    Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story. What style did Bruces' opponent do?

    I was not sure if Bruce had already modified his Wing Chun by the time he fought Master Wong Jack Man(who I am told the fight is modeled after for the movie), or if he had added other arts by that time back in the day.

    Does anyone know the style that his opponent was using? Though it is obvious it is not Wing Chun, does anyone know what the other man is doing?(besides losing that is)

    All I can offer is that Wong Jack Man was known to practice Tai Chi Chuan, Xingyiquan and Northern Shaolin. So in theory it should be one of these three. I haven't seen the film in years, so I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

    For a guy who is listed as "banned" Syn, it's amazing how you come back to life.

    I see nothing wrong with my original question..

    Were you asking about what specifically they used in the movie, or about the martial arts of the actual real life person the character was supposed to be based on?

    Regardless of how the fight ended, it's pretty clear that it wasn't as easy for Bruce as the status quo would have people believe. There's no way that he would have changed his whole way of thinking towards MA, conditioning, etc., to the point of OCD by easily pounding another guy into submission.

    Wong Jack Man taught Northern Shaolin. He's still alive and i know that his student sometimes frequents this forum.

    the character in the movies was doing Movie-Fu, some Hung-Ga poses thrown in for good measure.
    "My Gung-Fu may not be Your Gung-Fu.
    Gwok-Si, Gwok-Faht"

    "I will not be part of the generation
    that killed Kung-Fu."

    ....step.

    movie fu is choreographed for the storyline

    I think that one of his opponents used hook or claws

    shih jian played the role of BL main villian

    well depending on what movie we are talking about.

    Movie Fu is a very lucrative offering. *wink wink* *nudge nudge* say, no more!

    Movie Fu, 2 for 1 passes to 3 months of training in this rare and demanding theatre art!

    takers?
