Crossing Hollow Films casts a Martial Arts All-Star line up for its family-friendly Action-Drama flick "Take A Chance" that includes Legendary Sonny Chiba, Shihan Oyama, Shihan Goda, Cassie Scerbo, Mackenyu Maeda, Alex Heartman, and Masashi Odate. Film brings together two of the largest Japanese Martial Arts Organizations in the world.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) May 16, 2012

Crossing Hollow Films' upcoming family-friendly Action-Drama film, Take A Chance, written and directed by Saiko Shihan Oyama and Michael Stiles, and produced by Scott Perkins, not only hooked in a multi-talented ensemble cast, but brought together two of the largest Japanese martial arts organizations in the world...Kyokushin Karate and World Oyama Karate.

Starring in his first U.S. film, Mackenyu Maeda, son of the legendary Sonny Chiba, plays the lead role, “Masa,” and Cassie Scerbo (ABC’s “Make It or Break It”) plays “Cynthia,” an American southern belle and Masa’s love interest. The film tells the story of an unmotivated and wayward young high school student from a wealthy Japanese family whose father sends him to America to study as an Uchi Deshi under a renowned karate master to be played by Saiko Shihan Oyama (Founder of World Oyama Karate). Take A Chance, centers on events surrounding Masa’s rise from ambiguity to clarity in the value of friendships, hard work, and an unyielding conviction to persevere.

“Our hope is that this story will inspire people who have known the feeling of being less than they could be,” says Michael Stiles and Saiko Shihan Oyama. “And that we would find hope where there may seem to be none in sight.”

Additional Cast highlights include:

Japanese film legend and action star, Sonny Chiba, to play “Musashi”, a figure who appears to Masa and awakens a strength and determination he never knew he had. Chiba has appeared in over 125 films, including the classic The Street Fighter movie series, as well as blockbuster hits such as Kill Bill and The Fast and the Furios: Tokyo Drift.

Shihan Yuzo Goda gives a cameo appearance as the Fight Judge. Shihan Goda is a Karate Master and an Executive Advisor to the Kyokushinkai Martial Arts Organization, which has branches in more than 120 countries and boasts over 10 million registered members.

Alex Heartman as “Antonio”, an antagonist of Masa. He is best known for playing Jayden Shiba, the Red Ranger, in the latest Power Rangers incarnation, Power Rangers Samurai. His role as a Power Ranger, gave him a 2012 Kids’ Choice Awards Nomination.

Masashi Odate plays Rikio, a sensei who provides discipline and guidance in Masa’s life. Odate is an accomplished martial artist in the Kyokushin style whose acute acting talent has earned him the opportunity to appear in such high-profile films as Letters from Iwo Jima, directed by Clint Eastwood, and The Last Samurai, starring Tom Cruise. He has also worked with Best Supporting Actor Oscar winner Louis Gossett, Jr. in the film, All In.

Savannah Outen plays Amanda, Cynthia’s best friend, and also performs three songs for the film’s soundtrack, including the piercing ballad, “Rise Up.” Outen has topped music charts on Radio Disney since 2007 and has now over 380,000 subscribers and more than 77 million Youtube views.

The film is currently in production in Birmingham, Alabama.

" By Matt on Monday, May 27, 2002 - 10:42 am: Edit Post
Well I'll be in Canada for about 5 years so I guess Canada...
I’m 23 and I've been studying full body Wing Chun for about 4 years, 5 to six days per week.
This, along side my Shanxi Hsing-i is the perfect combination for me. Full body Wing Chun (round body)is said to be the grand son of Hsing-i. The combination has given me a greater understanding of both which in the whole scheme of things is still nothing!!
I study privately under Si-Gung Rodger Smart and apparently anyone who's anyone in China and Hong Kong’s Wing Chun circles claim Si-gung is the best they've seen (he took out Fat Shans best with the greatest of ease). Not that Hong Kong is a benchmark for anything.
Si-Gung is the soul student of Si-Jo Chu, a renowned Chinese herbalist. It all started with Si-Jo Chu's Grandfather, a well-known doctor of shanxi. To cut a very long story short the Chu's had the best in medicine; the Song's had the best in Hsing-i. Both being Taoist, Song Shi Rong and Dr Chu agreed in a full trade off of information. Si-Jo's Grandfather, with his newfound combination was undefeated in the whole of china in challenges, this ultra combination was filtered directly into Si jo.

Si Jo Chu is the most amazing specimen I have ever seen!! He is apparently is in his later Sixties and is up and down like my 10-year-old nephew, hard as a rock and skin like a twelve year old!!! You will never see ant thing like it. Probably one of the only true masters left on the planet, and you'd never know it, besides his stocky muscular build. He teaches no one but Si Gung in his back yard and has done for the last 12 years.
This is now being fed to me in very small doses, my power and body transformation has baffled me,
But I am soon to leave because I married a Canadian... Everything I have laid eyes on out side my school has been an embarrassment to watch I even accepted challenges, which is completely out of character for me, in the hope of being humbled. I’m yet to ask Si-Gung my intentions and have not build up the courage to ask him yet.
Does anyone know of a Shanxi School??????

