Sensei's would use the phrase while teaching them kung-fu referring to the students as grasshoppers....and im sumb and do not know the full phrase or where it ORIGINALLY came from
The quote "my young grasshopper" originally comes from the 1970s TV show "Kung Fu." The full quote is "Patience, Young Grasshopper," and was commonly said by the character Master Po to his student Kwai Chang Caine.
After someone's grasshopper got old they then referred to its earlier existence as the young grasshopper. It just kind of stuck. Basically any grasshopper that isn't old is a young grasshopper. A middle aged grasshopper probably would not be called a young grasshopper but merely just a "grasshopper". I never heard of that. Instead it refer's to the Kung Fu TV series where the main character was being taught his Kung Fu skills, as a child, his mentor (with flashbacks in the TV show) would call him YOUNG GRASSHOPPER. You most often heard "Have patience Young Grasshopper".
This quote originally came from the film Citizen Kane. The quote was said by the character Charles Foster Kane.
"Young grasshopper" was used by David Carradine in a tv show called "Kung Fu" in the 1970's. It's referenced in "Chuck".
