0:00 They're like have their knees on the floor and he's pressing them down and then he has his fingers in their ████ ████ lips. >> Yeah, >> it's hardcore. >> They're like, "Let me stretch it." >> He was He was a gross guy. >> They're like, "I got to pop your thing." >> Is that on your algo? >> You guys got to share this stuff with me, bro. It's stuff that I can't even believe is true. >> Welcome back to another episode of [clears throat] Careful Boys. >> Oh ████ that was good. >> Yeah. You ever do kung fu before? [laughter] >> What' you say to me? What' you call me? You call me a dog. >> Joah had a really fun question. He asked if um MMA has ruined the magic of Chinese kung fu. I >> think a little bit. Really? >> You think so? You think it affects it directly like that? >> Well, maybe not in like Asia. >> Salah. ████ him. >> No, not in Asia, but like the American
0:51 like >> You have to do this while we talk. Forms forms while you speak. Please >> put your hand over right here. Put your hand right here with the other hand. That's how comfort works. has to work in a specific move. >> You're telling me this don't work? [laughter] >> He was about to drop the tea kettle. Bam. >> Yeah, I don't think I can handle it. >> Did you block his ch flow? >> I think for western audiences, [laughter] >> but for for for people in Asia and China like No, >> it hasn't even affected. >> But I feel like in western Yeah. >> But then are less people wanting to take kung fu lessons in like globally? >> I think generally. Well, >> ain't nobody want to take kung fu lessons. Maybe in Monterey Park, I feel like Yeah, maybe it might be down a little bit. But >> you think it's down? >> Yeah. And like >> dojoos are down for >> I can't Well, it's like you don't really see a lot of taekwond do gyms anymore. Like maybe for little kids. Kung fu studios you don't really see that often.
1:41 >> Oh, kung fu is the least out of karate and taekwondo. >> Yeah, I think so. Like I see way more people doing ko and like iikido than I do like >> Oh, man. >> like kung like traditional kung fu, you know? Like I feel like in like the West Coast at least from what I'm seeing it's probably a little bit down. >> I used to see a lot of kung fu studios like in the in the '9s. I don't see them anymore. >> I think people when they sign up to kung fu schools they are accepting they're putting their kids or themselves they're going to like a parkour or tricking school. >> Yeah. >> I think that's the mindset that they're in. I don't line dancing. >> Yeah. I don't think they're going oh this is self-defense. And I think MMA um uh has shattered the self-defense part of it, but I don't think it has ruined the cinematic part of it. I think a kung fu movie, a well-made kung fu movie,
2:31 like >> even the modern ones, right, like or Raid or whatever, if they're done good, they're it's amazing. It's still like a art form. Or even John Wick, like which is like gung fu, right? He's able to like punch and shoot and throw hooks with ████ pistols. I think when a a well-made martial arts movie, that's just its own art form. But it's not self-defense. >> Nice jiu-jitsu in John Wick, too. >> 100%. >> In the early 90s, Bruce Lee had all Japanese kids not wanting to be Japanese >> cuz they were the villains. And then so like I remember my cousin was like, "Oh, I got to go to karate." And then he's begging his dad, he wants to do kung fu. And then like he's like, "I don't want to do karate." And then I'm like, "Why I want to do karate?" And he's like, "Cuz it's like ha ha." IT'S NOT LIKE, YOU KNOW, LIKE IT'S not flowy. >> You know what's funny? I was the opposite. I'm like, I'm ████ tired of
3:22 this flowery ████ I'm like, can you put me in karate with ████ like hard lines? My s███'s like >> all this ████ like dancing ████ >> You and Lethal. >> Yeah. I'm like, dude, I don't want to be doing that flowery ass circle ████ >> When I was doing karate, >> you have to have that. [laughter] >> When I was doing karate as a kid, I was like that. I was like, I want to do ████ Gundo, bro. I don't want to you know what I mean because you know I was so Bruce Lee motivated like everything I did was like Bruce Lee Bruce Lee Bruce Lee so you just want to do what he does you know >> but I feel like like in the western like in in uh like LA area or like just in movies in general I feel like you don't really see kung fu like it used to be in movies like now it's kind of going more towards like the John Wick stuff >> a little cheesier now right
4:12 >> yeah or like the crouching tiger hidden dragon ████ or like that movie Hero. Remember that movie? Cuz I remember that movie did well in the West like like people were watching it was in theaters. I think it won like some awards too. >> It was almost more like Chinese opera. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Or like action, right? >> But but I feel like that already is kind of like a dying breed. You don't really see that as much anymore. >> You don't hear that. >> Whatever that instrument, what's it called? >> You got two strings, but you can make a million notes. >> The Chinese violin. [laughter] What I miss about the like mystery of martial arts is it seemed like a secret weapon >> cuz like when you see movies in the in the west, right? You'll be like like a soul brother and then all of a sudden it's like he knows the art and he's doing kicks and ████ busting out a nunchuk and ████ and he has an afro >> tight >> and then you're like, "Oh, >> he knows a secret that like was forbidden and it was still like a
