Hi J,

Hope all is good. Bruce was just too amazing really for words. Probably the greatest fighter and martial artist the world has ever known. Definetly during modern times. I can only think of one Samurai warrior that is talked about as much when it comes to skill, and his name slips my mind. He was the most famous of all the Samurai and was known as the best Samurai to ever live. I can think of no other, who even comes close to the ability of Bruce. Their was something very special about him, almost supernatural with his abilities. And it may be just conspiracy talking, but i dont think Bruce died the way we have all been led to believe. But when you talk like that people think you are crazy, so i will digress.

Anyway, have you ever seen the old Motorolla commercial. Or at least i think it was Motorolla. It was one of the phone companies, maybe Nokia, and i dont know that the commercial was ever ran. But it has been trending alot on youtube. It truly is one of the more amazing things i have seen.

The first part is Bruce with his knunchucks playing ping pong. They bring in two experts against a solo bruce, and Bruce never misses, with just his knunchucks ,not only that he beats both men playing together. and this is while doing spinning moves, kicks, etc. Its shocking what coordination he had and speed.

Then he glues a piece of match striking paper onto the tip of his knunchucks and has an assistant throw matches at him. He strikes all of them perfectly in mid air. Timing it so precisely that the very tip of the nunchuck has to hit the match head at just the right time causing the match to spark and continue on its trajectory. He hits it so precisely on the outer edge that the match never knows it has been impaced and continues on its thrown path. And these are matches that are beign thrown at him!!! I dont see how its even possible to have that good of reflexes and speed and timing, but he did. He spoke of peace in a different way than really most anyone had, and tried to get people to free their minds to a new level. And to break away from the zombie mentality that modern media had kinda turned us into. And which it definetly has turned us into today.

I dont know that we will ever see someone with his abilities ever again. He had the power to change the masses, and that is a dangerous thing to those who like lots of control. Just a little food for thought.

But he is a legend
