What is Bruce Lee's combat ability?
Jackie Chan, Jet Li who can play more?
Zou Zhaolong said that Zhen Zidan was not his opponent?
The Internet is full of such discussions about the practical abilities of Hong Kong kung fu stars.
Everyone likes to compare famous kung fu stars and list all kinds of rumors, all trying to prove that their favorite stars are "more able to fight".
But this kind of discussion often ends in red-faced, and in the end, no one obeys the other, ending in mutual insults.
Are there any kung fu masters among Hong Kong kung fu stars? The answer, of course, is yes.
But what is "able to fight", Pige believes that there should be a threshold, that is, to pass the ring or play a game as a prerequisite. If this threshold is relatively vague, it must also be hired by a government military as a coach, or a world-recognized master.
According to this standard, we can filter through the famous kung fu stars in the mainland and Hong Kong film circles and find out the real combat masters.
First of all, jet Li, Zhen Zidan, Wang Qun, Wang Jue, Yu Hai, Yu Chenghui, Ji Chunhua, Hu Jianqiang, these martial arts team athletes are not masters?
In fact, Jet Li has long said: "Martial arts routines are flower racks." "The policy for the martial arts routine program after the founding of the People's Republic of China is a sport aimed at enhancing physical fitness.
Therefore, action actors like Jet Li, Zhao Changjun, and Wen Wenqing, who came from martial arts teams, are not related to real combat masters.
Speaking of those martial arts in Hong Kong, there are many masters of traditional martial arts who have entered the film circle since the 1960s, and Hong Kong people are accustomed to calling them martial arts or dragon and tiger martial artists.
These include Liu Jialiang, a descendant of the Hong family's boxing lineage, Zhao Zhiling, a master of Hongquan, and Wong Kin Lung, the head of The Macao Kung Fu Sect.
These people have been practicing kung fu for many years, of course, they are much stronger than ordinary people, and if they fight on the street, they can definitely fight against the crowd.
However, most of these martial arts characters have never been in the ring, and the usual training methods and training processes are completely different from the fighting training methods, so it cannot be said that they can fight in real combat.
As for Hong Jinbao, Jackie Chan, Yuan Biao, Yuan Hua, Yuan Kui, Yuan Bin, Yuan Heping, who studied under Zhan Yuan, and Lin Zhengying, Dong Wei, Hui Tianci, Luo Jiaying, Zun Long, Zhong Fa, Meng Hai, etc., who studied under Fan Chrysanthemum, they were all Peking Opera Wudan actors, and the gap between them and the actual combat masters was even greater.
According to Pigo's understanding of the Hong Kong film circle, the 10 listed below are the real combat masters and strength factions.
We do not make a serious comparison of the actual combat ability between them, so the ranking is not in order, and we will take a look at who is specific.
1. Billy Chow
No matter what the ranking can not be less Than Billy Chow, he is recognized by Hong Kong as the strongest Canadian boxing champion in the ring, nicknamed "Tiger", a career record of 43 wins and 8 losses, 31 KO games, and has never been KO.
Billy Chow's accolades include winning the Canadian Lightweight Free Fighting Championship in 1982 and the World Light MiddleWeight Free Fighting Championship in 1985.
Hong Jinbao met Billy Chow when he went to the United States to shoot "The Bride of the Port" in 1988, and because he saw his strength, he invited him to play a role in the film and also had a confrontation with Hong Jinbao.
After that, Billy Chow went to the Hong Kong film industry to develop, and has cooperated with almost all famous action movie stars such as Hong Jinbao, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Donnie Yen, Wu Jing and so on.
Billy Chow, now 63, still lives in Canada, teaches boxing and occasionally makes cameo appearances in films like 2018's "Golden Brothers."
Zhou Billy, who has 23,000 followers on a domestic social platform, used to update frequently and post some videos of teaching boxing, but it has been a long time since he released a New Year's eve update on January 2 this year.
