Fearless

One of the most eagerly anticipated movie for me this year is Fearless of cuz. Didn't had the chance to catch it on cinema so i had to wait for some kind fella to share it in the intranet. I waited and waited and it finally came. There were ppl sharing it earlier..but it was cinema version but i only wanna watch the dvd ripped version. So finally after waiting since cny i finally get to watch it on my beloved pc.

Personally i think it was a great movie, really enjoyed it. It's kinda enlightening to a certain extend. To me 'humility' is the theme of the story. I think the reason why Jet Li did so well in the Hua Yuan Jia role is because that is the way he is in person. Obviously not the earlier self-centered Hua Yuan Jia but the one who has gone through humility. When ur at that level, definately u have nothing to prove. Able to walk tall and accept everything that comes ur way. That really reminds me of wat my master used to say. So it's kinda meaningful to think of it.... I believe most ppl who likes martial arts or rather people who understands the real meaning of martial arts will enjoy this movie. Well i'm not gonna talk bout ' yeh so' but something which i've learned recently , martial arts is not about fighting , nopez it's not bout the art of it also but it's about PEACE & FREEDOM.

For me martial arts is something which is very much related to our way of life. Unfortunately it's sad to see that there's a lot of ppl who learns martial arts but they just seem to lack the spirit, determination or probably understanding. I think most ppl dun try to understand it or most probably they dun haf a master who truly understands martial arts to guide them. Most masters nowadays concentrate more on the fitness part of it or the sporst part of it neglecting the real meaning of martial arts.
Besides that, most people today practise martial arts today are focused more to achievement oriented. To some people black belt is like everything. Some of them make it as if black belt are world beaters. Probably it's cuz of the way the society look so highly of black belts.
For instance, frequently ask question when people know that ur involve in martial arts.

Are you black belt?
If your answer is no, then physciologically people tend to have the thought that's ur still just a small fry.

But if ur answer is yes, then the reaction will be huge, it'll be as if ur world beater, can be a part time assasin adi or watever.

It's seriously laughable to think of it. As for me i don't like to judge people that way. Even if a person is wearing black belt that will not be enough for me to respect the person. The person has to earn the respect and vice versa. That is how mutual respect works for me. For me the key is action speak louder than words. I am really glad that i am able to learn from my current master, Shihan Jimmy. I really think he's one of the best all-rounder around today. It amazes me that why he so low-profile when there are not so good masters manage to get into the media. But then again i respect wat he's doing and i think he's one of those who already reached the level , when ur dat good u just have ntg to prove, and that's when ur fearless able to walk tall.

To be a great martial artist i believe we need to be open minded. I just don't agree when they say Karate- Taekwondo martial artist can't see eye to eye. I think that's just bullshit. It depends on how much ur willing to open ur mind.
