D.U.D.E Bios: Saraid Grady-Sullivan / Sara Lucifarian (2021)

The Wrathful Imp Sara Lucifarian

Same pic as Sara hasn't changed much.

The seventh of the seven, the fireball of a young lady, Sara Lucifarian. Sara isn't particularly smart, wise, cunning, tactful, any of that, but she has what the others lack, pure rage that can be released at a moment's notice. If Damien were honest he'd probably say that Sara even scares him, but Damien would never admit such a thing, rather he has taken to locking Sara in a cage whenever she fights or locking her outside of buildings for street fights so that her rage may never be directed at him.

"Dare you to."

5. i really like to apply three cute words together to get a good url.

6. i personally can adore both but if i had to chose, dogs. bigger dogs though because i don’t feel fond of smaller dog breeds lol. older cats are really cool.

7. as far as live action, i really like indie movies or films that generally focus on the slice of life genre. also films exploring a character navigating growth or love. i’m open to a lot of animation too but i adore surrealism and similar genres as my live action preferences for that too.

11. black iced coffee!

12. hard question to answer. i generally really dislike the idea that my passions have to intertwine with unhealthy capitalistic methods just to make ends meet. …i know there’s more optimistic ways to view that but i’m completely indifferent about pursuing a conventional idea of a career. i don’t have time or connections to do it but if possible something involving freelance art commissions or comics would be cool.

19. japanese, french, finnish, russian and spanish.

27. any kind of bunnies, giant african snail, puffins, panda bears, ducks, flamingos, frogs, and dogs.

28. right now i would probably say soap and sweat.

29. funny question, i don’t think i do. i very much value peace.

30. 4!

32. i love both… so much… black coffee or cappuccino and green tea or chamomile… so lovely…

Olympic WoHo Newsletter 2/4

While preliminary games have been happening for a few days now, the opening ceremony this morning marked the official start to the Olympic Games. Even before that, things have been exciting in women’s hockey, so into those games after a news update!

NEWS 

Finnish head coach Pasi Mustonen will be returning home due to a family emergency and will be replaced by assistant coach Juuso Toivola, anticipated to take over behind team Finland’s bench after this season.

Silke Glud of Denmark injured against China, no update on status but leaves Denmark without the top scorer in Denmark’s women’s league.

After Brianna Decker was forced to leave the tournament after an injury, coach Joel Johnson said the US will consider their options after choosing not to take taxi squad players.

Game recaps for Denmark vs China and Russia vs Switzerland are below the cut, as well as previews of the upcoming four games by @sonnymilano​.

GAME RECAPS

DEN [1], CHN [3]: Marlene Frandsen scored the first Olympic goal in Denmark’s history, holding a 1-0 lead until late in the 2nd, when Lin Qiqi (Leah Lum) tied it for China. Danish netminder Cassandra Repstock-Romme was impressive as anticipated, but China dominated possession throughout. Lin Ni (Rachel Llanes) scored with 50.9 left in regulation, and Denmark pulled Repstock-Romme soon after, with Lin Qiqi sealing the deal on the empty net. Full game details via the IIHF here. 

ROC [5], SUI [2]: Switzerland didn’t get the rebound they wanted after losing 12-1 to Canada, with Russia beating them in their 1st game of the tournament. 22 year old Polina Bolgareva led an understaffed Russian team with a hat trick. Lara Stalder recorded another goal for the Swiss with a second coming from star Alina Müller, but a game plagued with mistakes wasn’t enough to push them past the Russian team. Full game details via the IIHF here.

UPCOMING GAMES

CAN vs FIN: during their meeting at worlds, Finland go off to a 2-0 lead before losing 5-1. After Canada took 14 PIM against Switzerland, special teams will be even more key for Finland, after they scored twice on the PP against the USA. With Daoust out, Canada needs to keep trusting their young players, including skilled puck moving defender Claire Thompson (1-4-5 against Switzerland). Elis Holopainen could provide depth offense for Finland, with 2 shots of 15 in 16min playing time. Goaltender matchup is expected to be Desbiens for Canada and Keisala for Finland.

