As an
Karate skilled person I am always interested in other martial arts. Some of the most successful martial art forms are listed below. If I should pick a favorite then it would surely be Russian
Sambo and mixed with Israelian
Krav Maga.
Savate - a fighting style which involves more kicks than any other martial art. Savate has french origins and was practiced as a timekiller among the french sailors to devour time when on board a ship. In Savate it is common to make use of what ever you can hold on to - to assure your foothold. Which means that you can practice Savate drunk - to a certain degree. Savate is fought with shoes on and specifically with steel enforced toe tips. Savate is a medium range martial art.
Krav Maga is an Israelian martial art. Krav Maga is very brutal and the key to this art is getting your opponent to the ground and out of condition to continue. Krav Maga is especially target against combat where there is little room. Krav Maga is also a martial art which does excellent against armed counterparts. Krav Maga let you utilize targets as throath, eyes and other very soft tissue spots. Very brutal and very fierce. But less useful against martials arts where space is of essense like Tae Kwon Doo.
Sambo is a martial art which origins from Russia. Sambo uses a mix of strikes, kicks and submissions. Sambo is a brutal art form and it is extremely practical. One of my absolute favorites. Sambo can be use in close combat aswell as longer range fighting like Savate. Sambo is also one of the martial art forms which has proven to be a successful martial art as it several times has proven superior in the Octagon at UFC. If you ever consider practical fighting then look towards a Sambo training facility. Sambo is also good against armed counterparts.
Pradal Serey originates from Cambodia. The style is like Muay Thai just more brutal. Pradal Serey is most known from the movie
Bloodsport, where Jean-Claude Van Damme's final fight is against a Pradal Serey fighter. Pradal Serey utilizes knees, elbows aswell as feet and hands. Pradal Serey is not known for it's submissions as it is a striking and kicking martial art form.
Silat originates from Malaysia. Silat is fierce and brutal martial art form. Silat is an attack-first combat form, it is not a passive form like Aikido or other more reaction based martial art forms. Every Silat move has a counter move and most Silat moves open up a vide range of finishing moves to bring your opponent down.
Eastern Promises is a hardcore movie about the darkest sides of crime syndicates and how a beast can control people with fear. This is a Viggo Mortensen (Nikolai) at his best. Better than in Lord of The Rings, if you ask me.

Rush Hour 3, is as the previous 2 Rush Hour movies. It would seem that Chris Tucker has become less foolish and upped his cool factor a little. At the same time Jackie Chan has become more fluent in his language and he even sings - wow!. Anyway a nice satueday morning hang over movie which can be watched more than once. So it lands on a score of 6.5 of 10.
American Pie - Beta House is the 6th movie in the American Pie serie. No. 1 was refreshing and nice and no. 3 ( American Wedding ) also. No. 4, epsecially 5 and also 6 turned it into a farce. The fun has gone away, the increased the amount of naked tits and ass alot this time...By calculation, of the top of my head, I'd say that there is only 1 scene where there isn't any tits showing. And that is when the guys end up in jail for 20mins. Eugene Levy is still there, but he is the only physical link to the first 3 movies in this serie. Otherwise it is about another Stifler and his buddies needing to complete 50 tasks to become a Beta house member. And some mainly sex-related relatioships with 4 girls. There is a stripbar and some horse semen included in this movie. Go watch it if you like boobs in movies. I give it a 4 of 10.
The Kingdom is one of several all war movies. The whole thing circles around the "War Against Terror". Anyway, I recon you will pay more respect to this movie if you are an American. As an European I cannot eat this movie up as a good one which lines out things are they are or are suppose to be. The "War Against Terror" seem to have cost more bloodshed than the terror itself.
