Kung Fu the tv show

Rum, beer, movies, nice websites, gaming, etc., without interrupting the flow of martial threads.

Bruce was a shrimp, never had a real fight, gave demos and talked a lot of shit off camera.

Let's keep things in perpsective.


also, russell crowe is not a swordsman or a boxer and frankly is a dick in person.

bruce was a movie guy, not a kungfu guy except by image alone. he didn't even complete the curriculum in his wing chun school.
wing chun is the smallest system of kungfu you can learn, with teh least amount of sets and the least amount of time to learn it. Like any kungfu though, you get to practice and refine for a lifetime, but Bruce abandoned the teachings shortly after only going through half the lessons.

He had some natural abilities to kick etc etc, but never proved himself of any merit whatsoever in the reality of competitive violence or anywhere else for that matter. I do believe it was rumoured that he beat up a 16 year old boy on a movie set once though.

If you begin your practice starting on teh foundation of fantasy, what is your practice going to eventually be? That is a question worth asking of any martial artist.
Coconuts. Bananas. Mangos. Rice. Beans. Water. It's good.

Our time has passed. Let's move on here. :D



Huh? What about the one where Lee fought Kareem Abdul Jabbar and Chuck Norris??! I mean, CHUCK FREAKIN' NORRIS, man! It was so wildly popular that...uh... I forgot the name of the movie.

Game of Death was the name of that film.
