UFC president, Dana White called Bruce Lee the "father of mixed martial arts"

[Motion]

I've read where Bruce Lee did have some contact with a Kajuenkbo practitioner named Tony Ramos. It said that they did exchange ideas with each other. So Bruce was aware of the system.

That karate street stuff only seems to work when your opponent is 'static'...just standing still, or doesn't know karate themselves...

Seems in WEC or MMA...both opponenst are moving around, and so the other guy doesn't have time to 'plant' himself...

It seems karate works best when your opponent doesnt know how to fight...and just stands there like a manican...

But when your opponent is bouncing around, constantly moving...karate seems way less effective...

Also I notice a lot of hard core karate or other styles, are designed to imobilize your opponent...like break bones and all...and I don't think that's allowed in sports fighting...so I notice many styles of martial arts, have to modify into a more 'impact' style, like hit, pound and wrestle...

But on the streets, many would probably resort back to their 'bone snapping' end fight as soon as possible style...since on the streets your objective is to end the fight or threat as soon as possible, instead of scoring points for 3 rounds...
