Ong Bak 2

YO!Have you catch it yet?(Points up)
Haha.That's right,the long awaited Ong Bak 2 is out!
I managed to catch this 97 minutes long action packed film with my bros at AMK Hub this afternoon.
The fighting scenes were really splendid,storyline was average but the ending was unsatisfactory.Well,reviews mentioned that the reason why the show have to end in such horrible way was due to budget and negotiation problems.
But it is always nice to see Tony Jaa cracking bones and whooping ass;all filled with adrenaline rush.
Overall I would rate the third Tony Jaa movie 3.5/5.
On the other hand,one particular matter i don't understand is that why must the movie be rated NC16?Yes,the movie is indeed violent but it's ain't gory.
Surely,children below 16 can watch it for entertainment.Meanwhile,even Jack Neo's new comedy film,Love Matters is rated NC16?This is really atrocious because the film was meant for families to enjoy together especially when the Lunar New Year is approaching!
This is crazy,but it really doesn't bother me because I am gonna be 16 this year!Hehe.

Self defence against a knife strike

Attached will show and explain how to defend yourself against a knife strike.
Step 1 would be the most prominent and important step.When the assailant is charging at you aggressively,DO NOT panic but instead move forward.Immediately move and parry to either side as you avoid the cutting range while you block and grab the assailant's arm.
Step 2,you can follow up with any strikes like an eye gorge,an elbow or a knee to the groin.This weakens and distracts the assailant.
Step 3,to get rid of the knife from the assailant's hand,you can either push the blade downwards or deliver a knee onto his arm.The assailant will feel the pain and release the knife.
From there,you can either chose to run,call the police or pin him .
