KUNGFU STORY: starring my brothers
VICTOR RUSSEL AS SENSEI SHITU
IZ RUSSEL AS SENSEI SHAMALA
Yes ooooh, welcome to the masculine world of few words and more punches courtesy of our Wung Pei Yung’s and Jackie Chan’s all over the world...(grinning) I saw a Naija kunfu movie once, LORT HAVE MERCY, I don’t even want to go there today.
YOU KILL MY MAMA YOU KILL MY PAPA
I TASTE MY BLOOD...HMMM
See, there is such mystery behind these Kunfu movies, it amazes me, I know a lot of people especially the ladies may not agree with me and yes, this is not a battle of the sexes but since I got the pen today listen to my Kunfu story and let me make a believer out of you... (As in, this is exciting...Let’s go there)
SHADOW KICK STYLE
CHIDORI (TOO MUCH NARUTO...LMAO)
This tale transcends from Michigan in the United States to China (I know everything is always America; well ‘no be me’ write the original script; I am just giving you the gist). The life of this black kid suddenly is thrust into an unfamiliar world when his mother moves to China to take up another job and start over like most single mothers trying to cope, she is burdened with the pressure of surviving and China offered her an opportunity which she accepted and so her son had no choice but to go with her.
This boy is in a country were he can’t even speak the language; he completely hates his new life, and like most boys his age he gets into trouble just on the first day (yep it was of course about a girl...another ‘tori’ for another day). Unfortunately for this boy whom by the way was acted by Will Smiths son (Jaden Smith): Ooops, let the cat out of the bag; well for those of you may have watched this movie just play along with me the ‘yans’ will soon make sense.
JADEN SMITH
The boy’s life however would change dramatically when he meets this old man whom at the beginning was just a mere repair man to him until this old repair man saved him from getting thoroughly beaten up (in Waffy translation it means that ‘dey be wan arrange the boy’..lol). The old man (Jackie Chan) took the boy under his wing in a bid to help the boy learn Kunfu and then participate in a Kunfu competition were he would prove himself before his foes that he wasn’t afraid of them. Well guess what; like joke, like play for weeks this boys training was a simple routine: remove your jacket, pick it up, hang it, remove it and drop it again; the poor boy did this every time he ‘trained’ with his new master. Of course the boy got tired and screaming angrily he told the old Chinese man that he had learnt all he had to learn from doing the routine; you see he assumed that he was only being taught to be respectful to his mother since he had the bad habit of throwing his jacket on the floor when he came home, a feat which infuriated his mother a lot.
HMMMMM...YOU ARE GOOD
This is were it gets interesting; the old man like a typical master orders him saying ‘Hmmm come here’ and the boy reluctantly obeys and from those supposedly stupid actions of dropping the jacket, hanging it and picking it up the Chinese old man brought out the moves of kunfu; you see all this while the boy’s body was constantly making Kunfu structured moves but the jacket blinded him from seeing that there was more, you see: he wasn’t only learning etiquette skills he was also acquiring some serious Kunfu skills. So when the boy was attacked he’s reflexes were immediate and it was then that his eyes were opened.
Hey, just like this tale I am not doing a movie review, instead my ‘yans’ is more; I am curious and want you to see that those words scribbled on the pages of Gods word is more, much more than letters, that the rising sun is much more than science and indeed that journey from intercourse to the conception of a child is much more than a 9month fairytale.
That Chinese master philosophy was in these simple words to his young protégée:
Kungfu lives in everything we do...it lives in how we put on a jacket; how we take off a jacket, it lives in how we treat people...everything is Kungfu.
Check my version out (as in people would be quoting moi in a few yews...lol)
God is in everything we do...He’s in our going out (putting on the jacket) and He’s in our coming in (taking off the jacket); He is LOVE ...GOD is our EVERYTHING.
So you think you really know it all...think again baby.
SENSEI...
