108 Spirits

By J -


So here's a website with a congregation of people that I enjoy talking with: 108 Spirits. I like their attitude: no whiny self-indulgent woe-is-me introspection crap. No pseudo-intellectuals with rhetoric and ideological buzz words coming out of their mouths instead of original thought. Just Asian guys from all over the world who talk and act like men: direct, to the point, unpretentious and unconcerned with shit that don't matter.

To illustrate, here's a post at their forum by an Aussie Asian:

"Personally I don't really care about negative media images. I turn the TV off, problem solved! What I care about is inspiring more Asian men to become fearless and passionate, free to express their sexuality and exude a strong presence wherever they go. What I recommend to Asian guys who haven't got their woman problems under control:

- Get your arse to the gym, pump some iron, baby!
- Eat more beef!!! Put that friggin' soy milk down and don't eat tofu!
- You don't want to look like a nerd? Well if you look like you can kick arses and you're built like a fighting machine, it doesn't matter if you have thick glasses or funny eyes, the last thing people have in their minds will be that you're a nerd.

- Fix your fashion sense, one small thing at a time.
- Move out of your parents' place if you haven't done already. Pointless to "romantically connect" with women if you can't easily bring them home and "connect" the brain out of them.

- Join a competitive sports club or two. If you pick mixed sports, get on the crappy team - they have the hottest chicks. The good ones are full of lesbians.

- Get a hobby & build a social circle that has plenty of women in it, so that you're always meeting new women. Instead of going out night after night, use that time & energy to build something that keeps on laying more golden eggs for you.

- Find out what's unique about yourself and STAND OUT like you're the biggest tool in the shed! Be Yourself and Fuckin' Flaunt It!

- Learn how to flirt, learn some verbal jiujitsu.
- Turn the fucking TV off so you can stop bitching about the media.
- Stop caring about whom Asian women are fucking, or whether they're on our side or not.

- Traditional Asian values. As someone who's very much into Asian history, literature and philosophy and who grew up in an Asian country, I reckon many Asians living overseas have a really fucked up view on what our cultural values and traditions really are. A lot of negative things about them are blamed on their 'traditional upbringing,' whereas I believe if they were of another race, it would be blamed on some individuals - i.e bad parenting or the lack of a good role model. I believe this is one of the core factors leading to their identity issues.

Yes, they sure are manly men. Anyone who doesn't follow these rules isn't a man. Real men do all this shit. Seriously, if you're an asian man and you're not acting like this then your life ain't worth living and you should just kill yourself.

Interview with Rick Lee

Q: I'm an avid follower of your site and had a question, since I believe you are the most recent one to have done an interview /been in contact with Rick Lee. I was wondering: is he still actively keeping up with his website?  Also I was wondering if you ever heard of the podcast DVDASA hosted by David Choe ? I'm sure you know of him or can easily find out who he is, but I wanted to know how I can contact him. I think he'd make a great guest on the show especially, because of his Asian-Man website. I believe he was the first Asian male porn star. David Choe talks about it sometimes, but he mentions Keni Styles as the first, but Rick is.  I'd love for him to be able to get on the show, set the record straight and help continue changing perceptions of Asian males.  Sorry if this is sort of random. Anyways hope to hear from you soon Thanks! -J My Answer: Are you trying to contact David Choe or are you trying to contact Rick Lee or both?  I'm s...

Muscle Building Diet for the Asian Male

As a strength trainer with an Asian American background, I often get questions and comments from Asian dudes all over the world. A common theme that pops up among Asian lifters is the belief that their Asian genes are limiting their progress in their quest for a muscular physique. I always tell them this: don't let race or ethnicity be a limiting factor in your training goals or any goal. It does not matter if you are Asian or a skinny bastard or a woman. If your goal is to be bigger, faster, stronger, then you still travel the same road that everyone else travels to size and strength. I mean look at Tommy Kono . Here was a Japanese American who grew up in an internment camp, and he became arguably the greatest Olympic weightlifter the US offered to the world.  He was also a successful bodybuilder, winning the Mr. Universe title in 1955 and 1957.  He built a phenomenal physique in an era before steroids. He didn't let race or ethnicity be a limiting factor i...

Strength Training for the Asian Lifter, Part II

By J -

Since I keep getting inquiries on my previous article Strength and Bodybuilding for the Asian Lifter , I thought I'd write up a follow-up: I’m a bit of a bodybuilding purist. I normally don’t write my exercise articles from the angle of “develop the muscles that drive her wild in bed!” Men’s Fitness, however, interviewed me one time for an article titled Sculpting Her Five Favorite Body Parts. The interviewer picked my brain on how to develop muscles so that a woman, as she put it, “couldn't keep her hands off you.” When it comes down to it, Asian men want the same thing everybody else wants when they exercise: to look good naked! Women don’t give a crap how much you bench, but they will notice the tone in your arms when you’re wearing a T-shirt. A lot of Asian guys feel that their Asian genes are somehow holding them back when it comes to gaining muscle. But guess what? Whether or not it is true that Asian men have a harder time gaining muscle, most women don’t ...
