Hey good news, Hong Kong just lifted some vaccine and quarantine restrictions today. Masks should be coming off too, anytime now 🤞
Bruce did it privately in teaching did not want to do it public ,before teaching high dollar actors of Hollywood. He wanted to keep track of his students & who he was teaching & know to know bases.
Suggestion:
I was marathoning the Ip Man movies the other day and I thought that it would be a great idea to watch a reaction/analysis video of the movie's fight scenes done by you guys. Maybe it would mean some extra work since it's not the usual format of your content, but I seriously think it would be awesome to watch a sifu deconstruct the scenes, move by move, and show what is useful and what's just cinema.
Anyway, it's just a suggestion...
Thank you Sifu Alex 🙏 and shout out to everybody on the team !🤘🔥
That’s a great idea! I did do a light version of it for the first film somewhere in season one. But this is definitely a great suggestion, and much appreciated.
Now we're all waiting for a super secret, never before seen Bruce Lee iron palm VHS that you found in your basement....😑😏😂. Beerdy has a ton of them! I checked it out!😂😂😂
Thanks for finally addressing the “BruceLeeBullshitChannel”.
He also posted a video of an interview with Max Lee and how he challenged Bruce Lee and Bruce kicked him across the room. Like the Carter Wong real video, he distorts what Max is actually saying by changing the subtitles from the original interview. Yes, Bruce kicked Max across the room, but it wasn’t a fight or challenge. If memory serves me, it was for testing camera angles or just a friendly show of force. Again, if memory serves me, Bruce was concerned he hurt Max and immediately checked on him, but he was fine.
Liars like him and Beerdy do a disservice to Lee’s legacy. That’s why I love what you and Prince from Goldenbell Training do and hopefully will continue to do.
Thank you!
Three books
I actually enjoyed reading but not purely because they were martial arts books -
(1 ) "Pa Kua"
by Robert W.Smith
(2) "Aikido and the
Dynamic Sphere"
by Adele Westbrook
and Oscar Ratti
(3) "Chinese Boxing"
by Robert W. Smith
Another great video!
“Is it hygiene?” Dre 😂
Great tip about reading more. I've been working on that; I even bought a kindle reader. The great thing about reading on a Kindle is that there are fewer distractions than reading on the phone. Also, I'm a highlighting fiend. To keep compile them, I use a subscription service that'll archive my highlights so i can organize them on my notes. Because that's the key: make a note of everything you read. It's an eventuality that you'll forget what you read and if you forget, then you might as well not have read the hundreds and hundreds of books. I now take notes on anything i find interesting and store them on my phone. Even stuff i find interesting on podcasts i jot down: I can pull anything interesting like when the KFG talked about how "-the pole is the teacher and the knives are the mother and father" from episode 19 of the theory class sessions. Having a great note taking system is important. I accredit Bruce's immortality on his copious notes.
Awesome comment brother!
@@TheKungFuGenius thanks! I just wish I started the habit earlier. speaking of kindle, will we ever see your books there?
Perhaps! But Amazon really punks authors on fees. I’m actually thinking of creating an audiobook version so people can hear the proper pronunciation, but again I need to find a way to distribute it without it just being copied.
@@TheKungFuGenius amazon punks authors? To quote Mikey D, “shaawker!”
Roadwork is to me the king of exercise!! From 185 pounds to 160 pounds I am lighter & leaner!!
Like I said, if people have the genetics and the technique for running, no problem. But running has destroyed more hips, knees, and ankles, then Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
Hello again Sifu Alex and gang 🤙🏼
I have a question for you I think you might like….
So I was wondering your thoughts on how Martial Arts plays a role in mental health.
We all know Martial Arts makes you strong and fit and turns you into a weapon and all that good stuff. But in your experience, how do you see that it’s made you into the man you are today mentally. How has it bettered your life ?
For me, through Martial Arts and films I’ve found what helped me the most is learning about meditation and learning to control anger and calming that fire down when needed.
Your thoughts please Sir, and thank you for your time 🙏🏼
PS….. Dre you’re a funny dude man, I love the energy lol OSS 🙏🏼
Great question!
SG you never cease to amaze me with your wisdom. Great podcast! Peace!
Hello Sifu Alex, For the next printing or edition edition of the dummy book, please consider "lay flat binding." it allows the reader to leave the book open while trying a move on the dummy or in the air, a great convivence and a value-added element.
Too expensive!
@@TheKungFuGeniusPerhaps someday as part of a premium offering. It would be a value added offering that would be attractive to those who have already purchased the book, giving them cause to buy one again. Love the podcast and your many contributions.
There was a GM Baxter. He was friends with Rolex😅.
Hahah, deep cut reference
Another banger episode fam
KFG, I hate to be that guy but you should fire Dre for wearing that hoodie that says I Love Beerdy.
