Your favourite MA master(s)/legend(s)

The ones you found very impressive artists,veterans with incredible skills,got any favourites among others?

Mine must be Morihei Ueshiba.
Why? I guess it´s because of his unusual charisma and spirituality,not to mention his “tricks” that did,as someone said,seemed to question the science.

You have any?

The Bad Guy from T2

Anyone that can instantly turn his hands into iron hook things while chasing done a car is definitely worthy of legendary status… :cool:

well, taht is a tough question. What should I look for to pick the definitive MA hero?

I guess I will pick the great legend of Yagyu Jubei. I dont think I really need to explain it, he is a legend afterall.

Thanks.

My fav master of old is Chen Fake.

There is also a story of a xing yi master who wound up going to jail and trained with a ball and chain for some period of time. Anyone recall his name?

Guo Yun Shen, perhaps?

For the USA, one that is most notorious and legendary has to be Count Dante. I can’t say I especially admire him, but I always kind of chuckle…

favorite masters

O’sensei Ueshiba Morehei
sifu Eric Nessen/Dr. John Ng(even though i havent met him)
Master Joe Shaefer.
Tri Thong Dang: author of the books(the ultimate goal of the martial arts,and martial artist what shall you become).

Thanks fellows.

Who’s Yagyu jubei… ive heard the name but i never had info on him please enlighten me :smiley:

I would have to say Musashi. his aproach was “marginal” and his sword skills were… legendary? :wink:

In todays era im kinda fond of Jackie chan i love the way he moves :smiley:

Peace!

I would have to say grand master pan

some of the stuff he has done is on his website but there is more

My late Sigung, Grandmaster Chee Kim Thong.

Bruce Lee and Rickson Gracie.

Thanks.
When it comes to film stars,I would pick Sammo.

Wong Fei Hung
Chang San Fang (founder of Taiji)

Today…this Mother and Daughter duo that do Sun style (saw them last year at Nationals in San Diego) I can’t remember their names. Also during the tourney, there was an older gentleman that did a traditional sword form that blew everyone away, and the younger man who translated for him, did a bagua double deer antler dagger form that blew everyone away.

you dont know Yagyu Jubei?! He is helluva cool like Miyamoto Musashi…

here is a quick link for the Yagyu Challenged…

word

I would definatly pich He Jin Bao. He is intense. Look him up. I think he could tear jet li apart…

Morehei Ueshiba and Yip Man

Not a “master”

But someone who embodies a martial virtue, certainly: that Sliwa guy who founded the Guardian Angels. I have to say I respect that.
