Rare Unseen Image Shows Bruce Lee Leaving Grandmaster Stunned With His Side-Kick


Bruce Lee met several talented practitioners in his journey to becoming the greatest martial artist ever. He picked something unique from each of them and included it in his fighting style. Taekwondo grandmaster Jhoon Rhee was one such personality from whom Lee learned powerful side kicks. Recently, the internet came across an unseen image of the two legends where Lee was seen executing a sidekick on the grandmaster.
Jhoon Rhee first met Bruce Lee in 1964 at an international karate event in Long Beach, California. Both of them were impressed by each other’s combatting styles, which grew into a spontaneous friendship between them. The duo began discussing several aspects of martial arts. Rhee also taught some effective Taekwondo moves to Lee. On April 24, Bruce Lee’s memoir page on Instagram shared a rare image of Jhoon Rhee and Bruce Lee indulging in a showdown.

The Bruce Lee-Jhoon Rhee throwback photo
The latest Instagram post of Bruce Lee featured the Little Phoenix training with Jhoon Rhee on the shore of a beach. The two legends stood on boulders near the sea, experiencing breezy weather. The stunning black-and-white imagery captioned, “Bruce and Grandmaster Jhoon Rhee” looked nothing less than a movie scene.

In the picture, the master was seen launching a power-packed sidekick with his right leg on Jhoon Rhee. However, the Taekwondo legend defended it with his hand holding a stunned facial expression. Interestingly, it is believed that Rhee himself taught Lee the unique sidekick. The two legends can be seen wearing traditional martial art attires. While Rhee donned a white Taekwondo uniform, Lee was bare-chested with a pair of black Kung Fu pants.
The two shared a special relationship both as friends and master-pupil. Lee helped the grandmaster get a lead role in the 1973 action movie When Taekwondo Strikes. As a tribute to the Little Phoenix, Rhee also wrote a book on their friendship, Bruce Lee and I in 2000.

The origin of Jeet Kune DoBruce Lee had a showdown with legend Wrong JackMan , the same year he met Jhoon Rhee. Although the Little Phoenix won the fight against his rival using Wing Chun, he realized that his fighting technique was not efficient. Hence, Lee decided to invent a fighting style that was fast and effective.
In his pursuit, Lee invented Jeet Kune Do, a hybrid fighting style. The core of its techniques was to intercept the opponent’s next move. To create the super-fast moves of his newly found combat style, Lee applied everything he learned his entire life. From the little Taekwondo lessons to his Cha-Cha dance moves, Lee made JDK the most flawless fighting art. Indeed, Bruce Lee made the best use of the knowledge that he attained from legends like Jhoon Rhee.

‘I am officially off the market’: When Margot Robbie revealed she made the ‘conscious’ decision of not dating actors


Margot Robbie revealed her decision to not date actors because of the media scrutiny that came with a public relationship of two high-profile actors
Back in 2015, A-lister Margot Robbie made a declaration that she would not be dating any actors. The actress may have alluded to her fiance Tom Ackerley, who she married the following year in 2016. In an exclusive interview with Marie Claire, she revealed that being in a relationship as an actor herself came with its own set of challenges. She believed that dating someone who was popular would add on to the media scrutiny.

Margot Robbie opened up on why she made a conscious decision to not date actorsTalking to Marie Claire, she claimed, “I am officially off the market.” She then shared the reasoning behind her decision and added, “I made a conscious decision not to date actors.” She continued to explain, “But not because I hate actors. That’s a nasty generalization to make, and that’s not the case. People take such an interest in your love life when you have a profile, it puts a lot of stress on a relationship.”
The Barbie actress continued, “So two people with profiles, I figure it’s just double the amount of scrutiny, and I’d like to avoid that at all costs.” This came after reports of her locking lips with Tarzan co-star Alexander Skarsgard started making rounds. It was reported that she was caught kissing the actor during the Sundance Film Festival.

Margot Robbie revealed she opted for a minimal lifestyle even after becoming an actorIn the interview, Robbie also opened up about how she was adapting to fame. She shared, “I have a normal 24-year-old life. If I were a waitress, I’d probably have the exact same lifestyle. I’d go to the same clubs I go to already, live in the same house with the same housemates, hang out with the same people.”
However, Margot Robbie tied the knot with Tom Ackerley who is an English producer and actor. The duo met on the sets of 2013 movie Suite Francaise where Tom was working as an assistant director. Post marriage, both of them launched their production company LuckyChap Entertainment.

‘Rocky’ Was Quite Different In His Original Screenplay, Sylvester Stallone Claims


Sylvester Stallone took his friend’s advice on a rewrite of the original screenplay to Rocky. A few tweaks later, he was on his way to major success.
In the new Netflix documentary Sly, Stallone discussed how he initially conceived of the project, which had a much harder edge. In the early version, Rocky was depicted as a “thuggish” character, inspired by Martin Scorsese’s crime drama, Mean Streets.

But Stallone’s perspective changed when a friend read the script and thought the boxer was too cruel for audiences to actually care about him.
Stallone recalled her crying.

“She goes, ‘I hate Rocky. I hate him. He’s cruel. He hits people. He beats them up.’”
Stallone took it to heart, and asked what he could do to soften the character.

“I said, ‘what if you stop short of it?’ Like, maybe he almost did. He could have, that’s his job, but he doesn’t?’ ‘That’d be nice,’” he added. “I said, ‘What if he had a girlfriend or something?’ ‘Yeah, that’s nice.’ So I go back, start writing that: ‘Girlfriend. Nice.’”
$117 million in box office later, a franchise was born.

Stallone also revealed that actor Dolph Lundgren sent him to the hospital during one fight scene in Rocky IV.
“Dolph Lundgren… he pulverized me,” Stallone says in the documentary. “Later that night, my heart started to swell—which happens when the heart hits the chest—and then my blood pressure went up to 260, and they thought I was going to be talking to angels. Next thing I know, I’m in intensive care, where I’m surrounded by nuns, and I thought, ‘OK, that’s curtains.’”
Stallone was in the hospital for nine days following the incident, praying for “one more round.”
“For the first minute of the fight, it is going to be a free-for-all,” Stallone told Lundgren. The Swedish actor joked in a separate interview that all he did was “obey orders,” explaining, “[Stallone] was the boss. I did what he told me.”
Doctors allegedly told Stallone that he received a blow to the ribs that made his heart rattle around in his ribcage, a condition typically seen in head-on collisions. “I did hit a bus, of sorts,” Stallone joked.
