Afghanistan: Kung Fu Fighting! Meet the Afghan BRUCE LEE
- 9 years ago
Kung Fu legend Bruce Lee is back from the grave and dazzling onlookers with his majestic martial arts skills in Afghanistan.
The man behind the talent is 20-year-old Abbas Alizada, a native Afghan who loves to train in the destroyed and abandoned Darul Aman Palace in Kabul.
Alizada has spent the last six years imitating the moves of his childhood hero.
SOT - Abbas Alizada, Bruce Lee Impersonator "I started Kung Fu when I was 14 years old and I faced a lot of financial problems for two years. When I turned 16 years old, I trained without a trainer until I was 20. I was training by myself in our basement as Bruce Lee, doing his actions and tactics in the basement. That hard work is what made me famous."
"Bruce Hazara", as Alizada calls himself, has acquired a huge following on social media after he began posting photos and videos performing a number of Bruce Lee's classic moves and cinematic poses.
From twirling nunchakus to Kung Fu kicks, it's clear that the young star isn't just another doppelganger with a bowl haircut.
In fact, Alizada hopes to be an example for young Afghans and a champion for Afghanistan.
