    Id probably have to say "The Karate Kid" if you actually called that kung fu, otherwise id have to say Bruce Lee, in Enter the dragon, though when I was about 7 I saw a movie at a friends place who was a Taekwondo person, and saw some highly elaborate fight scene on ladders and only until like 3 days ago I realised that was Jet Li in one of the "Once apon a time in china" movies, cos I just saw a trailer on my 30th aniversary edition dvd set.

    Funny how ive seen most of jet li's movies but I havnt seen that one, I saw "Once apon a time in China 2" and thats it.

    Come on down to my house and I have all the Jet Li movies prior to Unleashed. It will have to be in mandarin though. No subtitles!

    My dad. My parents and my sister were all taking kung fu about the time I was born. They would take me to class with them. I was doing stances before I could walk. To bad things didn't work out better.

    fist view of kung fu

    Mine was Bruce Lee as Kato on TV and then on Batman as a kid. I didn't know it was kung fu though. I just thought he was lightning fast and a cool character.

    Who was the first person you saw doing Kung Fu

    The first person I ever saw doing Kung Fu was Bruce Lee.
    His movies still inspire kids and adults alike. I remember
    the glimmer he had in his eyes, and lightening fast moves.

    I don't remember where or who I saw Kung Fu from. It was most likely on TV - Black Belt Theater. The first MA I saw was Oyama Shihan (not Mas but Shigeru)

    I cannot remember my first encounter with Kung Fu. I watched Kung Fu theater with my dad from the time I was a baby. Mom never let me take lessons, though, which is why I didn't start training untill I was 18 and out on my own.

    Cant remember the first time i saw kung fu , but one of the few times i saw real kung fu and i thought wow, was about 6 years ago, this builder had come over, i dont know the word in english but he is the guy who puts all the wood in place for the concrete to be poured into when building a house.

    Now this guy had 1337 kung fu skillz, he could put part of the nail through the wood with his hands before hammering it in. Turns out since he was 12 and then he was 33 all he had been doing his entire life is putting the nail onto the wood and then hammering it in, so he had got so used to it when he tapped the nail on the wood he would have so much strength he put it through without even thinking about it.
    This guy was the nail gun
