| A Martial Artist's View Of The Film: "Gandhi" | | 2008-08-26 11:00:01 | | A Martial Artist's View Of The Film: "Gandhi" was written by Dr. Gary S. GoodmanMohandas Gandhi was one of the central figures who compelled the British to relinquish control of India, their colony, until 1947.He is best known for endorsing a philosophy of nonviolent opposition to injustice, but don’t let that fool you.As this film stunningly shows, Gandhi was one of the toughest souls to walk the Earth.What do you think is more indicative of a true martial artist: (1) Someone who is willing t... | | By: Boxing - Fighting Center | | |
| | A Martial Artist's View Of The Film: "Forrest Gump" | | 2008-08-26 07:44:29 | | A Martial Artist's View Of The Film: "Forrest Gump" was written by Dr. Gary S. GoodmanWhen the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences does a Tom Hanks retrospective, I hope they pass quickly over the cute films, such as “Big” and “The Burbs,” and “Sleepless In Seattle,” entertaining as they may have been.I think they should cut directly to a montage of the tough and gritty guys he has played in films like “Saving Private Ryan,” “Road To Perdition,” “Apollo 13,” and... | | By: Boxing - Fighting Center | | |
| | Martial Artist Says: Right Makes Might! | | 2008-08-25 17:00:00 | | Martial Artist Says: Right Makes Might! was written by Dr. Gary S. GoodmanMachiavelli, that enduring political philosopher and writer, asked a pivotal question.If you’re a ruler of society, is it better to be feared or loved?He equivocated a little, but finally, he settled on fear because it’s more predictable and reliable, and less fickle than love.A kindred question was asked by Plato in his famous Dialogues:“Does might make right?”If you lead an army and you believe that day is night,... | | By: Boxing - Fighting Center | | |

| A Martial Artist's View Of The Film: "Munich" | | 2008-08-23 01:00:01 | | A Martial Artist's View Of The Film: "Munich" was written by Dr. Gary S. GoodmanThe Middle East is flaring up again with kidnappings in Lebanon and the West Bank, missiles being fired on Haifa, for the first time in history, provoking aggressive reprisals by the Israeli military.What better time than to view the Stephen Spielberg movie, “Munich,” about the murders of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Olympics, and the countermeasures they spawned?What this film accomplishes is very significant.

GoodmanStudying the martial arts makes you tough, able to confront and overcome fear.By accepting and delivering force, and by practicing your kicks and strikes and parries and grabs you become more courageous, right?Maybe, and maybe not!I say maybe not because there could be something much more basic at work that is helping you to overcome your phobias and to become a more confident person.What is it, if it isn’t the ac... | | By: Boxing - Fighting Center | | |

GoodmanWhat if a distant civilization, threatened by an evil empire, received TV transmissions from Earth that carried old “Star Trek” episodes, and instead of interpreting them as entertainment, they thought they were “historical documents,” that Captain Kirk, Spock, Sulu, and Scotty were real warriors, the best in the universe?Why, they’d try to get these battlers to come to their rescue, wouldn’t they?T... | | By: Boxing - Fighting Center | | |

| Martial Artist Agrees: Karate Is A Life Long Pursuit | | 2008-08-17 11:00:00 | | Martial Artist Agrees: Karate Is A Life Long Pursuit was written by Dr. Gary S. GoodmanLong before I studied karate, I studied karate.I read books on the subject, involved myself in an appreciation of Eastern philosophy and living practices, and sensed, on a deep level, that my journey and the martial artist’s, are one.And long after I’ve studied karate, in a formal dojo, I intend to study karate by applying its principles to my life.The key to karate, as I see it, is your frame of mind.Atta... | | By: Boxing - Fighting Center | | |
| | Martial Artist Asks: Can We Devise A Nonviolent Martial Art? | | 2008-08-15 15:00:00 | | Martial Artist Asks: Can We Devise A Nonviolent Martial Art? was written by Dr. Gary S. GoodmanThe founder of our martial arts dojo was fond of telling a story about a 98 pound weakling in high school who served as an unwilling punching bag for the local bullies.Predictably, he’d be verbally harassed and then pushed around by these toughs, and I suppose, somewhere in the distance our founder may have even been cowering, himself; who knows?Anyway, one day the jerks picked on this “runt” and... | | By: Boxing - Fighting Center | | |

