Going Kung Fu Christian! (Part 1 of 3)

Good morning friends. I know many of you love to watch movies. Love story, comedy, horror, action and many more. I have read one story and maybe you might get shock in it. Here it goes …

Well here’s a shocker… a classic movie from the 80’s being remade! And among all the classics from that era, Karate Kid is in the upper echelon with the best.

In case you missed it, Ralph Macchio plays a kid named Daniel who moves to California because his mom got a job “in computers” (which sounded amazingly cool back then). He messes with pretty much the last people you should even look crooked at: Johnny uber-bully and his gang of Cobra Kai thugs, and generally gets karate owned for the first part of the movie. Enter the martial arts master maintenance man, heavy duty training, and one of the greatest ending scenes put on film – because “he’s the best… around!!!”

Now take that recipe, move it to China – and HAI YA!!! Kung Fu Karati Kid!

Maybe it’s just guys, but I think most people would love to download a martial arts app into their brain and instantly be able to fly around with kicks and punches like a spider monkey overdosing on Red Bull – right?

But that’s not the way it works. Any level of martial arts ability is only achieved through incredible amounts of discipline, hard work, pain, and patience.

In fact, that’s what the phrase ‘kung fu’ means!! It basically translates as “accomplishment arrived at by great effort.” Originally ‘kung fu’ was any area you excelled in because of your hard work and training. So you could be a kung fu cook, kung fu artist, or kung fu panda, I suppose. - Beacon

See you on my second part ….
