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.

This is my first live episode in a while, and I’m excited to be back at it! Here I tackle one of our Patreon supporter’s questions about what attributes make one excel in Wing Chun. This brings me to what I call the “optimization problem”, something that social media has exacerbated for the masses in fitness and martial arts. I also take superchats from the live audience.
Enjoy the episode.

I’m very excited to finally speak to Chinese history professor, Dr. Peter Lorge. Dr. Lorge wrote what I consider to be the best book about Chinese martial arts called Chinese Martial Arts: From Antiquity to the Twenty First Century. Here we discuss the problems with labels like internal and external and the general issues regarding historicity in Chinese martial arts. I had such a great time, I hope you learn something!
Enjoy the episode.

On a very special episode of The Kung Fu Genius Podcast… I will discuss Bruce’s tumultuous final months from January -July 1973. This is part one of what may be a two or three parter on Bruce’s final months. This episode was created to give context to fans who want to know what was going on during Bruce’s “most famous” yet most difficult period of his life personally.
Enjoy the episode.
