    A dark comedy set in the world of karate. The film centers on Casey (Jesse Eisenberg), who is attacked at random on the street and enlists in a local dojo led by a charismatic and mysterious Sensei (Alessandro Nivola), in an effort to learn how to defend himself. What he uncovers is a sinister world of fraternity, violence and hypermasculinity and a woman (Imogen Poots) fighting for her place in it. Casey undertakes a journey, both frightening and darkly funny, that will place him squarely in the sights of his enigmatic new mentor.

    I'm very curious about it. Specially because the dojo that is portrayed looks like what karateka call a "McDojo". We see overpricing, indifference from the instructor, katana training (not from karate at all), and people doing terrible stances right at the beginning.
    I think that it's part of the plot for the dojo to be bad, and somehow this will change through the movie.

    • @safnhuo
      @safnhuo Před 5 lety +16

      In what way? I am a karateka and am aware of its limitations (and so also train in other martial arts) but in my limited experience TKD seems even more limited than karate from a self defense perspective. Barely any focus on hand techniques or grappling/wrestling/throwing. Try doing a jumping spinning hook kick to the head when your on the streets and wearing skinny jeans.

      @@Carell117 Well the specific kick you described was originally designed to knock heavy armored soldiers off horseback so actually using that kick today would be silly. The point of it still being taught is not to be used but rather push the body past it's normal day to day expectation to be better prepared for anything at anytime. And if the TKD you're speaking of isn't ITF or USTF than it's probably not legit Taekwondo. My instructor and I taught plenty of hand techniques and grappling. But yes it's always beneficial to cross train. No one art is ultimately superior. Also skinny jeans? Really don't think those were around when ANY martial art was created lol