CZE vs SWE: Sweden wasn’t able to recover from their slow start against Japan, but will be looking to carry the momentum they gained later into this game from the start. Maja Nylen-Persson stood out last game on defense with a goal, 3 shots, and a team high 22 min of ice time. Czechia’s offensive depth has proven a threat, though, something missing for a lot of Group B teams. Denisa Krizova scored, recorded 3 shots, and was on the ice for another in 13 min of ice time. In net, likely Soderberg for Sweden and Peslarova for Czechia.

DEN vs JPN: after a close game at the 2021 worlds that saw Japan win 1-0, this will be the 2nd appearance for both teams. Japan only played 3 lines against Sweden, with defender Aoi Shiga playing over 32 min. Repstock-Romme and Fujimoto are both expected to start again, Repstock-Romme after her 29 save performance against China the day before. Josefine Persson is a player to watch, with 5 of Denmark’s 23 shots on goal and 23 min of ice time.

USA vs ROC: Russia is another team with strong offensive depth, key against Switzerland, with Bolgareva’s hat trick in 13 min of TOI. Their tendency for penalties has hurt them in past tournaments as well as yesterday, which USA should be trying to take advantage of. USA did only score on 1 of 4 powerplays against Finland, giving up two PP goals against, and Russia has proven they can score both shorthanded and on the PP. Abby Roque will likely be stepping up in place of Decker, with a 71% face off % against Finland, making her the player to watch.

The Real Martial Arts Behind Cobra Kai and The Karate Kid

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

When The Karate Kid premiered in 1984, new students rushed to enroll in Karate Dojos across the nation. However, for anyone aspiring to learn the true ways of Miyagi-Do—or Cobra Kai as the case may be—Dojos weren’t propounding deck sanding and fence painting as part of their curriculum. There are many different styles of Karate. Fans wondered which style Daniel and Johnny were really doing. Now that Netflix has picked up Cobra Kai from YouTube Red, a whole new crop of fans has discovered the show and the question has come up again: What type of Karate do they practice at Miyagi-Do and Cobra Kai? The truth is it might not even be Karate.

In any movie or series, the filmmakers and showrunners aren’t beholden to a specific style. They are telling a story, not making a documentary. With most productions, a hodge-podge of movie-fu makes for better action than authentic martial arts. When The Karate Kid began production, Ralph Macchio (Daniel), William Zabka (Johnny), and Pat Morita (Mr. Miyagi) didn’t know any martial arts. Zabka had some background in wrestling but that was it. Like David Carradine in ‘70s TV show Kung Fu, they earned their roles with their acting skills, not their martial arts proficiency. In many ways, it’s Daniel’s inexperience and awkwardness with Karate that helps to sell the story. 

Only three of the original actors had studied martial arts prior to filming. Ron Thomas practiced Jujitsu, which had little application for his role as Cobra Kai’s Bobby in the film. Martin Kove (Kreese) studied Karate under the famous Grandmaster Takayuki Kubota.  Kubota was a noted celebrity trainer who cultivated many famous students including James Caan, Robert Conrad, Ron Ely, George Kennedy, Sam Peckinpah, Hilary Swank (who starred as The Next Karate Kid) to name a few.

He created his own style of Karate called Gosuku-Ryu. Gosuku means “hard fast.” Ryu literally means “flow” but is a suffix commonly used in Karate to denote a specific system or style. What’s more, Kubota patented a self-defense weapon, a rod-shaped keychain fob the size of a sharpie. He named it the Kubotan after himself, and it is still widely used by Police and Enforcement today. However, beyond training Kove, Kubota had little influence on The Karate Kid. In action films, actors play roles that require them to portray themselves as masters of different styles than they practice in real life. 

Cobra Kai – Strike Hard, Strike Fast, No Mercy

The martial arts depicted in The Karate Kid must be attributed to Grandmaster Pat E. Johnson. He was the martial arts choreographer for the original films and played the Referee. Johnson is a student of Chuck Norris and captained Norris’ Black Belt Competition team to win 33-consecutive national and international championships. And despite not disqualifying Daniel’s illegal winning crane kick, Johnson is a highly respected martial arts referee. Beyond The Karate Kid, he worked on other films including Enter the Dragon, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Mortal Kombat. Johnson and Norris practice Tang Soo Do, a Korean martial art, but this is where translation of the terminology gets complicated. 

