That goes with every skill you need to develop , no short cuts . you did the same when you learned the piano ,did you not ?
Brazil and Japan have some kind of cultural integration , too many people of japanese origin are in Brazil .
You know Lyoto Machida ? well his dad is japanese and high ranking shotokan master ,Machida himself is of shotokan school learned from his dad ,if you watch him fight in UFC you can see the elements of shotokan in his fight .....disappointingly he lost a fight by knockout a couple of weeks ago against a very good fighter .

Yes, I remember that movie very well. I was just thinking of it when you guys started this thread. Any idea where I can download or get a copy?
Not to change topics, but I think Parviz Sayyad was one of the geniuses of social satire. My favorite of course is Hasan Kachal. I watched it as a kid and fell asleep. But I watched it again in my 30s and thought it was one of the funniest, most clever movies made. Of course his whole Samad series are also pretty funny, as well as his other work. He also did a movie in US shortly after the revolution. I do not remember the name, but it had an intro by Orson Wells I think. It was about a military man who had escaped Iran and an assassin that was sent to kill him. Although fairly low budget, I though it was very well made. Sayyad was the ex-officer and I believe he also directed it. I may be remembering wrong though.
By the way, I met him in a very small social gathering at someone's house about 20 years ago. He is very witty in person as well.

I know who he is Loyoto Machida funny you mentioned him, I just watched one of his fights the other day of course he is a bit older now but in his prime, he more than held his own. Oh and yes you are right my man there are no short cuts I didn't take it in piano and i don't take it in mauy thay boxing jiu jitsu or judo. If you want to MASTER you need to study like 10 -15 years so I get that. Of course we are talking the level of mastery and that I guess is just my mentality in anything. If I am going to do something, I'm going to put 100% passion into it and leave it all out in the ring or octagon. I don't want to look back 10-15 years later and say, "I wish I would have trained harder," or "I wish I would have done this...or that." No regrets no retreat and no surrender.
Arash good call my man.
@ Gaines I wish I knew who you were referring to but this is probably way before my time.
Oh does anyone know the actors Ejra Neshina, my favorite two guys and my favorite Irooni film. One was a karate dude and in one scene, he gets blown up lol. I also loved the Opera dude and the other guy that was funny was the dad, who constantly punked his son.

you are spot on about Sayyad, he is a genius indeed ,his swan lake with Marry Apeek was another brilliant piece ,must be on youtube somewhere , I had the exact feeling about Hassan Kachal .
The film you are referring to is called Ferestaadeh and the storyline is just like you said .
Maybe try GLWIZ for the Sammad movie ...

Lol I heard about this movie, I got to watch this one. If anyone can find me the clip though of the fat Karate dude blowing up in Ejra Neshina, that would make my day. He picks up the phone, the chagokesh guys statter then seconds later the poor guy blows up hahaha only in Iran. That movie is like over an hr so later on tonight I got to watch it. I tried searching on you tube I tried typing Ejra Neshina or funny Iranian movies Ejra Neshina and I couldn't find the scene. That part of the movie cracks me up every time.

Amazing, look what I found.
This is fantastic, I just ignored it at the first place, but it came to my mind gradually.......just listen to the intro music of the movie.
It's a cover on "Ombra mai fu" the opening aria from the "Serse (Xerxes the great persian King)" year 1738 by George Frideric Handel.
