omg... this is so sad...

Here in Guangzhou they have a martial arts themed restaurant chain called "Zhen Kung Fu" (Real Kung Fu)

The mascot is Bruce Lee. The staff uniform is based on Bruce Lee's outfit from Game of Death (or Beatrix Kiddo from Kill Bill ).

Talk about your literal McDojos!

I can't help but also shake my head at the extreme irony of a restaurant franchise calling itself "Real Kung Fu" considering that Bruce Lee is more known amongst martial arts circle for having founded the martial art Jeet Kune Do - a martial he created in as a sort of antithesis to Kung Fu. While Bruce Lee's started off practising Kung Fu, he openly criticised Kung Fu of being corrupted by "classical mess" and that was one of the reasons why he created Jeet Kune Do.

The other reason was because Bruce Lee was rejected by the Kung Fu community who:
a. Disapproved of Bruce Lee's standard of Kung Fu (or lack thereof)
b. Were full of racists who disapproved of Bruce Lee teaching Chinese martial arts to non-Chinese people.

So here we have this restaurant called "Real Kung Fu" - yet its mascot is a man who was rejected by the Kung Fu community, and who himself also rejected Kung Fu in favour of his JKD.

Note: This post is NOT intended to start any kind of "Kung Fu vs JKD" argument... merely noting the contradictory irony of this restaurant's name, theme and choice of mascot. Commercialisation to the max!! But as long as they sell their food, I'm sure nobody gives a WHA-TAAAAHH！

Another facepalm...
