The following question was presented:
Now that we've covered favorite space ships it seems like we're on a roll to ask those all important questions that men have. So, sticking with things that are important to men, we turn to martial arts and ask who is your favorite martial arts star? The only problem with this is that I kind of think Bruce Lee would win it hands down as he truly was the master, so I've decided to exclude him from the list making the question - other than Bruce Lee, who is your favorite martial arts star?
(Of course you may disagree with this assessment and not think that Bruce is the one and only. If so, please feel free to send an email to someone who gives a shit).

Analysis:
Well, well, well! A tie between the generations here I feel. Chuck Norris versus Jackie Chan. Would make for a good match up except for the fact that Chuck would be trying to advertise some keep fit product during the fight. Still, you gotta love the old school. Jackie's a pretty good bet for the modern era as he's got some pretty smart moves. The problem I have with him is teeming up with Chris Tucker for Rush Hour somehow didn't quite do it for me. Obviously worked for many others as they went a did a sequel, so it shows again how little I know.
I'm surprised Monkey didn't get a vote. I was going to vote for him as I spent hours watching that program. One worrying thing is that I may be the only one who did which is probably why he didn't pick up a vote. Also, a big apology for missing one of the masters off the list. And that, of course, was Hong Kong Phooey!
Time to try and break a piece of wood in half, then act like it didn't hurt when my hand bounces off it.
