Jackie Chan's Dragon Blade

Well it's finally here. The neww trailer for Jackie Chan's new film! Dragon Blade will star Jackie Chan, Adrian Brody, and John Cusack.

ComingSoon.net has a small article about the film, the trailer, and a bunch of stills from behind-the-scenes/ promo shots. It looks like this could be really epic!

If you want to just see the trailer, then look no further!

This could be interesting, since:
"Cusack has trained in kickboxing for over 20 years, under former world kickboxing champion Benny Urquidez. He began training under Urquidez in preparation for his role in Say Anything... and currently holds the rank of a level 6 black belt in Urquidez's Ukidokan Kickboxing system."
(From Wikipedia)

This means we could have the potential for some good fight sequences between him and Chan. Time will tell!

NHK WORLD SPORTS JAPAN "Battodo"

I finally got around to watching this. It aired a couple of weeks back on NHK. Some of the material that it goes over is pretty basic, but there is some good information in it and even a glimpse in to competitive Battodo! (Something I didn't even know existed until recently. You pretty much need to be in Japan for it!)

Enjoy!

Wu Style Tai Chi Spear and Saber

I have never practiced these styles, but that doesn't lessen my appreciation of these forms. They are most excellent to watch!
