Personally when I watch this guy, I see him as very quick, but he lacks power in his punches. When I watched the video of Bruce Lee practicing in his backyard, his punches were loaded with power.

here is this guy's web site
http://www.tommycarruthers.com/

says here that
"Tommy Carruthers has over 30 years experience in the martial arts which includes training in military self-defence techniques (taught to him by his father), Judo, Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling, Karate, boxing, Ving Tsun (four years with Nino Bernardo's clan), Non-Classical Gung Fu and finally Jeet Kune Do. Whilst training in western boxing, Tommy made something of a name for himself and became the subject of several tempting offers to turn professional. "But still to Tommy, even though he seemed to excel in boxing, it was not JKD." (taken from Fighters Magazine, July 1997)."

Went to a stupid basketball game many years ago, Kareem(sp) Jabber was there only reason I went was to ask him what it was like to train with Bruce. He said if you held the body bag and Bruce kicked it full force you had a headache for a few days after. He said Bruce would swing a 200lb bag and stop it with one kick, that's the same as knocking a 400 lb man on his a$$. This from a guy that only weighed 135 lbs. His one inch punch was legendary.

Bruce was and still is The Man.
