    Legacy - Renzo Gracie, preferred Choke myself, just because it was Rickson though.


    I might give "Man in the arena" a go myself later...
    Also I am looking for this: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2047898/

    Looking for this as well: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2047898/

    An old one worth a look is: Budo: The art of killing - it's a documentary about the Japanese martial arts looking at the training and purpose of a lot of them - from Judo, Karate to Sumo and Katana stuff.
    It's nearly worth a look just to see what the sumo guys have to go through in terms of training - not sure if it's still like that, I imagine it is, but **** the crap they go through is tough!

    There's also Anderson Silva's "Like water" which is worth a look.

    Actually another one that's worth a look is "Bruce Lee - A Warrior's journey": http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0297814/?ref_=sr_2

    It shows the original uncut version of Game of Death as part of the documentary - just the pagoda scenes mostly - you know where he fights Jon Jones/Kareem Abdul Jabbar - some other stuff in there I never knew about previously as well.

    I second Choke and the Smashing Machine.

    There's an old Kyokushin Karate documentary called Fighting Black Kings which is very good too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDhBr8ybiPM
