these all look worth it.

It’s good that you are learning those things. I would start seeing if you could sit in on martial arts classes and maybe looking into some stunt crews that are around and see if you can shadow them and learn some things about choreography. And of course check out the local theater and see if they offer classes. I am more into filming and what not.
I want to learn qi-gong personally, I think I have an affinity for it. I really wish they would make a contemporary version of the 5 deadly Venoms with them having ridiculous abilities and going ham on dudes.
Well I haven’t been in a class for quite a while but going to try and see if I can train with Shaun himself.
Of course I’m trying to do some filming myself but the work isn’t easy when you’re trying to do more than one. I’m also trying to find any auditions possible, heh but that is proving hard ;/
You may want to check out some film classes at your local college so you can see if you can maybe help out and learn the trade. It is always helpful to learn things like that so you can slowly break into the filming industry. I know film editing and stuff like that, just not actual filming too well, so I am linking up with people to see what we can make shake. Either way start looking up some classes and also check out some tumbling as well.
Also I know this isn’t technically a “new” martial arts movie, but I figured I would spread the love. Over at Amazon they on Blu Ray the Wu Tang “Iron Fist” Collection for $8.91. The collection comes with 25 movies, so yeah it is most definitely worth the purchase.

Not sure what to say about this but it seems that James Franco is in talks for playing Kineda for the live action Akira movie (yes apparently it still may get done). Robert Pattinson, James MacAvoy and some other guys are being considered for Tetsuo. Either way check out the link and let me know what you think. Honestly i don’t want them to play with my emotions like this.

Also there is a petition you can sign if you believe that there should be an Asian/Asian American actor play the roles of Tetsuo and Kaneda.
Here is the link to the campaign to push for Asian actors for the movie:

Sorry for the mass posts, but I have to post this. Do any of yall remember Kung Faux? The redubbed Kung Fu flicks with rappers doin the voices (Roc Raida, Guru, Rza)? Man that shit was mad ill, and I forgot how funny they were. Either way, they are on Amazon for like $10 per volume. So check it out.

Yeah lol that’s canny I’m actually taking a media class in September so I will learn all the trades then.
And gosh, I remember first watching Akira. My mind hasn’t been the same since.
I remember a time when I used to spar with my friends, two who were both very experienced.
The first focused heavily on Northern Praying Mantis Style, and would literally dance around me (In movement I’m not clumsy nor do I have poor balance, but I’m only quick in dodging in certain situations). Apparently he was expelled for carrying his knife with him, which I’m sure security knew of but didn’t care. He also owned a night stick and apparently several weapons as far as I knew. He has studied NPMS, Tae Kwon Do, Tessenjutsu, and Shodokan Aikido.
The second one took me down rather easily, though apparently he could never get out of my joint locks and hold. He has studied Aikido, Muay Thai, Northern Shaolin Kung Fu, and Tai Chi (I think - I know he studied four styles but I’m not sure if it was Tai Chi). I was able to pick him off the ground from an arm lock, though this could have severed muscles, bones, everything in that side of his body. After that was our sparring match. We had another one before he went off to boot camp, in which in my opinion did better this time.
The last one had me on the victorious end. Another friend and I sparred outside while some of my friends watched and pretended to play with controllers as they were controlling us. I started by tossing an inward crescent kick at his face, missing on purpose while successfully intimidating him. As the fight progressed, he landed a kick onto my left rib (and the pain traveled to my left pectoral and lingered there for a couple of days). When I caught him in a hold (I recall it was a rear naked choke), he climbed onto me and jabbed two of his fingers into a pressure in the throat. It didn’t work. 
The second we fought, another friend joined in and both of their legs clashed which resulted in both hitting me in the crotch. I managed to pull myself together and resumed. The other friend left and it was then one on one. Both of our hands clashed and I accidentally struck him in the nose and gave him a noseblood.
The third and final fight resulted in him being pissed off at me after I took him down in a sleeper hold wrestling style in which he didn’t even bother to tap out.
I think you mean Shodokan, Shotokan is Karate dood.
Well Tarantino was suppose to do this a few years ago but went with Inglorious Bastards instead…Who knows he might still make it…But an updated version set during modern times would be neat.
lol when i was like 16/17 i went to a summer kung fu camp and all the kids there would tell me i was lucky i didnt come the summer before. they did qi gong in the hot sun, just circles for hours hahah…i have never wanted to learn it since.
Its the best art imo.
the amount of hype for this online series i have…i cant even explain my feelings. i want it…i want it now!!!
not feeling that at all.
Instead of finishing Grandmasters, i went with King Boxer instead…Movie had some dope scenes but overall the fighting was under par. I do like the iron palm strike, shit is deadly…Bitch better have my money!
Eh that series looks okay. It really couldn’t hold my interest, but I will check it out anyway to support the crew. I would like to see some type of martial arts movie or short movie where it is just fighting (similar to the first couple of Dead Fantasy episodes). Just mindles over the top fighting. Also I want more raw and gritty fighting, something like a cross between the hallway/hammer scene in Oldboy, mixed with the mad dog fight in The Raid.
Basically this:

mixed with this:

you really cant sustain a mindless series and have people willing to give you money for it as a kickstarter. maybe a movie or short but from what i can tell their gunning for a series.
Saw Man Of Tai Chi. It was good, until the last fight. No fucking way in HELL should that have even BEGUN to go down like that. Reeves was just as slow and stiff as when he did The Matrix 1. Fucker needed WIRES to do a double-leg aerial side kick. Overall, okay movie. Keanu can’t even fake-fight for shit, the end.
