Is Red Belt REALLY the first jiu-jitsu film?

I have been checking around and reading posts on forums about the recent movie Red Belt and Bazilian Jiu-Jitsu's popularity and it's pop referrence.

Here's a GREAT fight scene from an old James Cagney movie. There's a slew of variations of seoi nage, harai goshi, drop knee seoi-nage, tomoe nage, side control escape, an armbar attempt, some cool back work and a lapel choke from back mount.




It's amazing to me how much of that old movie had better fight work than most modern fight choreography.

Been thinking lately about the last couple of years and all that has happened in my life. In the end, I am glad to be spending a majority of my free time at home these past couple of months. No crazy training schedule to have to worry about.

I was doing some judo with a friend, but he got hurt so now it's been a couple of weeks since I last trained and its a little strange not having it take up so much of my time. I miss the people I trained with before who are now (like myself) busy with life's other experiences.

So now I will wait and think about what the next stage may be for this activity that I like to do so much.
