Episode 17

-How's this?

Let's put this here.

Hey, Bruce...

The training equipment is almost
fully assembled.

We can accept students tomorrow.

Thanks a lot Blair.

Uncle Chao. Kimura. Blair.

Take a look.

I revised the logo of our Kung Fu School.

Can you guess the hidden meaning?

The meaning is in those 2 lines.

"The style of no style.
No limits as your limit."

That's the philosophy of Bruce's
martial arts philososphy.

Bruce, your understanding of Kung Fu
is at a philosophical level.

That makes it even more precious.

Can you explain the meaning of those
2 lines to us?

Sure.

Laozi said that in the order of the universe...

from nothing to something...

and something creates everything.

Nothing is Taoism.

Taoism creates something by itself.

Laozi use Taoism to describe
the natural order of the universe.

Another Philosopher named Socrates said...

that we should forget about
all the rules we know.

to remove doubt, so that we can...

cultivate the fragrant flowers
of ideology.

That's terrific Bruce.

You managed to merge
martial arts with philosophy.

Amazing.

Okay, all set.

-Uncle Chao, after you.
-Okay.

I' really like Chinese Kung Fu.

and I've been looking for a school
that would teach me Chinese Kung Fu.

And now, I've finally found it.
It's great.

Oh, this way please.

Hi.

-Hi there.
-What's your name?

-Jim.
-Okay.

You can get your uniform.

Oh, wait please.

Why all I see are guys?

Guy, guy, guy.

Oh, finally, we have a girl.

This is so great.

Reminds me of me when I started out.

-What's your name?
-I'm Liz.

What a nice name you have.
We'll be charging 30 dollars a month.

-I'll start tomorrow.
-Okay.

Master Bruce Lee is really handsome.
I admire him so much.

Master.
I'm here.

It's you, Yellow Brat.

Master, I can't stay in Hong Kong anymore.

Where's Wang Lichao?

He's dead.

How did he die?

He got sick and died.

It's not too much of a loss.

You studied in Taiwan for 3 years.
You must have improved your skills.

Master, you know what?
I didn't learn just one style.

Didn't learn a style?

I'm a bit curious. Come and show me
what you've learned.

-But, I'd just be humilated.
-Come on, show me already.

Then, I'll do my best.

Good.

I have my doubts...

if martial arts toutines and fixed movents
are really important or not.

I've had many matches in my life.

I've used many different teachniques
from different martial arts.

For example, Yong Chun Quan, Hong Quan...

Karate and boxing.

What I did was combine them all.

Except it was hard to tell...

what style the technique originated from.

What I did in essence is...
cancel all the movements.

took away all the restrictions.

So your heart and soul...

and mind can express themselves
in their own way.

So remember, use the easiest,
most straightforward attack possible.

In our long history of martial arts...

any martial artist of any school
believed that only he knew the truth...

and try to defeat all other styles,
to prove he's the best.

But I have a different view.

The essence of Chinese Kung Fu
is neither false nor forceful.

"No stlye" being a style...

Being limitless is our only limitation.

going with the flow.

These thoughts...

are brought about by my experience
from actual combat.

They make up the essence
of our Kung Fu:

to adopt the essence of all other styles.

Come, come...

After you, Master.

I heard you went to America.

And became President of the
Chinese Martial Arts Association.

So I decided to follow you.

That's in the past now.

I don't want to talk about it.

You and Wang Lichao brought me so much
trouble in Hong Kong.

What could I do?
I had to leave Hong Kong.

Am I right?

It's all Bruce Lee's fault.

It's all in the past now.

Let's not talk about it.

So tell me,
what do you intend to do now?

Me?

I want to be the best in the world!

I'll fight anyone who challenges me.

I'll find Bruce Lee.

And get revenge.

It's a small world indeed.

After Bruce Lee came to America,
his Kung Fu improved a lot.

In the newspaper...

it says an unknown Chinese man
named Bruce Lee...

defeated the three time champion Hoffman.

He's famous in California now.

He doesn't even respect the President of
Chinese Kung Fu Association.

He started a Kung Fu school in Oakland...

without even letting me know.

He has no regard
for the martial arts code.

He put up a school in your area?

He disrespected you?

How could he do that?

Maybe I'm old fashioned.

Bruce Lee probably thinks...
he's somebody now...

Now is my chance...

One.

Two.

Three.

