From New York Times bestselling author Grady Hendrix and film historian Chris Poggiali comes the full story of how kung fu movies came toand conqueredAmerica in this revised and expanded edition.When a Hollywood studio released Five Fingers of Death to thrillseeking Times Square moviegoers in 1973, only a handful of Black and Asian audience members knew the difference between an Iron Fist and an Eagles Claw. That changed overnight as Five Fingers kicked off a kung fu craze that would earn millions at the box office, send TV ratings soaring, influence the birth of hip hop, reshape the style of action we see in movies today, and introduce America to some of the biggest Asian stars to ever hit motion picture screens.These Fists Break Bricks offers a lavishly illustrated exploration of how these highkicking, brickbreaking movies came to America and raised hell until greed, infomercials, and racist fearmongering shut them down. For the first time, the fulland wildstory is told, including how CIA agents secretly funded karate movies and how The New York Times fabricated a fear campaign about Black karate gangs, as well as the history of Black martial arts in America and the onslaught of Bruce Lee imitators after his death.With a foreword by RZA of the Wu Tang Clan and brand new material on superstars like Jackie Chan, Michelle Yeoh, and Donnie Yen, plus spotlights on unsung performers, film poster artists, and moneylaundering film distributors, this revised and expanded edition is a master class in kung fu cinema history.

Honestly, I thought these would be more durable. I've only used them a few times and they already show signs of wear. They work, but I’m a bit disappointed with the quality.

So much fun, but a bit small
These gloves are a blast to use for practicing my punches! They feel sturdy, but I wish they were a bit larger. Still a good buy for the price!

Decent for casual use but lack sturdiness
I got these for my kids to practice their punches at home. They enjoy them, but I’ve noticed they aren't holding up as well as I hoped. They work fine for light use though.

Snug fit but functional
I was surprised at how snug these fit my hands. They don’t slip, which is great for focus mitt training. The fun design adds to the experience too!

Great for stress relief!
I bought the These Fists Break Bricks for some stress relief, and they definitely deliver! The foam is pretty firm yet comfortable, and I find myself using them during my workouts. Solid product overall!