5:02 mystical >> gave him the edge." >> Yeah. And then like when you watch the films, you're just like, "Wait, ████ are kicking." >> That's crazy. You want to be like Bruce Lee? >> I wanted to be more like Jet Lee and Jackie Chan. >> Wow. >> Cuz you're a comedian. >> What the ████ dude? >> Wanted to have Jet Le's comedy. >> You always wanted to be like, I don't want the fighting. AND THEN YOU'RE LIKE, >> YOU LIKE Jet Le's comedy delivery? I think cuz uh when I was in kindergarten, they always played the in the school like Yeah. >> In the school they played that. >> Well, I don't I think it was when we're leaving or something. >> Oh, that's your bell. That's your >> That was on the school ████ speaker. That's gangster. >> What school did you go to? >> I actually I don't know. I I may be like
5:52 elementary. [laughter] >> Golden Harvest Elementary. Dude, that'd be insane. >> Maybe not. Maybe I lied. >> It's [laughter] just in your mind. My dad used to tell me when when Bruce Lee was big in like the 70s, he goes the main people watching those movies were all like Chinese dudes and black dudes. Like black dudes love kung fu. >> Dude, that brought the cultures together. >> That's what I mean is like that kind of used the amount of like black dudes that were super into like traditional martial arts was huge. We used to train this one dude. He was like a ████ He was like 300 lb. He would come in the gym. He was jacked bodybuilder. But he's like, "Yeah, man. I started watching kung fu movies, bro." And like his forms were tight, you know what I mean? Like he could he could do all that stuff because he was super into it. And he as you know, as an adult, you're like, "Bro, this is kind of crazy how how many black dudes are super into like kung fu like that or just martial arts."
6:42 >> Ah, dude. >> Bow staff fighting, nunchucks skills, tricsectional staff. [laughter] >> So, how did you model yourself after Jackie Chan and Jetley? with the Jackie Chin. Um, I just really I really did like his comedy like Jackie Ch and then the drunken one. The Jackie Chen drunken one. >> That was your favorite one out of all of them? Drunken Master. >> Uh, no, I loved all of his ones and I'll watch it over and over. >> Um, yeah. [laughter] >> Cool. >> What? What you What was the question? >> No, that's it. >> Oh, yeah. I I >> But do you think like now like people actually know what works that they watch this and they go that's fake? >> Yeah, I think it's practicality and art like I think because it's the MMA is so practical people go oh and for sure it declined. Yeah, that's what it >> Well, it' probably be hard to isn't is
7:33 it harder to make an MMA based movie like that because so much of if you're doing it right would lead to a very quicker defeat. Well, that's what I think the John Wick stuff like I think the John Wick films changed how action is being shot. >> Oh yeah. >> Like the 97 8711 dudes like they changed it cuz >> Yeah, they did. Yeah. >> They have a legit black belt that teaches them. His name is Dave Camaro and he he trained like all the best dudes like BJ Penn like legit MMA guys. He's like a black belt in judo, black belt in jiu-jitsu. He's like one of the first guys. >> So he's and that's why when you watch John Wick, he's doing like he's doing jiu-jitsu, he's doing judo, >> all the reversals that >> Yeah, man. and like he's doing all this flashy stuff and I feel like for the audiences now I think they're a little bit more educated on like you said what works. So that's what I think people kind of draw attention to like that's what they start they want to see on screen >> and I also think that um before maybe
8:23 meditation because you know um Tai Chi it was kind of a meditation and kung fu could be a part of a meditation also. So the the mindset of like oh do am I beating people up or is this meditation before there is less choices but now there's like yoga there's like you know ████ meditation. >> Wait what's that >> cuz that's another thing it's on pornhub. They don't want to beat people up anymore. >> Can you Can you explain the art of that? >> I think it's more sub things now. >> Oh, more subcategories for >> subcategory for everything. >> The basic meditation thing. Okay. >> So then they're like, "Oh, it's not just kung fu or not just yoga or whatever. You could like do your own niche thing." >> Brim. >> Yeah. Brim. Yeah. Yeah. Yoga [laughter] >> or or like uh Yeah. >> Look out. He knows Brim. Did you see that picture of him with the girls like they're like have their knees on the
9:13 floor and he's pressing them down and then he has his fingers in their ████ ████ lips. >> Yeah, >> it's hardcore. >> They're like, "Let me stretch it." >> He's like pushing them down like that. >> He was He was a gross guy. >> They're like, "I got to pop your thing. Is that on your algo?" >> You guys got to share this stuff with me, bro. It's stuff that I can't even believe is true. >> Like, is there going to be another How do you make another Jackie Chan, though? >> It's one of a kind, bro. We haven't gotten anything like it. >> Well, think about like how Jackie Chan like why he's so popular, like why he became the man is cuz like that style of shooting in Hong Kong was like so gorilla, right? Like you talked about, we were talking about this yesterday >> and you were saying like how they could just run through these guys and they could just make them do these crazy stunts and if they get hurt it's like >> they just wanted a meal for the day. >> Yeah. And I feel like you can't do that and like >> Yeah. Not not in America. Yeah. >> The closest we come is with Marshall
