Hi, Yen! I apologize for not answering your post sooner. I’ve been busy/distracted lately.

I have heard that musical cue many times in KF movies, but at this time, I still can’t identify it. If...

His school’s website says “Taekwondo, karate, jiu jitsu, self-defense, qigong, arnis/kali, meditation.”

The Witch: Subversion.

I’m not sure if this has been mentioned here before, but this is the best action/suspense movie I’ve seen in years. IMO, this movie is far superior to The Villainess, as...

The traditional styles I’ve practiced...Changquan, Northern Tanglang (Mantis) and Choy Lay Fut...have all contained at least some forms that don’t start and stop in the same spot. All traditional...

I have no problem at all with kids/young people doing acrobatic/wushu-type forms. What I have a problem with is when they enter the traditional divisions, and the judges score their form higher than...

TBH, I’m always much more impressed by a good, solid traditional form, performed to near-perfection by a seasoned practitioner, than all the flashy acrobatic forms in the world. I’m pretty sure that...

Not stressed. What’s the point? Being stressed won’t accelerate the end of this pandemic. I wasn’t stressed earlier this year when they were announcing the possibility of a pandemic. I didn’t...

Thanks, especially for this one.

This was perhaps the single most prolific musical cue ever in independent kung fu movie history. I think at one time I had a list of over two dozen kung fu...

Chinese ghost stories/movies have never creeped me out.

Now, some of the Japanese ghost movies from several years ago were pretty creepy.

I’ve seen only one Korean horror movie that I thought...

Hi, Yen! Welcome to the forum.

Yes, it is a beautiful track, but I don’t know the name of it, or if it’s even been posted online. If I ever find it, I will be sure to post it here. Or maybe...

Having seen the documentary “I Am The White Tiger,” I rate it as excellent. Mark Houghton’s story is an amazing one; just seeing him in his movie appearances is not enough to truly appreciate his...

My condolences.

Maybe he ate them all.

He should also be charged with fraud for implying in his poster that he could teach kids to defy gravity and run upside-down on the ceiling. Or that he could teach anyone...

Gene,

It probably wasn’t her TKD she used, as the description of the fight is that she “started throwing punches.” More likely she was using her boxing or karate training. Older-style (ITF?) TKD...

I have tons of respect for Mark Houghton, and this interview is very insightful:

Also, here is the trailer...

Do you mean Share K. Lew?

Finally saw it. I liked it more than I thought I would. IMO, it’s the best sequel of the Ip Man franchise.

Interestingly, Chris Collins, who plays the senior karate guy, is portrayed as a...

In actuality, TKD was Korean karate. General Choi had been a 2nd dan in Shotokan and based his TKD off of it. Quite unlike the Olympic TKD now.

IMO, a seven-year sentence isn’t nearly enough for...

James Hong definitely deserves his star on the Walk of Fame. He should have gotten it years ago.

I saw James Hong once in person, at the 1997 Tat Wong International tournament in SF. The only...

657 - Nongcun Jiu Ge (“Countryside Wine Song,” from Taiwan Folk Songs, Vol. 2, 1978, by Li Tai-Hsiang).

A faster version of this song (also by Li Tai-Hsiang) is heard in:

Hanging from a pull-up bar, or doing pull-ups, is a great way to work grip strength and other things. I haven’t done those in years, because I have no access to a pull-up bar.

The type of...

For the most part, I still have my hand speed and reaction timing, and my strikes haven’t lost any power, I just don’t train as much as before, and now I listen to my body and don’t take it for...
