See? There you go! Can't underrate Power Rangers..
We were following the Power Ranger you speak of here - Green Power Ranger to fight MMA - although it doesn't look like anyone's bothered to update that for the last two years. I know one Power Ranger stuntperson personally. That would be Tess. 'nuf said. ;)
Funny you should mention Hammer too. As you might know, I do some work for the music industry, and one of the most hardcore shows I've ever worked was a Hammer show. There was a huge riot, a gang war.
But more to the point, I feel ya on the loathing of that lazy kid. There's one in every group, it seems. The bottom line is martial arts ain't for everyone. However I think it's actually the loathing of those caricature 'masters' - the poseurs - that offends us most. It's all relative though. You know, given my position, I get the privilege of meeting many of the world's best masters. And I also still have my classmates, who are always trying to impress just like any classmate might. They'll show off some newly acquired technique and I have to just grin. Sure, they usually have a decent piece of it, but like I said, it's all relative.
Nice bit of thread necromancy there Djuan!
I see that CGTN has produced a whole series of video shorts on Kung Fu recently for their YouTube channel. They've been filling up my newsfeeds and I've been thinking about posting them on appropriate threads here as more grist for the mill. Thanks for taking care of this for me, Djuan. Good looking out. :cool:
