I haven't seen half of those movies. But other other half I have seen and I like them. Good taste Motd

[Mark of the Dragon]

Dey all Martial Arts related, heh

[Dude Man]

LOL Yeah they are. The Matrix has werid martial arts. I like that!

[Mark of the Dragon]

Matrix was Yuen Woo Ping's second-best...best was Fist of Legend.

For those who don't know, Yuen Woo Ping did the fight choreography...heh.

Cory Yuen is better than Woo Ping, though. Cory Yuen would've made the Matrix 2 and 3 fight scenes involve more manipulation of the environment and less UN-realistic air fighting.

Cory Yuen and Jet Li's best work - Kiss of the Dragon. Why? Fight scenes were all ground-based, so Jet Li used NO wires whatsoever, and nobody can use his wirework in "The One" to say he sucks. Damn right! And the story was amazing! Made sense, unlike "Cradle 2 the Grave" (WORST movie ever).

[Haraldur]

Spyder, I did know.

[Cesque]

Hmm... I've seen Fish called Wanda... quite good but still not best. No one beats Spielberg at impressio- and expressio- nistic movies about war or injustice.

As for karate movies, for me, they all look almost the same. I only liked Enter the Dragon, really.

[Mark of the Dragon]

They are NOT all the same, you idiot. Also, please don't use "Karate" as the general term for Martial Arts. Karate is the Japanese Martial Art, and even so, it is divided into a few forms, such as Shotokan Karate and Kenpo Karate.

And most Martial Arts movies revolve around Kung Fu. More specifically, the southern styles of Kung Fu. Sometimes there will be some Tsing Yi Zang and Pa Gua Zang as well, but that is usualy it.

If you say "Karate" to describe general martial arts again, then I will hunt you down and show you what EVERY Martial Art will do to you (yes, I know many of them)

Don't call me idiot for not knowing what you know. I guess you have no idea what's difference between chu-ko-0nu and arbalest, MORON. And the only martial art that is proven REALLY useful against REAL opponents is israeli KRAV MAGA.

First rule of krav maga? "If you fight for the most noble of purposes - to defend your life - you are allowed to take opponent's life".

Krav maga is not a show between 2 black belts on the scene. A soldier skilled in it can kill during the storm, in fog, unarmed, about 3-4 people with guns. Krav-maga employs almost any known weapons, it's training how to kill with fists, kicks, knife, guns, everything, in every situation.

(too bad the trainings are so brutal that you can break a few bones during PRACTICE)

[Mark of the Dragon]

Actually, Taekwondo IS practical. I have used it in a real-world situation. I didn't kill the guy, of course. Just did enough to get him to the ground, and disabled one of their arms.

[Spyder]

I'm gonna have to agree with Cesque. You can not expect everyone to know what you know. I use karate as a general term, as do millions of others. To people that don't follow every detail, it doesn't really matter what you call it as long as the person your talking to knows what your talking about, which you do. You also shouldn't expect that since you know a bit of karate, you can go around kicking everyone's ass. Your only going to get yourself into trouble.

[Cesque]

Hmm, on other hand people who know more in certain categories are suppose to educate those who know less to keep balance in the world  Laughing

Mark, let's say a black belt meets krav-maga master in battle. Most likely, before even he begins to employ his techniques, he would have a knife in his throat. One of the basic rules of krav-maga knife fighting:

- Term knife fighting is false. It's not fight. It's a murder. Whoever strikes first, wins.

- A person with bare fists will never, ever be able to kill a person with knife, if it's consious, skilled and motivated to kill. Never.

I know watcha saying, however. In my elementary school there was a guy who practiced nin-jutsu (or something). He usually laid down anyone in 3-4 moves. Except, of course, someone got to him when he was standing back, coiled arm around his neck, thrown to the ground and kicked a few times. But that wasn't too honorable.

[Mark of the Dragon]

Well, sucks for him.

And it's Ninjutsu. He was no master. Any master of Ninjutsu wouldn't even need 2 moves to take one person down. Also, half of Ninjutsu is stealth. Had he really known what he was doing, nobody would have been able to touch him...ever. Why do you think the Samurai were pissing in their pants when the Ninja started killing them off in Japan?

[Spyder]

Had he really known what he was doing, nobody would have been able to touch him...ever.

People that are masters at martial arts arn't invincible, despite how much Power Rangers has led you to believe this.

Just look at Bruce Lee...

[Mark of the Dragon]

Bruce Lee was no master...he only got to his first weapons form, and his third Kung Fu form. He may be skilled, but his knowledge was lacking.

And just out of curiosity, what the hell is Power Rangers? I mean, with Martial Arts, I've always watched Jackie Chan and Jet Li movies. Sheeyit.

Oh, and by the way, I know what the hell I'm talking about when I say that had his friend mastered Ninjutsu that he wouldn't have been taken down like he was. Shit, you people don't understand anything.

[Spyder]

Um, apparently you didn't read his post very well either. His friend was in elementary school. No one masters ninjitsu in elementary school...

You seriously don't know who the Power Rangers are?
