Bruce Lee was assassinated by Shaolin monks for teaching their secrets

As with the death of any public figure, there are those who develop various conspiracy theories to explain the deaths, rather than accept the official causes of death.

In the case of Bruce Lee, while he discussing the script of the never finished movie, Game of Death, with Betty Tingpei, an actress with whom he was co-starring, he had severe pounding headache and took some Equagesic, a painkiller given to him by Tingpei, and went into another room to lie down. Lee was severely allergic to aspirin and, unfortunately, the medication contained aspirin. The anaphylactic reaction caused his brain to swell, and he lapsed into a coma during his nap. Dr. R.R. Lycette of Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Kowloon, Hong Kong, cited a hypersensitivity to one or more of the compounds in the Equagesic tablet as the cause of death.

There is a world champion of the fighting arts

Just as with boxing, there are many governing organizations in the martial arts and each has many world champions, one for each weight class or other division. Therefore, there is no single world champion.

There are martial art death matches

When was the last time you heard about a martial arts death match in the newspapers, on the world news, or on the Internet. They do not exist, except in movies and imaginations, and they probably have never existed, at least not in modern times.

Masters are always calm and serene

Masters are people so they have the same emotions as other people. No matter, how they appear on the outside, inside they are still people and as such, they experience fear, anxiety, and nervousness, as do other people. Masters are actors with a role to play; they play the role of a master. However, when stressed in real life, the true feelings come forth. For example, see how clam the master is when you stop paying your training fee as required by his or her long-term contract..

A black belt can defend against a group of attackers

As you may have experienced during training exercises in class, one person cannot effectively defend against more than one attacker, unless the attackers are idiots, such as seen in the movies, and wait their turn to attack one at a time. The human brain cannot concentrate on two things at the same time; it can switch its attention from one thing to another and it may be aware of other things, but it cannot concentrate on more than one thing. You can concentrate on fighting one person and then on fighting another person, but you cannot concentrate on fighting two persons at the same time. When you concentrate on stopping the attacker with a knife, you will not be aware of the attacker that hits you with a club.
