The Martial Arts Reporter - ArticlesLet’s just blame it all on Bruce Lee!
What Bruce Lee put on display in “Enter The Dragon” was the main reason The Martial Arts Reporter got hooked on martial arts in the first place … way back in the mid 70’s. Since the only style that appealed to him and offered in his home town at the time was traditional Japanese Shotokan Karate, it just seemed logical for him to dive right into it. Studying under accomplished trainers like Andre Dillar and Daniele Chiumento (currently 5th Dan) and training diligently, he gradually rose through the ranks at a local karate club to become an instructor, respected by students and peers. Training and teaching during the week and attending seminars and competing at tournaments on the weekends truly became more than just a hobby. Martial arts became his passion! Quenching his thirst to learn more about other martial arts styles The Martial Arts Reporter also attended classes in Judo and Aikido to add to his martial arts “toolbox”. Several years of Western boxing training complemented his workout regimen. Years later, he dared once again to step outside of his comfort zone to experience Wing Chun, Jun Fan and Jeet Kune Do under the guidance of world-renowned martial arts instructor and one of the finest Wing Chun teachers in the U.S., Sifu Francis Fong. Later he studied Muay Thai and MMA under the tutelage of Richard Trammel and Pedro Villalobos. After years of martial arts training and extensive travelling to 4 continents and more than 40 countries, The Martial Arts Reporter continues to absorb and share related topics with his fellow martial artists through the creation of this Weblog. We hope you become a regular and tell others about TheMartialArtsReporter.com. Jet Li, From Humble Beginnings To Action/Martial Arts Movie SuperstarAmong all the remarkable action/martial arts movie stars over the last 20 years or so, several of them truly stand out such as Jackie Chan, Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Chuck Norris, probably Jean-Claude Van Damme. Abu Dhabi And Martial Arts?Sheik Tahnoon Bin Zayed Al Nayan, who happens to be one the sons of the former President of the UAE, Sheik Zayed, has been the driving force in introducing martial arts to his home country. My Interview With Jackie ChanThere is hardly a corner left in the world that hasn’t heard of Jackie Chan, the martial artist, actor, action choreographer, filmmaker, comedian, producer, screenwriter, philanthropist, entrepreneur, singer and stunt performer.
In his movies, he consistently sets the bar higher for his acrobatic fighting style, comic timing, use of improvised weapons and innovative stunts. Introducing Wing Chun - Chinese Self-Defense, Developed By A Woman, Even Practiced by Martial Arts Legend Bruce LeeWing Chun, translated into English, means 'Eternal Spring or Beautiful Springtime' and refers to the name of Yim Wing Chun, who received Chinese boxing training from a Buddhist nun. After having read about some other famous Wing Chun practitioners such as Ip Man, Bruce Lee, Ip Chun, Leung Ting, Emin Boztepe, I just had to give it my best shot. Coming from a Shotokan karate training background I will admit that studying Wing Chun was a real change of pace,
if you know what I mean.