Carter Wong knew Bruce Lee...wow..thats mind blowing. He was memorable in Big Trouble in Little China. Can you imagine if Bruce had shown up in a 'What if movie' to fight the 3 gods in chinatown. Crazyyyy
Yeah, you can type in Carter Wong and Bruce Lee in Google and see some photos of them together
They were both working for golden Harvest at the time, and both shared many of the same co-stars in their films. Carter always had something positive to say about Bruce. David Kurata the same, only I don't think he was working for GH at the time
This was another great episode.
👏👌💫 -Thank you Alex and Team!
This is becoming the Beerdy Real Fight channel lol. In all honesty tho, its great your clearning alot of this miss-info up!
It makes sense to us because those two channels have such incredible reach, and are spreading so much misinformation to people who honestly want to know about Bruce Lee
Grandmaster Baxter entered the Chat.
Haha
Fire 🔥
Hey Alex! Another great episode! I've always enjoyed your movie recommendations. Any favourite movie that you have around the character of Pak Mei?
Damn good episode nice bit of info , banter and hot nonsense!A bloody hat trick! Mr KFG.
In other news I did comment before the podcast was aired.My comment disappeared..... Which I thought was odd.It contained the word "elon" too controversial maybe? Lol
My UA-cam channel does filter some stuff automatically, I’m not always entirely sure what the criteria is.
Awesome show.
When it comes to running, anything more than a mile, the next day, my knees would be killing me. Luckily Brooks Adrenaline running shoes are a life saver. Easily jog/run 3-5 miles pain free.
Hilarious outtakes 👏😂🙌
sometimes my favorite part of every episode!
Love your channel 🥋 💥
Thank you!
The ending 😂😂
Outtakes on fire
A question for the KFG would you agree that while foul tactics add a spice to techniques and tactics. If you start with chef Boyardee, it's still going to be chef Boyardee
KFG I've seen some of poetic sayings, from Yip Man and others so I thought I'd give it a try first be a good host if attacked stomp his grapes make him whine. Second attention to detail dot the eyes (finger jab) and cross the Ts (knife hand). It's still a work in progress
Great episode Alex,I can remember at Bruce Lees Hong Kong funeral service,I remember seeing Carter Wong there,like Bolo Yeung,and looked very young,any real Bruce lee real fights,is the ones you spoke about with,John Little on the Podcast,know one touched Bruce in he's life time,keep the great episode coming 👍
Thank you
WCI is my favorite magazine on the planet.
Hi guys, love your channel :) Have you seen any of Paris Demers videos about Bruce Lee? "Interesting" stuff, I'm far from being any expert on Bruce but his comments made me raise an eyebrow a few times!
Never heard of it!
Love the advice about habits, as well as your previous advive on how people shouldn't think too much about whether to take a class or what art they should or can do and just go do it. My question though wonders from your experience as an instructor for nearly two decades what type of people should consider learning wing tsun, physically, or if there are people that you would politely discourage or refuse. Is there an age or size, like a 40 year old or 450lb guy walks in interested, do you treat them like any other potential student or is there a point where you get real with them and tell them to consider doing something else? Thanks!
Great question!
1st life havit for martial arts. Hygene....ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE GRAPPLING!!!
Great episode..i had several arguments with BLRFC in the past in particular when BLRFC posted a video about Bruce Lee visiting Sammo hung in BARCELONA, SPAIn when Sammo was shooting a movie and Bruce going to Dojos to challenge people and beat them all. I hope you understand how wrong this but what really called my attention, is the amount of people who really and i mean REALLY wanted to believe this story, even when i provided evidence.
I think season three of the KFG podcast is gonna be a lot of me going after these charlatans directly
Hey Dre, Love the sweat-shirt!
I am currently starting to learn Cantonese. I’m very interested in the Chinese culture and Chinese Kung Fu. I want to learn how to pronounce the wing chun terms correctly now that I am learning. I can also correct some of the translations our school has
Another good habit for martial artists would be to minimize outside influences that impact negatively the learning curve of the art so many folks watch some mma guy beat up a wing chun practitioner then say it's worthless but you hear cricket's from these guys when Anderson Silva loses to a UA-camr or excuses like he was old or whatever so good habit would be ignore the negative just focus on the goals that are important to you and your life in martial arts
lol
BRO!!!! I know you've probably gotten hit up on this and if you read this on your podcast I know it'll be weeks out because how you record your shows!! BUT, have you heard Michael Jai White's comment, in an interview, when asked who would win in a fight between Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee, that he feels that Jackie Chan could beat Bruce Lee in a real fight!! (Eye roll insert here)! He based it on JC being slightly bigger than Bruce Lee and basically saying JC was a tough dude and he wasn't a small guy. So JC , not technically a trained martial artist could beat a guy who worked out with everyone he trained and sparred and he would still lose. Regarding size, if you look at the dungeon fight scene in ETD when JC grabs Bruce Lee from behind aren't they basically the same size!!! He was also asked if he and Bruce Lee were the same size (Bruce Lee being his size) he'd still beat Bruce Lee. Just wanted to know if you saw this yet. I know you hate this shit but I had to ask!! Peace Bro!!
