Bolo Yeung?

[SatyagrahaKF]

Recently watched Enter the Dragon, and the movie Bloodsport. I noticed that a large Chinese man by the name of Yang Sze or maybe Bolo Yeung was in these movies. The man was huge and I was just wondering if anyone here knows if he is a good martial artist or just an actor? Thanks.

Hi...From what I read.. he was a southeast Asia shotokan karate champion in the early 70.s And now He's dedicated to the art of Tai Chi Chuan. I saw him doing Tai chi in a movie called Shootfighter or something.

I also read Bolo was a professional Body builder before before studing MA.

If you google his name, you'll find an abundance of information.

Bolo has alot of films, and i mean a lot! i only have a few;

Breathing fire, fist of fury, legend of the 8 samerai, streetfighter, fist of fury; touch of death, Young tiger 2, the Tatoo Connection, Blood fight, and Fearless hyena, i think i have more but can't think of the off hand. it's just good to see him. lol

but he's great in movies, i really enjoy them. even if he's not doing much but building to the 'tough' atmosphere.

bolo is not his real name btw. people just call him that because of the movie "Bolo"

i haven't seen it yet, still looking for it on dvd.

from what i can remember, he pratices Tai Chi, and something else. it may very well be shotokan.

there is tons of stuff on him on line, just look it up eh.

I have that movie on DVD...Not a great movie...Bole seems to always to play the bad guy.

Yeah, his real name is Yang Sze, I just like calling him Bolo! I think having a body of that size could possibly hinder your flexibility and ability to be an effective martial artist. But his strenght probably makes up for that.

not really. you have to be seriously huge for that to happen. The size / flexibility thing is a myth.
