Much like this man, Hasidic Warriors do not advertise. We are comfortable living in the shadows. However, we draw a line when it comes to blatant Chinese knockoffs.
After all, it's only right that one receives credit when credit is due. And while we are honorable Warriors who are willing to let many things slide, the Hasidic part of our nature demands some form of compensation.
Take the following story for example.
In 1959, a Hasido Master who lived in Seattle was eating at his favorite restaurant for dinner on Christmas. Naturally it was a Chinese restaurant but this particular establishment was known for perfecting a Kosher version of a dish befitting all Warriors- General Tso's Chicken.
The details are unclear but what emerged is that an enterprising young busboy offered to give the Hasido Master the secret recipe for Kosher General Tso's Chicken, in exchange for the Master taking him on as a student.
The Hasido Master agreed.
The two soon became close friends and upon teaching his student the ultimate technique known as the JERUSALEM FIST, which "if do right, no can defense", the Hasido Master asked for the secret recipe.
When the apprentice shared the secret ingredients, the Hasido Master became enraged for he thought his student had betrayed him. Only a fool would believe that the secret recipe for General Tso's Chicken was actually the same as that of Sesame Chicken, except spicier.
The pair soon parted ways, with the Hasido Master vowing never again to talk to his apprentice. All his life, however, the young student maintained that he told the Hasido Master the true recipe.
And out of love and respect for his teacher, the apprentice eventually adopted a secular version of his Master's name as his own.
The Hasido Master's name was Baruch Leibowitz. The young apprentice?
He became known as Bruce Lee.
And so, without further ado, I give you the JERUSALEM FIST, better known today as Bruce Lee's 1-Inch Punch.
