    RZA seems to know how bad at action Finn Jones is, so his sets are not that well lit. It's still the second best episode in the whole run.

    So I had some thoughts on why this show was such a steaming dumptruck of fail

    The tl;dr is that you don't get good kung fu action out of a creative team who have no experience with kung fu.

    It may be the same here in Toronto. Frankly I was very lucky to come across NBDMA when I was a kid - since people who cross-train TCMA with boxing and jjj are bloody rare. The sad truth is that my...

    It's the "no sharps by mail" thing that's bugging me. It's a strip of metal in a wood case. It can't harm anybody unless a postal worker takes it out of the packaging and starts waving it around.

    At my old school I never saw anything beyond a bit of healthy rivalry. But there were a few barely mentioned rumours of this or that person who left under a dark cloud.

    I beg to differ.

    You don't learn everything from sparring but you won't finish learning the hip throw until you ditch the compliant drills.
