Oh and, while primarily a WC player, and the other notables Bruce Lee trained in that everybody knows (epee and western boxing), he also trained WTCC, TT, and something else I am forgetting. Mantis style I believe he had some form of knowledge in. I think Inosanto said he also had some knowledge of Jujitsu but I have no idea where he might have picked it up.

It's hard to call since we can't turn back time and enter Tyson into UFC 1 but it's pretty dang hard to avoid any kind of takedown when you've never seen one in your life. Maybe Tyson would have landed the uppercut, maybe he woudnt have. Who knows hah

Can you key me into some of those abbreviations. I don't think
bruce ever actually trained JJ. I know inosanto did but only much later in his life.

One or two? He's pretty decent and still active in MMA it seems:

And don't dismiss Yoshida over Judo olympic gold. He got olympic gold, WC gold, 2x silver and 1x bronze. He probably knows a trick or two.

Yoshida has always looked bloated at 205 but I haven't been able to find pictures of the weighin yet. Ishii is young and in his prime training with great MMA camps such as Xtreme Couture and ATT. Yoshida on the other hand has always remained a judo-brawler in MMA and never could or never bothered to become anything but that, seemingly being satisfied with his already set super-star status in Japan.

Maybe inosanto confused judo with JJ.
WTCC is a combat form of tai chi chuan (wu tai chi chaun). In HK we call it Nga.
Tam Toi - or specifically what he did Jing Mo Tam Tui is a northern chinese martial art. For reference BL was from HK which you know, is southern. The MA's are actually rather different between the two.
I think he might have also trained xingyiquan (another northern style). I don't remember what it is that I am forgetting, that might have been it.
