Chok Dee--The Kickboxer (Movie)

[Sohan]

Great flick. I enjoyed this MUCH better than Ong Bak. It is a truly entertaining film based on the true story of French Muay Thai fighter Dida Diafat, who ascended from thug to Thai Boxing champ. It has an engaging plot, action-packed scenes from a training camp, and a surprisingly realistic view of daily life in stunningly beautiful Thailand. I was shocked to see that my wife actually liked the film (even the fight scenes!) and she doesn't usually care for MA films.

I really recommend this movie to anyone interested in Thai boxing. It should be out on DVD by now at most local vid stores.

The great thing about this film is it's realism. It's not a bunch of fantasy martial arts garbage, with people flying over trees or walking up walls. It's quite authentic and has some very realistic fight scenes, but it also has a great story about persistance and humility and overcoming adversity.

I just bought the DVD on Amazon. We're going to show it at a dojo movie night this weekend.
