Hollywood Whitewashing

Let me first say this, I am no where close to thinking that I am an Asian Activist of some sort, nor am I one of those fools that proclaim “ASIAN PRIDE!!!” at the top of my lungs like an idiot. No, I merely hate everyone equally. Also, there are cultural differences that we all take note on, whether it is used as a joke or something to insult, doesn’t affect me all that much because…well, that’s how the world works. We’re just different.

But there are some topics that irk the SHIT out of me; and being someone that “works in the industry,” this one has been bugging me the most.

Look at that shitty fucking front stance. Fuck, his name is Aang, not Andrew or some shit.

Why the FUCK are Asians not good enough to play LEAD ASIAN ROLES?

Martial Arts vs. Martial Sports

First off, I’m going to say that it’s impossible to find a particular video that wouldn’t illicit any ill feelings towards any style when it comes to the topic of martial arts. So here’s the best I can do for this particular topic:

Let me just give a brief overview on the video. It’s Kyokushin Karate vs. San Shou (Shorin-ken) but it’s not world class fighters fighting, but 11 year olds battling it out. I wanted to show this because if you really watch them, the kids fully envelop their styles and move so naturally within it. Sometimes, kids like these show a better understanding and application of the basics of martial arts rather than more experienced fighters.

To which I want to lead into the main topic of this post, the difference between learning Martial Arts or Martial Sports. With the great boom of interest towards MMA with the help of UFC and WEC, are we seeing the end of the appreciation of traditionally taught martial arts?

3 Things That Women Want From A Guy – According to Kyra

Hey guys, sorry I haven’t been posting much.
My life has been taking turns that I am having problem navigating. I usually am able to drift through these with certain ease but let’s say I’m going through really tough hairpins and I have to take it slow.
Hence the slowdown in the posting – trying to catch up to the race, you know?

Anyways, back to the blog.

Anyone remember this movie?

Well, according to a good friend of mine, Kyra; apparently, women want 3 simple things from guys. WHAT?!
