John Duffy's Personal Ramblings - Kung Fu Fighting

Here is some old grainy footage from the Alan Lee Kung Fu Wu Su school where I studied Kung Fu when I was 15 years old. It was and is on 28th St on the west side of Manhattan in an old factory building. I studied for close to 2 years in the late 60's and became a junior instructor until while sparing with two other instructors I got kicked on my wrist. It took over a year for the injury to heal and that was the end of my Kung Fu studies.

it was one of the defining experiences of my life. I was exposed to Chinese traditional philosophy and people with high standards of ethics and conduct.It was very positive experience that helped shape me and planted seeds for a lifetime.
