The actors turn kungfu masters from learning their techniques and applying it to others so that the tradition and style doesn’t die and thought that was very cool. The Afro Asian connections that the guys learned and talked about in this documentary was so surprising because how one of the guys saying that the black guy was mainly the bad guy in the films and I’m like that sounds right those days, but then after that they have a super hero. A leading role for an African American in a Martial Arts movie and that was great to me. I want to see the Black Dragon now that I know this. I like that these guys were so truthful about their lives and some of these things I wasn’t aware of at all. I was in China some years ago and wasn’t looked at differently. I felt as I was one of the people. I was always judged differently while growing up because I was two races, but attending a predominantly one race. I was the odd one in the group because of my skin and in China was the complete opposite and I was like wow and that one of these guys felt the same way in Hong Kong as did I. I really appreciate that all of them were encouraging and supportive to reach their goals and really enjoyed that I got to experience the Black Kungfu Experience. Great documentary and hope that all of them are still teaching. Keep up the good work.
