Gotta admit, some of the acting was shit. I saw Scott in Extreme Challenge directed by Tung Wai, Now that film has got good fighting from most of the players in the film.

While Special Forces is a so/so movie overall, Scott's end fight against Vladislavas Jacukevicius is as good as many classic HK fights. Also his return to the Boyka character in Undisputed 3 which pits him against Chilean martial artist Marko Zaror is cause for excitement as these 2 guys are big but can move, and should match up well.

There's the Bujinkan, Genbukan and Jinenkan as well as whole host of Koryu Ju-Jutsu schools (like Takenouchi Ryu & Sōsuishi-ryū) and even some Iai schools which have ninjutsu in their curriculum (like Tenshin Shōden Katori Shintō-ryū). At least it would have looked slightly more authentic than the MMA & Karate stuff used in the clips so far. Not to say that they're not extremely good at what they do, but it's not very similar to what we do know about the fighting styles of the ninja.
