We are all aware of Jackie Chan?s acting and his martial arts prowess. With his commendable cinematic stunts and fighting prompts, Chan has earned widespread recognition and reverence from many martial arts fanatics. However, once during his teenage days, being an all-rounder didn?t favor him to his rescue. And, he got picked on by the bullies in his drama school.

Jackie?s admiration for martial arts taught him its nooks and crannies from a very young age. Thus, he has been well-versed in self-defending mechanisms since his teenage days. But, he was bound to use his skills on his seniors at China Drama Academy. Chan once fell prey to bullying at school and later received punishment from his master.

In his autobiographical log, Never Grow Up, Jackie thoroughly described an anecdote from his days at drama school. Describing the norms of his school, Chan wrote, ?The unwritten rule in our school was that the big would bully the small, and the small would obey the big?. But, young Chan once engaged in a fight with his bully, Yuen Kwai while everyone watched them by forming a circle around the two fighters.

Interestingly, Jackie was attacking his bully with scissor kicks, but their ?master showed up suddenly?. And, everyone present there got ?startled and started running?. However, Chan?s master stopped both of them and instructed them to ?duke it out?, by fighting again. Thus, to obey their master they again faced each other and ?traded blows? at one another.

Once the fighting came to a halt, Kwai and Chan?s master asked them to ?kneel, facing each other, and slap each other?. Following his instructions, Jackie and Yuen sat facing each other and traded several slaps with one another. However, 10 slaps later, both of them became exhausted and stopped blowing hits at one another. And, explaining the aftermath of their punishment, Chan wrote, ?our faces were puffy, and we were bleeding from the mouth and crying from pain and exhaustion?.?
