Damn, that looks like a really well-made film. It looks like it still holds up pretty well today even though it's almost 35 years old.

I'd like to see the whole thing. Let me know if you're able to track it down.

Speaking of 70s-era martial arts docs, have you ever heard of one called Fighting Black Kings?

Never heard of it.

Boyz n the Hood?

It apparently won some awards, there is a wiki article on it. Looks like it has a karate section too.

I am going to pick it up on dvd, but there a bunch of torrents out there

Cool, thanks. I'm gonna grab a hold of that shit ASAP.

Never heard of it.

It's a documentary on Koyokushin that follows three American competitors through their journey to compete in the world championships. It's pretty good.

Here's part 1. If you don't like it then you probably wouldn't get into the rest.

I am watching "Resident" with Hilary Swank right now. Jeffrey Dean Morgan is playing a real creep in this one.

That actually looks pretty interesting. I will probably check that out. Is the whole thing on YT?

I have not traditionally been a documentary guy, but I watched "Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room." A couple weeks back, and it has sort of renewed my interest.

I wonder how many people are signed up here and just lurk in here and think to themselves how weird we all are?

It appears that the whole thing is on YouTube, yeah. The training segments are particularly interesting and occasionally brutal. This is what I would call the golden age of karate in the United States.

I watched the Enron doc a few years ago and loved it. It's extremely well done. But I love documentaries in general.
