i was pondering on his take on spirit>technique>strength and what he meant by spirit. it makes perfect sense. to have the spirit of a fighter means to be have supreme confidence and belief in yourself and fear nothing.. and "ultimately expressing yourself, that my friend is very hard to do" -Bruce Lee

I have special memories about Bruce. He was very intelligent and very creative, two things which I enjoy. He thought in principle. He had a high abstract intelligence. That's a thing I admire most in people. He also enjoyed physical development and fitness, two things which I like. I won art contests as a kid, and he was also a fabulous artist and enjoyed philosophy, two things on which we were both extremely hooked.

Dr. Muang Gyi opened the first Martial Arts school in the USA in 1963 that involved fighting in the ring. It was simply called a Bando School. Bando is the Burmese fighting art. The first MuayThai school to be opened in the USA was in 1970 by Tong Trithara who now lives in Springfield, Missouri.

The fighters who have learned to punch more effectively have surpassed the mixed martial arts fighters who only have grappling skills. When the day comes that the top fighters can kick as well as punch, together with excellent grappling skills, that will be the birth of a great sport.

people commenting from the comfort of their couches... do not understand the ancient and time-tested life/art philosophy that Machida follows. The loss to Jones is not an end-game - one needs lose in order to win - one's journey cannot consist of wins only. Its the path of continuous improvement and ultimate focus on one's "dreams" that matters. Watch it again, write it down, follow it - you will see your life change.

I had studied the philosophies of objectivism and J. Krisnamurti before I know about Bruce Lee. His ideas complemented and encouraged a similar ideology. He inspired me to embrace this way of thinking and integrated into my physical training. I admired his abstract thinking. These are people who think in principal. We were both artists in the sense of being able to draw and sketch. Although he was Chinese, I saw myself in him.

Bruce Lee was also starting to add more in and out type engaging drills. The old Wing Chung practitioners would penetrate their opponent’s defensive perimeter, engage with a combination but neglect to pull out or disengage at the end. Bruce was correcting this tactical oversight.

I believe he will be a champion again,just not necessarily at LHW.He would be a force at MW.I know he and Silva are friends and won't fight each other,but Silva is closing in on retirement soon,which will open the opportunity for him.
