Most Underrated Martial Artist Of All Time - Ralph Macchio - He Would Have Beat Bruce Lee

My father-in-law punched Ralphie boy in the face... They both went to the same high school.

Wrong Raplh

I knew some girl in the early 90s that jumped on stage and sucked Macchio off while he played guitar. Dude was a pro, didn't miss a riff

He did a good job in this interview.

Ralph Macchio is the secret son of Chuck Norris. Chuck noticed a hot babe in the 70's, took a long look, and BAM she was pregnant just like that.

Macchio is amazing

60 5 stars don't lie. Everyone knows Ralph is a badass

This is a Dave meadows CIA army xhink mk ultra post.

Extirpate all USA military and navy seals.

Right grant???!!! Lmao

Macchio is badass

Great movie

Honestly never knew

Just thought it was a movie

He’s a good kid

If he punched Ralph in high school, one of the following would be true:

1. Your father would not have lived to procreate.

2. Your father would have been turned into a eunuch by Ralph, and thus likewise rendered unable to procreate.

Ralph Macchio vs Chuck Norris

Coming soon....

Ralph Macchio lives about a mile from me.My kid is a brown belt in shotokan. My daughter could beat him.

I've neen hearing rumors of this myself. Do you have any solid links AC other than forum chatter?

Norris V Macchio would probably draw the biggest pay per view of all time. It would be epic

No contest.

Macchio's neigong abilities put him in a totally different class.

Norris may have killer facial hair, but can he time travel and release earth-shattering qi blasts?

I rest my case.

Your daughter could beat your kid? Thanks for letting us know, but this has ZERO relation to the epic fighting skills of R. Macchio.

I get where you are coming from but this isn't a street brawl. Regardless if the format is MMA or straight up a Karate tournament they are in close quarters at all times and it takes even Macchio at least 2 seconds to form up a qi ball or bend time. Would he have time for that? Maybe in a real world scenario but if Chuck is right there no way does Macchio even have 1 second to meditate and use the qi. That might not seem like a lot of time but it's an eternity in a fight. Unless Ralph seriously stuns Chuck and then goes Big Trouble in Little China on Ralph I say Norris wins hands down.

A no rules competition would be a different story.

You raise a fair point.

But even assuming Norris's aging reflexes are rapid enough to prevent a Macchio qi blast or time manipulation, Ralph's standard fighting technique far outweighs Chuck's brute strength.

Norris would be ended with a flawless crane kick. No doubt in my mind.

another astute post on this. but we could all argue this for months. no one knows until the get in the ring, octagon or whatever and we find out.

honestly, I could see it going either way.

I see you remain firm in your resolve and unswayed by my arguments.

Although you are undoubtedly incorrect in your assertions, and clearly have a naive and baffling faith in the abilities of Mr Norris, I must admit a grudging respect for your sense of conviction, if nothing else.

As you say, Macchio's superiority will never be displayed until the two meet mano a mano, which is unlikely to happen sans Norris desiring a swift conclusion to his earthly sojourn.

And with that, I bid you good day sir!

I'll take Norris in this fight any day of the week.

This is true, though maybe not as harsh as you are making it, but close.

Bruce trained in Wing Chun for roughly 5 years. According to interviews, he was talented (fit, had ability, worked hard) but was considered arrogant by the instructor and most of the students. He was not shown the whole system (especially the other punches) and moved on. One of Bruces main complaints was that Wing Chun did not have enough punches and strikes. Bruce set off to make his own system.

He was facinated by Western Boxing, as well he should be, as your average boxer will punch the crap out of 99.9% of martial artists, regardless of style. Most of his new system was taken from boxing as well as borrowing the footwork from fencing.

He also taught dance classes in Seattle for a time, contributing to his easy grace and very fast feet.

Sadly, any UFC fighter these days would smash him, that is the honest truth.

Still, the man did work hard on perfecting his body and capitalizing on that to get into the movies and become a huge star.
