This man made me love martial arts till this day .Sadly one of the most underrated martial artist in the world . Really hope his projects get to be blockbusters
This man the probably the greatest driving-force behind my martial arts training. I first saw him when he was doing Sidekicks....he did a back-flip, breaking a board 3 feet above his head. When I started my training, I was 10. And when I saw this guy (only 2 years older than me) doing things I could only imagine, it pushed me even harder. I hope I can meet him one day. I would consider it a great honor....even today, he still shows us how he fights.
That guy used to be my martial arts instructor back in the day West coast taekwondo in San Jose such a trip and then he went on to do movies and stuff like his dad
He was my first crush when I was a little kid! I saw TMNT 2 so many times! I loved Ninja Turtles! But he was the real reason that I went to see the movie so many times! I hope that his health improves!
This dude here is my doppelganger for real ever since I found out about him in sidekicks... i showed my kids the movie rundown when he was fighting Dwayne, and my kids tripped out and said we really do look alike.... hope he's doing well!!!
First I opened this video, I said oh he looks familiar,, then went through comments and read. Then gotcha.. Anyways every person is facing difficulties. It's hard sometimes and easy as well. Glad to hear you passed through it and that's a grateful things we can say to.
That's what I'm always wondering all the time but this hardly ever happens to people who abuse substances and let their weight get out of control. It makes no sense
@@brad9888 he’s a high performance machine. They break down, he looks pretty damn good for someone in kidney failure. Like he said..his lifestyle probably saved him from much worse. Similar to Bob Harper of Biggest Loser having heart attack. Doesn’t seem fair.
This....guy...was...the...SHIT, when I was growing up. A little kid kicking ass like a fuckin' SUPERHERO! Sad to hear about the kidney failure, glad he's doing well.
First saw him as kid on a cop like show years ago before he got into movies and all. cool to know more about him and see if doing good and all. had to check and the show i first saw him in was Sidekicks. and then surf movie and ninija turtles.
In the early 80's when I was like 4-5 years old, this dude was my idol. I had some VHS tapes with him doing karate beating up older guys and I wanted to be him so bad. I used to put a pair of underwear over my head and pretend I was a ninja.
I used to record 'Sidekicks' with the VCR every Friday night when I was 11. My favorite episode was when El Debarge made a special appearance and performed 'Thrill of a Chase', 👄 sync, ofcourse.
WTH? Where are his fans that are a match to help him get a kidney? This man should not be on dialysis nobody should but especially a man with so much fans. They could do a donor chain to find a match. If I was him I would go get surgery done in India, Russia, or Thailand. He has the money. Dialysis is no way to live for anybody. The longer you wait for a kidney the worst recovery you have and your kidney will not last long or function as well as if you had gotten the kidney right away and that is a fact. So sad. Sending good energy his way and wishing him all the best.
I had no idea that he was the young kid on "The Last Dragon".How did he end up getting kidney failure??. I want to know to prevent this from happening to me.

I love the Martial arts for him.
Very underrated
Totally agreed. He's among a handful that is underestimated
💛
I looked up to this guy as a kid. I wanted to be him so badly. Thank you for the great memories Ernie!! Wish you all the best!
I used to rewind and rewatch surf ninjas like 3 times day when I was 8 years old.
acreppinstp 😭
I just watched it today after so many years. Never gets old.
Totally!
One of my alltime favorites! A true childhood gem
BRO YOU FUCKIN ALREADY KNOW. I DID TOO!
man... this did was my idol growing up. great interview. glad to see him like this.
wow he still sounds like a teenager...glad he's doing okay. my childhood idol...
Filipino Martial Arts Kali Arnis Eskrima - Palasan Eagle Kali Angeles City Chapter You're totally right! I thought the same thing.
This dude is iconic and deserves allot more credit than he got his whole life .. and the cutest litl kid to . Im happy hes doing better
He is sooo cool. As a kid I loved his worked.
I saw him in a airport in Dallas. I literally couldn't move as my entire childhood was literally sat right there before me.
His amazing ❤ get well and enjoy your family
So positive and uplifting ...even after all he's been through....respect !
Great guy. Going through dialysis is a life changer big time. Glad he still living life to the fullest.
I met Ernie years ago..the nicest guy you will ever meet, I’m elastic he’s doing so much better.. he looks fantastic
How did you become elastic? Lmao. Sorry I had too
Elastic?
That was a stretch.
Lol probably meant to say ecstatic, maybe his spell correction wasn't working.