The bigger crime is caring what Michael Jai White has to say about anything.
@@TheKungFuGenius ...Lol!! Great answer!!
“Because of my bulky ass big legs are too damn tick I can spring up hill… no proooooooooooblem!” KFG #doubleimpact
#BuiltForRunningHillsNotStreets
@@TheKungFuGenius One reason you feel so beat up from running could also be caused by less than ideal technique. Take your shoes off and run! (On a safe surface.) Then copy that runningstyle with shoes on! I can recommend the book "Born to Run" by Christophe McDougall, an excellent book!
To me, any martial artist that doesn’t want to be flexible is just like the gym dude who skips leg day.
Werd
I lost it on BDE😂
Yeah I think many ppl missed that
Nice sweater dre
Great episode! :)
Thank you
All martial art schools should have your philosophy, outlook and way of teaching. People come to train for different reasons let them without imposing expectations on them. Dre, BD means behavior disorder, unless Sifu Alex has another meaning in mind...lol
It was BDE hahaha something else entirely…
bruce lee, simply the best. no doubt, thanks for the video!
I keep running to a minimum
Hi KFG and team! Thoughts on DK Yoo vs Pacquiao fight?
Did it happen already? I have to admit I don’t really follow that guy.
As a Boxing fan i did. :) Fighting against such a legend like Manny is just great. But yeah its a bit like Logan Paul vs Floys Mayweather jr.. His brother Jake Paul is at least more of a real Boxer then Logan is.
I hope Jake is fighting Tyson s Fury little brother Tommy Fury soon.
😂😂😂
I think Bruce Lee Real Fight channel is Thai - Chinese based on this video, he speaks perfect Thai here in this interview about the folks who met Bruce during the production of "The Big Boss." ua-cam.com/video/xnOqELYAIAo/v-deo.html
👍👏👌
I am not sure, but maybe this BLRFC had 1-2 videos online when you see him speaking. I mean seeing his face. But maybe it was someone else i dont know. So or so he is at least better in one thing: He acts more like a democrat and asks his viewers on their opinions in the end of many videos, while Beerdy acts like a dictator and doesnt allow any other opinion.
But sure he also fakes stuff on purpose thats obvious.
Honestly one little other thing:
I dont know why this "war" between mandarin and cantonese is still going on? I personally find it cheap and completely unecessary.
I mean your example with Li Xiao long intead of Lei Siu lung:
There are also cantonese people who call Jet Li not Li Lian jie but Lei Lin git instead. So they could also respect him and go with the mandarin version of his name, because he himself pronnounce himself as "Li Lian jie".
Same with Bruce s fotos in the shaw brothers studio from 1973 even after ETD:
In some of them he is dressed wearing a blue uniform. 90% of his die hard fanboys dont even know that this man in blue was actually a real historical figure:
It was the chinese military general who is ONLY known under his mandrain spelling, Nian Geng yao.
But no, only because the good old Bruce only spoke cantonese his die hard fans refuse to spell Mr. Nian the way he is known, and "cantoneses" his name to Nien Kan yao (which isnt even correct). It is the same as using Fok Yuen gap instead of Huo Juan jia. This guy is known under his mandarin spelling.
Of course i also respect the other way around:
A couple years ago there was a movie released in the west named "Lin Shirong". I didnt know who that was, never heard of him. Until i saw a real life foto of him, and realized he was actually Lam Sai wing. I never heard the name Lin Shi rong before.
To spell Lam Sai wing as Lin Shi rong is of course utter nonesense too.
So for my money it should be Nian Geng yao (NOT Nien Kan yao) and Lam Sai wing (NOT Lin Shi rong).
I mean we in the west should use the dialect which the person himself wants to, i mean Li Lian jie and not Lei Lin git, but also Lam Sai wing and not Lin Shi rong.
But in my humble opinion to tell a cantonese guy to use a mandarin spelling or a mandrin guy to use a contonese spelling is imo not really necessary.
It’s possible, but I don’t really watch enough of it to know or really care
@jpssteveshanahan Yes i did. I gonna answere you when i am fit again. I wrote this comment to KFG yeseterday because writing a little text is easier as writing a reply. I have a very heavy Sinusitis since 8 days with fever, big headaches etc., so i am currently only here for a short time.
But i gonna reply if that thing is gone. :)
Cheers
