Matrix, Wushu, and the Roar of the Lion

Some psychoactive narcissistic vultures in the Smiths, a wonderful surprise cameo by The Great Roy Jones Jr. (which brings to my mind the Boxer Rebellion from 1899 to 1901 of Northern China where the Society of Righteous and Harmonious Fists, who’s many members practiced martial arts, kicked some Christian ass to flex for their homeland.) Brilliant boxer is Roy! Keanu and Carrie-Anne can Wushu! AND, of course, the EXCELLENT Honk Kong style fighting and stunts which I dig being a kendo-ka and karate-ka.

“Dhanurveda, a section found in the Vedas (1500 BCE – 1100 BCE) contains references to martial arts.^[7][8] Indian epics contain the earliest accounts of combat, both armed and bare-handed. Most deities of the Hindu-Buddhist pantheon are armed with their own personal weapon, and are revered not only as master martial artists but often as originators of those systems themselves.” wiki

It’s highly noted by this mind that combat fighting was, of course it’s universal, but there is say that much technique came from India. For example, Bodhidharma, being part of the spiritual diaspora, the 28th Patriarch of Buddhism> uninterrupted line that begins all the way back with the Gautama Buddha himself< once in China, needed to devise an exercise regime for his monks and so founded Shaolin kung fu which of course is the root of Japanese karate much through the lecture of a bible of sorts, the Bubishi. (please excuse me if I repeat perhaps from an earlier post, I don’t know) I have an Ukiyo-e of him meditating included the moon, on my fridge by Yoshitoshi 1(88)7.

The flick I loved, I think I may of screened it once drunk banging my forehead on a coffee table someplace, not sure…..oh yes!…..I remember the dancing and the sex at the party in Zion.

Did you guys know that Pope Francis was once a nightclub bouncer in his youth?

Haya! Too drunk!!

Keanu and Carrie-Anne can Wushu!!!
