Kung Fu Expert in China Beats Up Mob of 50 Trying to Evict Him
To understand the background of the incident - and the plight of Chinese homeowners attempting to resist eviction when the government wants to build something on their land - watch this short video:
Now that you’ve got the background, you’re ready for the story from the Telegraph on the Kung Fu hero:
When 38-year-old Shen Jianzhong was faced with a mob of thugs trying to evict him, he asked himself what his hero, Bruce Lee, would do.
The answer, according to a video that has attracted more than two million hits on the Chinese internet, is turn to kung fu.
For 20 years, Mr Shen had been practising kung fu, teaching himself Bruce Lee’s system in his courtyard home in Bazhou, Hebei province.
Working in a local gym as a fitness coach, he is also the holder of a world record, at least according to an association in Hong Kong, for the most press-ups in a minute using a roller. “I am now training to break the record for most press-ups on a balance beam,” he said.
At the end of October, Mr Shen was able to put his kung fu into action. For six months, a property developer had been trying to get his hands on Mr Shen’s house.

At first, the property company stuck up posters warning of dire consequences for any families who held out. Then, Mr Shen said, when 70 of the 100 households had left, the threats escalated.
“
This mob of thugs would block the street most days. They would pick on the women, threatening to kill their kids. Then people started tossing bricks through windows and letting off fireworks at night. Some people got beaten on the street.”
On October 29, as Mr Shen went to work and his wife popped out for a packet of instant noodles, a mob of “30 to 50 men” materialised at their front door.
“My wife tried to close the door, but they pushed it back and she tripped over. That is how the fight started,” said Mr Shen.
With a flurry of kicks and punches, he and his 18-year-old son, a fellow kung fu devotee, set about the attackers, rendering seven of them near unconscious in the hallway.
“It was self defence. I really cannot remember what kung fu skills I used.
It was quite messy. Only seven people were injured because the rest were scared and stayed outside. Some of them ran away,” he said.
When the police arrived, however, they were little help, insisting that since the thugs were unarmed, it was Mr Shen and his family who were in the wrong. They urged the family to sign the contract.
Instead, the Shens posted their homemade video online, where it has gone viral as a rare David versus Goliath moment in the bleak fight against China’s avaricious property barons.
They then fled, on the evening of November 21, to Beijing. Upon arriving in the capital, however, Mr Shen’s son was arrested by the police, who said they would charge him with assault.
“I do not regret the fight, but I am worried about my son,” said Mr Shen.
“I think they are trying to fit up him up with some crime. I am concerned that my actions will end up hurting him,” he said, acknowledging that officials may try to emotionally blackmail him into signing over his lease.
Here’s video of the aftermath … showing the injured thugs:
And - since this is fight club - here's Bruce Lee:

If you haven't seen Ip Man you owe it to yourself:

And in FoF, if you notice the Japanese practitioners had their hakama on backwards. This was Bruce's way of of knocking them. Well, besides beating the crap out of them.
You forgot to mention that Ip Man was Bruce Lee's first Kung Fu teacher, instructing him in Wing Chun. Ip Man was also a national hero, defeating many Japanese masters. I do this stuff...
Jean Claude Van Damme taught Ip man. Van damme learned from his master Zidoshi as personified in the movie Bloodsport. Watch it if you don't believe me.
Holy shit! that was the best thing I've ever seen.
Wow ... thank you. I'd never seen IP Man before.
+1 for Wing Chun.
Someone tell that guy on the ground white socks are soooo 80's
too bad this guy doesn't have SCOTUS to protect his constitutional rights, think "eminent domain"
total militarized storm-trooper police force with drones and all the kung fu in the world wont save ya
SILVER LIBERATION ARMY UNITE!

