It's a shame that some people still today believe that Bruce was the best martial artist around when he doesn't have a clue about Taiji.

I've always thought it'd be interesting to see how Bruce alters his art to suit his aging body if he hadn't died so young. Perhaps when his superb physique, muscular force, and speed begins to deterioate due to age, he'd choose to take a second look at CIMA and come up with a different conclusion.

I also remember reading somewhere in his earlier years in the states that he was really interested in Baguazhang.
