Yeah you do have reason bro, Im agreed totally with you.

He's older but he's not old, Bill super foot Wallace is old now

Jim Kelly said Bruce was untouchable. Best he ever seen. Jim saw all the greats Spat Lee as well as he did himself.

Those who talk crap about anything non MMA are just some weenies who have never had any combat training or anything combative in their whole life so I wouldn't pay them any mind. The ones who have had training and talk crap are those who don't have an open mind and are too dumb to realize the techniques they're learning come from somewhere so yeah, they're not worth it either.

First and foremost, have some self respect. F**k him and his dead @$$! He learned from a kung fu teacher and yes, Bruce Lee didn't believe in styles but JKD was basically an American Kung Fu style uniting every other nation's martial art but still a kung Fu style and Kung Fu is really good. I personally have been into San Soo since 2002 and I always check out other stuff regardless of where it comes from. Now I'll tell you a story about my boxing trainer. He didn't seem to like martial arts or anything non boxing and we were warming up and I would move around and then jog backwards to warm up and work out my ankles because it works different muscles than going forward and he said something that I was moonwalking and I laughed it off but he later mentioned it when he was teaching the class something and it pissed me off because I had respect for him and I was going to challenge him in front of everyone but I wasn't going to box since he was a better boxer and former professional who made some descent money but I calmed myself down and just left it alone but I still think about it because time and time he does exercises that are not organized well and I mentioned it and he said something stupid like I do this because it's going to be chaos and a punch is going to hurt more and I mentioned well so, would you rather get hit the face with a 50lb weight or someone's punch because according to his logic, the heavy truck tires we were throwing around recklessly, wasn't going to be nothing compared to a punch and I say bullshit because those tires are meant to go four wheeling on mountains and if it went over a person's head, it would squish the head like a melon so a flying truck tire that's heavy and still has the tracks on them and flying threw the air with gravity on its side isn't going to be less than a person's punch because if the chaos is too much distraction and someone just carelessly throws one in the air and a person gets hit in the head, it could kill that person by snapping their neck or breaking some bones or anything the mind could come up with.

Sorry you had your deal with that. It’s nice to see him acknowledge Bruce’s teachings. It was Bruce that taught him and not the other way around after all. Bruce was better.

None of us were there so we can't confirm nor deny your claim, he passed away 20+ years ago, it is rare that a person finds it necessary to admonish those who have left us. Most of us tend to try to remember the good in a person. I can see from Joe's instructional videos, that he gave his heart and sole to do the best he could to make us all really get every detail of what he is/was teaching, with frequent accolades to Bruce Lee. Joe thought very little of Bruce when they first met, Joe was a big star, but even he was eventually able to look past his first impressions and learn to hold Bruce in very high regard. Kung fu, then and today is often looked at as an embarrassment to combative martial arts, in many martial arts circles. Joe's bias was not unique, and not worthy of admonishment 20 years following his death. Bruce is the biggest figure in martial arts history, but I've never met anyone that actually considered Bruce better than Joe, or Joe better than Bruce, their legacies speak for themselves.

Yet he was never certified to teach JKD by any instructor certified under Bruce Lee. Due diligence is a requirement

You’re Welcome, I attended 2 of his seminars at Radford University in Radford Virginia back in 1992-93.

i rated him better than chuck norris,

"The colored boxer, not that white kickboxing asshole."

Maybe Graden is, but Lewis is the head of his own style, and as such can be a 10th dan or anything he wants, He's earned it.

The real deal. A monster in his prime. He was still fast and powerful when I sparred around with him in his 50’s.

WTH are you on about? He was one of the legends of kickboxing/martial arts. There is a lot of stuff you can say about Joe Lewis. “He can’t fight,” ain’t one of them.

I knew Joe Lewis. Considered the greatest american kickboxer ever. Blackbelt test for his students was 3 rounds full contact with him. He absolutely knew what he was talking about and walked the walk. Martial artists like him are rare.

You dont know what are you talking about, Grand Champion Joe Lewis was the best pound by pound Point, Full Contact and Kickboixer of all the times, if you dont know nothing about him, better do some investigation and later speak out.

@@weiwilsonmiranda596 Actually I do know what I am talking about. Karate is a scam, but I can't wait for Karate in the Tokyo Olympics!

@@beck4218 Karate is a scam? come on bro, dont say that, did you practice it one time in your life?
