Jackie Chan Real Fights
Detroit, Michigan
" I met the first trouble-maker the day I arrived in Detroit, Michigan. When I stepped in the City Center, I
saw a banner written, 'Jackie Chan - Master of Kung-Fu', being hung on the front door of City Hall. I immediately sensed the unpleasant atmosphere of the crowd, apparently offended by the words on the banner. As I predicted, trouble came. As my interview was coming to an end, I was asked to perform a few Kung-fu techniques. At that point a guy jumps onto the stage and shouts to me, "Jackie Chan, what would you do if someone attacks you?" The guy wasn't tall but had a sturdy built. From the way he dressed and behaved, he probably wanted to get a name for himself by striking me. While I was concentrating I also watched for the staff's reaction. But they didn't take any action, they wanted to see the duel. I had no choice but to keep calm and ready myself. In fact I decided to kick his legs. He made the first move, he swung his fists, looking like a fient move. Anyhow my left foot already struck his legs. With a loud 'bang' he hit the stage. At that point we were surrounded by the staff."
Cincinnati, Ohio
"In a network station in Cincinnati, Ohio, I was demonstrating how to free myself from being strangled from behind. My performing partner was a 6 foot male. But unlike our act in the rehearsal, when facing the camera, he squeezed my neck as tight as he could and I almost suffocated. I knew what I had to do. First an elbow to his ribs loosed his grip, then I twisted my body and with my hands over his back I pulled and rolled his body in a complete circle, heels over head. A terrific move! That two hundred pounder landed right in front of me, knocked out for a moment."
Portland, Oregon
"At a welcome party In Portland, Oregon, a male approached and asked for a duel . Being a guest at the party I refused his request. This guy, rather cunning, was seemingly disappionted and wanted to shake my hand goodbye. Once our hands grasped I could feel his seizing force and I knew I was trapped. I immediately moved my legs into a defensive position. In fact that guy was pretty strong with his grasp. I gripped his viens to lower the blood circulation, and his force gradually turned weak. While I was about to free my palm I saw him raising his left fist. I instantly grasped his thumb and commanded his wrist. At that point he could make no move."
