Steve Aldus, Kim Aldus, and Adam Bockler at the USA Martial Arts Hall of Fame in April 2014.
I sit down with Steve Aldus – who teaches me the Chinese martial arts of tai chi chuan and Hsing-i chuan – to talk about what it was like learning martial arts in Hong Kong in the 1970s. We also talk about how, when he came back to America, he was challenged to prove his martial art worked in an era where full-contact karate fighting and boxing reigned supreme.