Tang Soo Do means “Way of the Tang Hand.” Do means “the Way,” same character as the Dao in Chinese. It’s the same word in Korean and Japanese and serves as a suffix for many martial arts like Karate-Do, Judo, and Taekwondo. Soo literally means “hand.” Tang refers to the Tang Dynasty (618-907) indicating the Chinese origins of the art. According to legend, all Asian martial arts trace back to China’s Shaolin Temple, the legendary cradle of Kung Fu. For simplicity, many English translators shortened “Way of the Tang Hand” to “Way of the Chinese Hand.” It’s a respectful nod to that origin tale. 

Korean and Japanese characters are derived from Chinese too. Translate the characters for Tang Soo Do into Japanese and it is Karate-Do. However in 1935, Japan changed the character for Kara (or Tang) to a homophonic character that means “empty” in order to distinguish its martial art from China. To complicate matters even more, Tang Soo Do was commonly dubbed “Korean Karate” in the United States. Nevertheless, Tang Soo Do and Karate are distinct disciplines. 

Cobra Kai is the name of the school, not the style. The Kai in Cobra Kai literally means “assembly” or “meeting” and within the Karate vernacular, it’s a suffix that denotes an organization or group. Cobra is just a name, the school mascot. While there are many snake styles of martial arts, particularly in Kung Fu, the Cobra is seldom commonly specified in Asian systems. More often, it is seen in American school logos, like the symbol of William’s Kenpo Karate Dojo in Enter the Dragon. There’s a nod to Kung Fu legend in the name. The rival of Snake Kung Fu is Crane style. In the Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith redux of The Karate Kid, the snake comes into play. 

Given Johnson’s choreography Tang Soo Do influences Cobra Kai more than Karate. Throughout the series, there are subtle clues alluding to this. From the first film to Cobra Kai, when Johnny spars, he deploys a lot of high kicks characteristic of Korean martial arts. After the first film, Zabka continued to study Tang Soo Do with Johnson for many years so it is his foundation style. Another big tell is in The Karate Kid Part III. When Kreese’s comrade Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith) visits Miyagi’s Dojo to lie about Kreese’s death, he couches it in an apology from their mutual South Korean master. In real life, Griffith is a black belt in Kenpo Karate and Taekwondo. Cobra Kai perpetuated the Tang Soo Do influence very subtly in Season 1. In episode 7, Johnny barks out a command that sounds like “jun be” which means “get ready” in Korean. 

There’s some historical validity to Kreese teaching “Korean Karate.” Much of Tang Soo Do came to the U.S. via military veterans that served in Korea. Both Johnson and Norris first learned their martial art while stationed there. This makes a lot of sense for Kreese’s character. The photo of Kreese in military uniform that hung in Cobra Kai declares him as the U.S. Army 1970-72 Karate Champion and Silver is his old Army buddy.

Miyagi-Do – Karate Here. Karate Not Here.

But what about Miyagi-Do? What style teaches “wax on wax off?” Since Pat Morita wasn’t a martial artist, his body double was a distinguished Karate master named Fumio Demura. Demura espouses Shito-Ryu Karate, but that’s not evident in the movies. It is implied that Miyagi teaches a style of Karate called Goju-Ryu. Goju means “hard soft” (the Go is the same character as in Gosuku-Ryu and the Ju is the same as in Judo – “the Soft Way”). Although never overtly stated, there are many subtle references throughout the films and series.

In The Karate Kid Part II, Miyagi and Daniel visit Miyagi’s hometown in Okinawa. In the family dojo, Miyagi tells Daniel of the founder of Miyagi-Do, an ancestor of Mr. Miyagi who ended up in China by accident after getting drunk and falling asleep in his fishing boat in 1625. He returned to Okinawa 10 years later with a Chinese wife, two kids, and the basis for Miyagi-Do. This artistic liberty is a mishmash of Goju-Ryu history. Grandmaster Higaonna Kanryo (1853–1916) was an Okinawan martial artist and translator who spent many years studying martial arts in China, including Crane style. His top student, another native Okinawan, followed in his footsteps to train in China too. That student was another Miyagi – Grandmaster Chojun Miyagi (1888-1953), the founder of Goju-Ryu.

