Black Sash

The martial arts in the show is Ba Gua Zhang (Eight Trigram Palms) and it is not shown correctly on the show. At least not in the fight scenes. But I do like how they don't use wires and do impossible flips and moves. It IS a realistic view of martial arts even thought Camera Tricks are used. The moves on the show can actually be done in the real world. Russell Wong (vanishing son series) though is not a "master" of any form of martial arts has done enough fighting stuntwork and choreography to pull off being the teacher and overseer of the school. The kids are faced with real life problems such as Child abuse, obsession, crime, etc... I have heard that the WB has cancelled the show only four eps into the six that were first ordered. I think it's a huge mistake on there part. THe show has the potential to be the WB's next Dawsons Creek if they developed the characters right. Overall I give the series a 9/10. I'd recommend it to anyone.

This was a show I didn't think would be all that good, but when Alias had reruns, I thought I would check it out to see what it's about. Surprisingly, I found it to be a pretty decent show. Russell Wong is really good in the show. I watch a lot of dark shows like Angel, Buffy, but I do still like to see shows about a caring person, trying to help others, and this is what it is. The character Tom, who has had a troubled past of his own, takes in some a few troubled teens and teaches them martial arts, and just to give them a better outlook on life. I recommend that you give this a chance, you might be just as surprised as me.

Really, i read many ppl say the show sucked, but i'm in a different opinion. I think the show had a good background history, and i was really wanting to see more after the 6th episode. I really liked that the characters were shown as human beings. And not supernatural power ppl. The teens could defend themself, but also to a limit. I've seen a bit over 5 seasons og Charmed, 5 of Angel, 2 of alias. I got really bored of Alias. People say that Alias was a better show, but i really can't get that. I read about the guy saying Black Sash was only a bunch of pritty ppl. So what about Alias? The only reason i saw that was because Jennifer Garner is hot. Then also i found the history a bit fun in the beginning. Then i got tired of seeing Jennifers face, so then i don't see alias no more. I say that black sash is a good show, and i didn't get tired of it. (even though it was only 6 eps. I got tired of alias after 4 eps, but kept watching, may be it would get better, but it never did). Black sash is a sure 10 from me, alias get 6. Only because Jennifer Garner is easy on the eyes...

I think this show rox and the stupid WB cut it off after only 6 episodes , WTVR the show was out and so many different types of people watch it, me, Im kind of a punk, i watched it , my brother, kind of a dork watched it, we all love it. so if they ever have reruns watch them.
