Karate Kids
2011-06-27 18:11:00 If it's Wednesday, it means my boys are complaining. They don't want to go to Karate. Actually, it's not really Karate. The class they go to is a martial arts blend, but when they started taking lessons five years ago, somehow saying, "Put on your shoes, it's time to go to your Degerberg Academy Martial Arts Blend," seemed a little much. The boys are getting ready for their green belts and about a month ago their sensei asked me, "Are you ready for the war?" Huh? "The war that's going to break out when one of them gets promoted and the other one doesn't?""Uh oh."...

Review - The Karate Kid
2010-06-19 03:55:00 by David SchusterJackie Chan and Jaden SmithWhat do you know - a remake that actually was pretty good. This summer has been one remake or sequel after another, and most of them have been crap-ola but "The Karate Kid" broke the recent mold. The remake has some subtle differences then the original but is mostly a carbon copy. This time the frail kid is played by Jaden Smith, whose face is a young dead ringer for his Dad (Will) while the Kung Fu master is played by Jackie Chan. Chan of course has made a living of his comedic karate roles, but this time he leaves most of the comedy behind and shows both a serious and sensitive side. Once again the...
Review - The Karate Kid (****)
2010-06-14 22:01:00 The Karate Kid. 140 mins. PG. Directed by Harald Zwart. Written by Christopher Murphey. Starring Jaden Smith, Jackie Chan, and Taraji P. Henson. I'll be the first to admit that I had grave reservations about this loose remake of the 1984 classic starring Ralph Macchio and Pat Morita, and those reservations were threefold. First, I love the original Karate Kid, and saw no need to revisit it and trample upon its memory so soon. Second, Jaden Smith kind of irritates me. He's not a bad actor (especially in Pursuit of Happyness), but he carries an air of attitude and overentitlement that just doesn't sit well with me. Third, Smith's character does kung-fu, NOT karate. Why isn't Sony calling this The Kung-Fu Kid?! But pre-release...
Box office blog: 'Karate Kid' beats the stuffing out of 'The
2010-06-13 20:41:00 In reality, I'm going to guess that Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, an MMA star and star of the '80s TV adaptation "The A-Team," could probably hold his own against Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan, stars of the revamped "The Karate Kid."Not at the box office, though. The new, not very good "Karate" took in a very strong $56 million to top the sporadically enjoyable "A-Team," which placed second with $26 million. That's not an awful debut, but it's also a wide defeat against another '80s reboot that seemed even less justified.At No. 3 was "Shrek Forever After," earning another $15.8 million to bring the terrible, lazy movie's total to $210 million so far. Blah, and blah some more. Down at No....

2009-10-07 20:07:00 Scout’s Honor is poking at me and telling me to blog. This is after she viciously rick rolled me yesterday without remorse. Hrrmmppphh. I’m still recovering.

The Difference Between Karate and Tae Kwon Do
2008-05-27 00:00:00 The two most common martial arts practiced in North America are karate and tae kwon do. Many wonder what the difference between these two martial arts is.

Karate and Longevity
2008-05-21 00:00:00 There is a saying that Shorin-Ryu instructors live at least to the age of 85. Of course, this is not always true, but there is a certain element of longevity assumed in Karate training. Is it true that Karate instructors live longer than the average person?

What makes Taekwondo different to Karate?
2008-05-15 10:11:00 Seems there is a lot of confusion about the difference, and which is "better" between Taekwondo and Karate. There are some fundamental differences of course:Taekwondo is has a focus on destruction and high spinning kicks. These are distinctly Korean aspects of martial arts. As a result, Taekwondo practitioners will have a tendancy to use kicks at least as much, if not more than hand techniques, particularly in competition. Karate (which means "empty hand" incidentally) typically focuses more on hand techniques.Taekwondo comes from Korea. Karate originates in Okinawa. Both are really international martial arts today with high Dan grades of different nationalities to the art's founder country spread across the globe. Korean martial arts were influenced by Japanese styles during the Japanese occupation of Korea. But the flipside is that some distinctly Korean techniques (destruction & high spinning kicks) made their way into Japanese styles.Taekwondo has just two major styles - WT...
