By reading through the posts I noticed one thing that always comes up again. Kung Fu guy had reasonable kicks and lousy arm techniques. That is indisputable. Now my question is: What sense does that make? What could be the reason for an instructor to focus training only on the legs and balance? I analyzed that further.

My theory is that KFG is probably a person with a professional dancing education. Maybe even ballet-dancer. KFG was polite, soft-spoken, educated, religious and some people mentioned his clothing looks very "hip" for that town in 1984. He is not necessarily from that town but from a bigger city.

No doubt he was interested in Kung Fu and many, many posters with expertise in martial arts said that his style looks like in a movie. Lets assume he was doing his aerobics in front of a tv with Kung Fu movies over and over again, during his development to a dancer.

...enough to get him flexible as he was able to execute some nice looking high kicks without even stretching first. But he was definitely an amateur...

Dsimon3387:
The guy could not block. He literally grabs hands to stop the blows and the blows were not that hard to deal with. Now his actual hand movements are the issue that people disagree about. Some people say it is gung fu, wing chun... whatever.

Dsimon3387:
...the key points are that his foot fighting was trained. I say this because to throw a balanced double kick off of one leg without putting it down is relatively difficult and for this even to occur takes some training.

War Wheel:
...you will also see flowery, dramatic hand movements mixed in with reasonable technique.

yukoku:
...red belt man was not awful, but his kicks to me seemed like those of a guy who has mostly done point fighting. Nonetheless Dennis fell down.
...and for a guy who couldn't block, RBM(KFG) sure managed to effectively avoid being hurt for a long while.

Kumamoto:
KFG was quite good in long range evasion fighting despite ineffective kicks. The mainstay of Hopgar - Crane is deflection and angling, it becomes spontaneous to all movements, and he did that quite well in rotating and evading for that part of the "fight" (that I don't think he realized he was in). He deflected more than blocked the kick before he toppled Dennis just like Hop Gar would.

War Wheel:
...great deal of the large sweeping movements he makes to be improvised nonsense or "LARPing".

I was referring specifically to his "large sweeping" hand movements.

Dsimon3387:
The fact of the matter to me is that blocking is pretty basic to begin with and if you cannot block...

Kumamoto:
The awful thing is that I don't think he tried to actually hurt Dennis.
His punching was all based on Swing-Momentum punching. Until he got cornered he threw many right hand hooking "Sow Chuies".

yukoku:
...i don't think RBM(KFG) is skilled... but he's not much worse than his opponent and certainly had more commitment and spirit than Dennis even before RBM started to get scared...


My point is, if we want to identify Kung Fu guy, we should consider the possibility that he had a professional dancing or ballet training. In the video he shows in my opinion a body stance like a ballet-dancer. (i.e. as he shows Dennis how to stand for the demonstration.)

Blythe and his group of retarded redneck thugs may even have considered John Travolta a little "gay" in their eye's and would have ambushed and assaulted him in the same way.

KFG had maybe a little mental issue(autistic,asperger or whatever) but that are exactly the type of persons that learn Kung Fu from television.

1. He said he had no real martial arts instructor.
2. He wanted only perform Kata.
3. He said "I am not going to touch you" during the demonstration.
4. He had definitely no sparring experience.
5. He said "I am not a fighter" (only performer I guess)
6. He was there to demonstrate spiritual movements

Actually it may very well be that the Black Belt senior karate instructor Willie Dennis nearly lost a fight, that he started himself with an ambush like surprise attack kick in the groin. Against Forrest Gump, an unsuspecting ballet-dancer who learned Kung Fu from Bruce Lee videos while doing his aerobics. How pathetic.

I am not from the USA and I have no idea if that small town had a dancing academy in 1984 or where to start searching for such thing as musical or similar in that area. Sorry
