Watched the Bokator vid. Pretty interesting. It actually looks like a lot like the depiction of MT in Ong Bak.

I also noticed that about halfway through part 2 the guy does what looks like a kata, which is interesting because I don't think most people associate pre-arranged movement sets with Southeast asian martial arts.

Ludo, you should go do that one month certificate program.

I don't have the money to go to Cambodia for a month. Plus I think I'm too tall for most of those techniques. Even Antonio was having trouble with the low attacks and he doesn't look much taller than the guy he's fighting. I'm 6'2".

Just got done watching Ong Bak 2. Not as good as the first one, but still pretty good. Tony Jaa is crazy.

I don't think I've seen any of the Ong Bak sequels. I need to check them out.

Did you see The Protector? That's a crazy fucking movie.

I was going to but I saw alot of bad reviews on it so I wasn't sure if I should bother.
