Love it !! Yes !!! Moy Yat .. You are so accurate --- that is one of the reasons I enjoy your show. always super informative also !! Thanks for keeping it real . Keep on flowing like water my friend !!
One thing I remember reading was the geng si were depicted as ching officials as a slap in the face to one of the most hated and notorious dynasties. Basically showing them as a plague to the people.
You're very favorite commenter here: I read that one article about you in Playgirl, (2017), I learned a lot about your past as a hairstylist, bodyguard for Kevin Costner and short order cook in NY Chinatown...wow!! You've had a very colorful past. I hope you address that stuff in next episode 👍
@@TheKungFuGenius Ok, but sometimes Mikey drops the ball on stuff. In case he doesn't follow through, please write on Sticky note "address 2017 Playboy interview and discuss being bodyguard for Coster". Thank you so much
27:38 I swear to you know who. One of the popular teachers here on UA-cam talks to me on my teachers club Instagram. And I quote. “I’m concerned about your BONG SAO.” 😂❤I almost shhhhh. He tried to sell me lessons. I started Kung fu at age 10.
Hello Sifu Richter and a shout out to the KFG Crew especially Mikey aka "The White Phil Collins" for doing a great job filling in for the Doctor. Here's my question, would you consider San Da to basically be the realization of Bruce Lee's vision for Jun Fan Kickboxing?
"Stickin'" indeed! That was more than I'd previously heard about Jiang Shi (my Mandarin sucks and my Cantonese is worse lol). Thanks for taking the time to answer Sifu Alex! I'm interested to see that Sammo Hung movie.
Hello KFG and team! Do you know anything about the Lim Long style that Sifu Leung Ting talks about in his book "Roots and Branches of Wing Tsun"? And second question, what is the White Crane style that is talked about in the book? Thank you
Hi sifu...Was the movie 5 deadly venoms fight scenes created by Lueng Ting. Was those PRARRIES blocks low kicks Did he get the idea from using wingchun?
I'm not sure how much of the choreography was just made up whole cloth vs. drawn from real sources. Leung Ting and Chang Cheh made up the five venoms styles over lunch.
So how would you 'anglicise' in written form the way Lat Sau is correctly pronounced? In your book you still spell it as Lat and write lat1. Is it 'lut'? TIA
Great observation- this is because in the Yale system a single “a” as in “lat” or “sat” should be pronounced “lut” or “sut” respectively. The double “a” such as “laat” or “baat” are drawn out.
@@TheKungFuGenius thank you! And for knowing I meant romanisation 😂 Been a lazy, switched-off weekend here in the UK, thanks to people tugging forelocks to some bloke on a gold chair. Yet another informative episode 👍
Sounds like a Young Sifu Duncan, if you haven’t checked out that book called “Wing Chun Warrior” has some stories of Sifu Duncan and Bruce Lee challenging other schools in HK. Don’t know if it’s true but it’s a good read.
Great episode, as usual (#118). Shoutout to my favorite Dre, Mikey Deane. Shifu Alex, is it true that Bruce Lee was awarded an honorary black belt in Judo back in the 60’s? I heard someone saying it a while ago, never paid much attention to it (thought it was just another rumor), but recently I came across a picture of him wearing a gi with what looked like a black belt on his waist (the photo was in B&W), and got a bit confused. Did that really happen? And if it did, how come the Judo community never claimed that connection (in case you have some privileged information)? Your podcast is my favorite, and I’m not even a Wing Chun practitioner. 😉🤙
Thanks for another interesting podcast (listened on Spotify). FYI - Kung pao chicken 宮保雞丁might not be a thing Chinese eat, but it's definitely a food Taiwanese do. And so much better than what you get here.
