What's your favourite?
Ip man (first one) is my favourite modern one with The Raid (yeh ok it must Thai) close second and for a classic, The Big Boss (Bruce vs Chuck)  |

I liked a lot of the early Jackie chan movies.
The raid was relentless I loved it.
But talking about the ethos of Chinese martial arts I don’t think you can beat a bit of Kung fu panda;-) |

"IP man best for attitude and ethos of the art, still hurts to strike that bloody dummy !"
Erm, on the fore arms you ain't supposed to actually punch it, and put the force in just bump the surface, even with pads on it.
Hook an jab pads to hit properly, it's a form on the dummy. |

"The original animated Fist of the North Star.
Not quiet Kung Fu but how about Lone wolf and cub series of movies
Sometimes referred to as Baby Cart series or Shogun Assassin...
 "
Shogun assassin was derek jarmen getting the wolf and cub ones and making a movie by chopping em up and adding a voice over.
Here's a classic from that period, sonny chiba, the street fighter and the street fighter 2 |

Am i showing of? You bet I am. Proud wife "
Kung fu styles it's a sash not a belt.
Wing chun though they don't usually do either, it's t-shirts white for apprentice, grey technician, black Sifu |

Outside the take-away, Saturday night
A bald adolescent, asks me out for a fight
He was no bigger than a two-penny fart
He was a deft exponent of the martial art
He gave me three warnings:
Trod on me toes, stuck his fingers in my eyes
And kicked me in the nose
A rabbit punch made me eyes explode
My head went dead, I fell in the road
I pleaded for mercy
I wriggled on the ground
He kicked me in the balls
And said something profound
Gave my face the millimetre tread
Stole me chop suey and left me for dead
Through rivers of blood and splintered bones
I crawled half a mile to the public telephone
Pulled the corpse out the call box, held back the bile
And with a broken index finger, I proceeded to dial
I couldn't get an ambulance
The phone was screwed
The receiver fell in half
It had been kung fu'd
A black belt karate cop opened up the door
Demanding information about the stiff on the floor
He looked like an extra from Yang Shang Po
He said "What's all this then
Ah so, ah so, ah so."
He wore a bamboo mask
He was gen'ned on zen
He finished his devotions and he beat me up again
Thanks to that embryonic Bruce Lee
I'm a shadow of the person that I used to be
I can't go back to Salford
The cops have got me marked
Enter the Dragon
Exit Jim Beam |

I'm obviously biased here having spent a fair bit of my childhood in my Kung fu pyjamas karate chopping n kicking the air along to the fight scenes in my favourite Kung fu films.....hiiiiiyaaahhhh!
So number one is of course yours truly battering seven shades of shit out of Chuck Norris.
I'm also in the number 2 spot for what should have been my masterpiece....but then I only went n died so couldn't see out Game Of Death to the end 
Jackie Chan is defo worthy of a mention for being both funny and a badass.
N last but not least Sammo Hung...."By eck! He can't half move for a fat lad"
Legend  |
