Grand master Hung I Hsiang (1925-93)
These 5 parts, shows the full serie: Tai Chi "The Soft Way"
These recordings are from the, BBC Documentary series (1983): The Way Of The Warrior!

BBC docu "Way of the Warrior"
The series was originally broadcast by the BBC in the early 1980's and was comprised of 8 episodes which featured top Masters of each system. Each part lasts approx 35-40 minutes so the total content is approx 5½ hours long. It is not intended as a training tutorial. It is a documentary going into the rich historical background, philosophy, methods and practices of each system. Each part has numerous footage of demonstrations, explanations and practical applications. Whichever martial art system you may be studying this is a very absorbing and inspiring series.

The series is comprised of:

1 Shorinji Kempo 'The New Way'

2 Kalari 'The Indian Way'

3 Aikido and Kendo 'The Sporting Way'

4 T'ai Chi 'The Soft Way' - also included Hsing Yi and Ba Gua

5 Eskrima 'The Philippino Way'

6 Karate 'The Way of the Empty Hand'

7 Kung Fu 'The Hard Way'

8 The Samurai Way

  • JOBEBOBE, I have ...

    JOBEBOBE, I have seen this interview many times and there are helpful truths contained in it, but is important to realize that Bruce was not the forefront of martial arts in his day, he was simply the most famous. Many many masters twice his age were much more skilled and insightful, especially internal artists

  • In a way they ...

    In a way they already did, with the series: Mind, body and kick ass moves...
    But you where probably reffering to the exact same arts, as in the old series: The way of the warrior. :-)
    Yeah that would be pretty nice, to see wheter or not, they have been able to "preserve" their arts in their "original" form, or how much they may have changed, over the last 25 years...

  • The Japanese style ...

    The Japanese style Gi is worn because Hong Yixiang and many Taiwanese at the time had studied a lot of Japanese arts prior to learning the IMA's. Plus Japan occupied Taiwan a period of time and outlawed Chinese Martial Arts. This, at least, is what I have been told.

  • Thanks for posting ...

    Thanks for posting this finally! I find it interesting how they had karate like gi's, and black belts. Did they do it, because at the time the common thought of Westerners was that high-rank= black belt, and karate stereotype applied to other martial arts.