2. Deewe
Born in Pingtung County, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan's De Wei was a three-time champion of the West Coast Fighting Competition.
After enlisting in the army, he received the rank of colonel in the army, and was the chief instructor of karate, taekwondo and national art in the Navy and Army, and also specialized in swordsmanship, knife and stick skills.
In 1970, Shaw's director Zhang Che saw his strong strength, invited him to participate in Dillon's "Revenge", and also gave him the stage name "Slaying dragon".
However, Dillon felt that this stage name was a bit contradictory to his own stage name "Dillon", so he persuaded him to change his stage name to "Di Wei", and Di Wei became a disciple under Zhang Che's name.
After Shaw's suspension of production in 1985, Di Wei joined Hong Jinbao's Hongjia class, and also cooperated with stars such as Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and Yuan Biao, witnessing the glory of an era of Hong Kong cinema.
In recent years, Deway has been in a semi-retired state and will also appear in some online movies, the most recent appearance was on April 14, from the online video, although he is 69 years old, he is still very strong.
3. Lu Huiguang
Hong Jinbao excavates Billy Chow, and Jackie Chan discovers Lu Huiguang, but Lu Huiguang first started his job as Jackie Chan's bodyguard.
Born in Laos in 1959, Lo Wai Kwong was favored by Jackie Chan for winning seven consecutive Muay Thai championships in Hong Kong and became Jackie Chan's bodyguard.
Later, Lu Huiguang began to be interested in participating in the performance, so he joined the family class and played a supporting role in many movies.
In 1994, when Jackie Chan filmed "Drunken Fist II", he promoted Lu Huiguang to play the main villain in the film, which is Lu Huiguang's highest performance so far, making him familiar to the audience since then.
In 2009, Lin Fengjiao took over Jackie Chan Pictures, and Lu Huiguang was sent away with less than 100,000 Hong Kong dollars in severance pay because she did not want to follow Jackie Chan north to Beijing to seek development, causing an uproar in the entertainment industry.
Later, Jackie Chan's side took the initiative to find Lu Huiguang to make up for his mistakes, and the matter quickly calmed down.
After that, Lu Huiguang still participated in jackie chan's multiple movies, but he now also left Jackie Chan to develop alone.
This year's director Chen Musheng's posthumous work "Anger and Serious Case", which will be released this year, has the participation of Lu Huiguang, and Pi Ge is also very much looking forward to this movie.
4. Liang Xiaolong
Liang Xiaolong was originally from Zhongshan, Guangdong Province, from a poor family, and at the age of 15, he followed his uncle Liang Xiaosong of the Shao clan to learn the Northern Leg Method, and also learned karate from the Black Belt Pass of Karate.
He has participated in three Hong Kong-wide fighting competitions, winning two first prizes and one runner-up.
Legend has it that he was able to win in the stairwell of the Ping An Mansion in Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon, and more than 10 thugs with sharp weapons, which shows its strength.
In 1972, Liang Xiaolong was favored by Wu Siyuan and entered the show business circle, and was later familiar to mainland audiences for playing Chen Zhen in "The Great Hero Huo Yuanjia".
In the late 1980s, Liang Xiaolong was banned from Taiwan for visiting the mainland and retired for more than 10 years, until he starred in the TV series "Chen Zhen's Later Biography" in the mainland in 2001 and participated in Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu", which ushered in the second spring of his career.
Now That Liang Xiaolong is 73 years old, he still has no plans to retire.
His current focus of work is network movies, classic playing roles similar to the fire cloud evil god, he also participated in many TV series, last year also participated in Zhao Wenzhuo's TV series "The Great Hero Huo Yuanjia", this year's TV series "Legend of the Grand Hotel" also has his participation, but the reputation of the drama is only average.
5. Huang Jiada
Huang Jiada's international influence is somewhat similar to Zhao Zhiling's, but he is definitely practical and heavyweight.
