If I can get in my 2 cents for on this subject. As many of you remember me, I'm a huge MMA fan so while I disagree with what Jackie said about MMA, I still respect his opinion and can understand how watching a sanctioned...
This a video of action scenes from the recently released 3rd installment of the Yakuza game series on the PS3:

This seems to have everything you want in a beat em up game, awesome hand to hand combat, innovative use of weapons, grapple as well as MMA-inspired techniques and...
Actually Ken Shamrock made his pro wrestling debut in 1988, in 1990 he wrestled for South Atlantic Pro Wrestling under the ring name Wayne Shamrock. He later changed his ring name to Vince Torelli adopting the nickname "Mr. Wrestling". In 1990, Shamrock travelled to Japan, where he competed in...
Sorry folks, but when it comes to baaaaaaad martial art flicks, none is worse than the ones my country makes, Egypt has made possibly some of the worst martial art movies ever!
I'm interested, this would mark the second time Jet Li plays a bad guy, Yeoh is one of the best female Kung Fu stars and one of my favorite Bond girls.
I feel sorry for him sometimes, mostly because he's a good actor who wants to prove to the critics he is and he does but at the expense of the profits like what happened with Crime Story and Miracles, two of his best acting performances ever that were critical favorites but were also box office...
Mine is Antonio Inoki, a Japanese legend, an unrecognized former WWF/E champion. Fought in several early and possibly worked MMA fights including the worked and boring Ali fight. The man who popularized the Enzugiri and the Octopus Stretch.
I think posting this would be a good thing to do to prove to the "haters" that MMA has really reached the masses.
There are plans to air IFL on MBC ACTION, an action themed block. which is part of the popular Dubai based network, MBC. They gave it a Coming Soon ad, which means they are gonna air...
This so called rivalry is getting out of hand. Extreme fans on both side are insulting fighters who don't fight for their league. I mean seriously fans like that are a disgrace to the MMA fanbase.
Sports writer Mike Freeman written a completely biased and pathetic excuse for an article bashing MMA giving out points that have no creditbility: http://cbs.sportsline.com/columns/story/10162545
I've written a response to him, I know I didn't need to reply to a closedminded idiot but I felt...
My favorite will always be Kazushi Sakuraba, his Gracie Hunter legacy got me into MMA, at the time he was like the total package of the sport. He also proved that a lot of pro wrestlers aren't completely "fake" fighters, yes he was a pro wrestler (well, more of a shoot wrestler).
Okay, here goes
Top 5 (In terms of kickass none stop movies)
1. Enter The Dragon
2. Drunken Master 2 (Jackie Chan at his best)
3. Once Upon A Time in China 2 (Jet Li's masterpiece)
4. Fist Of Legend
5. Ong Bak (Although not the best stoyline but the fight scenes were amazing)...
I know this discussion may of have been done to death, I still think with many events happening in MMA recently I thought this now a good time to discuss this. Post your top 10 (starting from 10 to 1) influential figures who helped create MMA.
10. Tito Ortiz: When MMA was on the rise, Tito...
I for one don't really care, why? Because many of the fighters in MMA are mostly both grapplers and strikers and Lee's JKD wasn't all about fancy kung fu moves, it was like a revival of the cross-training philosiphy created many years ago which resulted in the creation of different martial arts...
Yes and no, indeed many legends tend to have an unbelieveble larger than life status and Lee was no exception however Bruce Lee was revolutionary, he may not have been the first to introduce cross-training however he was the first to make the idea mainstream with his JKD system and he was the...
As a muslim, I personally like the show, its also popular in countries like Dubai. The show makes everyone the bad guy which is why it get a lot of criticism from all sides. I don't think it's an anti-muslim show remember season 2, we were not the real bad guys in that season.
I didn't know where to post this so I'm posting it here.
For years, I've been always wondering, does my country have a martial art? I looked for it in sporting competitions, nothing the only martial arts practiced in sport events are Asian and Western martial arts. Just recently thanks to the...
