GrandMaster Steve Muhammad 

I am extremely proud to say that I trained under GrandMaster Steve Mohammed! Started when I was 3 years old (now 37). My mother, father, aunt and uncle trained uner him also. Great and unforgettable lessons learned. He is an amazing man.. #BKF4Life

"I turned pain into skill."...I will, now and forever, do the same.

Wow, He impress me so much he is like the Grandfather I never had. I can listen to this man all day. I wish to know more about him.

I just realized he was in Enter the Dragon!!!!! INCREDIBLE, a LEGEND.

What an absolute Legend!!!... The Epitome of a True Warrior, and an Inspiration to All True Martial Warriors. A, Truly, Remarkable Man, and Living Legend.

Brother Steve is one minister Farrakhan fiercest officers!

Awesome documentary on Grand master teacher, Sijo Steve Muhammad also known as "Pops" to the L.A. black youth of the 1970s and 80s.

It must have been by Divine timing that I ran across this video because I probably needed to hear this to keep my spirits up I'm grateful that I was able to cross this path I'm going to play this on a regular basis to keep my mindset and motivated thank you mr. Muhammad

When he speaks about fighting and does those movements, you know he can still kick some ass! Subhanallah!

This brotha is a true warrior indeed

I took Mr Muhammad's seminar in LA. Such an amazing teacher. So great and humble.

Peace. this video has changed me permanently in the most beautiful way. APDTA!

Outstanding video I have been a follower for the arts all my life. I feel blessed to see a time were men like this stories can be told.

SIJO STEVE MUHAMMAD is one of the Great Men that have inspired me in Great Ways! The rare moments I have spent with him, spoken on the phone, watched his documentaries makes me realize more as I have said about Men of his caliber,.. need to make a Great Movie about them and Our Story about Black Martial Arts Heroes like them! Why are We waiting for anyone to tell our stories? Let US unite and do this in 2014! This is ONE OF THE GREATS that still lives! Gonna call him now..AS SALAAM ALAYKUM SIJO. Thanks for welcoming into your home and showing me rare things.

Brother Steve Muhammad is a FANTASTIC man with a BEAUTIFUL HEART! The Very FIRST Time a met him. He talk to me for hours. And said that his Door is totally Open for me ANYTIME I want to visit! And What I took from him that day was the Art of FIGHTING LANGUAGE! Thank you SO SO MUCH Sir! That right there took My Skill Set to the Next Level... Peace E

What a wonderful man! Thank you so much for posting this...

I knew of Grand Master Steve Muhammad through kung fu movies and Bruce Lee actually being quoted saying he has the fastest hands hes ever seen! But this documentary went further in depth into the African American experience in the 60's and 70's martial arts era! I really enjoyed it!

Great story by Steve Mohamed I have had the honor to be in two of his seminars because his my master friend he taught one at my school

Big up Steve. From you are conscious of yourself as a Blackman in any time you have my full support .

Had the Honor of loosing to Steve back in the 70s,, He has been an inspiration to me all of my 62 yrs in the MA

Steve Muhammad is not only a true martial arts legend but very deeply insightful and intelligent. I learn so much just listening to his knowledge of martial arts and I am someone has trained for 12 years. I like his history and experiences he shares.

I believe him good story my grandfather also fought against racism there was a lot of black ppl Like them in the Old South. in certain places black people grab their guns

He gave the flowers to grandfather recognising that without his grandfather he would've ever been the man he was today

You have inspired me as well big brother Muhammad. Your story is one that should be told on a larger scale to inspire the youth of today.

Steve Muhammad is truly a legend I really enjoy listening to his insight and background. As a black belt martial artist I learned so much from hearing him just speak. Thank you so much sir for sharing your knowledge.

This man is unwavering in his commitment to Mind,Body and Spirit. It shows. He's had quite a life and continues to share his knowledge. Blessings.

Very inspirational documentary piece. I really enjoyed it.

I a'int getting enough of this video, anytime soon. watch it every morning, get a boost. why. The greatness of the Man the , the cause which he stands for. .His words sparkling with the truth . The superb music and the captivating beats.the supreme skill ,brother.

All i have to say is this brother just gave me so much hope in my career as a NOI Muslim MMA Fighter may Allah bless you with the wish of getting more knowledge and to live until your153+ year young man on this earth thank you for your strong words. Salaam

I needed to find this!!! We've always been warriors!!! I felt that

This man is the real deal.

Awesome video and interview!!

He was in Enter the Dragon. it was a bit part but he was in it. He knew Bruce. I've met him and he's as honorable a man as you will ever meet. Bruce Lee did visit his dojo during that time. They were friends. Just sayin

inspirational thanks my big black brother

BIG RESPECTS TO GRANDMASTER STEVE MUHAMMED. THIS MAN WAS A TRUE PIONEER AND CHAMPION REPRESENTING THE WAY OF THE WARRIOR FOR THE MILLIONS OF BLACK PEOPLE.

Happy birthday Steve Enjoy your day🎉🎉🎊🎊

So honored to have known this man for almost forty years! A wonderful human being, and the finest karate artist I've ever known personally.

Wow! I am at a lost for words. I am glad this came through my feed.

Great story Mr.Muhammad

You can see a lot of Sijo's finger joints are healed improperly. Most likely from the early days where you'd grab onto a gi and punch away.

