Welcome to one of the most...
popular landmarks in all over China.
It's visited by millions of people...
every year.
The Forbidden City!

I wish someone would just... - yeah.
Me too.
Just tell someone.
Yeah! I got it.
Thanks a lot.
The floors of the palace was reinforced with bricks.
15 layers deep...
To prevent anyone from climbing in.
Mr. Parker.
Oh yes...
Is everything okay?
Er... yes, Yes. Thank you.
Chung: Let's go.
Man: Go away, go away...

I'm serious! That's enough beating!
Chung: Don't stop me!
Go home.
C'mon!
Go home.
C'mon.
What's up with the light bulb Mr. Han?
I thought you were just the maintenance man.
You think only with your eyes.
So you are easy to fool.
It doesn't hurt.
Ancient chinese healing.
How do you do that out there?
You like... didn't even punch them.
They... beat each other up.
When beating angry blind men,
Best to just...
stay outta the way.
So... where did you learn kungfu?
From father.
Have you ever taught anybody?
No.
Would you?
Depends.
On what?
Reason.
What about to kick somebodies ass?
Best fights... are the ones we avoid.
How about avoid getting my ass kicked?
Stop saying ass.
Sorry.
Kungfu...
if for knowledge... defense.
Not to make war.
To create peace.
That's definitely not what they are taught.
Not such things as bad students.
Only bad teacher.
Erm... That's great!
I guess we just...
stroll into their school and talk to their teacher.
Good idea.
No!
Bad idea!
If I go in there! I'll get my ass kicked.
I'll get beat up.
You got beat up anyway.
would you go with me?
No! Sorry.
but you said it was a good idea.
For you! Bad idea for me.
C'mon it's not like you are busy or anything.
And...
I don't even speak chinese.
Very sorry.
Right.
Alright whatever.
Hey!
What's wrong?
Why didn't you finish him?
DO IT!
Okay Mr. Han. Let's get outta here.
Return to position!
Never show mercy even if the opponent is down.
Don't hesitate.
Keep attacking.
Until you obliterate the opponent.
What are you looking at?
Chung: It's that man that beat me.
We'll here for an apology.
Let him fight his own battles.
If it was a even fight.
But he was outnumbered.
It was unfair.
I understand.
Prepare for a duel!
Woah...
Mr. Han did he want us to fight?
We're not here for a fight.
You beat up my student.
You ask for a duel.
Now you wanna walk away?
Not without a fight.
Master Li.
Why don't you fight in his (Dre) place.
One of you have to fight.
Then we fight in the tournament.
Fine.
I accept.
From now til the tournament.
Leave my student (Dre) alone.
Listen UP!
Until the tournament. Do not harass Mr. Han's student (Dre).
UNDERSTAND!
UNDERSTOOD!
Hey!
If the boy fails to appear,
then you are a dishonoured!
So!
That go pretty much you planned it?
There's good news and bad news.
Good news is. They promised to leave you alone.
Really?
While you prepare.
Prepare for what?
Tournament.
You'll fight them all, one to one.
Huh?
So the bad news is,
Now they get to beat me up in public!
Yes.
Great!
Thanks!
Thanks a lot!
They're gonna kill me.
You saw they're kungfu.
That's not kungfu!
That does not represent China!
Well, that bad man teaching,
very bad things hurt!
A lot!
More good news
I will teach you real kungfu.
Yes!
See you later mom!
Hey wait! This is early for you for a Saturday.
Mr. Han is teaching me kungfu.
The maintenance man?
It's China mom! Everybody knows kungfu.
Dre, you know how I feel about you fighting.
Kungfu is not about fighting mom,
It's about making peace with your enemy.
Be careful Dre!
Okay!
Mr. Han!
Mr Han!...
Back here!
You know you have a car in your living room. Mr Han.
Okay.
I was thinking about it yesterday.
I know I was kindna freaking out about the tournament.
But I realised something last night.
I'm an athlete!
My number one asset!
Is I'm fast okay.
I'm quick.
Quick...
Speed...
Catch me...
I'm quick... yeah.
I used to take gymnastics at P.A.L!
That's the Police Athleteic League! So check it right...
Boom! You see that!
Boom. You see that!
Yeah!
My uncle Raymi used to date this brazilian girl.
And he learnt Jujitsu...
and he taught some of it to me.
Its like locks and holds and stuff... Okay.
Attack me.
See that?
Feel that?
I could break it.
I'm choosing not to.
It's a pressure lock.
Dangerous.
Oh he also taught me Caporeira.
Can't touch me.
Can't...
That antique?
Pickup your jacket.
Oh...
So basically Mr. Han...
I'm trying to say is.
I've got a good foundation here.
Know... like I say just I'm just...
Might not be as hard as you teach other people you know.
Hang it up.
Okay.
Happy now?
Take it down.
But I just...