Okay, from the top.

One, two, three.

One, two, three.

One, two, three.

One.

Two.

Again.

Stop.

Okay. Hold it.

Not firm enough.

Like this.

Hit me, come on.

Again.

-Got that?
-Yeah.

Okay. One more.

What Bruce Lee did violated
the Chinese martial arts code.

No wonder, we received so many
complaints from other masters.

For so many years...

Every Chinese who's put up Kung Fu
school in America complied.

We all made an agreement
that we won't teach foreigners!

And for decades, no one has dared
to break that rule.

But Bruce Lee used his win at
California Karate competition...

to recruit students.

In his school, most of the students
are black and white people.

Ah~ And also Filipinos and Japanese.

So everyone expect Master Wang
to put a stop to this madness.

Stop Bruce Lee from teaching.

Otherwise the martial arts code...

will be destoryed by him.

All the years I've been in US...

I've never met a young man as rude
or arrogant as him.

He has no respect for us.

Master Wang...

You're the President of the Chinese
Martial Arts Association in California,

Has he approached you?

Bruce Lee is still very young.

And because of that, he doesn't realize
that doing certain things have consequences.

It's not surprising.

Master Wang. I think you
shouldn't be so easy on him.

That boy needs a lesson.

I wouldn't worry about him.

The only way to deal with him...

is to speak with your fists!

Oh~ You know him as well?

Not only do I know him,
I have a score to settle with him.

To be honest with you. That's why
I'm here. I want to fight Bruce Lee.

Yellow Brat, America is not like
Hong Kong or Taiwan.

Don't do anything that'll get you
in trouble.

Bruce Lee beat the Karate champion
of California,

that means his Kung Fu
is pretty good.

So you better be 100% sure
you can beat him.

If you lose, you'll lose face.

Don't worry.

These past years, I've been training in Taiwan,
I trained for one reason: to one day defeat him.

He uses Yong Chun Quan.

I'm ready for that.
I can counter every attack he makes.

Except... I think...

He's afraid of me!

And if you beat him...
then what?

I'll follow the martial arts code.

He must make an announcement
in the papers.

Tell everyone...

He lost to our Wang style.

And he'll close his Kung Fu school.

Master...

What do you think?

I don't know.

Let me remind you, not to be rash.

Let me make the arrangements,
so the match is sanctioned by the community.

and duly recognized.

Fine.

I'll follow your arrangements.

Master Ma, send him an invitation.
Tell him it's from me.

Invite him for tea.

Watch your strength.

One.

Two.

Three.

One.

Two.

Three.

How can I help you, mister?

I suppose, you're Mr. Bruce Lee?

That's right.
What can I do for you?

Does the President of the California
Martial Arts Association...

Wang Yun Sheng,
sound familiar to you?

I've heard of him.
What's the matter?

I'm his chief aide.

He'd like to invite you over for tea,
and hopes that you'll accept his invitation.

Yes. Please tell him I'm thankful.

I'll be there.

This way please.

-It's an honor to have you here Mr. Lee.
-I'm deeply honored, Master.

This way please.

Bruce, thank you for accepting
my invitation.

Bruce, I'm so glad that you beat Hoffman.

You did something the Chinese
could be proud of.

Please sit.

I'm proud to have someone as brilliant
as you in the Chinese community.

Bruce, there's an old saying...

A tree standing outside the woods,
is taken down by the wind.

What you've done has made a lot
of others very jealous.

Master, what have you been hearing
from others?

Ah, they asked me to come here to
help out some friends.

I manage the Chinese Kung Fu
Association in California.

Right now, I want to confirm
something with you.

Are what these letters claim true?

You know what it says?

That you put up a sign when you
ran a Kung Fu school in Seattle.

Yes, all of it is true.

There's one more thing....

Another matter that I have to confirm.

You mean the fact that
I teach foreigners as well?

Yes. I've heard that most of
your students are foreigners.

Honestly sir. In my school,
about 80% are foreigners.

And that is the problem.

Bruce, you're not the first
to open a Kung Fu school in America.

But no one is doing it like you.

For the longest time,
we've abide an unspoken rule.

That we only teach Chinese.

I'm hoping that you'll admit
your fault and stop it.

I want you to dismiss your
non-Chinese students.

That way, people will stop complaining.

Master...

These rules, they are but a hindrance
to the development of martial arts.

