Even though this movie wasn’t really a success with movie critics, it was able to generate somewhere around US$ 55 mio.
Looking at it from martial arts and self-defense perspective, it probably does offer women something to think about and maybe even start taking self-defense classes.
The fighting concepts depicted in the movie are based on Krav Maga, which we talked about here some time ago.
I found this clip with J-Lo’s character getting ready for the big show-down with some interesting martial arts philosophies and a very challenging workout regimen.
I would really love to hear from the women reading this post today and learn if this movie had any effect on you in regards to your martial arts and self-defense training.
Does anybody remember when one of Bruce Lee’s teenage students tried to hit him in the face with a side kick?
Let me reiterate:
Does anybody remember that famous scene in the movie classic “Enter The Dragon” when the martial arts master played by Bruce Lee tells his teenage student to kick him?
I think this scene never gets old, even though it’s been almost 40 years now.
Hmm, makes me wonder what ever happened to that teenager.
But besides that and I know it was a movie, one of Bruce Lee’s philosophies was to use your longest weapon against your opponent’s closest vunerable target. So how about a side kick to the shin or knee. I’m just sayin’.
Nevertheless, enjoy a bunch of nuggets of true martial arts wisdom packed into less than 2 minutes.
Today I would like to share inspirational quotes and a video that will make you want to jump up and take action, especially after all the food you had yesterday.
