Fictional Martial Arts

[Xue Sheng]

I just noticed this was linked to the world wide MA page.

http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery;jsessionid=2a82x38ad11en?tname=list-of-fictional-martial-arts&sbid=lc05a

Now this fictional style has some hefty prerequisits

Kaio-ken (literally "fist of the gods") is the martial art taught by North Kaio to Son Goku during the year he spends dead.

Apparently one must be dead to learn.

hehehehehehe.. There are so many great fintional arts.. Here is one:

The Sinanju training enables one to hold one's breath over an hour, rip steel doors from their hinges, climb walls, dodge bullets (even at point blank range), overturn a moving tank, outrun a car, seem invisible, overcome multiple opponents, etc...

Here is the link to the full entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinanju

I remeber watching this movie as a youngster thinking "WOW... I wann learn THAT!" *grin*

Me too,

The dodging bullets thing was sub-zero cool. :teleport:

I remember that movie too, and although I did think it was pretty cool at the time, what I remember most is, and I couldn't get past, Joel Grey of Cabaret fame made up to look Chinese as Chiun.

Didn't Joel walk on water in that one?

Yeah... water with waves, no less!

 

[Nevada_MO_Guy]

Didn't Joel walk on water in that one?

Yeah, more of a jog.

Told Remo, one must run very fast.

The captain of the USS Voyager was in that one also. She was the lady Chiun shut up by tapping on her wrist.....nighty night.

Chun was not Chinese, he said himself that the Korean was the greatest creature to ever bless the earth with the imprint of it's foot. Yes, I've seen it too.

Ohh I remember that! Very funny!

Is this from 'The Adventure Begins?' If so, it has been playing on EACTV (I think it stands for Encore Action TV). Dish Network has been offering a free preview of EACTV on channel 298.

When watching, I had a difficult time suspending my disbelief in Chiun as Korean.

I haven't seen the whole movie yet.

I remember reading the Destroyer series when I was in the Marines. There were several books, including one where Remo had a fight to the death with Chiun's evil brother Nuihc.

Random trivia in honor of my 1933rd post: The original King Kong was released in 1933.

Ohh I remember that! Very funny!

Then, there is the fictional Klingom martial art of Mok'bara from the Star Trek series. It is a full martial art with the bat'leth being its main weapon. Click here for a pic of that weapon:

I say it is fictional, but people teach Klingon martial art seminars at conventions and at regional Klingon Empire meetings. Click here for more on that:
http://www.klingon.org/smboard/index.php/topic,34.0.html

There was a book written several years back using picture and showing techniques just as any martial art book would. You can find it on Amazon.com and see reviews of it there.

Back in Feb of 2005, Inside Kung-Fu did a feature on the Klingon martial art but it was badly written and fell far short of the fanboy dream it could have been.

Yes, I am a bit of a fanboy myself. I started formal training when I was 15 due to my heroes in comic books training and fighting using martial arts. Fifteen years and two black belts later, I am still a fanboy at heart.

Wow, didn't know about those.

 

[FearlessFreep]

I like "Panzer Kunst" from the "Battle Angel Alita" manga. Don't quite know what it's about, but Alita seems to use it very effectively

 

[Xue Sheng]

I just saw this in the list

This has got to be my favorite,

Tae-Kwon-Leep

"Ed Gooberman, you fail to grasp Tae-Kwon Leep. Approach me so that you may see."

"Boot to the head!"
