In this episode I recap my most recent Hong Kong tour with Dre (while still in Hong Kong).  I discuss the future viability of such tours and whether I will continue them in the future.  Spoiler alert: I will do ONE last tour in 2025 (click link below for more info).

On this episode I chime in on my take after the "great JKD debate" (that never happened) between Sifu Torres and Sifu Dwight.  After my enlightening conversation with Dwight, I learned a few new things and updated some of my thoughts on the "concepts" vs. "original" JKD argument.  Enjoy!

Today we have a slightly shorter episode than usual - it's more or less a rant on the discussion as to whether Bruce Lee was a real fighter or not.  It was originally going to be a review on the latest Bruce Lee Real Fight Channel's videos, but it turned into a different discussion.

- EPISODE NOTES

I’m excited to have Bruce Lee YouTuber Stripey Rambles on the KFG Podcast.  Stripey has an excellent channel for fans of Bruce Lee, in particular the films and pop culture aspects. This interview is Stripey’s first YouTube interview, and I’m very proud of that!  We had a fun discussion about all things related to Bruce Lee fandom, including the debunking of Brucebait YouTubers like “He Who Shall Remain Nameless”... 

Enjoy the episode (and don’t forget to give Stripey a follow: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIql8JGsWBMrbakU8W8RISQ

This is the third episode which discusses the final months of Bruce Lee’s life.  Episode one covered Jan-April, episode two covered May, and this episode has a heavy focus on the month on June to July, although not entirely to the end of Bruce's life.  That will be handled in the fourth and final episode.

Enjoy the episode.

This episode was originally planned to be a debate between JKD Rebel Dwight Woods (Inosanto student) and Sifu Richard Torres (Ted Wong student).  The debate was planned to be a discussion about "JKD concepts" vs "Original JKD" with myself as the moderator.  At the last moment, Sifu Torres respectfully bowed out and the result was this awesome discussion between Dwight and I.  I learned quite a bit about the Inosanto side of the argument (as interpreted by Dwight).  I found this a fascinating conversation, I hope you enjoy it as well.

Follow Dwight on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/c/thejeetkunedodialogues

Enjoy the episode.
