Tribute to Leo Fong: "The Ultimate is Within You"

This video was created in remembrance of the late martial arts instructor and Methodist minister, Leo Fong, who died in February 2022. This is a reconstruction of a speech given by Sifu Fong at the 1999 Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do Memorial Banquet. Video of about a quarter of the speech was included in the official VHS of the event, released in 2000, but the entire speech has never been made available to the public until now. This recording of the speech was made on a micro cassette recorder some distance from the podium, so the sound quality is poor. The footage from the 2000 VHS tape I have included in this video, while the visuals for the rest of the speech are constructed from still frames.

This is a wonderful tribute, one to be treasured forever; I am blessed to have met him, be trained by him along with the best (Jeff, Klein, Jason, James) and most importantly be certified. Until we meet again GrandMaster Fong!
