She recommended that they stop fighting Danny’s energy and instead channel it. Daniel’s father chose to train his son in Wing Chun as an outlet for his energy. He demonstrated a tremendous aptitude for the martial art; he chose to direct his skills to free his block from the triads that governed his neighborhood. He would regularly prank gang leaders and rough-up thugs trying to shake down local shopkeepers. His reputation escaped him; the streets buzzed with stories of the Monkey Prince of Chinatown.
