Bolo Yeung

In addition, he became interested in acrobatics and weight lifting. Contrary to popular belief, Bolo was not a champion in Shotokan Karate and never this kind of martial arts is not engaged.

Many of my colleagues prefer to put on the screen sweeping punches and kicks that look beautiful and love is too sophisticated audience. I prefer a more subtle movements, although not essential technology demonstration, and a personality that demonstrates this technique. On the screen, I try not to pass the form and the content, not the external aspects of the martial arts, and internal demonstrates not so much a technique as a spirit. Man, just mastered technique, can cause a hundred beautiful kicks and sophisticated audience will remain untouched. True master enough to do one subtle but full of energy and spirit of the movement to the same audience knew who before him.
