Can't Wait To See This! I really do enjoy you video's Alex! You are one of the few good shows on martial arts and Bruce Lee things.
Really looking forward to this one.
THAT would not Work against me. I "DRAW" my opponent IN, with
Subtle movements—–And, I keep my Distance! I have fairly long arms
and Legs…..a good REACH.
Well, actually—–That was a "Few years" ago. I don't engage in much
Sparring these days; Just enough to keep me Sharp!
📽It’s a BONGO BLOWOUT FIESTA. 🍷a level 5 Conundrum in the foyer. A smoking gaff in the portico situation.” ☕️😂can’t wait. ☮️💯dude, have you noticed the views are waining here on YouTube? Everybody is saying it. That MEXICAN MARTIAL ARTS guy. Me and a few other creators were talking about it this week. People have noticed a drop. Ever since SNIPER WOLF saga began. Idk. Weird. 😇🤘🏼
10 minutes. 🙏☺️
@mikey That Spandau Ballet reference went over their heads 🤣🤣
Training with a warrior mindset is necessary for martial practices . So that if you are foisted into war you become the warrior you practiced to be. I respectfully disagree completely. If you don't train martial arts like you will be in real combat or war to be a "warrior" you are just LARPING for exercise. Bruce Lee was never in a war but he definitely trained as a warrior and was a warrior.
She said come sit next to me you fine fellow. You run over there without a second to loose but don’t just stand there bust a move.” 😂❤
I’m pretty good friends with JERRY POTEETS JKD. And from what I gather, they’re one of the only schools that’s teaching real actual BRUCE LEE MATERIAL. Of course DAN INOSANTO has his version. But they are complimentary. Meaning, we welcome everybody. So as to not make JKD scarce. Dan did introduce Bruce to KALI, but him using it was very little. A couple destructions maybe. Not much from KALI in JKD. Some of the hand entries are. KALI most likely comes from WING CHUN anyways. A long time ago, some #kungfu masters met in Malaysia, they shared #wingchunkungfu with the Philippinos. 😉☕️💯
I’ve watched every single episode and never agreed with anything more than Mikey’s opinion of Phil Collins 😂
Dan Inosanto said in one of his books on JKD ( that I read back in the 1980's ) that Bruce had incouraged him to pursue his cultural roots via FMA and integrate it into his JKD. It's very believable based on what we know about Bruce's philosophy that he would have wanted his students to follow their own Dao (Tao).
What role does Qi play in Kung Fu? Does it have an impact on the fighting techniques, the way a Kung Fu fighter is moving in a fight etc.?
Thanks for recommending Wrath Of The Dragon: The Real Fights of Bruce Lee. I read it in one sitting and really enjoyed it!
It baffles me that some people think the goal of Chi Sau is to stick to arms or trap the opponent's arm. Consequently, many individuals end up chasing hands and falling for feints and uncommitted attacks during sparring. It's ironic that schools exclusively focused on Chi Sau often produce students who use too many movements before actually executing a single strike.
In my opinion, Chi Sau is an exercise that develops a specific skill, which comes into play when your initial attacks fail to find their mark due to obstructions, for example. I strongly believe this skill can also be learned through other means aside from Chi Sau.
Below is a link to an old Chi Sau video in which the focus is on immediate striking or clearing the path to strike within one or two motions. It sure does not look very fancy or perfect, but that is not the point:

Dre looking like Judge Dredd (in the beginning). “I’m the law!”
Yip Man Quote of the Day: “The KFG is my homeboy!”
Rumor has it, Mickey can type a 60-page dissertation of why he loves Phil Collins.
🎶I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord
And I've been waiting for this moment, for all my life, oh lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord, oh lord
Well, if you told me you were drowning
I would not lend a hand
I've seen your face before my friend
But I don't know if you know who I am
Well, I was there and I saw what you did
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off that grin, I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies🎶
Talk to umm. let me find out Mike don’t know the lyrics lol😂😂💪🏽💯
Hello Alex, are you challenging“Beerdy” to a “beard” contest?..lol!
