I preferred martial arts.

Dad, at school, what

did you specialize in?

Sanda (Chinese Kickboxing).

Why don't you teach sanda?

I want to choose sanda.

I didn't think it through

when I made my choice.

My classmates told me it was

not right, as I had a bad temper.

I didn't listen.

Once, in anger, I broke the

rules and hurt an opponent badly.

The headmaster wanted to expel me.

What happened?

Two classmates stood outside

his room for a whole day.

Begging him to forgive me.

When I returned, I changed to wushu.

Those two must have

been really good friends.

One of them was your mom.

How's the fire going?

We can't get it going.

And you? What are you

thinking of choosing?

I don't know the difference yet.

Sanda is like... lighting a

match, there must be friction.

And very quickly there is fire.

As for wushu, it's

more like stoking a fire.

You can't rush it, you must

have patience and give it space.

Next, to perform for us are

three students already chosen

for the provincial team tryouts.

Yang Yauwu.

Li Yi.

Li Er.

Fong Fong.

Zhang Deming.

Jin Wu Men!

When they first arrived they

were picked out to be punished.

Now, they've been picked

to represent the school.

Next to perform

- Fong Fong, Li Yi, Yang Yauwu.

Master.

Don't call me master here.

You were great just now!

You guys did well too.

Except the somersault

could have been higher

Got it? Yes, got it.

Okay, go now.

The next performer is Yuen Chung,

performing broad sword.

He's good!

Forward somersault followed by

back somersault, that's tough.

Yi has a rival on his hands.

The next performer is...

Le Er.

Han Wen

Have you ever fought Li Er?

We're not in the same class.

But have you ever fought him?

Don't be afraid... don't be afraid...

He's scared of you.

Why? I scared him

How?

I told him not to be afraid of you!

The next performance is sanda.

Excellent! Good!

He's my junior.

Next up is Zhang Deming.

Thomas

This is only a performance.

You don't need to be so fast.

I know you all care about me.

The next time I see him,

I'd know exactly how to win.

He only has one tactic...

He's fast!

Don't worry.

Who's Zhang Deming?

Don't forget your duel tonight.

Yes, I remember.

What duel?

A beauty, she said...

...if i fight down her

she would go on a date with me.

Kui, look who's here!

Mister Li.

Kuo Nan!

Mister Li.

It's been six years since we last met!

I came back to visit you

and, of course, my old school.

Good! You can see how my sons are doing,

whether they are up to your standards.

Yi and Er, come here.

Say hello to your senior, Kuo Nan.

These are my sons Brother Nan.

He's the only student chosen for the

provincial team for 3 consecutive years.