Wong Ka Tat became famous in boxing in 1972 as a Thai free-form boxer who won the World Muay Thai Championships Gold Belt in 1984 and was also the Head Coach of the Royal Hong Kong Police Karate Association, the Head Coach of the New York State Police Headquarters and the Marine Corps Martial Arts Head Coach.
Huang Jiada specializes in Shaolin, Muay Thai, Karate, Aikido and other types of boxing, and is the black belt eight dan of the all-Japan Hard Karate League and the black belt eight dan of the Korean Boxing Association, and Sylvester Stallone and Wei Feng, the president of the International Boxing Federation, have worshiped under him.
Wong Ka Tat, who debuted in the movie "Aikido" in 1972, has cooperated with action stars such as Mao Ying, Hong Jinbao, and Huang Renshi.
Now he is 74 years old and has not appeared in movies again, but he is still very strong.
In February this year, singer Liu Wei met him in Shenzhen and took a photo with him, and you can see that Huang Jiada in the photo is still radiant.
6. Chen Huimin
Born in Tsuen Wan, New Territories, Chan Wai Man has been learning martial arts since childhood, proficient in Western boxing and Tan Jia San Zhan Boxing, and because of his kung fu skills, he was hired by the 14K gangster Yin Guoju to enter the club with a high salary of 2 million yuan as the head of the club.
In 1972, Chan Wai Man represented Hong Kong in the Southeast Asian Boxing Championships and won the championship, and entered the film circle in the same year, participating in "Blood Love" directed by Ho Fan.
In 1983, Chen Huimin won the championship in just 35 seconds to knock down Japanese boxer Morizaki, and has since become a household name in Hong Kong, known as "Chen Huimin in fist and Bruce Lee in legs".
When she was young, Chen Huimin starred in mostly action movies, and also participated in TV series, such as playing Huang Yaoshi in Jiayi TV's "Legend of the Eagle Hero".
After entering the 90s, Chen Huimin often played the role of big brother in the jianghu, most of whom were villains, but also positive characters with jianghu righteousness, such as the camel of the "Ancient Puzzle Boy" series.
Now he is doing business in the mainland, and he also makes cameo appearances in some movies, and he is often seen in online videos.
7. Bruce Lee
After talking about Chen Huimin, then it was Bruce Lee's turn.
The biggest disagreement over Bruce Lee is the issue of actual combat capability.
Rose Ofs Namayunas, who recently defeated Zhang Weili in the UFC ring, claimed to be a Bruce Lee fan, much to the delight of mainland dragon fans.
Now some people have a misconception about Bruce Lee, thinking that he has never had a ring record in his life, which is actually wrong.
While studying at St Fong Chay College in Tai Kok Tsui, Kowloon, Bruce Lee competed in the Hong Kong Intercollegiate Western Boxing Tournament and won the championship on 29 March 1958 against The King George V School's triple-title Englishman Gary Erms.
Of course, you may say that this kind of boxing match between students does not contain enough gold, but after Bruce Lee arrived in the United States, he became the coach of Mike Stone, Joe Lewis and Chuck Norris with his unique insight into martial arts and martial arts, and met Li Junjiu, the "father of American taekwondo".
Even Chen Huimin, who has "seen the world", said: "People who dare to fight Bruce Lee are fools." "Bruce Lee was able to become a symbol of Oriental culture, and even martial artists such as Connor McGregor, Manny Pacquiao, and Anderson Silva regarded him as an idol, which shows that his strength is beyond doubt.
Bruce Lee's greatest achievement was to combine martial arts and philosophical ideas to create an ideological system of boxing and mixed martial arts, and UFC President Bai Dana regarded him as the father of MMA.
As Chinese, we should have a respectful attitude to understand and know Bruce Lee, and find something worth learning about him, rather than using a provocative eye to denigrate him.
