"The Book of Eli"

The martial arts that we teach at Martial Arts Koncepts have been featured in a number of movies (like "300", "Fight Club", "The Crow", the "Bourne" series, and many more). The most recent film to feature not only the arts but some of our friends is "The Book of Eli" which started today (01/15/10). The fight choreographer for the film was Jeff Imada who trained Denzel Washington for several months prior to filming. Guro Dan Inosanto also spent some time working with Denzel to get him ready for the rigorous fight sequences. Hmmm... I wonder if Guro Dan mentioned Kettlebells to him! :)



NOTE: Went and saw the movie on the "big screen" with some of the folks from MAK. While we enjoyed the tightly choreographed fight scenes (kudos to Jeff Imada and Guro Dan) we all concluded that it will be an enjoyable DVD.
