    Heh, heh. "Harry Wong". I hope he went to high school in China, 'cause that would be a tough name to have while attending a U.S. school... .

    but "how to be a fighter"????

    Cynthia Rothrock: Forms
    Don Wilson: Fighting

    They always go in a pair to me.
    Plus, they didnt really teach him to fight (in hopes of him becoming a good fighter). He did some sparring to build up confidence and get a little understanding that MAs are not just forms...they mainly did it for confidence for the test.

    Then again...thats probably what you were stating.


    Overall, it wasnt THAT BAD....but it was rather funny at times.

    I liked the ending, actually. He seemed to really enjoy it, so he went after the feeling.

    What I didnt like was how corny they made it :P I dont watch reality shows that often, so I dont really know if they are all like that...but thats what I found so amusing. It seemed like a kids show that wanted to be for adults

    Plus the fact that he cried because of what the lady said...That felt over-dramatized to me. Then again, the entire thing was.

    Very much so.

    What got me were the other "Martial Artists" they put him up against. None of them were impressive. The one that had "11" years experience I expected to atleast show alittle snap and power. She had none. She was just placing technique.

    They kept whining about his lack of flexibility, but never did they show him really actually doing a decent stretch.

    I watched it expecting to get a good laugh. I got what I expected. For the guy to come in off the street and try I've got to give him credit. Other than that, it's typical "reality" television with no reality anywhere to be found.

    the whole point was to pass him off as a martial artist not to make him a martial artist.

    cynthia rothrock still has a nice bum for a lass her age.

    the most hilarious part is that he has now moved to so cal to pursue a career as a martial arts instructor.

    omfg, is all i gotta say about that.
    Kung Fu is good for you.

    I think they selected Cynthia Rothrock not because of her ability to fight , but because of her acting skills, basically her knowledge on how to fake it.

    ****! I missed the show.

    If I were him I wouldn't move to SoCal. There are many real sifu's out here. He'll be better off in redneck Idaho or something where they don't have any clue of CMA.

    I did not see this program, but if this man has any form of decent intelligence then I am sure he is going to cali to persue his career as an instructor with the idea of studying for a few years first, and then hopefully becoming and instructor. Of course we all know about becoming and instructor after a "few" years of study, but it would not be anything new. Good luck to him and more power to the ranks of martial artists.

    Anyhoo, How was his sidekick?

    Last pics I saw of her she'd hooked up with Steve DeMasco's USSD stuff....

    I guess having him as the "authentic rep of Yong Xin" carries weight??

    I saw her in the early 80's at the Battle of Atlanta. All I could do as a preteen TKD'r was drool... still do kinda, but that's due to age now...
