karate_woman Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 Come on, who saw Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and thought Michaelangelo was awesome with the nunchucks? I didn't start watching Bruce Lee / Jackie Chan movies until I was 14 or something. But they influenced me as well. They didn't come out until I was in high school, so no, I didn't watch them.

GreenDragon Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 Yes, that is a big part of it. But it wasn't movies for me as much as the TV show Kung Fu.

kchenault Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 My dad and I used to watch Kung Fu when I was about 4 or 5 years old. Loved the first one. Ken ChenaultTFT - It does a body good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost02 Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 When did TMNT come out? Geez man your only 5yrs older than me you should at least remember the 80s. I think 84 is when they first came out.

I think 84 is when they first came out. Plus the movies that followed. Not sure who that was directed at but I turned 12 in 1984, and I believe I started judo that year. I was a little beyond the age of the target audience, plus with only 2 channels I didn't get a chance to watch The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. -Lao-Tse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martial_Artist Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 I can say movies had no influence on me. In fact, I was doing martial arts before I even knew what movies, television, and entertainment were. Been doing martial arts for a long, long time (in my life that is). ::EDIT:: Fixed grammatical error.

MuayThai Fighter Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 I joined martial arts to learn how to fight,because I was always one of the guys who got hassled by the school bully and got sick of it after a while so I first joined karate and did so for 12yrs.now I do Pankration and have done so 5yrs. I guess you could say some Bruce Lee movies had an influence on me to join as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
