My nephew got his yellow belt today in Tae-Kwon-Do!

However, I will need San to give my nephew personal lessons because he is an astute student, but a little wobbly and needs the sweet but stern encouragement that San can give.

"Brawl Busters" (1978) was a martial arts film that was advertised as being from the "Chinese Black Belt Society" in an opening card. Not only does this group not exist, the movie isn't even Chinese, but Korean. It was common for a lot of Korean films of this era to be set in China and have a Hong Kong cast. The film also was said to star "Black Jack Chan," who not only was not in the film, but also doesn't exist at all. As the images above show, it is a female led martial arts film.

This deeply strange credit to a made up Kung Fu Society and a claim to star a completely made up Chinese leading man was because, as surprising as it is to consider today, there was a time when it was extremely rare to have any entertainment come out of South Korea, and the producers figured it would have a bigger audience in Asia if this film was thought to be from Hong Kong. If it was known to be Korean, it would come off as a knockoff, which, to be fair, it completely was. South Korea was under military rule until the 1980s, and nearly all of its early entertainment industry was based on the blueprint of the cultural capital of Asia in the 70s-80s, Hong Kong, like Hitman in the Hand of Buddha, Woman Avenger (a Korean version of the very Chinese story of Wing Chun, famously played a decade later by Michelle Yeoh). Korean films of this era had many Hong Kong stars like Angela Mao, who made Hapkido and When Taekwondo Strikes in the early 70s there as joint Korean/Chinese productions. It also went both ways: many Korean talent in this era had to emigrate Korea to get into showbusiness, like "Thunderfoot" Hwang Jang Lee. After all...who ever heard of getting famous in entertainment in South Korea, anyway?

Hello Phi ! Do you know why in Thai BL, male characters can be swimmers and all kind of ballers but we have very few martial artists and in particular Muay Thai boxers ? No boxing clubs love stories ? There is a fight in Not me and The Eclipse played around with Judo a bit but I never seen a Thai show do what Where your eyes linger did with Jujitsu. Much love.

Second Chance has a Muay Thai story arc and I think there is at least one other. Ah yes, erm... what was that BounPrem vehicle called... Even Sun!

Judo/JJ shows up in Blue of Winter and Tasty Florida as well.

Honestly, I don't know why not more. Maybe it's not considered sexy? There actually are comparatively few sports romances for the gay romance genre which frankly LOVES these, usually.

Pronunciation Guide for Fighting Games

A lot of people tend to say words and names wrong. For those who care, this guide should help with proper pronunciation. In particular, what syllables are stressed, proper spelling, and so on. This'll help you not look and sound like ignorant gaijin (gai-jeen) when talking to Asian players.

Again, if this doesn't bother you (and I acknowledge that for the vast majority of the FGC it doesn't), feel free to ignore this guide. Just don't get on everyone else's case, please. Also, don't use this guide to act smug towards your peers.

In short, this is to help people who want to be helped. That's all. Please understand. If there are any mistakes, let me know.

Note: Unfortunately, Mortal Kombat will be ignored for this guide, as saying Japanese words wrong is a franchise tradition, so it'd be a lost cause even trying. If you see any familiar words from that series, just bear in mind the proper pronunciation for everywhere else.

Letters/syllables in bold are sounds to be stressed when saying that word or name, if necessary.

Return of the Mount Hua Sect

Summary and Links Below

The 13th disciple of the Mount Hua Sect, one of the greatest third generation swordsmen, the Plum Blossom Sword Saint: Chung Myung. After defeating the Heavenly Demon and ending his reign of chaos, Chung Myung breathed his last on the summit of the Heavenly Demon Sect’s mountain.

Hundreds of years passed, and he was revived as a child.

But… What was that? Mount Hua Sect has fallen? What kind of bullshit is that!?

Was he supposed to just live his life knowing that?

“Fallen? Who said that? That doesn’t matter!”

The plum blossoms fall? After a cold winter, spring comes and the plum blossoms come into full bloom once again.

“But before the Mount Hua Sect returns, I need to be there first! Even if it’s in ruins, there has to be something left there—Ugh, those people in there!”

And so began the struggle of the Plum Blossom Sword Saint, Chung Myung, to save the fallen Mount Hua Sect.

Korean Martial Arts Taekwondo: A Masterpiece of Discipline and Technique

Introduction

In the realm of martial arts, few disciplines have garnered as much global recognition and acclaim as Taekwondo. This centuries-old Korean martial art is not only a form of self-defense but also a way of life for those who dedicate themselves to its practice. In this comprehensive article, we delve deep into the rich history, techniques, and philosophies that make Taekwondo stand out as a symbol of discipline and excellence. By understanding the core essence of Taekwondo, you will gain valuable insights that can help you appreciate and excel in this unique martial art form.

The Historical Origins of Taekwondo

Taekwondo, often referred to as "The Way of the Hand and Foot," has a history steeped in Korean tradition. Its roots can be traced back over two millennia to the Korean Three Kingdoms period. Initially known as "Subak" or "Taekkyeon," Taekwondo was developed as a means of self-defense against external threats and to maintain peace and order within the Korean peninsula. It was influenced by various martial arts practices, including Chinese martial arts and indigenous Korean combat techniques.

The Evolution of Taekwondo

Over the centuries, Taekwondo continued to evolve, adapting to changing times and incorporating various influences. It wasn't until 1955 that Taekwondo as we know it today was officially established. General Choi Hong-hi, often regarded as the "Father of Taekwondo," played a crucial role in shaping the modern martial art. Under his leadership, Taekwondo was unified, and a structured system of techniques and forms was developed.

The Core Principles of Taekwondo

Discipline

One of the fundamental principles of Taekwondo is discipline. Practitioners are encouraged to maintain unwavering self-discipline, both inside and outside the dojang (training area). Discipline is the key to achieving excellence in Taekwondo, as it helps individuals develop mental and physical fortitude.
