NO WIRES, NO SPECIAL EFFECTS - REAL MARTIAL ARTS

Synopsis


In 2005, ONG BAK set the martial arts world on fire again, bringing REAL martial arts back to movies. Now Japan has answered with its own BLACK BELT – bringing the real force of karate to the screen. No wires, No CG and acted by Japan's leading black belt karate experts, BLACK BELT is a real martial arts tour de force.

The year is 1932 and the Japanese military is dismantling each Karate dojo across the country for their own uses. Amidst this reform, the master of one dojo dies before passing on the "Kuro-obi" black belt to a successor. The three men of the dojo – Taikan, Giryu and Choei – must face the might of the Japanese army, but find that this leads them on very different paths of martial arts. These paths of Karate pit one man against the other and ultimately thrust them into a terrible encounter with fate...
