New discovery: "Bey's Blog"

Sometimes it seems as if in the hours upon hours spent on youtube and google - often at work or public places when other more productive things could be happening - the internet resources on martial arts have been exhausted. I am here to say this is not so. In my social bookmarking post the other day I came across a website discovered by someone who has possibly spent more time at work searching for these things than I, and that website is Bey Logan's blog.

Bey Logan is an expert on Hong Kong martial arts movies, and a veteran in the business. He has been a martial arts practitioner for years, and has been involved in production and distribution of several Hong Kong action movies, as well as appearing in a few with Donnie Yen. Due to his extensive knowledge and experience, he frequently contributes commentaries on new DVD releases of martial arts movies, both old and new.

"Bey's Blog" (http://www.dragondynasty.com/blog) as it is appropriately titled is a collection of history and behind the scenes info about kung fu movie classics and fighting legends that gives a new insight as to how the evolution of martial arts films has occurred. Through back stories given on revered staples of the genre such as "36th Chamber of Shaolin" the ripple effect created in this genre by one movie is evident. This is similar to the influence exerted by Hong Kong style choreography in the US today, and by Tony Jaa's choreography on the conception of Muay Thai and Thailand action movies.

"Bey's Blog" is one that I have never seen before, but that I am now quite interested in. This is a blog written by a real insider in the industry who has worked and even helped create some movies that are quite notable. It is a valuable and informative resource on youtube and proves that there is still many a blog as yet undiscovered by myself.
