The Kensei Karate work out journal

[Shadow]

I consider myself well above average in strenght, but I got us some more cardio. That would be included but it's seems when I finally heal up, I get a another sparring injury. My friend that I see almost weekly, asked you still limping. I said, no, this is something new. After the obvious next question. I answer, I don't know, I just walked away when it was done and five minutes later, I started limping. Though, it's close to being healing, the limp is still there after a week. I can do some light gym workouts, but running, jump-romping (one of my three favorites) are out. An additional trip to the gym for number three swimming is unlikely. Getting 5 weekly trips in is a pain.

Still haven't tried the drop set, got to remember to bring the print out so I know what to do, but it's still in my mental to do list.

Kensei you have to be the most ignorant idiot in this post. You bring up shit about Bruce Lee being a movie star rather than a fighter man you are an antibruce lee asshole for thinking that. You disgrace the name of the gracies if you said this infront of Helio gracie he would disown your ass for disrespecting and lying about Bruce Lee who deserved to be called a legend because he like Helio is an actual martial artist you low life prick.

Tell me about your knowledge on Bruce Lee you know what let me tell you this. He fought in the streets as it was reported by the police he broke a fellow gang members arm, He fought in the roof tops of Hong Kong against Choy Lay Fut fighter Chung and beat him, He defeated Gary Elms in a boxing match who was a 3 time champion, and of course this one you missed because you are an ignorant douchbag He fought against Wong Jak Man for his school to be kept up in the U.S.


Yes Kensei you are an ignorant loser who is..
out to make everyone believe Bruce Lee isn't a real fighter and Helio can beat him well let me tell you about Bruce Lee before you make stupid suggestions. Bruce Lee has demonstrated from time to time his nigh uncatcheable speed look around youtube they have lots of videos of his speed, it's so damn fast no one can catch it not even the camera could you ignorant idiot, and while demonstrating just the one inch punch he actually injured the guy he was demonstrating on as in he hurt him so much the guy actually still felt the pain f just the one inch punch like an injury you get in a vicious beatdown, his kicks have been compare to a carcrash as well. So before you go bitching to everyone Bruce Lee is a movie star not a martial artist go back to school and reeducate yourself you nuthugging troll.

Bruce Lee's nigh uncatcheable speed plus punches and kicks that injure and leave painful marks and if used fully could send someone to the hospital explain to me how Helio is going to catch up to his speed and take powerful hits from Bruce Lee who isn't just an ordinary striker as he trained everyday drinking and eating healthy stuff while conditioning his hands like crazy.

Kensei: I see you've done it again!

g4m4l31r: I know Kensei can come on a little strong sometimes, but he a pretty reasonable guy. Listen to his point on the matter, they do make sense. They can be backed up with a little research. I bought into the legend thing as well. I think Bruce is the boom, still legendary, but still much of what he said makes sense...that is if it hasn't changed from we last had the same discussion. Come at it cooly and logically and you will see, some of the legend is not true, Lee is still a martial arts revolutionary because of his beliefs and training, but as a fighter Kensei raises some question to it .

Thanks Shadow, but I am not phased by some 16 year old basement dweller that knows about as much about martial arts as he does dating real girls...the kind you dont blow up!

Fact is "Weird ass name child" that I know a tad more about Bruce Lee than you would have others think. First off I aint no 16-20 year old punk born so far after lee Died that the only way you can see him is you tube or his movies...you know the ones that he ACTED IN. Shake your head boy! If you believe that Lee was some bad ass that just kind of fell into his acting career after a life on the street as a thug...well you are about as dumb as your post suggests.

Lest see, how many actors...real actors do you know of that started out on the streets of Hong kong as a street fighting thug.. Did you know that lee sas an actor as a child and attended a school that taught chinese opera...the same one his ACTOR father and mother went to. Did you know that he was born in the US while his ACTOR mother and father were both ACTING in the states? Did you know that most of his real Martial arts training consisited of a few years training with Yip Man, and his son and most senior students all said he bairly knew the first form of Wing Chun and most of his martial skills were from the Opera and fancy "Opera moves"?

Now that being said, the guy was fast and very athletic, he was one of the best self promoters and said he learned from Mohammed Ali how to market yourself. Now, the guy is the real deal when it comes to his speed and he did learn alot from other arts to add to his movies and personal style. I am not saying he was not good....what I am saying is alot of the myth is just that.

Could he beat Helio...of whom I never trained with and whom probably would not be at the least upset if I suggest that he would "in his prime" have out grappled Lee 10 times out of 10....and if you think different you are just as big a moron as your attack post suggests...he probably would have offered me a cup of tea and asked If I wanted to roll with him. YOU PUTZ!

I studied JKD for a few months when I lived out in Seatle and I can tell you that it is nothing new. The only thing that made Lee look better was his speed and the movie making magic that is Hollywood and Hong Kong.

One of my friend rolled with Helio after cleaning the club in LA and said that even at an advanced age he was so good that he did not stand a chance to try to get a sub in, the old man was so smooth that his possition change and his subs were like trying to fight with a empty uniform.

I am not offended in the least by the post, it shows me two things....one that ignorant children can still get their hands on mommy and daddys computer unattended and that the self marketing myth machine does fool people very well.