This is all very interesting to hear about.. I couldn't stop watching and listening to you.. Yes now I realize that you were the karate teacher in Enter The Dragon.. Pretty cool man!! Like your fighting theories and insites. Make a lot of sense.

during an interview w/a student of bruce, he said that bruce told him that there were people faster than him & therefore did things to hide his speed in order to compensate. now i know who 1 of those people r that he was talking about. will have to watch footage of steve's tournaments if i can find any on youtube. thanx for posting.

I love this brother, very humble and knowledgeable.

I am honored too know that Grand Masters like continue to prove that the martial Arts change people. Thanks for opening the door to so many young men.

Warrior.... Just look @ his fingers and joints...much combat

Thanks Grand Master you've inspired me , Osu!!!

Great fantastic watch and insight ;) Thanks Duane Emsley (Demzley Show) for sending me this !

Incredible video highlighting the Black Masters from the past. Although they did not the credit they deserved, they were undoubtedly the people who paved the way for future black martial artists like myself by putting themselves on the front lines. Thank you very much. excuses and thank you for sharing.

A top master of the martial arts. An inspiration

This was great. The only problem is with the captioning. If someone is Deaf they cannot learn from this Master.

Grandmaster Steve Mohammed I Bow to you, Sir 🥋 .

amazing. ...strong....inspiring

A great warrior!

Great documentary!

Remarkable and charming storyteller and I love the beats in the background some of the best rap songs, I heard Quiet Storm, Ether, Patience, Hail Mary, it goes on.

Awesome !

The Black man is God!

Man his lesson is amazing.

Much respect! A real one!

FEAR NO MAN!!!---Should be the name of this.

So much wisdom in this video

Grandmaster Muhammad is more awesome than all of the bigots that hated him combined. GM Muhammad has sublime skills in Kenpo

I hate that RU-vidrs feel that they need music to enhance the video. All it does is drown out the audio

Yep, that's him as the teacher of the dojo Williams visits in Enter The Dragon.

Love Master Steve Muhammad ❤ 💙

They don't wanna acknowledge the black martial artist.

right on teacher

Excellent vid! I have to say that his hand being in his face and in the camera is a bit distracting, but I can ignore that to listen to this great fighter.

Awesome

Incredible!!!!!!!!!!

I know this great brother, love you my brother

Psalm 144 King James Version 144 Blessed be the Lord my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:

Very inspirational

I can DIG it!

Nice guy,words of wisdom right there.

This should have at least a million view. Grand Master Steve Muhammad should be celebrated and known as one of the best martial artist with the fastest hands & feet. Unfortunately for him, he came from a era of hard core racism and he did not have the opportunity to break in the movie industry which was extremely racist at that time. If it was in the late 80's,early 90's. I believe that he would had surpass steven seagal or van damn for sure. With all respect I love Bruce lee (rest in peace). But Bruce lee admit it that the Grand Master had faster hand & feet than him.

The True Essence Of The Black Dragon

very enlightening.

Very deep.

Black entitlement: I'm as sloppy as shit, but I'm black, so I deserve to be praised by the Martial Arts community!

Even Steve Muhammad thinks Bruce could fight.

very impressive..... was a Great man

You are my friend for life god bless you BKF

Long LIve the BKF!

These guys are true legends. Humble in their greatness, you cannot fail to be inspired by such honorable people. They should make films about these people to share their stories, not made up Kung Fu movies.

I'm a little disappointed Mr. Mohammad didn't mention his Master Instructor Chuck Sullivan the man who taught him his skill sets and always treated him as a brother in the martial arts.

Black Karate Federation!

@ that time we witness the warrior in the Blackman in martial arts.

Mostly all forms of martial arts had psychoactive plants for training. Specifically magic mushrooms it gives you a greater sense of the energy. Theres more than meets the eye in this plane of existence then simply moving your body to hit something.

I come back to this video just to hear the story of them whooping on the Cops.

I never understood why he went to jail if was a police officer. I never understood that part of the story.

Was he a black belt and instructor at Ed Parkers Kenpo Karate School in LA. Is he the one that Tom Gow caught with a spinning rear kick and knocked out? I think it happened in the mid 1960s.

This brotha has good knowledge of fighting skills as you can see when he teaches at the end of the video. But with a name like steve muhammad you would think he is a follower of the most honourable Elijah Muhammad. If he is then he should talk about how he combines his martial arts work with the messengers teachings. If he is not noi then he is still an excellent brotha and i hope we see more brothas like him in our communities to defend our people. Peace.

Peace One more great example that the Blackman is GOD , pioneering All things in Existence. Peace

I regard Steve Muhammad as a Heroic Example of Courage, Discipline and Absolute Manhood! One detail that wasn't included at the Beginning is: White Abolitionists combined with Black Revolutionaries during our 19th Century Civil War to KILL 300,000 White pro-slavery confederates and establish Emancipation. Before the Civil War White Christians in Kansas KILLED thousands of pro-slavery criminals in Missouri to help accelerate the Civil War to begin. The point is Black Revolutionaries with White Abolitionists, (Zealously KILLING men of their own race), both fought and died with total commitment to end the dishonest criminal civilization of bigotry based slavery. Don't regard people by their appearance, as Martin Luther King emphasized, regard every man EXCLUSIVELY by the Moral Character between their ears.

Why the music while he is talking? I am trying really hard to make out what he is saying.

Made them white boys run lol

CUT THE MUSIC! IT'S TOOOOOO LOUD!!!!!!!!!!

Who pay the way in the martial aets world 🌎!!!

I love this family. I am going to promote you hard on my page. Peace family...
