Acclaimed journalist Alex Ben Block launches his debut novel: Adventures of a Young Kung Fu Legend
Drawing on decades of firsthand research and Hollywood industry knowledge, Block delivers a gripping martial arts action adventure epic that blends cinematic action with a heartfelt coming-of-age drama.
Set in the vibrant, volatile world of 1950s Hong Kong, the novel follows Brad Chi, a courageous, charisma and sharp-witted teenager whose path leads him from the city's shadowy backstreets to the heights of Kung Fu mastery. However, Brad is more than just a fighter. He's an aspiring film star, ballroom dancer, student boxing champion, and devoted son and friend. But when he crosses paths with the brutal Dragon's Claw gang, Brad's life spirals into a series of high-stakes confrontations.
As the pressure mounts, Brad must navigate street violence, school rivalries, family expectations and romantic entanglements. His physical training in martial arts becomes a mirror for his emotional and psychological journey. Brad must develop self-discipline, inner strength, and define his own moral code to become the legend he is destined to be.
"This is a story about resilience, heart, and growing into greatness," says Block. "Brad Chi represents the spirit of martial arts: not just in combat, but in character."
" Even though it's not Bruce Lee, there are parallels throughout that make your imagination run wild," says Charles Damiano, creator of The Bruce Lee Collection. "It got my attention from beginning to end. I never wanted to put it down. I felt I was learning how he became legendary during those early times. You were always comparing it to the life of Bruce Lee."
The novel concludes with Brad's departure aboard a ship bound for America-leaving behind unresolved rivalries and lifelong attachments but stepping forward into the unknown with hope and purpose. Block hints at a sequel, suggesting this novel is only the first in a larger saga.