If we truly want Kung Fu to evolve,
those rules have to be broken.

Mr. Lee, have you thought of the consequences
of non-Chinese learning our secrets?

Isn't Karate form Japan?

The Japanese brought Karate here
and taught everyone.

There are Karate clubs all over America.

Over here, there are national
and international Karate competitions.

If the Japanese kept to theselves,

would Karate be so popular here?

That's enough, Mr. Lee.

I can't get through to you.

I tried to go about this the nice way.
But it seems wasted on you.

I see. It seems Master Wang
had an alternate motive for this gathering.

I speak on behalf of the Chinese Martial
Arts Association...

that you must follow the code.

I really hope that arrogant brat...

can see the error of his ways
and stop before it's too late.

So that we won't disturb the peace.

Besides, we're all Chinese.

I demeaned myself by meeting him.

Only to find out that it was pointless.

This Bruce Lee not only refused to listen to me.

He also said it would be better
if the rules were abolished.

We cannot tolerate this any longer.

We've been abiding by those rules for so long.

Not to teach foreigners Kung Fu.

How can we allow him to break all the rules?

That's why I invited you all.

To discuss how to deal with this.

How do you propose we handle the problem?

I know how.

We'll just send him a notice.

Telling him...

What he's doing is a mockery
of the martial arts code.

Tell him that he should either
stop teaching foreigners...

or close down his school.

Master Huang, Master Ma...

I've already donw that. He was so arrogant,
he still wouldn't comply.

Then we should band together
and destroy his Kung Fu school.

We can't.

We'll get in trouble with the law.

Even if the police don't find out.
We still can't do things that way.

Then, what do you suggest?

I have an idea, we won't get in trouble,
and we'll make him abide by our rules.

Kick higher, higher.

Master.

What's this? You've come to bring
another invitation?

No. On behalf of California Martial Arts Association...

I'm delivering this letter of challenge.

Hm?

A challenge?

Yes.

What happens if I accept this challenge?

What if I refuse the challenge?
What then?

If you accept, naturally there's a winner
and a loser.

The loser should obey everything
that the winner commands.

If you choose not to accept the challenge.

You have to abide unconditionally
to all the rules set forth by the Association.

You must follow the rules.

They're giving you 2 choices.

You must either stop teaching
non-Chinese students,

or close down your school.

Looks like I don't have a choice.

No.

I just gave you two.

Alright.
I'll accept the challenge.

Bruce Lee...
this time I'll have my revenge.

Bruce...

This is a big decision. Why didn't you
talk to me before you accepted the challenge?

Linda, please calm down.

I have no choice.

You could just ignore them if you want to.

If they cause trouble...

you can report it to the police.

Linda, I didn't have a choice.

Besides, I don't want American police
to get involved in this.

It would just make me look weak.

But still, you're only human.

How can you be so sure
that you'd win every time?

What if the opponent is stronger than you?

Have you ever thought of what would
happen then?

Linda, you know me,
the outcome isn't important to me.

Bruce, please listen to me.

Things are different now.

You can't just think about yourself.
You also have to think about our unborn child.

Do you understand?

Linda.

Could you please listen to me?

I'm familiar with these Chinese Masters.

I may not have seen
or fought with a lot of them.

but I've heard of them.

Last few days, I've been analyzing
most of the possible opponents.

You know what? Their level of fighting...

Let's just say they are at the same level as me.

If Bruce was to fight with them,
there's 90% chance of winning.

It's just, I'm scared
something bad may happen.

I know what you mean.

What if a new fighter shows up?
Am I right?

But honestly, I don't think there's anyone
who can beat Bruce in a fair fight.

Well, at least I think so.

In wrose case scenario...

Let's say such a fighter does come along.

Then, there's only one way,
to be sure nothing goes wrong.

And that's for you Bruce to let me
tell you what to do.

In order to win. I'm not sure,
if you're willing to listen to me.

What's the idea?

During your match,
you listen to my instructions.

That way, even if you might lose the match,
you still avoid getting serious injury.

Uncle Chao, I don't understand
what you mean.

According to the rules of the match...

As long as one side says he gives up,

the other man has to stop attacking him.

I know Bruce very well.

He's not the kind who'll give up easily.

So the time to stop,
or rather if it's still okay to fight.

I think it should be my call.

Bruce, would you trust me?

You would never have to step in.

I know that.

