One Battle After Another Review: Ambitious 2025 Thriller That Misses Its Mark
26 Sep 2025Anderson's 2025 thriller One Battle After Another tries to juggle action, black comedy, and a father‑daughter drama but ends up tangled in tonal chaos.

Critics point to frantic pacing, weak character arcs, and an indecisive tone as the main flaws.

Is Karate or Wing Chun suitable to mix with Aikido?
27 Jul 2023In exploring the combination of Aikido with either Karate or Wing Chun, it seems that both can be suitable pairings, depending on personal preference. Karate, with its emphasis on striking and kicking, could complement Aikido's focus on using an opponent's movements against them.

However, it's essential to remember that blending martial arts styles should be done thoughtfully to ensure the integrity of each style is maintained. Ultimately, it's about finding what works best for you and your personal martial arts journey.

How effective is ninjitsu in a street fight?
5 May 2023In my recent exploration of martial arts, I delved into the effectiveness of ninjitsu in a street fight scenario. From my research, ninjitsu offers a wide range of techniques that can provide a strategic advantage in unpredictable situations. However, its effectiveness largely depends on the practitioner's skill level and ability to adapt to real-life confrontations. While certain ninjitsu techniques can be practical for self-defense, it's essential to remember that no single martial art guarantees success in every situation. Overall, I believe that ninjitsu can be a useful tool in a street fight, but one must also consider other factors and training to ensure personal safety.

In Aikido (martial arts) how do you get your 'ki'?
14 Mar 2023Aikido is a martial art which focuses on the use of ‘ki’, or spiritual energy. To access one’s ‘ki’, practitioners need to learn how to sense and move with the energy around them.
