dete Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 I got interested in Martial Arts because of a movie I saw when I was a kid, Return of the Dragon (Way of the Dragon) was my fav. flick.Motivated me to train later on in life (junior high)I was lucky my high school years there was a second martial arts craze with Van Damme, Seagal & all those low budget martial arts guilty pleasure flicks. Those helped motivate me as well.In college it was the UFC that motivated me. When I saw movies like the Matrix & Spiderman, I thought, I wonder how many people these type of movies are gonna motivate people to start martial arts? And I thought about my long journey, and I thought, thank goodness, I'm not just starting now, & to those that are, good luck! The path is long! Ok so what movies motivated YOU? http://www.freewebs.com/knife4street

bushido_man96 Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 Chuck Norris movies, along with my dad, got me interested. I still remember watching Lone Wolf McQade as a kid. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
Jay Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 (edited) The Karate Kid and then Jackie Chan movies Edited November 6, 2007 by Jay The key to everything is continuity achieved by discipline.
YoungMan Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 No movies really motivated me to start practicing, although Chuck Norris films reinforced my desire to.I watch them now and realize how bad they really were. But when you're 12 years old they're pretty cool. There is no martial arts without philosophy.

David Carradine...what a bad guy!I also liked the MIA series, I thought Side Kicks was ok, but cheesey, and an interesting one that went straight to video was called Hellbound. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
dete Posted November 12, 2007 Author Posted November 12, 2007 personally Delta Force 2 did it for me. I like the sparring scenes, the fight with Carlos was awesome!The appearance of the butterfly knife made me happy. http://www.freewebs.com/knife4street
