Who would have won a no holds barred fight between Bruce Lee and David Carridine?

Question

David was soo good in the Kung Fu series!!!

Answer 1

Bruce Lee: Martial Arts expert.
David Carridine: Actor.

Gee, tough call. Let me think. I got it! Bruce Lee!

Answer 2

First of all, you would never have gotten David to agree to fight Bruce. Carridine was not that stupid. I was in the Martial Arts (Full Contact Karate) for a few years when I was younger. I use to spar and compete against some very good Martial Artists. One day my best friend and I stopped at a Kung Fu bookstore in Houston Texas and bought several books. A couple of them were written by Bruce Lee. My friend and I began training on our own using Lee's teachings. The change was remarkable. Within two months we became the best fighters in our area. We were even beating black belts. I was a green belt and he was a blue belt at the time. Needless to say, our instructors were less then pleased. There is a lot of politics in the Martial Arts. Everyone wants to believe that their style is the best. Bruce Lee was no fake. He could beat anyone alive in his day or this day. I like the Kung Fu series for it's philosophy, but did you know that the ideal for the Kung Fu series was Bruce Lee's? He was the original creator of the show and was suppose to play the main role of Kwai Chang Caine but the shows Producers were afaid that American TV viewiers in those days would not accept an Asian American in a lead role. So they chose Carridine instead. Bruce left to make Martial Arts movies in China and became famous. I'd say he was way ahead of his time in more ways than one.

Answer 3

Bruce lee was a Fighting Machine. David Carridine was a Dancer
Lee was a pioneer in the synthesis of 27 Different Fighting arts.
Lee Studied Philosophy and Wrote Several books Including Jeet Kune Do. Lee had to have Special Equipment Designed for him because his skills were Beyond The Norm Of the Best Equipment of His Day. Lee Left such an Impact On The world with his Visual Genius That It Leaves People Like you still ask People Like me about Him TODAY. Jerry Poteet Is Probably The Best Jeet Kune Do trainer On The Planet . He Trained Jason Scott Lee For The Movie DRAGON. I think this is enough for Now.

Answer 4

Carradine was a calm guy in the series but he did not do so energetic fighting as Bruce was. He was not a martia arts specialist, though he had learned the asian eastern philosophy. I guess Bruce was more faster.

Yes ! I saw a very good interview with a Bruce Widow & daughter - Mrs. Linda Lee Cardwell and Shannon Lee. I miss Brandon so much, God may blesses his soul !

Hollywood had been a racist freak in the 60´s. The white guys were mostly the bosses, while the black, latinas or asians were a house boy or a bodyguard type. This idea was originally based on the "racist puritanism unhuman" stereotype which had influenced america for almost 300 years.

But the 60´s are over now ! Today Jet Lee and Jacky Chan (Asian action stars) are the leading actors in many Hollwood films. Even the black talented stars like Morgan Freeman, Denzel Washington or Samuel L. Jackson !

But during the 60´s America was a very conservative devilish hypocrite country and Bruce Lee had experienced a tough periode. Lee must work very hard and he finally became a superstar stardorm in "ENTER THE DRAGON 1972).

Answer 5

Interesting note...inthe original Kung fu series from the 70's David Carridine din't hve any formal martial arts training at the time...he learned all the moves prior to the filming of each scene. It was AFTER beginning work on the series that he began his training, which was AFTER Bruce Lee's death.

That being said...I have to go with Bruce Lee...More formal training, more practical experience...and Bruce Lee trained specifically for increased speed, something that many martial artists don't do as a specialization. He was able to use is strength in concert with that speed for impressive results.

Answer 6

No question, Bruce Lee ... but I like David Carridine ... and wouldn't want to see him hurt. So let's call off the fight even in your mind.
