Shouldn't they have called it The Kung-Fu Kid? Because, you know, China has that whole Kung-Fu thing going on, not so much the Karate.

One of my students (10 years old Mollie Mc Nevin) won 50 tickets for the Galway Premiere and she took me and half the Gym to see it.
Have to say, I enjoyed it all the more to see the smiles on some of my Juniors faces - and the flick wasn't bad either.
