The List Of Shame: Websites That Don’t Allow Special Characters In Their Passwords

I’ve always been a Martial Arts enthusiast, and I used to be obsessed with
Bruce Lee. I thought he was God. I’ve not thought much about him in the last 10
years or so, however, even as I have become a full-fledged Mixed Martial
Arts fan.

But I realized yesterday when reading some Bruce Lee quotes that it’s an
absolute travesty that he was taken from us before he could see MMA become
what it is today.

Many accept that he was special in some way, but few realize just
how special. I think he was the pioneer of Mixed Martial Arts itself.
His own art,
Jeet Kune Do, was less of a style of its own and more of a philosophy — philosophy of
being eclectic with techniques from any combat system that works.

What’s amazing about this is that it’s the ONLY approach that works in
modern MMA.
Mixed Martial Arts took over a decade to figure out what he had already
learned in the 1960’s. He respected the classic arts but realized their limitations early on.

I really wish he were here today to enjoy the MMA explosion. He would have
embraced it like no other. And I’m quite sure he’d still be fighting despite
how old he would be today. Contrary to what many fanboys think, however, he
would in fact have many losses both by submission and by knockout. But he
would also have the most untouchable record in the world.
He would insist on fighting in the heavyweight division at times, he
would fight on very short notice, and he’d probably try to convince an
organization to let him fight multiple people at the same time.
He always pushed the limits.

I just miss him. I wish he were here to see what’s happening. He deserved
it. Half the fighters over 30 are probably in MMA in some part
because of Bruce Lee. We should pay our respects to the first
evangelist of truly mixed Martial Arts. R.I.P.:
