Intergalactic Summit

In the wake of the Kinhar Elokur Incident, where a Minmatar student killed three Gallente citizens in alleged self defence, many Federal citizens are looking at their own personal safety, resulting in higher enrolment in Jin-Mei martial arts classes!

The Jin-Mei homeworlds in the Lirsautton system, have given rise to many forms of martial art, some with weapons, some unarmed, but all featuring a high standard of physical and mental training being required to master the art.

"Any Gallente fool can learn to break iron bars with their fist, but only a Jin-Mei Master can do it poetically", stated one Jin-Mei martial artist.

The graceful moves of Jin-Mei martial artists have found their way into many Federation-produced holo-films, with the character types of "ancient monk" and "dragon lady" featuring in numerous blockbusters, including "The Tei-Su Exploding Fist", in which a young Jin-Mei hero fights his way across several star systems in search of his sister, kidnapped by the Serpentis.

"I saw this film with a former Miss Federation, Charlani Hudsin, I think the name was, and she was using Jin-Mei moves against these giant animals, and she was only wearing barbecue sauce, man. Barbecue Sauce!", said one enthusiastic martial arts student. Saucy!

"My hands are dangerous weapons now! Well, against bits of furniture, I guess. We haven't really covered fighting people yet. This Dimac stuff is awesome", said another student.

"Foreign devils will never understand the Proper Way", said another Jin-Mei master.

A Federal Intelligence Office spokesperson had this to say:
"When times are uncertain, people always worry about their safety. By taking up martial arts, and of course informing the authorities of any foreign or suspicious behaviour in their neighbourhood, citizens can help to ensure their safety, and the safety of the Federation as a whole."

Furniture salespeople have also reported an increase in sales, as overly enthusiastic people practice their skills.

Idama are Intaki. If they made such a basic mistake as having an Idama using Jin-Mei martial arts, I guess the cheap special effects must have eaten into their proof-reading budget.

Come to think of it, what is it with capsuleers and enjoying really cheap, really bad holoflicks?

Next thing you know they are going to be buying painblades.

I - I... oh nevermind.

I love cheesy martial arts flicks. My weakness!

Theyre just fun!

I see everyone missed that the FIO are encouraging people to spy on their neighbours.

Innocent until proven Minmatar, I guess. Ha!

Slander!, Sanshanado was a critical masterpiece as reviewed by Republic of Quafe film reviews.

I always enjoyed that one where some internal Impetus studio bought up the rights for a few no-budget holofilms, then dubbed it over with their own (ipurposefully bad) voice acting. I wish I could remember the name of it, but I remember one part where the hero is fought by someone who is clearly bad at fighting, and then his master reveals to the hero that they had intentionally trained him badly just for laughs.

You're thinking of marital arts.

Are you sure that "The Tei-Su Exploding Fist" is a martial arts film and not.... uh, some, er, other kind of film? We're talking about the Gallente, after all.