KFG crew, yes all of you, great job, I really enjoy the content and appreciate you taking time to answer my questions even though sometimes they’re long, like this one seems to be already, word salad, salads are good for you, you want some ranch with that, anyway to the question, if Bruce Lee would have made a movie for or with Shaw Brothers, I think it would have been before Enter the Dragon, but if he had done that with SB, do you think that he would have to do what they say and have to make a movie in their style like a lot of the old Kungfu films where he might be a Shaolin monk or kungfu master with those old style clothes and jump for about twenty feet in the air and fight mid air for ten minutes before landing with one foot on a tree stump or run up trees, with wire work and wushu, peiking opera acrobatics, or would they let him make a movie his way kinda like his other movies with quick fights on the ground, instead of fifteen minutes fights with blocking with the fingers and splits, kicking with the toe and spinning high kicks and when punching someone they fly back five meters, so I guess the short version would be would he make a Bruce movie for Shaw Brothers or a Shaw Bros. movie starring Bruce, as a samurai or ninja, I probably need to think these through and condense the comments to a short version maybe, Uhm, nah I’m sure it’s fine, just kidding I’ll try to make them short, it’s just that you know so much and I know so little
After Grandmaster Yoda died, and the Jedi High Council that voted him in disintegrated, that was the end of that. LOL Palpatine's granddaughter, Rey is the hero now. 😄 What you need is a baby yoda like Grogu. He is mma... Neither fully Jedi nor Mandalorian. HE will bring the Balance.
Sir, if you have time to look at #Ranton's channel, about his "opinion on the wing chun ip man movie" what can you say, I hope you will notice my comment, thank you very much Greetings from Philippines
The Righteous Gemstones Season 1 has a scene where one of the characters is playing with a WD. Just a random comment since you all were discussing bad dummy form. He's supposed to be a martial artist on the show. Funny show but not suitable for young kids.
No, I don’t think Kung pow chicken has something to do with Kung Fu, unless that chicken put up a fight before they killed it, it has something with Kung POW enter the fist, come on, it’s the same name, now Mandarine chicken, now there might be something there with The Mandarine, and Peaking duck probably has nothing to do with peaking opera, but you know how sometimes they just stay there and look at you, they don’t stop staring and gazing at you, so they’re peeking ducks, peek a boo
Dear Alex, think you did the best thing to cut ties with unhealthy associations and their practises. Actually these guys lost a real asset with an level headed intstructor like yourself. Enjoy your personal insights and experiences that come from real life day to day teaching martial arts and overcoming obstacles and finding solutions for students rather than loosing time with idle gossip and cult subjects relevant to 3, 4 people in the martial arts world. If I wanted to learn Wing Chun I would recommend to study with a teacher like youself.
Thank you, that is very kind. But to be fair, I wasn't as level-headed as I am now back then. It's possible many from those days don't remember me in this way.
Well recommend you exactly for this reason. Maturing through time and experience, being aware of the process. Most martial arts associations do not promote or foster an enviroment to develop these qualities.
😮hk have 2 with 9 level new zeland have 1 with 9 but rip. Ewto kernspeht is 10 level just pay..but kernspeht give 3//4 .9 level . Hungary that maday have 9???

Duncan Leung made a name for himself down here in Hampton Roads, VA. There's a Moy Yat school here, too.

Great questions Mike D

Great SG HOW YOU BUILD ‘Historically speaking’ 🔥🔥🔥💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾great show crazy deep the Wing Chun organizations… in Hong Kong and Europe and America.

"Stickin'" indeed! That was more than I'd previously heard about Jiang Shi (my Mandarin sucks and my Cantonese is worse lol). Thanks for taking the time to answer Sifu Alex! I'm interested to see that Sammo Hung movie.
It was a very welcomed question compared to the normal Bruce Lee death conspiracy stuff!
Hello KFG and team! Do you know anything about the Lim Long style that Sifu Leung Ting talks about in his book "Roots and Branches of Wing Tsun"? And second question, what is the White Crane style that is talked about in the book? Thank you
I just answered this question on a solo episode I did for Instagram followers of which you asked me that question there. Should be out in two weeks!
@@TheKungFuGenius wow awesome
Although I just noticed the IG question didn’t have the white crane bit so I didn’t cover that unfortunately.
@@TheKungFuGenius "Maybe next time"
