Enter

Bruce Lee brings much more to the film than just finely crafted
action though, and that's the belief in him and his martial art
philosophies which he delivers on screen to great effect. Really it's just
Lee being Lee, a larger than life character ...

Released shortly after his untimely death in 1973 Enter the Dragon
is rather ironically the film that would solidify Bruce Lee as an
international star, one whose small body of work on the silver screen
would forever be immortalised and has naturally seen numerous releases on
the DVD format.

insider's guide to the Asian Games
What's it all about?
(CNN) -- The 15th Asian Games is taking place in Doha, the capital city of
the small Arabian state of Qatar. The cream of the continent's athletes
are in the oil-rich nation for the two-week extravaganza. The Briefing
Room brings you some facts and figures about an event dubbed the
"Asian Olympics."
Brian Bateman
Mastering
art of martial arts
Brian Bateman played soccer and wrestled when he
attended Gates Chili High School. Those sports were great, he said —
until he got hooked on martial arts. "It was exposure through
TV," said Bateman, 39. "It was the Bruce Lee thing, and some
Jet Li. In the '80s, there were movies all over the place, like The Karate
Kid."
Since then, Bateman has studied kung fu with a master in Hong Kong and
opened his own school, the Rochester Shaolin Kung Fu Training
Academy, at
425 Stone Road. Bateman is a Sifu, which roughly means "head of the
family;" his official title is chief instructor.
Experiencing
Korean art of self-defense
Master An with journalists and taekwondo students.
'Taekwondo'
truly represents an art of self-defense that is all and uniquely Korean. A
visit to Korea without experiencing the art of Taekwondo for oneself is
incomplete. Four journalists from the
Philippines and Brunei Darussalam including the writer had
the opportunity to experience for themselves the basic techniques of
Taekwondo in its true form during their recent visit to Seoul. They were
introduced to a master of the sport - Master Ryan An - at
his academy in Seoul.
Master Ryan An
has mastered Taekwondo for a number of years and his love for the sport
has encouraged him and his wife to establish their own Taekwondo academy
where they teach young children as well as foreign visitors to experience
the martial art for themselves.
jackie chan
The veteran action star says on his Web site that he reinjured his chest
while filming a fight scene for the movie "Rush Hour 3," but
doctors said it wasn't a major injury. WHAT HAPPENED: Chan said he was hit
by a steel-reinforced wooden table. The Web posting was dated Nov. 27.
Chan said he tried to work through the pain, wearing a stunt belt across
his upper chest and taking medication, but the movie's producers
eventually sent him to a doctor. An X-ray cleared him of broken bones or
organ injury, he said.

She's pretty, articulate and can break you in half. Las Vegas
native Lisa King, 33, fights in the muay Thai martial-arts style,
and if you want to see for yourself, tune in to the Oxygen channel
at 9 p.m. August 7 for the debut of Fight Girls. The film follows a
group of American women—trained by another Las Vegan, Master
Toddy—who compete for a chance to fight in Thailand, home of muay
Thai.
