if bruce lee didnt teach non asian the chinese martial art?

Question

what happen if he didnt? well, the non asian, i prefer the western people will lose to asian people easily in an mma bout.yes, without the jeet kun do,kung fu, karate, taekwondo, judo, and muay thai(Thailand is asian) and the brazilian jujitsu(original place for jiujitsu is japan)the western ppl will never beat asian ppl in mma fight.the only martial art that originally from west is wrestling and boxing.and the two is not enough to beat the martial arts from asia.so what happen if the asian didnt want to teach the western ppl the asian martial art??

Answer 1

Most people are not disciplined enough to be half as good as Bruce Lee Except for Asian populations they are way more disciplined than western societies

Answer 2

Then we would have much less idiots out there who think bruce Lee is a god and answer to everything.

You obiviously have no knowledge of martial arts history. Helio Gracie first learned jiu jitsu before bruce Lee got here. There was a couple Thai who lived in western that taught Muay Thai at around same time when bruce Lee got to USA. Chuck Norris was already a martial artist before bruce Lee get here. There's many many more examples such as bill "Superfoot" Wallace, Cikatic branko, and others.

Answer 3

I suggest you check your facts. Boxing orignially was not the sportative form it is today. and the term "wrestling" was a term that was a catchall for unarmed martial arts (including striking/grappling and weapons disarms) during the middle ages which were primarily included as secondary to weapons training.

You can see depictions of them in various fight books from that period like the codex wallerstien (which includes a very cool but I wouldn't reccomend you try it, game called "robbing a peasant" where a noble cuts the flesh on a peasant's throat to make them think they were cut in a fatal way but it was just the skin), or leichtenhaur's sytem or any other.

Have you also forgot about pancrea?

I suggest you do your research first next time before assuming that. It would be the same as comparing asian sword kata to someone who actually knows how to fight with one.

bruce lee was also not the only or first chinese martial artist to teach non-asians this is a common fallacy attributed to him. Probably spouted by linda lee to cash in on his image.

Answer 4

There were Chinese artists who taught non-chinese. The specific question has to do with the fact that Ip Man was influenced by the Boxer Rebellion and did not believe in teaching kung fu to Westerners. The Chinese martial arts community in San Francisco had a similar idea, although there were people who taught kung fu to westerners prior to Lee. Most Americans only knew of kung fu at all because of Bruce Lee's Kato character, and the idea of a commercial martial arts school was perhaps less common than today. Lee deserves credit because his movies started the martial arts craze in the West. Many actors and instructors (of all styles) owe their living to what Mr. Lee started. One view of jeet kune do origins says that Bruce Lee created his own art because he promised his kung fu brothers in Hong Kong not to teach wing chun to Americans. IDK what the truth is.

Answer 5

There were actually many Chinese teaching non-Chinese different forms of Chinese boxing. Bruce Lee just happens to be very popular, so there is misconception that he was the first to do this. It did violate many codes of ethics and by-laws set up by most boxing associations, but since we are in the United States and not eastern Asia, westerners eventually learned, and Chinese learned that they could turn a profit by teaching.

Answer 6

Then there wouldn't be as many people studying the Martial Arts as there is today, and the UFC would prob'ly never been created or be as popular as it is now.

Furthermore the Chinese definitely didn't like the fact that Bruce was teaching people who were not of Asian descent, which led to the fight that he had against one of their best fighters; which he decided to fight in the traditional Wing Chun form of fighting discipline, barely beating his opponent.

Answer 7

Don't forget, there's Western martial arts such as Sambo.

Answer 8

he may of still been alive today