Two more Goju-Ryu Easter eggs imply that it is the inspiration for Miyagi-Do. In The Karate Kid Part II, a Goju-Ryu patch can be clearly seen on Chozen’s (Yuji Okumoto) gi. The Goju-Ryu symbol is a golden upraised fist, often with the characters for Karate written underneath and it is unmistakable. Chozen was trained by his uncle Sato (Danny Kamekona), a fellow student under Miyagi’s father (Charlie Tanimoto) so they all practice the same style. 

Another major tell lies in the Kata that Miyagi teaches Daniel in The Karate Kid Part III. It is based on Seiunchin, an original Goju-Ryu Kata created by Higaonna Kanryo and passed down to Chojun Miyagi. This is the same Kata that Daniel recites in Cobra Kai and teaches to his students, including his daughter Samantha (Mary Mouser) and Johnny’s son Robby (Tanner Buchanan). Real Goju-Ryu practitioners often comment that it is a weak rendition of Seiunchin, but again, it’s just a show, not a documentary.

The original writer of The Karate Kid, Robert Mark Kamen, claims that the idea of the story was loosely autobiographical. He says he was beaten up by bullies after the 1964 World’s Fair in New York. That experience led him to start martial arts. His first instructor was too violent and vengeful, so he began studying Goju-Ryu. Kamen says Miyagi was based on Grandmaster Meitoku Yagi (1912-2003), a direct disciple of Miyagi and a National Living Treasure of Japan.

The Crane Kick

Daniel’s All-Valley victory move isn’t from Goju-Ryu. It was made up for the film. However, the same one-legged posture exists within Northern Shaolin Kung Fu. The pose was featured on the cover of a Kung Fu book originally published in 1984, the same year that The Karate Kid premiered. Northern Sil Lum: Moi Fah No. 7 by Kwon W. Lam and Ted Mancuso is now out-of-print (Sil Lum is the Cantonese pronunciation of Shaolin). In the book, it’s not called a Crane technique. The actual name is “Lift stance, Black Crow splits wings.” 

When this book was published, there was a lot of debate about which came first within the martial arts community. The Karate Kid released in theaters on June 22, 1984. Since the book came out earlier that year, and given movie production and post-production time, the Crane kick scenes were probably filmed before the book was published. Most likely, it was an auspicious coincidence. 

The creation of the Crane Kick is colloquially attributed to Darry Vidal, although he has said that it was Kamen who initially described the move. Vidal was the stunt double for Miyagi in the beach Crane Kick scene and played the last semi-finalist to face Johnny before Daniel. He was an up-and-coming martial artist when the movie was shot and still teaches Karate at his school in California. 

What Style is Season 3?

Despite these authentic underpinnings, the hard truth is that the martial arts have never been that good throughout the Karate Kid franchise. The unusual training methods are absurd and there’s no way an 18-and-under tournament like the All Valley Karate Championships would be held without safety gear. It’s movie fiction. While the fight scenes were dramatic, the technical skills displayed have been mediocre for such an iconic martial arts franchise. 

This all changed with the Cobra Kai season 2 finale. The final fight was applauded by fans of the genre as an outstanding piece of fight choreography, worthy of the brand. It included an outstanding long take—the hallmark of good fight scenes—that was technically sophisticated, complex in its composition and cinematography. From a martial standpoint, this was the crowning achievement for the entire franchise. The stunt coordinators for Cobra Kai are Jahnel Curfman, a former gymnast and dancer turned stuntwoman, and Hiro Koda, a decorated Karate champion and longtime stuntman. Both are signed on for Season 3. 

Many martial artists began their martial journey because they were inspired by The Karate Kid. For them, that movie was life changing. These devotees are eager to see if Curfman and Koda can sustain that high level of fight choreography for Cobra Kai Season 3. And if the writers can continue to follow through on the authenticity of the martial arts backstories, that will be even better. 

As Mr. Miyagi would say, “Banzai!”

Season 1 and 2 of Cobra Kai are now available on Netflix. Cobra Kai Season 3 premieres on Netflix in 2021.

utter my love when it counted

Hello, @astartlinglackofpotential! I’m your Secret Santa, delivering you the Steli fic you asked for! I hope you like it.

…yes, I used the Hozier lyric title generator

This takes place between “Creepslayerz” and “In the Hall of the Gumm Gumm King”. It contains mild injuries, Steve’s dad being an offscreen homophobe, and past bullying.