10:04 Club. >> Yeah. Those honestly they're the ones >> because they're brothers. They're ████ down. They don't give a ████ and they are obsessed with the craft. So um what was his character in um Shane Chi Death Deal? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Like he like he Andy ████ stands out in that movie like crazy. >> He's the best martial artist on screen for sure when he does his stuff. like both of them. Like whenever I see their fight scenes, I'm like they're the only ones that could actually bring that to American audiences >> cuz you need someone with that type of obsession cuz like and that type of training cuz Jackie Chan was like training like that since he's like five. >> And a lot of these guys now they take movie stars and then give them action training >> and you're not going to get the same result if they had like a three-month camp >> versus some someone that's like a lifelong martial artist, you know. And they they did that TV show on Netflix that was doing really well for a while,
10:55 I think. Um the one that Marshall Club was in and Yoshi was in. I forgot the name of it. >> The one that freaking Subin was in. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And it got cancelled. But like to me that was the closest thing. >> Bad lands. >> No, not Badlands. >> Oh man. It was like Brother something. >> Brother Son. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Brother Son. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> And I think that was like a throwback to the old school like Hong Kong style movies. And the way they shot it was really cool. I thought the action scenes looked really good. I think it did it justice in like the American audience, but it just never caught on. I guess >> we're looking forward to like multiple seasons of that. >> Yeah, cuz it would have been great. Like it was it was like a fun show and it kind of reminded me of all the old Jackie Chan flicks we used to watch growing up. >> Yeah. >> I think there's a void for that. But >> the Marshall Club like the indie movies that they're making, I think they just did like a >> fill that entire like genre. Yeah. >> I think they're the like uh what was the other one? Um with Michelle Yo,
11:46 everything every All at once. That was a good movie. >> Like that was a throwback to that ████ too. >> Yeah. It's like the the not totally serious kung fu movie. >> Yeah. >> Like I want that back. >> That was like perfect for modern I think uh modern audiences. >> That's what I'm missing. It's too violent, man. >> I want to see a ████ fight in a tea shop and [snorts] dance around chairs and ████ I don't want to see blood spill. >> You want to see chamomile spill. >> Yeah. I want to see you guys I want to see a guy get beat up with like 30 teapotss. You know what I mean? He beats up a group of guys. That stuff was creative. What Jackie Chan did like fighting people with his jacket or like >> who's going to pull that who could who has the chops to pull that off with like like one take >> to be creative with that stuff too. >> And who has enough commandeering force in their own film to not get ruined by other producers? >> You know what I mean? Like I feel like Jackie Chan had that where they had the formula where it's like there's not
12:36 going to be some studio coming in going, "No, too many bottles. Too many bottles." >> Yeah. Yeah. >> I don't like that. I don't like I don't get the bottle thing. [laughter] WHY IS HE SCARED OF HIM? You know, like there's not that happening. I feel like they're getting their true vision now and then we need that again. >> Yeah, it's hard to get in America for sure. >> I feel I don't want to say like uh cynical about it, [laughter] but I feel like Yeah, it's probably going to take cuz you know the whole film industry is also down too, right? >> Fun. >> Once funding is is the thing that comes in, then you have to give up control and that's the part that's like a man your vision. >> Yeah. you know, is doing a good job and it's like another version of it is um what's that Korean actor? He's like like pretty like built. >> Oh, the guy from the Madong Madong. >> I don't know. But he's like a >> He was the one sparring with a Pereira, right? That guy. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like he's like a
13:26 pretty built Korean dude. >> Madong Yong. >> I don't think that's his name. I think I think Jason Ch is just making that up. Pulling out of his ass like he usually does. >> That guy. That guy. That guy. That guy. [laughter] >> That's the guy you're thinking of? >> Yeah. Yeah, that guy. >> I know this guy. >> Madong. So, so he has a series um so his background is boxing. >> He has he has he has a series. >> He's freaking awesome. >> Yeah. He has a series where he's this detective and he's kind of like the rough around the edges type of detective. Bends the rules and he comes in like a what the ████ going on? Like that kind of detective and everyone's wearing suits and stuff. He's just wearing like a windbreaker. Uh, and it's like there's three of them, but and his background is boxing. And the way they shoot it, it makes it seem like every time he hits someone, their spine is breaking, [laughter] >> like Mortal Kombat about, right? >> So, it's pretty ████ dope. Uh, because you can tell they're taking kind of like that Hong Kong cinematic approach to his martial arts. And it's
14:18 the kind where like the plot and the action works well together. And it's really, really good, too. Yeah. If you guys ever want to see I what I think is probably the newest version of Hong Kong cinema. I think they're kind of carrying it >> like is less movement than but more impact. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But his cinematic >> but his movement is good though. His boxing movement like his hooks and uppercuts are really good. >> And it's believable that like when he punches you that guy flew over a car. [laughter] >> I love this guy. >> You see him sparring with like the world champion Alex Pereira and he's like kind of doing okay, you know? It's pretty sick. I rub your neck.
