Boxing for 2 whole years during puberty or adolescence is very life-shaping, especially for a girl. And yeah, ofcourse she can relate to the movie in question.

As for the movie: Meh.

Too bad it formed a shape drawn by someone with parkinson's disease...

Saw it on HBO a while back. Liked how even though she won, it didn't permanently strain their relationship...

Man this thread reminds me of this movie I rented from Blockbuster because it was about a female muaythai fighter. Well it turned out to be this very compelling story of a strange karate instructor who trains one of his female students to fight as a professional muaythai fighter. After winning her 4th fight she decides to take on the men's heavyweight world champion (who was her karate instructor's old rival). They have an epic and very brutal back and forth battle where she ends up pummeling the champ so mercilessly that she kills him. She then goes punch drunk CRAZY and goes on a rampage. Her karate instructor tries to subdue her but her mad crazy rage is too much for him and she kills him too. The end!

I wish I could remember the name of the movie, it was a real gem.

Seriously? My sarcasm detector may be broken here but that sounds fucking amazing.

Hate to disappoint man, but I read somewhere she's a lesbian.

However, I might have misread and it might have just been that she's open minded. Which makes for a far better wednesday evening.

Are you implying the Karate in Street Fighter is Shotokan?
Just to let you know, its not. That entire idea came from -one- poor translation for the SNES version of the game, which has stuck in the US for quite some time. It was later "corrected" to Ansatsuken, which is also wrong. Ryu's karate is loosely based off Kyokushin mythology(infamous Kyokushin vs Muay Thai thing) and Karate stereotypes (Karate Kid).

The correct Martial Art by Ken/Ryu/Gouken in the Street Fighter series is best described as

Spoiler:

The only shotokan fighter in the entire series is Mokoto.

I honestly didn't care that much, but nevertheless, I stand corrected. I read that it was Shotokan years ago, and I did Shotokan at the time.

I fucked up. Sorry.
