Karate Kid & Real Karate

[Shorin Ryuu]

I enjoy watching martial arts movies, but I always get the same sort of feeling that happens when you see a movie about a historical event. Take Braveheart for example. A great movie, but not exactly accurate, but still good.

 

Martial arts movies mostly involve choreographed fights that oftentimes take a lot of skill to do, but are entirely unrealistic and impractical.

 

To make a long story short, don't watch a movie for technique, watch it for entertainment.