Just in case, if I see you losing in the match...

the opponent is attcking
and there's no way you can escape.

I'll throw a white towel on the floor.

Once you see that towel,
that is a signal for you to stop.

Why are you suggesting this?

Because it's important.

We're all Chinese, right? Huh?

Isn't that what this fight is all aobut?
An internal struggle in the Chinese community?

When it comes to injuring people, you or
another person should avoid as much as possible.

Bruce.

Bruce, I think this is a good idea.
You should follow it.

Bruce, please.

It's the safest choice.

Alright, alright. I'll do it your way.

But I'm confident you'll never
have to throw in that towel.

I really hope so.

-Everyone ready?
-Yeah, yeah.

Alright! Get it ready.

This way please.

This way.

This way.

Gentlemen, this way.

This way.

Over here.

Please take your seat.

Over here. Come on.

Alright, this way.

Over here.

-Master Wang, Master Huang, Master Ma.
-Mr. Lee.

Bruce Lee!

Heh. Yellow Brat. So it's you.

Surprised, aren't you?

Indeed a surprise.

Bruce Lee...

I don't care how many Ameicans
or Japanese you've defeated.

Because today...

You're going to lose to me!

-You're like a shadow.
-Right.

I'm your shadow.

I'll always be following you,
so you'll never be rid of me.

Actually, we had some unfinished business
years ago.

And today, we're going to settle this
once and for all...

with all these witnesses.

I'll show everybody how you
failed to defeat Bruce Lee. Hm?

What are they doing?

You'll understand it soon.

I'm just worried, I think these two
fought each other before.

Linda...

Take it easy.
I have every confindence in Bruce.

Come on.

Master Wang,
what were they talking about?

They were catching up.

They know each other?

They know each other VERY well.

What are you waiting for?

Attack me.

Remember this, Bruce?

How about up there?

First to fall loses.

Sure!

Uncle Chao, why did they go up there?

They're trying to outdo each other.

They don't want to fight the normal way.

Looks like Bruce is dealing with an old foe.

A rival that's hard to beat.

Usually, in a fight they can see each other.
But that's not the case here.

Once they're blindfolded,
it's a toally different story.

By listening carefully,
they can tell where the other is.

For example, when they walk,
or when they breathe...

or even just the way the other smells.

even with the sound their clothes make.

all of this will help them figure out
how far they are from each other.

And if they are true masters...

they'll even sense each other's position
with the fine hair on their body.

They'll wait for one chance
to strike at the other.

This kind of fighting,
can't be done by ordinary fighters.

I'll check on Linda.

Linda, why are you here?

Oh Kimura.

My baby, I think it wants to come out.

I have to tell Bruce.

No, don't tell him.

He's still fighting.

The fight must be stopped.

I have to tell him!

Kimura, don't.

Uncle Chao...

Linda's in labor.
What do we do?

Go tell Master Wang.

Master, Bruce's wife is about to give birth.
Please stop the match.

Stop!

What for?

Bruce, Linda's giving birth!
Take her to the hospital!

Alright! Bruce Lee, congratulations!

However, I'll only give you 15 days.

-In 15 days, we finish this here.
-Sure.

Linda, please hold on.
You're going to be fine.

I'll be a father soon.
Isn't that wonderful?

It'll be okay.

-Can we go in?
-No, sir. Please wait here.

Oh, alright.

Bruce, you can't go in.

Come, sit down.

Bruce, don't worry.
She's gonna be okay.

Hey, honey!

Hi, dear.

-How is he?
-Take a look.

-Ohhh, what a handsome little boy!
-Do you like this little guy?

Of course, of course I like him.

Let me have a look at him.

Careful.

What a cute and beautiful little boy.

So can you say "papa"?

Wow, you're such a cute little boy.

He's 75% you, the rest is me.

That's good. You know your mother...
she'll adore him.

-I've decided his Chinese name.
-What is it?

Guo Hao.

Guo Hao.

I like it.

What does it mean?

It means, he'll bring pride to the Chinese.

Have you thought of a good
English name for him?

Hm. I've thought of one.

I picked... Brandon Lee.

Brandon Lee.

Brandon Lee.

Hello, Brandon Lee.

-Here, let your mom hold you.
-Okay.

I'm sure your grandmother will be
so excited to see you.

As soon as Daddy defeats that Yellow Brat,
we'll take you to see grandma.