It is also mixed with flashbacks of past lives, his reincarnations...that break with the traditional mold.

There are some great plot twists, exceptional dialogue, good use of wit and a non traditional story line. It flirts with Showtimes' Dexter character but with a distinctly Chinese flare.

I caught the replay of the Mayweather/Cotto fight this weekend, Cotto was the first fighter to rough the champ up...some saying the possible fight of the year.

Probably because of his mouth, he doesn't get credit enough for being the one of the greatest ever.

Painter and decorator becomes Scotland's first Shaolin monk
May 15 2012 By Charles Gall


Pictured: Paul, right, at the Shaolin temple

A PAINTER and decorator has become Scotland’s answer to TV’s kung fu hero Grasshopper.

Paul Nicol is the first Scottish disciple of China’s Shaolin temple, home of the legendary kung fu-fighting monks.

And he says the honour is a childhood dream come true.

Paul, 36, who is married with a 16-month-old son, became fascinated with the martial art after watching re-runs of the 70s American TV series Kung Fu.

It followed the adventures of Shaolin monk Kwai Chang Caine – played by the late David Carradine – who was called Grasshopper by his blind mentor Master Po.

Paul, from Nairn, travelled to China’s Central Plains region to be inducted at a special ceremony with two of his own students, Calum Macdonald and Steven Wilkie.

He said: “We all trained hard and lived the Shaolin way. The training was very intense and our two masters were strict and expected our all – all of the time.

“We trained for four to five hours a day doing cardio work, major stretching and kung fu drills.”

Paul added: “We trained in a hall with the other martial monks in the mornings and under the moonlight in the temple courtyards in the evenings.

“This was so special because there were no tourists at all – just us and our masters training in a temple with more than 1500 years of history.

“With the wind blowing the giant creaky doors and chimes blowing, it was really magical.

“I also had the huge honour of being accepted to my discipleship by the abbot of the Shaolin temple, Shi Yongxin.”

Part of the disciple name conferred on him by the abbot is a nod to Paul’s homeland.

He was called Shi Yan Lan – Shi is his Buddhist family name, Yan means 36th generation and Lan is for Scotland.

Paul added: “This was a childhood dream come true for me. It was an epic experience.

“There are only a few disciples in the UK and I’m the first one in Scotland.”

Paul said he now plans to resurrect his Shaolin Kung Fu Club in Nairn and Inverness which he had to give up due to work commitments.

From Scotland to Shaolin kung-fu shrine
By MARTYN McLAUGHLIN
Published on Tuesday 15 May 2012 00:00

IT IS the most ancient of martial arts, which has instilled in its practitioners a blend of spirituality and physical prowess.

Now, the historic Chinese discipline of Shaolin kung fu has welcomed its first Scottish disciple, after a painter and decorator from a Highland town was welcomed into its tight-knit clan.

Paul Nicol, from Nairn, has been made a disciple of the famous Shaolin Temple, the 5th-century monastery which has become a shrine for aficionados of kung fu the world over.

One of only five Britons to receive the accolade, Mr Nicol, 39, said it was the realisation of a “childhood dream” to be made a disciple at the temple in Henan Province, in eastern China.

He took up karate at the age of nine before going on to master the complexities of Shaolin kung fu – made famous by international film stars such as Jet Li – and eventually became a teacher of the fighting style.

He has made three visits to the temple, and on 28 April, he was given the disciple name, Shi Yan Lan, part of which translates as “Scotland”.

Mr Nicol said: “It was a childhood dream come true for me. I think the abbot gave that name to me because I’m the first disciple in Scotland. There are around four in England, but I’m about the only person from Scotland that’s been over there so often.”

During his visit to China last month, Mr Nicol was joined by two of his Scottish students, Calum MacDonald and Steven Wilkie, who trained alongside the monks at the temple.

The ten-day trip saw the three men put through a rigorous training programme, practising non-stop for five hours a day. While the temple has become a major tourist attraction, Mr Nicol said he was able to train at the site alongside masters in the ancient art.

“We trained in the training hall with the other martial monks in the mornings and under the moonlight in the temple courtyards in the evenings,” he said.

“This was so special because there was no tourists at all and it was just us and our masters training in a temple with over 1,500 years’ history.”

Every year, about 60,000 students aged from five to 40 come to Shaolin to hone their fighting skills, but the temple has been the subject of criticism in recent years. In order to achieve Unesco World Heritage status in 2010, several buildings surrounding the temple were demolished, and there has been condemnation of the commercialisation of the spiritual site, where tourists pay about £10 to catch a glimpse of the monks’ way of life.

However, Mr Nicol said the opportunity for those under his tutelage to practise Shaolin kung fu in its historic birthplace helped open their eyes as to the skill and discipline of the warrior monks.

He added: “My two students had the time of their life. The training is really strict, the monks are really harsh. You go over there thinking you are pretty good and you’re terrible compared to them.”

