I think that statement is 101% right.

It means that you always have to work harder and harder, surpassing your own limits, and reaching a new plateu.

101 percent just means that if you do your best you will be able to reach your goal.

Bruce lee invented the concept of MMA. He was incorporating almost all the aspects of fighting into his style when everyone else stuck to one style and got beat by him.

HE studied boxing, wing chun, etc......and he even incorporated grappling when almost no one else except Gene LeBelle and Larry Hartsell (Bruce Lee's student) and a few other individuals were into grappling at that time. AND YOU CAN ASK MATT HUGHES THAT AND HE'D AGREE.

And for your infromation, Bruce Lee was being metaphorical when he said "101%." You're probably just too literal minded or just too ignorant to understand that what a metaphor is. Look it up in the dictionary, JUNIOR. He was a drama major from the University of Washington where he also took up philosophy.

first of all felepe is right, hughes or any ring fighter today would have torn brucie a new one. lee was not at all an accomplished fighter. though he frequently carried not 1 but 2 guns, so in a streetfight yes he would have won but not because he was a better fighter, it would be because he shot his opponent(s). and they had been doing mma in japan/brazil/indonesia/greece/england etc for a loooong time before lee was born, in the case of greece since several THOUSAND years before he was born.
in response to the question, bruce meant you should take cortisol, a steriod which raises your metabolism, and makes you consistently high on adrenaline, (and which was along with other steroids the source of his energy) like he did to perform well.

in case you attempt to make your man or woman gadget it heavily isn't effectual. what's meant by ability of what he pronounced became to sort your sort interior a gadget based on your strengths and weaknesses. i will use my exerience as an occasion. At my MMA wellness club, we integrate in reality 4 issues, boxing, Muay Thai, wrestling, and BJJ. i'm 5'7 and weigh a extremely lean 195 and have extraordinarily rapid twitch explosive muscle tissue. in accordance with those issues my sort interior MMA is to be an aggressive striker. Being i'm short attempting to be a counter puncher ought to no longer artwork very properly so i adapt the talents i've got been taught to be aggressive. Being I come from a boxing historical past my floor battling is plenty worse than my outstanding so I positioned extra concentration on protecting grappling and not offensive. Bruce lee did no longer invent a sort, he changed what he found out to extra healthy himself. Bruce lee became additionally trashing a number of the education strategies he observed. generally cases classic MA attempt to make a one length suits all sort. it particularly isn't properly suited because of the fact there is a few suggestions that don't artwork in the journey that your small, some that don't artwork in the journey that your enormous, and anybody have distinctive strengths. It kills me to work out it while your desired to do a undeniable technique to strengthen in belt. What if that persons physique in basic terms would not enable them to effectively do it? Why do you ought to learn a fashion which you will no longer do effectively?

In a nutshell, it's a metaphor which means to put 100% effort in doing something and when you think you have given your all and have reached your limit, to go the extra mile and surpass your limitations. If you have this mindset, then you will always be one step ahead of others since most only go up to 100%. According to people who knew him, Bruce had this mindset, when they showed him a new way of doing something, he always came back a few days later and showed them not only one but a dozen more new ways of doing it better. This was the reason why they said he was way ahead of his time.

You should feel like you are giving it 101% not that you actually could do better than 100%
Then again one mans 101% may only be another mans 80%.
