  • I studied under Keith Jenkins, who studied under Ron Van Clief. Great experience, forever engrained in my heart.

  • Kung Fu fucking Sucks. Bjj and Muay Thai all the way.

  • Van Clief is truly a Grandmaster. Past age 50 - he entered the UFC. People told him not to do it because if he lost - he will lose his reputation. He fought Royce Gracie - UFC legend - and lost. But Van Clief is BEYOND winning and losing - beyond ego. Always a lifelong student - he used it as a learning experience, and even congratulated Gracie on his fine performance - instead of making excuse. Ron Van Clief - OSU!!!!

  • IT WOULD HAD BEEN A GOOD KARATE MATCH BETWEEN RON VAN CLIEF AND JIM KELLY!!

  • I was deeply moved by your life and hope your presence inspires one to live your life and never give up

  • Very cool story, nice action, sorry about my race's stupidity.

  • Sir, you are a gentleman. Watching this clip makes me gave me a deeper appreciation of who you are as a person and where you have been.

  • Wow, didn't know about Ron Van Clief's background, especially his experiences in the military. Man, great to know you made a great life for yourself in the martial arts. Yes, much respect to you sir.

  • That's because the USA is shit...

  • R-E-S-P-E-C-T

  • "it will be exploding in this theatre soon," they sure don't say that anymore....keep kickin' ass, sir!

  • thats a disgrace, thats what you get for trying to help your country, forget nationalism

  • f*** these crackaz man

  • After all that happened to him before with the racism and war, he seems a well balanced and enlightend man. Respect

  • Dang! I thought blacks and whites "joined"in/during the Vietnam war??..

    Ah what the heck..proud to see Brothers still doin`Martial Arts! Peace!

  • God Bless You Bro. Ron Van Clief, you are truly a inspiration!

  • Now if that is not inspirational, then I don't know what is?

  • Is this available for purchase?

  • "thats make up?" Ron van: "Nan baby its the real shit!" hahahaha

  • YOURGREATMAN

    

  • I actually met the Honorable Ron Van Clief on numerous occasions and I am thankful to have stood within his aura. NYC stay UP!

  • @ankokugaiBOSS what was it like meeting the legendary "black dragon"?i have yet to meet one of my insipirations to the arts.

  • @blacqwolff His voice is like ice, manner calm as a stream. He doesn't waste to much time in idle chat unless it seems pertinent to whatever he deems relevant. The younger kids weren't hip to his legendary status sometimes, but around the lower East Side he had a definite presence. He personally signed three copies of his work "the Black Heros of Martial Arts" for me and my cousins. I think the world of the Honorable Black Dragon.

  • This is fucking pathetic I can't believe this would happen to some one! Then white people wonder why they're hated by non white people!

  • his story makes me so fucking mad 

  • @dev1on mad? why

  • Much respect to you brother Van Clief. Your story is inspirational.

  • RESPECT SIFU RON! THE BLACK DRAGON IS A LIVING LEGEND :)

  • A strong inspiration to me as a young African American kid growing up in the inner city streets during the early 1970's. A true SUPER HERO. Because of his accomplishments kids like me gained the faith to make it out of the hood.

  • @manifestedson We need more men of colour like him, in the States as well as here in the UK!!!!!

  • @theman2017inc that will not happen not so long as the white propaganda keeps going

  • Hotep: May the work of all of our Grandmaster Martial Artists be RA-spected and RA-stored so that the ankhtributions of elder brothers like Grandmaster VanClief are known especially by our youth. Amazing truth to share....his works are evident in 2010 globally and locally within the Virgin Islands...we know as we have witnessed and engaged in partnerships with him. May our Ancestors be honored by our works on earth! Shem Hotep!

  • i admire you , you are a legend.

  • sad that you had such an ugly experience with certain segments and aspects of what we call humanity - it's great that you came through it so well!!! good cantonese of "black ghost"

  • great man

  • This man is a living testimony

  • you are an inspiration and also an embodiement of character,maturity and class that is seldom displayed in our martial arts community. god bless you sir.

  • Much respect to you Sir, you're an awesome person and your story is inspiring..peace out!

    =-)

  • @Aku666Torres I TOTALLY AGREE

  • this is some powerfull shit

  • This in my eyes is one of the great videos posted, with respect to what you have done, my humble bow to you Master Ron Van Clief, Oss.

  • Ron - I love this trailer. It's filled with magical memories. I never tire of listening to you talk about the days when TRUE martial artists walked this earth! - You look absolutely wonderful in this video. God bless and stay healthy, and please continue to generate your "Glow". - Your friend and number #1 fan, Hector Martinez
