Isn't that what I just said?
Oh well, using a Bas Rutten quote to say it makes it infinitely cooler.

Chuck Norris fact #1.
Chuck Norris facts exist because nobody would DARE poke fun at Bas Rutten.

I wonder how that would turn out if it wasn't choreographed.
Chuck has proved himself to be a real nice guy, so much so that I wonder if he was just being that nice guy when he claimed Lee would kick his ass in a real fight.
Same as Anderson Sylva when he agreed with Segal teaching him his front-kick.

you never really know but I do know sijo lee had some good ground fighting skills & he probably would have beaten him up on the ground.
But that's just my opinion.
And also chuck had lee as his coach for a while & all the karate fighters who were trained by lee in the old tournaments were undefeated except against each other.

I heard they trained together but I've always been dubious on the whole master and student piece. I thought they just trained together.

I'd believe that much. Training with someone different can have a profound effect on people, a new set of eyes can see things that others just accept as fact.
That's how my rule-bending works.

My training changes about as often as I train with new people because I'm forced to do things differently because they are better & worse at other things than I'm used to.
Like we got a few pro wrestlers at my gym who my wrestling coach trains and they are amazing at scrambling & doing things form crazy positions because they spend so much time in awkward positions & mixed legit grappling skills they have a style I;ve never seen before and you have to be really clean & technical when facing them because anytime your in an awkward position they are where they are most comfortable and it's a bitch but you can't use the tactics you use against them against a bjj guy or a regular wrestler.

I've never really had that much experience wrestling with different kinds of grapplers, when I did my school visits it was a case of applying shodan level karate against whatever style I was visiting.
I'd really like to try my grappling against a wrestler but I already know it's not that flash by my own school's standards.

I find it hard to find good skill based wrestlers for some reason.
I think it's because there's not enough skilled coaches at a school level wrestling until you get to college/university and once you've wrestled for 5 years before that it's hard to forget your mistakes & relearn again.

I mean my grappling skills aren't that flash by my own school's standards. Finding collegate wrestling in Australia is damn near impossible.

yeah I've never heard of Australian wrestling except from the old catch days...
same here it's pretty rare but it's around you just have too look for it & I was lucky my dad wrestled in school and wrestled a bit with the dynamite kid (he's got catch training) when he was older and I had a few gym teachers that wrestled.
do you guys do wrestling in gym class there by any chance???
because that's basically where I started and my dad helped a lot and next thing you know I was doing inter school stuff.

No.
Gym classes are called Personal Development, Health & Physical Education (PDHPE) and usually consist of track and field and other non-contact activities, so cricket, baseball, softball, Austag football, soccer, swimming, tennis and non-contact Taekwando. Even basketball has been dropped because it's too rough.