| | Martial Artist Suggests Boxing Out Of The Think! | | 2008-08-06 03:00:26 | | Martial Artist Suggests Boxing Out Of The Think! was written by Dr. Gary S. GoodmanYou’ve heard of thinking outside of the box, that splendid practice of seeking unconventional answers to problems, freeing yourself from constraints, and brainstorming your way to the new and exciting.It’s wonderful, but our typical thought grooves are often firmly imprinted, and thinking our way to better thinking can be as difficult as pulling yourself up by your bootstraps, or by your hair, for Baron Munchh... | | By: Boxing - Fighting Center | | |
| | A Martial Artist's View Of "Ronin" & Robert De Niro | | 2008-07-27 03:00:01 | | A Martial Artist's View Of "Ronin" & Robert De Niro was written by Dr. Gary S. Goodman from Customersatisfaction.com My first thought for this article was to focus only on the film, "Ronin," starring Robert De Niro, but I found, after meditating on its real appeal to me, that "Ronin" is just one element in a career that puts De Niro into the role of a warrior.And seeing this fellow's work as a whole teaches us more about the martial artist than looking at the individual pieces.To be sure "Ro... | | By: Boxing - Fighting Center | | |
| | A Martial Artist's View Of The Film, "Ghost Dog" | | 2008-07-24 03:39:29 | | A Martial Artist's View Of The Film, "Ghost Dog" was written by Dr. Gary S. Goodman from Customersatisfaction.com Forest Whittaker is an enigmatic actor.When you think you have him figured out, he does something to surprise you.But of course, this shouldn't be unexpected.Like a Las Vegas Blackjack dealer who tosses all of the cards face-up, there isn't much mystery left. Yet, how that same gamesman reaches for the deck to tender the next "hit" always seems to have a lot of suspense.We know in th... | | By: Boxing - Fighting Center | | |

Goodman from Customersatisfaction.com Director Ang Lee is the only person to win Best Director Oscars for a foreign and domestic film.Winning for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and more recently for "Brokeback Mountain," you might think that these two films are, literally and figuratively, worlds apart.But they have some profound similarities. Specifically, they're love stories set against a backdr... | | By: Boxing - Fighting Center | | |
| | A Martial Artist's View Of The Film: "Kiss Of The Dragon" | | 2008-07-21 15:00:01 | | A Martial Artist's View Of The Film: "Kiss Of The Dragon" was written by Dr. Gary S. Goodman from customersatisfaction.com Jet Li isn’t Bruce Lee.And it’s a good thing if you’re a movie fan.Jet Li is much more interesting to watch. Instead of seeing a permanent scowl, like the one attached to Bruce’s face, Jet Li’s countenance is super subtle, mobile, and complex.You can see him trying to restrain himself, waging inner battles that call for tremendous restraint. Staring forward, tryin... | | By: Boxing - Fighting Center | | |
| | A Martial Artist's View Of The Film: "Gladiator" | | 2008-07-18 07:00:02 | | A Martial Artist's View Of The Film: "Gladiator" was written by Dr. Gary S. Goodman from customersatisfaction.com "Gladiator," unlike many films that pit men against men in individual combat, is entertaining to watch because it has, what Aristotle was one of the first to call, "spectacle."Spectacle is grandeur, a large story set on a worldly stage, with dazzling scenery, and breathtaking moments."Gladiator" has all of these things, and through special effects, it shows us what Imperial Rome may... | | By: Boxing - Fighting Center | | |

Goodman from customersatisfaction.com When you study the martial arts, delving into philosophy and spirituality, you find that one of your main purposes is to reformulate yourself.What you are, what your family, society, bosses, teachers, and government have made you, just cannot stand.Something specific may have alerted you to this need.Perhaps it was a slight, received from someone disrespectful, that made y... | | By: Boxing - Fighting Center | | |
| | A Martial Artist's View Of The Film: "Fight Club" | | 2008-07-17 03:00:01 | | A Martial Artist's View Of The Film: "Fight Club" was written by Dr. Gary S. Goodman from customersatisfaction.com "Fight Club" is the kind of film that can make you squirm, belly laugh, and think, "That’s profound!" in the space of a few minutes.Starring Edward Norton and Brad Pitt, this is, on a superficial level, a flick about underground boxing, or if you prefer, brawling clubs.No money changes hands, no betting occurs, and the pugilists’ only compensation is the thrill they get from ki... | | By: Boxing - Fighting Center | | |
| | A Martial Artist's View Of The Film: "A History Of Violence" | | 2008-07-15 22:00:01 | | A Martial Artist's View Of The Film: "A History Of Violence" was written by Dr. Gary S. Goodman from customersatisfaction.com If you’re a martial artist and you haven’t seen the movie, "A History of Violence," you should.In fact, I’m surprised it didn’t get more recognition at the Academy Awards.There are lots of movies that have been commended to me to demonstrate various aspects of courage and positive values. Included are "Braveheart," "The Last Samurai," "Rob Roy," and "Gladiator."B... | | By: Boxing - Fighting Center | | |
