Long before his movie came out I designed a martial arts training product which, I didn\u2019t realize at the time, would become widely used by martial artists, stunt teams and action stars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine my surprise when in one the special features for BLACK PANTHER<\/a> (2018) I witnessed star Chadwick Boesman \u201cKicking the Clap out of it\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time Black Panther was among my favorite MCU entries, so much so I even bought the movie. That was how I discovered his use of the product. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was unable to include this detail in my review but on the tragic occasion of this star\u2019s passing I was able to return to this in a written tribute published in this site: BLACK PANTHER: Come Out Fighting: A Review Revisited<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was a heart felt and heart wrenching movie. One which challenged the observational remove I often employ when I\u2019m attending a press-screening in preparation for a review. I\u2019ll spare you the details, but I\u2019ll just extend the benefit of the doubt to assume this at this autumn has been equally intense for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One such challenge included the selection of a title. A review\u2019s title often reveals itself in the article\u2019s writing. Sometime it\u2019s immediately obvious what I\u2019ll be titling a piece as I walk out the theater. In one case a used a friend\u2019s very witty suggestion. But I\u2019m this instance I found myself listing potential titles before, during and after the process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve listed them here for you, so that once you\u2019ve the article you can decide for yourself if we selected the best title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
