A study of martial arts in the movies is a subject that may be too short for a two hour television special. The result however ends up as an insightful look at many martial arts films that may not have yet been enjoyed by the North American majority. Hosted by Samuel L.

I remember going to some of these rehearsals he often had. There seemed to be quite a number of talented people there. Duke Panache however didn't seem to know very much about martial arts. I gave him the benifit of doubt but he couldnt even perform a simple front roll. Most of the choreographing sort of involved people kicking and punching around him and falling down while he would sort of swing his arms around. I dont know, you guys take a look for youselves. he's got some sites up. Be warned though, there's a lot of ego there....

ok guys i was at the duke rehearsals too. was very impressed. great martial artists .. great choreography and duke's a great leader. yes he had to reject a lot of wannabes like close to 450 so a few of those he rejected obviously started posted negative comments. but he does know his stuff as a martial artist or else how would he lead such a large team of experts? He also did speak a lot about Bodhi Dharma and seemed to know his stuff as well. People should stop hating and being jealous and just be positive man. Let everyone do their own thing and be happy. Thats what true martial arts is about. But yes, the more famous Duke becomes the more he will have to put up with nonsense ... its what being a star is about. I was there and have nothing but good things to say .. hope to work with him again in some future production. Peace Out. PS: The stuff about his website is fictional BS -- anyone can see his site and know that its very well done.
