AMERICAN KARATE SYSTEM℠

Here you can find some of the AKS Forms. Others will be added / updated as needed.

Our A.K.S. students and instructors have participated in various tournaments, as well as conducting classes and seminars over the years that have been video recorded. There is also some "vintage" footage of instuctors in tournaments / seminars / or exhibitions. We are working on instructional footage from Sensei Lieb that we will be able to share when these videos have been uploaded to the "YouTube" website.

We have created this "Video-Link" page so that we may share these with our members and guests. We will be adding more links as they become available. Enjoy.


  

This is a great video of Mr. Lieb with Bruce Lee on YouTube. It's called, "This Guy Was Never the Same After Challenging Bruce Lee." The video corrects another website misnaming Mr. Lieb during a demonstration in Washington DC. Bruce had asked Mr. Lieb to be his uki. Mr. Lieb said he would but said, "Don't hurt me, Bruce I have to fight in the finals." Thank you, Mr. Prince for the correction.

My name is Prince. This is Golden Bell Training. My real goal is to promote Chinese Kung Fu and to help people become better martial arts athletes, and one of the ways I do that is by sharing cool and interesting stories about Bruce Lee, but sometimes that means debunking popular myths and stories about the Patron Saint of Chinese Martial Arts.

So this story comes to us from my good friend Beerdy from the Bruce Lee Central YouTube channel.

Beerdy claims to be the biggest Bruce Lee channel on the planet, and because of his status, he's privy to all kinds of secret stories from his sources that no one else has ever heard, including legitimate Bruce Lee historians like John Little, Steve Kerridge, and Bey Logan.

Holland, MI - March 22, 2008 - Fred says, "I competed in Holland at the Western Michigan Karate Championships and had a pretty good day.  Even though, as we speak, I'm nursing some bruised ribs and my hips aren't working as well as they were on Saturday.  I came a heartbeat away from taking the Grand Championship match but lost in sudden death.  Oh well, there is one more tournament on the schedule for April and then I'm through until I get the itch to compete again."