8. Lee Joon-joo
Lee Jun-joo is a taekwondo black belt nine-dan master, who has won many taekwondo competitions in the United States, is regarded as the father of American taekwondo, and is famous for teaching taekwondo and self-defense to U.S. congressmen.
Lee Jun-joo met Bruce Lee at the 1964 Long Causeway Karate Competition, and both attended the competition as guest performers.
Bruce Lee was 24 years old and Lee Jun-kyu was 29 years old, and the two quickly became friends, often exchanging martial arts experience together, and Bruce Lee also learned a lot of taekwondo leg techniques from Lee Jun-jiu.
Bruce Lee's films do not feature Lee Jun-joo, but he came to Hong Kong in 1973 and collaborated with Hong Kam-po, Wong Ka Tat and Mao Ying on Taekwondo Shakes Kyushu, the only film in his life.
Li Junjiu is obsessed with the spread of martial arts and has little interest in becoming a movie star.
He founded the World Wushu Education Association in the United States, and every September he holds a national youth martial arts competition to cultivate martial arts talents.
Now that he is 86 years old, he can still play beautiful legs, which shows how deep his foundation is.
9. Chuck Norris
At the 1967 National Karate Competition, Chuck Norris narrowly beat Joe Lewis by half a point, and then in order to keep his position, he took the initiative to ask Bruce Lee to teach him.
The relationship between the two was also a mentor and a friend, and he learned a lot of techniques from each other, and in 1972 he participated in Bruce Lee's "Raptors Across the River", and became famous in the world film industry.
After returning to the United States, Chuck Norris starred in many films, such as "Lone Wolf", "Delta Force" series, "Vietnam Veterans" series these are his masterpieces.
In 2005, Chuck Norris starred in the soap opera Texas Rangers, which ran for 9 seasons over an 8-year period.
Chuck Norris became an Internet celebrity for his exaggerated performances in the Texas Rangers, and someone wrote an article called "100 Most Widely Known Facts about Chuck Norris" to spoof him in all directions.
He himself is also willing to become the object of jokes among netizens, and has also commented on these nonsensical small paragraphs on the show.
10. Binney Euquidez
Finally, I would like to mention another American master, Binnie Euquadez,
He is the original world heavyweight king of the WKA, nicknamed "Jet", and has a career fighting record of 63 wins and 0 losses, 57 KO.
In 1984, Hong Jinbao, Jackie Chan and Yuan Biao went to Spain to shoot "Fast Food Truck", and they invited Binney to join and have a wonderful confrontation with Jackie Chan in the film.
Although Binney's height is only 161cm, which is 9cm shorter than Jackie Chan, his body shape is much stronger than Jackie Chan, and his fighting level can easily kill Jackie Chan.
According to Hong Jinbao's description in an interview, in the middle of the filming, Binney once visited a boxing gym in Spain, and as a result, he did not meet an opponent in the whole street, which proved that his strength was too strong.
Later, in 1988, Binney participated in "The Flying Dragon" and became Jackie Chan's opponent again in the film.
Since then, Binney has been developing in Hollywood, and in 2015, he collaborated with Jackie Chan on "The Heavenly General", which was his last film appearance.
Binney is 2 years older than Jackie Chan and is now 69 years old and has been living in the United States.
These are the strongest kung fu masters who have appeared in Hong Kong movies in the 20th century, among which Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris, Leung Xiaolong, Wong Ka Tat, Chow Billy and others have greater achievements, while people like Lee Jun-joo and Binnie Euquaidz are actually playing soy sauce.
After 2000, there were also two god-level characters in Hong Kong movies.
One is UFC "Spider-Man" Anderson Silva, who participated in Chen Guo's bad film "Kowloon Undefeated" in 2019;
The other is the familiar Mike Tyson, who cooperated with Zhen Zidan in "Ip Man 3", and can see that the gap between the two is the gap.
Well, this is the top ten practical masters in the Hong Kong film industry, do you remember which practical masters there are? Feel free to leave a message to tell Pigo.