He is awesome
The fight scenes he did in Ninja Turtles 2 was awesome.
A testament to the arts , that he can remain so positive. Dialysis is serious.
I gotta admit, when he said like now and made that attah sound I got the feels. That's such an icon sound coming form him.
Ernie Reyes Jr and his dad absolute legends and under rated
So THIS is the lil' kid that kicked ass in Last Dragon
Don't forget his Sidekicks show.
@@sarek8472 ohhh Sidekicks, that was an awesome show, i remember that, he was an amazing martial artist at such a young age!
And Red Sonja
man i'm just glad he's ok. i had the first episode of Sidekicks on tape and would watch it everyday.
Wishing you the best Ernie. From the Philippines.
The under rated martial artist.
That guy used to be my martial arts instructor back in the day West coast taekwondo in San Jose such a trip and then he went on to do movies and stuff like his dad
God bless your health Ernie forever ❤
I love him in Surf Ninjas
As man, he has always been legendary!
I'm glad he's doing ok.
It's strange seeing him now. I loved him in tmnt 2 and surf ninjas. He's old now but still has that youthful sounding voice.
So glad he’s doing better! I really hope his projects take off and his daughter finds success in movies!!!
Had the biggest crush on him! Glad to see he such am amazing warrior in life.
I grew up under his dad and Kwnj. Fears. Ernie Jr has always been positive and high energy. I hope he stays well.
Stay strong brother ❤💯🔥
He was my first crush when I was a little kid! I saw TMNT 2 so many times! I loved Ninja Turtles! But he was the real reason that I went to see the movie so many times! I hope that his health improves!
I love ernie and am glad he's up and in high spirits. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I have been a fan since the Last Dagon !!!! He has the glow.
This dude here is my doppelganger for real ever since I found out about him in sidekicks... i showed my kids the movie rundown when he was fighting Dwayne, and my kids tripped out and said we really do look alike.... hope he's doing well!!!

Salute to the legend Ernie Reyes Jr💯
I really enjoy his work as an actor & martial artist so I wish him nothing but luck in every challenge that comes his way health wise
He is the best
@@raavhollywood He sure is
Crazy how he still sounds exactly the same as he did in Surf Ninjas even though he's very clearly older.
He is a Legend. I suddenly feel so old looking at him like that now.
I know right. He is my whole childhood
First I opened this video, I said oh he looks familiar,, then went through comments and read. Then gotcha.. Anyways every person is facing difficulties. It's hard sometimes and easy as well. Glad to hear you passed through it and that's a grateful things we can say to.
God bless you Ernie and hope you recover soon
Good to see him going he was such a inspiration an a true legend he is one of the first successful foreign actors
Ernie is a action hero to me! Showin love!!
Stay strong get better my man!🙏🏅👌👍😇
Him and his dad... legends.
Despite his illness he hasn't aged badly at all. Stay on your grind and defeat the odds brother..
The Last Electric Knight!!
How could this happen to someone who is so healthy and always active?
That's what I'm always wondering all the time but this hardly ever happens to people who abuse substances and let their weight get out of control.
It makes no sense

TMNT II my favorite movie.
Seems like a good honest dude.
This....guy...was...the...SHIT, when I was growing up. A little kid kicking ass like a fuckin' SUPERHERO! Sad to hear about the kidney failure, glad he's doing well.
He is still THE MAN
Stay with us Ernie.
He looks great and has a great outlook. He's inspiring.

anyone remember the 80s tv show with the foster cop dad? i feel old.
Sidekicks? I was an 80's kid too.
yes sidekicks! nice memory.
Robert Purvis yeah i remember it was called sidekicks the Foster Dan was Gil Gerard AKA Buck Rogers
Robert Purvis i do thats SideKicks AKA The Last Electric Knight
I watched that show too. Hope Ernie continues to be in good health.
Hope he has a good long life
I used to record 'Sidekicks' with the VCR every Friday night when I was 11. My favorite episode was when El Debarge made a special appearance and performed 'Thrill of a Chase', 👄 sync, ofcourse.
He seems cool as hell. I wonder if he still surfs. X)
Remember seeing him on The Rundown I was like Keno got hella ripped!
Remember him when he was the kid in ninja turtles. Glad he is doing better
A fan since Red Sonja.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 it all works out for him
This guy is as strong as his career
Very good Man!!
He whooped the rock ass in the rundown
I had no idea he had kidney issues. God bless him
I started studying karate because of this man!

All I know..is Ernie is the man. I loved him growing up
Surf Ninjas was the best
Please please please Surf Ninjas 2.
Gastroholix I would sacrifice goats to get a Surf Ninjas 2. Bring back Loc and Rob and Sr. Oh that would be the greatest.
@@6O8gamer07 i need that sequel in my life!!!!
I find it so amazing how martial artists who train everyday eat right And are healthy seem to always end up with health problems
so odd
@@raavhollywood Bruce Lee prolly had major coke habit though (source recent Bob Baker letters , Baker was Lees drug mule)
The last dragon!
Ima cry
I had no idea that he was the young kid on "The Last Dragon".How did he end up getting kidney failure??. I want to know to prevent this from happening to me.
Kino😍😍😍😍😍
When I was a kid, I thought he'd grow up to look like Bolo Yeung. Didn't quite turn out that way.

Wow. Looked this up after watching him in Red Sonja! Anyone know why he developed kidney failure?
Master slasher sounds like a great idea.....a samurai slasher movie....yes please
