Later, I competed in Tae Kwon Do, and weight loss was an integral part of competition fighting. My weight loss plan and fitness training was then based a lot on the same ideas that Bruce Lee had. I will now outline a simple and yet effective weight loss and exercise plan.For weight loss, start with a “low-carb” diet, eating boneless/skinless chicken breasts, London broil, fish and shellfish, and very lean hamburger, for meats. Also for…
He was not only an actor and martial artist, he was also film producer, director, and singer. During his acting years, various directors tried to portray Jackie Chan as another form of Bruce Lee and failed. Lee’s techniques were too different from the ones Jackie Chan knew. Instead, he created a whole new film genre: comedy action films. In average action films, the actors were usually serious in their fights and seen as great heroes, but…

and my dad’s favorite Martial arts movie was “Legend of The Dragon”. To both of us we knew that Bruce Lee was a great Martial Artist and that most of his moves are not stunt double actions but he himself does the moves, of course the moves he does are a mix of different types of martial arts. These are the two reasons why I wanted to do Tang Soo Do in the beginning because I wanted to be like Bruce Lee and many other Martial Artists when I was young even until now I still want to still be like…
seemed to enjoy his time in the Corps, referring to himself as a 'ninja warrior ' and proving himself to be extremely skilled in martial arts (Newton, 2006). As a matter of fact, many of Ng 's fellow Marines took to calling him by the nickname 'Bruce Lee ' and it is possible that he intimidated many of them, as it has been noted that they went out of their way to avoid him (Crime Investigation, 2014). Ng was arrested in the October of 1979 for leading two comrades of his in stealing over ten…
In order to understand and accurately analyze how directors illustrate honor in Chinese martial arts film, it is imperative that we understand honor’s origin, meaning, and modern connotation. Historically, honor has been an incredibly intricate and important concept in Chinese martial arts and it has its roots in some of China’s most revered philosophers. Honor in martial arts has evolved from two primary philosophies; loyalty and universal love. Loyalty is the sense of devotion to a group i.e.…
Kongese and Chinese, and the latest one happens during the FIFA World Cup Qualification Stage football match. In Soccer and Society, Lee addresses on the relationship between sport and nationalism. ‘Research in sociology of sport suggests that sport is a form of national self-awareness and self-understanding, and sporting success is a source of national pride’ (Lee, 193). Generally speaking, national sport provides the platform for Hong Kong to perform itself as a nation. Without any significant…
In the past I’ve shared about the impact of the books you “choose” to read, the people you “choose” to meet, and the places you ‘choose’ to visit. My life changed this summer because of where we chose to go, China! After the death of my father in 1988, I buried my head in the world of martial arts. I became a ‘dojo rat’ as they say. All day it was practice, practice, practice. Once I had somewhat developed my skills I was taught to teach, but it really wasn’t teaching, it was learning as I…
Video #6 – “Mr. Baseball This video took a look at the cultural differences that we often take for granted. In this particular scene there was an American sitting on the floor, eating noodles, using chopsticks, in a traditional Asian household. The American is unfamiliar with these customs, and is confused by the chopsticks and slurping sounds. He also has trouble understanding who gets served their beverage first, as well as that it is bad luck to point your chopsticks vertically into the air.…
Grant and Lee I like the essay, “Grant and Lee” written by Bruce Catton, although I am not a political enthusiast reader. Inconsiderably, I hate talking about it and, more so reading about it. However, this essay gave me a great sense of evaluation. I cannot deny, my negative political perceptions and loss of confidence in politics. Even though, I know so little about the changing aspects of political views on the eighteenth century, I can quite understand and identify how both generals…
