Black Belt: Kuro Obi

[sensei8]

If this thread has already been discussed, I apologize.

Today, yes today, my wife and I watched Black Belt: Kuro Obi. Here’s my brief opinion.

This movie was released in 2007, and directed by Shunichi Nagasaki. No special effects; no flying and the such. 

The leads in this movie are Tatsuya Naka, a JKA Shotokan 7th Dan and Akihito Yagi, a Meibukan Goju-ryu 7th Dan. Also, Yuji Suzuki, a Kyokushin 1st Dan, co-starred.

To me, the leads karate was pure across the board. There were no long drawn out fighting scenes, which was refreshing to see. The lead’s technique’s were right to the point and effective. The last fighting scene at the very end pitted the two leads against each other, but that’s understandable considering of their equal rank; it’s expected to be as I thought.

I don’t like to watch MA movie because I don’t watch the movie for the entertainment value because I watch any MA movie as if I’m watching a Testing Cycle, hence way I’ve no watched this movie until now.

Some parts of the movie are predictable but when it came to the karate of the two leads, pure true karate and very effective. 

This movie can be found on Prime.

If you’ve watched this movie or will give this movie a try, please let me know what you think!!
