Martial arts film

movie because I enjoy watching and learning from films. I have never watched a foreign film so I was intrigued to experience one. I honestly was not sure what to expect with a foreign movie, except I knew I would be reading subtitles. I presume I thought it would be about issues and situation that I could not relate to. I went in thinking that the plot would feature a lot about the culture and I would not understand parts of the movie. I expected the film to feature traditional, collectivism…

Have you ever had to fight someone before? Okay, maybe not a schoolyard brawl, but sparring with someone in a martial art. That is what I do twice every week because I take Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Judo. I have been taking it for almost a year now, but I occasionally still feel a little uneasy when I battle against higher ranked opponents.

I started training when I was about nine years old. I was in gymnastics but I was too old to stay in the class I was in but we couldn't afford the price to get into the class for older kids. My dad wanted me to join kung fu so I could learn to defend myself. Like every parent, he wanted me to be safe in this terrifying world. I thought it sounded pretty cool so we talked my mom into looking into a karate school. We looked through the phone book and the first place we found was Belen Goju Ryu…

If I win more fights I win, the more popular I become. I’ve been in fights that I want to. Now in retrospect, I realize it was smart not to fight back. My brothers always tried to make me stronger and protected me. At a young age, I realized that I hated any type of violence. When I was about six or seven I learned what a pacifist was.…

I stopped taking karate lessons because I believe my interest changed. Although I still find martial arts exciting it is not something that I want to partake in.

Journal 5: What is appealing to me regarding Chinese films is the very heavy use of some form of martial arts in most of their films. While I was looking on Google trying to figure out what movie I should watch for this journal, I notice while rea ding the descriptions, that most of the films dealt with some kind of martial arts training. Additionally, what I also found appealing while looking at which movies to watch, was how most of the films were set back in time and the movies were mainly…
