This movie is not about Kung Fu like you know it through the movies and T.V.. This is partially the story of how a country can turn its back on its own traditions and its own citizens, as China did during the Cultural Revolution, and yet the traditions find a way to live on, and even flourish, through the lives of the same people that were outlawed. It is also the story of the spirit that drives people to overcome adversity, despair, and dis-advantaged circumstances, the spirit that produces perseverance, dedication,and determination.Pui Chan is not just a Master of Kung Fu, but a living symbol of the deeper meaning of Kung Fu. Pui Chan's life shows how a continual belief in hard work and intrinsic self-value can produce a life lived like Art, in this case also a life in the Martial Arts.

This is truly an inspiring movie. Pui Chan risked his life to come to the United States, yet never lost sight of his roots. His life story is amazing. He combined cleverness with his martial arts training to survive many overwhelming moments. You will chuckle at some of them, but be moved to tears at others. This is a well conceived and executed film, set in the many scenes of Grandmaster Chan's life. I respected the man before seeing this movie, but love him more now. He makes Kung Fu look effortless, and is in incredible shape. I have seen him do in person what was done in the movie, and there is no trick photography! He really is THAT GOOD! His Kung Fu precision will amaze those knowledgeable in martial arts. His reverence for his homeland will touch those who hold traditions dear. His sense of humor will have you laughing. Really...a must-see indie film!
