Travis's spiritual/mental discipline


It was interesting how Travis's lack of mental discipline/spirituality at the beginning of the film cost him later on, from the point that Wade was introduced. She wanted to induce a Far Eastern way of Zen training with yoga, meditation, etc. to the team but Travis had absolutely no interest in any of it. When they were practicing yoga outdoors, Travis is the only one lying on the grass with a towel across his eyes. Also, when Wade demonstrated the brick breaking, he wasn't the least impressed. So, it's funny how in his match with the South Korean, his lack of complete focus and zen cost him when he had to break bricks.

Virgil scored 2 damn points. 2!!! Even Sonny got 7 and he was a bloody mess at the end of his fight.

Dammit Virgil, get the hell off of your lotus petal and score some points!

What was stupid was that they had demonstrate how to break bricks to black belts in the first place.
