Kungfu, hopkido, akido, Tai chi, and the other similar styles that do not have full contact tournaments , are not “real” and do not translate to real life and are not effective no matter how skilled or whatever style your attacker is using..

No my argument is that boxing/mma/jujitsu/and I’m sure there are a couple other styles are “real” and translate to real life situations, and will work no matter what “style” if any your attacker is using..

Karate/teakwando and others are a mix of some effective punches and kicks, but most pressure point and throw stuff being nonsense..
If all your martial art really got right is 5kicks and 4 punches, and everything else is show... its kinda fake.

It looks like Quentin Tarantino has made a new enemy, Bruce Lee's daughter. I can understand from her point of view as it's her dad and this is akin to spitting on his grave, but every coin has two sides so I can also see how it's a comedy driven movie at the same time.
Tarantino seemed to say that he saw Bruce acting puffed up irl and stuck with that story. So either way. Different people, different memories makes no difference because Bruce Lee was the Boss regardless of what people said against him.
Bruce Lee’s daughter, Shannon Lee, is responding to director Quentin Tarantino’s latest comments regarding her father’s portrayal in the film “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.” “He could shut up about it,” she told Variety. “That would be really nice. Or he could apologize or he could say, ‘I don’t really know what Bruce Lee was like. I just wrote it for my movie. But that shouldn’t be taken as how he really was.'” Tarantino recently defended his depiction of the Asian American martial arts legend (portrayed by Mike Moh) as an arrogant blowhard. “Bruce Lee was kind of an arrogant guy,” Tarantino said at a recent press junket in Moscow. “The way he was talking, I didn’t just make a lot of that up.

I would question how varifiable any of that was...
Could anyone prove they were a well known street fighter in the 1970s Atlanta???
I kinda doubt it..

Read your replies JJ and I find them quite naive to say the least.
I modeled my fighting style after Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune do early
on. And I never lost a fight on the street not even close. I don't
like to brag or even talk about myself but the speed, balance
accuracy and power and the awareness I gained. I could
touch an opponent on the shoulder just enough to interrupt
his balance and already be where he would stumble to just
waiting on him to get there. And what came once they got
there? Well I'll just say it was way to easy You talk like your
a fighter but the things you're saying tell me you don't know
much.
I'm just say'n

I been studying wing chun kung fu since I was 17. I have no clue what you mean by touching a shoulder just enough to interrupt his balance means. You sound like your a super master kung fu martial artist. Do you know the dim mak too? You know the one strike death attack?
