Miss him so much, Jet Li's a real legend and childhood hero. One of my favorite movies growing up was "THE ONE"

[@lancetruong3075]

Jet Li is describing the Drunk style, while Conan is dodging bullets from the Matrix 😂

[@cheng-tsohsieh9990]

My kung fu teacher told me the same thing. After you win, just pretend you are hurt as well to give your opponent face. "The point of martial arts is to make friends," he would always say. "When the other person realizes they can't defeat you, they'll want to become your friend based on the respect they now have for you."

Man, this was like 18yrs ago, how crazy time flies!

[@lifetransformed6673]
