    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?

    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?

    As mentioned above, the guy in the movie was doing movie-ized Hung Gar.

    A long time ago, I read an article that Wong Jack Man was known more for his Northern Shaolin at the time of his fight with BL. Although I have doubts that styles were much of a factor.

    They make it out to be that BL's back was broken by a sneak attack in the fight, when in reality he injured it himself while incorrectly performing a weight-lifting exercise.

    in the "real life" confrontation, arent here conflicting stories as to how the fight really went down. isnt it the linda lee/bruce lee camp who always gets to tell their side on tv?? i wonder how jack mans camp feels about this and if he is still alive, sounds like he won in the end, reguardless.

    Wong Jack Man IS still alive but is retired from gung fu now. Unfortunately, not even to his own students will wong jack man talk about what happened. But from day one that bruce came over to SF he'd caused trouble in Chinatown which is eventually why he moved out of sf.

    I think if Wong Jack Man were to agree to have a movie made from his perspective of the fight and how it went down it would be a very interesting movie.

    HMMMMM.....what would the title be?
