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.

In this episode I dive into one of my favorite books about Bruce Lee - Letters of the Dragon in which John Little published a large part of Bruce's written letters to friends, colleagues, students, and martial artists.  The book is a fantastic insight into the real Bruce Lee and here I read a small selection of them and discuss their contents with Dre. 

Enjoy, The KFG

This episode is the rare departure for the AMA format as I discuss a series of issues that have been on my plate lately.  I relate some ridiculous “tough guy” stories told to me (with no shame!) from some “famous Sifu”.  Enjoy!

This episode answers questions submitted by my followers on Instagram.  The main focus are the rules of conduct that are in the Ving Tsun Athletic Association in Hong Kong, supposedly endorsed by the late Grandmaster Yip Man.  The rest of the episode is a nice mixed bag of questions.
