but the question is, who worships him? Does anyone on this forum revere Bruce Lee? I mean, there may be a guy somewhere who reveres Bruce Lee. But is this a conversation about something that only exists in our imagination?I'm not certain that I do. Like Elvis Presley or Evel Knievel, I'm not really a fan, but I recognize that they had an outsized impact on the zeitgeist. But I am unusual (apparently) for a martial artist in that I don't watch martial arts movies (exception, Kuro Obi), and am not a fan of MMA/UFC/etc.
I just hear a lot of "Be like water," which is true enough, although plenty of people said it (in variations) before Bruce Lee.
"In his duties, especially in religion, a man's spirit should be like water flowing down the shallow channel of a brook; which, though it meets with stones and sticks and innumerable obstructions, in its course, continues to ripple and wind, and insinuate itself perseveringly, through every opening, till it has left them all behind; when, deep and broad, at length, it runs into the sea."

Respect for Bruce Lee, I get. Reverence and worship? Not so much.
Trust me go look at YouTube comments and you’ll get people saying he can knock out heavyweight ufc fighters and be genuinely serious about itbut the question is, who worships him?

Hey, I like Bruce LeRoy, but I like the Shogun of Harlem betterSome folks might not like Bruce LeRoy, either.
DC is the birth pace of Jow Ga In the US. They had a strong community presence. The school was known for having good fighters and many of the students HD that reputation. Their mindset is to spread Jow Ga by sharing Jow Ga.I know of one school in my area, but I understand it's pretty well-known in the DC area.
Too bad it’s not around here. I would love to check it out.DC is the birth pace of Jow Ga In the US. They had a strong community presence. The school was known for having good fighters and many of the students HD that reputation. Their mindset is to spread Jow Ga by sharing Jow Ga.
Unfortunately most people from DC tend to stay in DC or close by in Virgina and Maryland. The students may move but most teacher seem to stay close to DC.

That whole movie was a trip.Sho-Nuff sure was a trip.
Yeah, I had to look it up, too."For every one who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."
.....I'm not a church-goer, so I had to look this up. IMO It's appropriate in this context.
Trivia fer ya: those kinds of statements are called antimetabole ( AN-ti-mə-TAB-ə-lee.) "The Sphinx" in the movie Mystery Men used it a lot."For every one who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."
Like I tell my high school students when they try to rush out the door just as the bell rings... You are not Pavlov's dogs. You leave when dismissed, not before ...and not because you hear a bell! When a few try to test me, I hold them till after all the other's have left.Yeah, I had to look it up, too.