No street parking.

What'd you learn?
Nothing.
Uniform on uniform day.
You're fighting the tournament.
Yeah.
How did you hear?
Everybody knows.
I hope you have a good teacher.

He's a maintenance man.
Can I ask you a question?
Yes.

Oh!
So Amm...
How many students do you have?
Including xiao Dre?
Yeah.
One.
So hmm... What's this show about?
Aa...
It's the story of the Goddess...
And the boy she loves...
I love this story.
Her mother does not approve of him.
So, she cast a wide river in the sky.
To separate them forever.
But, once a year.
All the birds in the sky...
feel sad for them.
And they form a bridge.
So the two of them,
maybe together for a single night.
I'll be there at the audition.
If you come to my tournament.
Okay. I'll be there.
Pinky swear?
See. You wrap your hands like this.
I swear...
I'll be there at your audition.

AGAIN!
Kungfu lives.
Everything we do. Xiao Dre!
It lives in...
how we put on a jacket.
How we take off the jacket.
It lives in how we treat people.
Everything...
is kungfu.
So why didn't we take the Ceroco?
I don't drive the Ceroco.
Do you have a licence?
Yes
So you have a licence...
and a car.
And we're on a train.
Please be quiet.
I'm just saying.
Seems like we could save a lot of money.
Don't you think?
You always ask this many questions?
It's alright.
So what are we learning today?
Chi.
Internal energy.
'The essense of life'.
It moves inside of us.
Flows through our bodies'.
Gives us power from within.
I get it.
Like 'The Force' in Star Wars.
You're Yoda and I'm like...
I'm like a 'Jedi'.
Hey! Trishaw!
Driver: Thank you!
Is this where you learned kungfu?
Yes.
Everything good about me was born here.
Xiao Dre,
you can leave your backpack and skateboard here.
So where we're going?
We journey to the top of the mountain.
Drink from the Dragon Well.
'Dragon Well'.
It's probably closer than it is,
looking at it.
Right?
Are we there yet?
Soon.
Oh...
How do you say water in Chinese?
Shui (water).
I need some shui.
I'm really...
thirsty.
I'm thirsty Mr. Han.
Water on top of mountain.
Xiao Dre.
The journey is complete.
Is this the 'Dragon Well' ?
Yes.
I stood here...
with my father.
When I was your age.
He told me its...
'Magic kungfu water'.
You drink and nothing can defeat you.
It's the best water that I ever tasted.
Did you see the lady with the snake?
Yes.
She was doing the cobra thing.
She was like...
copying the snake and it was like...
right here and she was like...
You did not watch closely enough.
Xiao Dre.
The snake was copying the woman.
But.
Don't get it.
Look.
What do you see?
Me
My own reflection.
Yes.
Now what do you see?
It's blurry.
Yes.
Women...
like still water.
Quiet.
Calm.
In here.
And in here.
So.
The snake.
Reflects her action.
Like still water.
Like a mirror.
Yes.
So...
she controlled a snake by doing nothing?
Be still and doing nothing.

are respectful and honourable.
Meiying was once...
a very good friend of mine.
She has taught me,
what true friendship means.
I would like to be given another chance.
I would accept any punishment.
If I am unable to honour our friendship.
I hereby would like to ask for your permission and would like the opportunity,
to prove myself and to your family.
That's it.
Meiying have told me that she have promised to be there when you compete.
Our family have never gone back on our promises.

In our family,
we do not break our promises.
