Hong Kong's martial arts action movies are well-known, and many martial arts superstars have become popular. Such as: Bruce Lee, Sammo Hung , Jackie Chan, etc. But in the 70s of the last century, there was also an action actor who was often compared with Bruce Lee by the outside world, and he left dozens of classic action movies in the film industry, that is, the 77-year-old Huang Jiada.
Huang Jiada has a good relationship with Bruce Lee. There have been reports that Huang Jiada and Bruce Lee fought against each other. But later Huang Jiada also clarified that there was no such thing.
Huang Jiada said that he and Bruce Lee's brother Li Zhenhui were childhood friends, so he also took this opportunity to meet Bruce Lee, who also loves martial arts, but Bruce Lee and him are 10 years old, and Bruce Lee has begun to emerge in the film industry, Huang Jiada regards Bruce Lee as an idol. It is impossible to be qualified to compete with Bruce Lee.
Although he did not insist on going on in the entertainment industry, Huang Jiada also shines in the industry he is good at with his love for martial arts. Born in Macau, Wong Ka Tat learned martial arts at the age of 7 and was proficient in Shaolin martial arts, karate, Muay Thai, Baguazhang, karate, aikido and other martial arts, and opened a martial arts gym in Hong Kong before the age of 20.
At a time when the Hong Kong film industry is booming, Wong Ka Tat is also fortunate to join as a martial arts actor. In the 1970s, Huang Jiada participated in the kung fu film directed by Guo Nanhong, and "The Eighteen Bronze Men of Shaolin Temple" is one of his masterpieces.
As for the actor in the movie "Aikido" in 1972, Sammo Hung played the second male lead, and there are many actors who will become superstars in the play, such as Jackie Chan, Yuen Wah and Leung Xiaolong.
Until 1981, Huang Jiada withdrew from the Hong Kong film industry. Went to the United States to open a martial arts gym. Today, the "International Integrated Boxing Federation" founded by Huang Jiada has opened branches in 28 countries and regions, with more than 200,000 disciples and grandchildren. It can be said that the world is full of peach and plum.
During the development of martial arts in the United States, he had the opportunity to participate in filming in Hollywood. He also won the Southern California Film Association Best Actor Award for "The Demon Havoc in Little China", and served as Stallone's action director in "First Blood 3", taught him martial arts, and acted opposite Stallone, making Wong Ka Tat more famous. Even Stallone had to call him "Master".
His superb martial arts attainments are not only contributed to the front of the court, but also privately promoted to various related martial arts industries. Huang Jiada, who has won the World Free Fighting Championships, has been employed as a military and police martial arts coach in more than 10 countries and regions such as Hong Kong, Macao, the United States, and South Korea.
Even the Hong Kong Flying Tigers were trained by professional martial arts instructors with his help. To be honest, if it weren't for the underdeveloped media network in the early years, with Huang Jiada's contributions, he should be able to be called "the light of the Chinese" and "a generation of grandmasters".
A few days ago, Huang Jiada rarely returned to Hong Kong and had a party with Wang Manling, a veteran media person. It can be seen from the pictures shared by Wang Manling on social platforms that although Huang Jiada is in his 70s, he is still radiant, upright, and not a little old.
Because of his long-term martial arts practice, Huang Jiada's figure has been maintained very well, and he can't tell that he is over 70 years old, and he is still majestic and dignified, maintaining a majestic image.
Old friends who haven't seen each other for many years rarely get together, and Wang Manling was excited between the lines. She wrote: "I actually saw Master Huang Jiada, who quit filming in 81 and went to the United States to promote Chinese martial arts culture. He has many apprentices all over the world, and has become a generation of martial arts masters. After 43 years of meeting, we still have a good deed!"
When old friends meet, they must be very cordial. Promoting Chinese martial arts is the mission of everyone who practices martial arts. Master Huang Jiada has set a good example for future generations by teaching by word and deed, and is really worthy of our respect.
