I guess the monk wasn’t Kwai Chang Caine.
Apparently he did not do the pebble out of hand thing.
“The secret to Martial Arts, is not style but training.” “Practice a hundred moves five times, it is of no use whatsoever. But practice one move every day, and it’ll be your lifetime protector.”
Dad, and I never missed “Kung Fu” when it was aired. Good times.
Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face.

I am Caine.
Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face.
The problem with most martial arts is that most do not practice “full contact”. They have nice moves, but are not used to taking a hit.
Boxers are trained to take hits and keep fighting.
Kung Fu was before my time. However, I did enjoy “Kung Fu: The Legend Continues” in the mid 90’s.
Argument by exception.
The left does that all the time.
Abortion: what about the 12 year old girl that was raped by her uncle?
Climate change: look at this one spot somewhere on earth and how it’s gotten hotter, ignore the snow blizzards elsewhere.
Guns: look an assault weapon was used for a crime (small percent).
Abortion: Once upon a time, 35 years ago, there actually was someone that bombed an abortion clinic. It’s not common. But you’d never guess that reading the media which still mentions this constantly.
....
They use the 1% exception and pretend that’s an argument to make a rule. It isn’t. It actually shows they’re stupid, or their readers are stupid and those writing that garbage are manipulative.
Fake martial arts work great until you try to use them on people who aren’t your students.
Huh?
I believe I read that David Carradine was drinking a 1.75 liter jug of vodka or other spirits daily while he played the older relative of the star in that series.
Wouldn’t surprise me. But as a teenager, I still enjoyed the show.
Carradine had his share of demons that got the best of him.
That being said I liked his work.
Yes, but you’ve got it opposite.
The exception is if a king fu master beats a boxer.
King fu is movie stuff.
Bruce Lee. nuf said.
It always comes down to the fighters in question. Some people are simply more adept than others at fighting. I doubt that this boxer could defeat the Shaolin monks of the past, who dozen Shaolin monks have held off an army.
The Mao Chinese destroyed probably 97% of what used to be taught in the Shaolin temples.
Gotta admit Mike Tyson could turn a phrase. That one’s a classic.