Both Mr MacDonald and Mr Wilkie have trained with Mr Nicol for the past decade since he set up a Nairn branch of the Songshan Shaolin Wushu Association, posting videos on YouTube of his classes. He has been forced to close the school due to work commitments, but has continued to give private lessons and hopes to re-open the school later this year.

White crane is one of the famous styles in southern Chinese martial art. Dragon Crane is one of the evolved forms of white crane Grand master Tong found in Fujian Province of China. The style's most distinguished feature is that it combines few Tai Chi and Ba Gua's moves in traditional white crane style.

The International HunYuan Martial Arts Competition Push Hands competition was savage beyond belief. At one point I thought was told that International rules would apply only to find out (the night before the event) that there would be new rules allowing dangerous techniques such as neck attacks (resulting in one competitor being taken to hospital for extremely serious neck injury), double arm grabs, sudden arm bars, grabbing around the waist, tripping, throwing, sweeping, disengagement and sudden strikes just to name a few. But, in the end, there were no rules at all. Incredibly, the contest began the moment the referee said go! (like in the Bruce Lee movie Enter the Dragon) with no preparatory arm circles so that contact could possibly lead to the traditional Push Hands practice of Ward Off (Peng), Roll Back (Lu), Press (Gee) and Push (An). The one new rule announced by Feng's oldest daughter based on suggestions from past competitions was that if a competitor thought his or her injuries were sufficient or likely serious and that they were in physical danger, that they should feel to withdraw at any time. This was not very comforting information.

In the semi Final match 21 year old student, Zhardana Tiger was matched with a savage competitor who outweighed her in both weight and experience, and with all the warmth of Jade Fox in Crouching Tiger. Although Tiger (that's how they now refer to Jardena in Beijing) was a US Push Hands Champion, she had never competed under rules allowing striking, grabbing, pulling, wrestling, throwing, cursing and clawing. Despite the last minute change of rules she had not traveled all the way to Beijing in order to withdraw. She entered the ring before a packed house of ardent Chinese rooting for the hometown competitor. She quickly fell behind a point after being thrown to the ground and body slammed by her opponent. Although Zhardena Tiger did not come to fight, she had been a private student of Sifu Justin since she was only 15 years old. They battled back and forth for 2 minutes, got a one minute rest and then had another 2 minutes of all out street fight. As the fight went on the crowd started rooting for the underdog American. Zhardena refused to be pushed, dragged or forced out of the ring without a fight and used her determination and fighting techniques to turn the tide as the fight wore on. Both combatants were exhausted as the second bout wore on. Zhardena's opponent actually drew 3 or 4 warnings for illegal head locks, throat strikes, arm snaps, etc, but not a single point was deducted. In the end her Chinese woman said something disparaging to Zhardena that was obviously disrespectful and Jardena's inner Tiger came out and she came from behind to win the match. When the judges announced the final decision awarding Zhardena the match a roar of approval went up in the crowd. She had won the crowds and judges approval and managed to survive with only a torn elbow tendon (from an illegal arm technique) which had to be taped up for her final match..

I never thought I would witness such a savage Push Hands Competition. Fortunately Master Feng was not feeling well and was not witness to the brutal competition in an Art designed to overcome force with non force using Taoist yin yang Taiji theory. Feng's major admonition from his Principles of Practice to "emphasize the gentle over forceful" lay littered on the floor like "straw dogs". Everything except Push Hands was allowed. Competitors routinely separated from each other to avoid contact in order to better rush into each other, like Sumo wrestlers. I honestly thought about asking my student to withdraw from further competition both to avoid further injury and to protest what I saw as an insult to HunYuan Taiji theory and practice.

For her final match Zhardena drew the Russian Champion. Zhardena and her Russian competitor met beforehand and, with the encouragement of both their teachers, decided to make a statement using their final match to trade a gold medal for a chance to protest all they had experienced and witnessed and to use their opportunity to express their commitment to traditional Taijquan philosophy and martial virtue (Wu De). Zhardena and her opponent at the start of their match did double hands Push Hands for 3 revolutions and a thunderous roar of approval went up in the crowd and brought big smiles from the older Taiji dignitaries witnessing the event from the head dias. The 2 girls then did a kind of non competitive free style Push Hands display with the ultimate goal to be a 0-0 score which they achieved to the great delight of the crowd and even the judges. It was what no one expected, but everyone wanted in their hearts. Even GrandMaster Feng's daughter was smiling from the dias along with all the other HunYuan dignitaries. During their 1 minute break, instead of sitting down, they practiced Gathering Qi and Standing Meditation. In their own way they traded their gold medal opportunity for the opportunity to demonstrate their loyalty and commitment to the higher level of Taiji theory and respect for Grand Master Feng and HunYuan Taijiquan. The crowd went wild and many old school teachers came up, some with tears in their eyes, to share their congratulations and appreciation. Zhardena was later honored with a special award of "merit" before Grand Master Feng (although much older and not actively teaching anymore) whose smile and nod of recognition was worth all the gold in China.
