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.

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”...

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.

The Kung Fu Genius
Dubbed the "Kung Fu Genius" by his peers, Sifu Alex Richter is one of the most high-profile Wing Tsun (wing chun) instructors teaching in North America today. Alex has been studying martial arts since the age of eight, and by the age of fifteen he already earned a black belt in Taekwondo. During his late teen years he began training in wing chun, grappling, and other kung fu systems. By age twenty, Alex started training in Sifu Leung Ting's brand of Wing Chun know as Wing Tsun (WT). This art would become his life's passion.
Although Sifu Alex considers himself a Kung Fu Nerd, he is a huge fan of mixed martial arts, BJJ, and boxing. This gives him a unique perspective among his Chinese martial arts peers. Sifu Alex Richter is based out of New York City.