when all of these increasingly well off Chinese people stop grinding themselves to dust for five seconds and rediscover The Water Margin, I expect shit to jump off in CHN in a major way. The NWO hasnt succeeded in transforming the entire planet into Los Angeles yet so the remaining cultural integrity will crop up here and elsewhere.
they shouldve waited until they had every single human alive living in an iPhone20 virtual reality induced stupor to go for the global currency, one world bank, ww3 dealie.
awesome story george - always remember folks, one determined human can move mountains.
(even if they are then summarily destroyed by a system that cannot and will not appreciate them) it reminds me of the real life Crocodile Dundee who was gunned down on his porch Bill Cooper style for not giving up his rifle to AUS Feds during the NWO take over of AUS.
its no secret, humans all over the planet wish to be free.
as dark as it gets i tell you, im bullish on freedom and Liberty, the target market demand for Liberty is through the roof for the foreseeable future according to my calculations XD
Different story here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodney_Ansell
Ansell was killed following a police shootout on 3 August 1999. The deadly altercation began at approximately 10:45 a.m. on the roadblocked intersection of Stuart Highway and Old Bynoe Road, near Acacia Hills.[1][3] Ansell had ambushed Sergeant Glen Anthony Huitson and his partner, Constable James O'Brien, with a shot from Ansell's .30-30 lever-action rifle deflecting off a police car and fatally striking Huitson in the abdomen, below his bulletproof vest. A gun-battle immediately erupted involving numerous officers of theAdelaide River Police Station. About five minutes into the fight, Ansell was shot dead. O'Brien killed Ansell with a shotgun after unloading on Ansell's position with his Glock pistol, having missed all his previous shots.[1] The battle ended the authorities' 12-hour search for an attacker who shot at two nearby residences the previous night. Ansell's girlfriend, Cherie Ann Hewson, 28, was with him but escaped before the gun-battle occurred; she fled, eventually turning herself in to Brisbane police on 7 August 1999.[1]
Although police were at a loss to explain Ansell's motive (he could have easily escaped the roadblock had he chosen to), it was later determined that Ansell had been raving about Freemasons prior to his death; he was distraught, apparently convinced that Freemasons had kidnapped his two sons and were now stalking him.[1][6] Like Ansell, Hewson also suffered from severe mental illness and regularly abused drugs.[1]
For these type of stories, wikipedia has no credibility. I'm not saying it's not true, only saying wikipedia is a poor resource.
Wikipedia is a tool of TPTB.
The article is well sourced.

they are trying to complete the conquest now for a reason... has to do with issues illustrated in Mayan calendar. The timing was not random.
And what a lovely place it is to live..... the picturesque avenues and friendly faces.
Poor guy. Same scum thug elites like we have in the Democrats Ob-Land of sh*t aka formerly the USA.
What fascist fuckwads are downarrowing this comment? I love fly by junkers... cowards all.
Fuck you fascist thugs. There are more of this guy in the world, many more...
yeah he should have outside and fucked the other thugs up.
AS SPECTACULAR AS THAT WOULD HAVE BEEEN IN A MOVIE--IN REAL LIFE--(LIKE THIS SITUATION) 1V.50-- HE DID exactly THE RIGHT THING: THE 'THERMOPYLAE ' DEFENSE--HE USED THE DOORWAY AS THE CHOKEPOINT--AND STACKED AND PACKED THESE CLUELESS MOTHERFUCKERS IN WINDROWS UNTIL THE GREATER MASS OF ASSAILANTS BEHIND THEM LOST HEART AND RAN. Straight OUT OF The ART OF WAR.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU DO WHEN YOU'RE OUT-GUNNED AND OUTMANNED. TAKE NOTES.
When you can take the pebble from my hand it will be time for you to stay.
Ya know, the Martial Arts (Wing Chun style) is cool and all...but what do you suppose would have happened if every Chinaman in that apartment building had access to a gun when the communist government sponsored punks were running around in the street intimidating people to move out?
Jus sayin ;-)
HERE WE GO AGAIN. ONE MAN. FIFTY ASSAILANTS. TEN THOUSAND HOURS OF TRAINING.
NO WEAPONS. NO MERCY.
ONE DISORDERLY RETREAT BY THE THUGS SENT BY THE LANDLORD.
ROLL CREDITS.
Probably. At least they would have taken a few with them.
YOU MEAN LIKE THOSE SEVEN CHUMPS STACKED UP , BLEEDING, IN THE DOORWAY?
THEY LOOK PRETTY "TAKEN"TO ME.
wait 2 years, then see Texas
DC ain't coming I tell you that
I'll tell you exactly what would have happened, same as would happen in the US: The army would have showed up with a few tanks and that would have been the end of it. Dream on if you like...
OK, I will. The Federales will NOT be taking my guns away while I live. Of the 300+ million guns in private hands in this country, I will dream that I am not alone----that maybe, say, 1% will resist. If there are 80+ million gun owners, this is an army of 800K. 600K died in the War of Southern Sucession. Everybody croaks sooner or later, might as well be for a good reason.
A fellow 3%'er. Molon labe, from my cold dead hands.
Yes, the Tiananmen Square Apartments. Freedom isn't really free is it?
It seems someone or something is always trying to snatch a little piece of it under the guise of the "public good".
