Kareem Abdul-Jabbar trained with him and remarked about the fact that for such a little guy, he was a terrible bully.
I dunno whether the hair pulling, eye gouging etc. was cowardly or simply, as the rest of JKD was, ahead of its time.  
The cops that I've trained with certainly don't hesitate to go to the hair, groin, knees to the femur, etc., and even just goofing off in the back yard they think it's very funny if they injure you.  Exactly the opposite of what you see in the aikido dojo.
Not a lot of honor in it, but hair-pulling and beanballs do convey an advantage.  Somebody was talking about Bob Gibson?
