German filmmaker Werner Herzog once said: "Compared to an authentic kung fu movie, Jean-Luc Godard's films are like counterfeit money for intellectuals." As a major genre of film that has swept the world, kung fu movies not only provide sensory stimulation for audiences but also offer a rhythmic beauty in their action, transcending language and words like a dance. This pure visual communication is an international language that everyone can understand. Looking back from the margins, how many martial arts moves, how many figures of martial artists, are like excellent movie dialogues, leaving an unforgettable impression.
"Everyone Can Train" is Hong Kong visual artist Rex Koo's fourth picture book, documenting Hong Kong films through his artwork. In addition to a large collection of moves and origins from kung fu films, the book also records over forty martial arts actors from ancient times to the present, who left an unforgettable impression on the author and captured his heart.
