 ecko Member 'MMA Expert' Level 27 Posts: 1,782 Submissions: 66  | LINK Horrible... all these douchebags trying to suck all the money they can out of the MMA boom. I'm tired of these "Never back down", "Fighting", "Red Belt" movies... This is just horrible. They appeal to the modern retard who thinks he can be a fighter. |

Deny! Deny! Deny! |

I love men. |

 MR2Junkie Member 'Cunning Linguist' Level 21 Posts: 1,709 Submissions: 74 | Those remind me of the "McDojos" that popped up all over the place after Karate Kid hit it big. Being a decently higher ranking practitioner of the martial arts, that shit pissed me off when I was younger. |

DeadLazyBum Site Admin '♥' Level 33 Posts: 2,964 Submissions: 137 | I don't take fighting classes, and I wasn't ranked high in any martial arts, and these movie trends still bug me. First it was like 30 dance movies. Then remaking every movie ever done. Now fighting movies. People need some originality. They are definitely paid enough for it. |

ecko Member 'MMA Expert' Level 27 Posts: 1,782 Submissions: 66 | It should bug everybody with a fucking brain. What's worse is that Cung Le, a real amazing MMA fighter is in this movie and he gets beat... but the fucking Step Up guy. Quote: Those remind me of the "McDojos" that popped up all over the place after Karate Kid hit it big.

They are starting to pop up too, claiming they teach MMA, when they are a karate school that only wants money. |

MR2Junkie Member 'Cunning Linguist' Level 21 Posts: 1,709 Submissions: 74 | I finally just saw the commercial for that Fighting movie. It looks retarded. Back when I took martial arts, my instructor was a first generation Korean, 7th degree black belt. He taught us more than the art. He taught us the respect, how to say commands in Korean, and humility. He'd purposely spar with the students every other week. I got my ass kicked all of the time by him, but he did it to teach us hands on. |

Not some watered down version of the style. That's exactly how my boxing gym is. There is no bullshitting there. |
