When it comes to kung fu actors, we think of Bruce Lee Jackie Chan Jet Li and People like Donnie Yen, Zhang Jin and Wu Jing. However, in the 1970s and 1980s, there was a kung fu actor with a very strong resume, he was Wong Ka Tat.
Wong Ka Tat, born in 1947 in Hong Kong, China, learned a strong kung fu from an early age, and is good at Muay Thai, Shaolin, karate, and Korean Aikido.
In the 1970s, Huang Jiada was already a Thai boxing champion of free fighting, and he was famous for being favored by Jiahe director Huang Feng and invited him to participate in "Aikido", which was Huang Jiada's debut work, working with Mao Ying and Hong Jinbao. It is worth mentioning that this film is the first time that Hong Jinbao has played the second male lead, and Jackie Chan, Yuan Kui, Yuan Biao and Lin Zhengying are all running dragon sets in the film.
After that, the same team starred in "Taekwondo Earthquake Kyushu", which is a anti-Japanese god film in the 70s, and Huang Jiada played Mangfu as always.
Bruce Lee, the most influential kung fu master of the 1970s, led to the development of Hong Kong film action films after his death, and Wong Ka-ta used to be friends with Bruce Lee in private, and occasionally practiced martial arts together, and also appeared in the documentary "The Life and Death of Bruce Lee".
Now when it comes to Huang Feihong, the first thing we think of is Jet Li, but the one who starred in Huang Feihong's movies the most is Guan Dexing, huang Jiada once cooperated with Guan Dexing in "Huang Feihong Shaolin Fist", playing the role of a little lion.
In the late 1970s, Huang Jiada began to move to Taiwan, and grew up rapidly under the tutelage of martial arts director Guo Nanhong, and had a good performance in "Eighteen Bronze Men of Shaolin Temple", "Eight Gate Sect" and "Burning Shaolin Temple", which was a great improvement compared with the previous image of Mangfu.
Later, he collaborated with Zhang Yi, an early action actor in Hong Kong films, such as "The Great Eunuch" and "Dharma Tantric Blood God Drifting", Zhang Yi is usually the boss of the last villain, and Huang Jiada is always the representative of justice.
In 1977, he cooperated with the leg king Tan Daoliang in "Yongzheng Death Death Shaolin Gate", and then played the role of Yongzheng in "Lv Siniang Breaks Into Shaolin", letting an action actor play the emperor, which seemed really not domineering enough.
With the opening of jackie Chan's kung fu comedy model, the market for serious action movies became smaller and smaller, and Wong Ka-ta gradually reduced his filming, and in 1979 he was hired as the head coach of the Hong Kong Police Karate Association. Wong Ka Tat, a former boxer, won the gold belt at the World Muay Thai Championships in 1984, was hired by the United States the following year as head coach of the New York State Police Headquarters, and five years later became the head coach of martial arts of the U.S. Marine Corps. Later, he was hired as the head coach of the Hungarian Special Forces and the head coach of the VID Assault Brigade of the Ministry of the Interior of Cambodia.
With this resume alone, it is also a bunker, once recognized by the Korean Boxing Association as a black belt eight dan, I don't know and Huang Zhengli's taekwondo black belt nine dan which is more powerful?
As a generation of kung fu masters, Huang Jiada's disciples are also innumerable, among which Wei Feng, chairman of the Stallone International Boxing Federation, is his disciple. At the same time, the "International Shaolin Integrated Boxing World Federation" founded by him has branches in many countries and actively promotes martial arts.
As a former Hong Kong action actor, Wong Ka Tat has a very good relationship with many stars in the Hong Kong film industry, such as Hong Jinbao, Jackie Chan, Tam Wing Lin, Yuan Hua, Jet Li, Donnie Yen and so on.
Huang Jiada's last film and television work should be "Wusheng Love" with Chen Derong and Shi Tianlong in 2006. Now the focus is entirely on promoting martial arts, and I wish him all the best!