AO3 (if you have an AO3 account, please tell me and I’ll gift this fic to you on there)

“You look like a little kid in that,” Steve said.

Eli rolled his eyes. He was wearing one of Steve’s jerseys, because Eli had gotten stabbed by a creeper and a large portion of his own shirt had gotten blood on it. Steve had taken Eli to his house because, unlike Eli’s, it was empty becuse Coach had taken Steve’s mom on a date. Steve had bandaged the smaller Creepslayer, and then taken the shirt to wash with a small load of Steve’s own laundry so if his mom and Coach came home early they wouldn’t be suspicious. Eli hadn’t wanted to be shirtless, so he grabbed one of Steve’s jerseys, which almost came to his knees. It didn’t help that his hair and shoulders were somehow still damp from the rain. It was late spring, it shouldn’t have been raining, but perhaps the drought was finally ending.

“Quick question,” Eli asked.

“Quick answer: no, I don’t think I have anything that would fit you better.”

“That wasn’t what I was gonna ask. When did I ask for your opinion?”

It was funny to see just how many frowns Steve could make when he was trying to think of an answer other than, “No, Eli, you never asked my opinion and I’m being a buttsnack.”

“I mean, you asked my opinion when that creeper slashed me,” Steve said. Eli frowned, remembering the incident. He wondered if maybe they should start wearing jackets while Creepslaying. Black leather jackets would fit their uniform and protect them from both Vespa crashes and creepers, but Eli’s mom would get mad at him for wearing one. Then again, she was already annoyed that he riding a Vespa at all. Protection would make her happier.

“You asked if I should go to the hospital,” Steve continued.

“I suggested that you go to the hospital. And you refused.”

“Yeah, because Lake’s mom works there; she’d tell him about us. Besides, you got stabbed. Shouldn’t you be the one getting checked out?”

“Jim’s mom might not know; I didn’t tell my mom about us. Besides, there was more blood when you got cut.”

“Yeah, well, I’m bigger so I can lose more blood than you and stay healthy. Also, you didn’t tell your mom because you’re cool, Pepperbabe. Lake, though, I bet he told his mom on day one of having the armor and stuff. Besides, he has those creeper’s in his basement. How’d he get them in there without her noticing?”

“You do have a poin… wait. What did you call me?”

Steve’s eyes darted about the room. “What do you think I called you?”

“Pepperbabe.”

“Oh, uh… promise you won’t make fun of me or anything?” Steve asked in a small voice, eyes darting for an escape.

“I promise.”

“Okay.” Steve took a deep breath, and then another. “I…” Steve looked away, and when he looked back at Eli his gaze was scared and intense. “I have a crush on you.”

Eli blinked. While that wasn’t what he had been expecting, it honestly made more sense than anything else, given the “babe” part. Though, it made Eli feel a little uncomfortable, like he had in third grade when his teacher told Bekki Watkins that the reason Donovan Lum pulled on her pigtails was because Donovan apparently had a crush on Bekki.

“How long?” Eli asked, trying to keep the suspicion out of his voice. As uncomfortable as he was, Steve looked infinitely more so. Eli wondered if it had something to do with Steve’s dad, but he wouldn’t ask.

Steve blinked. “What?”

“How long have you had a crush on me?”

“Since I saw you waving around that medieval weapon the night of our first mission together.”

“Oh.” That made Eli feel much better.

“This… this isn’t going to change things between us, right?”

“Not unless you want it to. I mean, I had a crush on you the start of freshman year.”

“What happened, to make you not have a crush on me? Since, y’know, you said had.”

“You shoved me in a locker.”

“Oh… right. I’m sorry about that, I was a real buttsnack for shoving you in there.”

“Thanks for apologizing. And, I guess that crush had never really gone away, or maybe it did, and then came back, since you went from ‘tall guy with nice hair’ to ‘Steve, who bullies me’ to ‘Steve, who’d protect me in an instant but still is a buttsnack to me at school so we can keep our cover’. So, yeah. If you want to stay just friends, that’s fine with me, but I also wouldn’t mind being more than friends and Creepslaying partners.”

“I’d like that. The second version, that is.”

The alarm on the washing machine went off.
