The September of Scott

 

The Baron of British Bootwork.

The King Kicker of the Kingdom.

The Artist of Action from Angle-Land.

Scott Edward Adkins.

Born in Sutton Coldfield, England. Trained in Tae Kwon Do and Kickboxing, with additional training in Ninjutsu, Krav Maga, Karate, Wushu, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Jujutsu, Muay Thai, Capoeira and Gymnastics.

With now more than 20 years of experience in the action/martial arts genres, Scott Adkins has simultaneously become the successor to the Western martial arts actors like Jean-Claude Van Damme (the two have worked together on multiple occasions) and the great bootmasters of old, like Yuen Biao, Tan Tao-Liang and Legendary Superkicker Hwang Jang Lee. Much like how Donnie Yen has largely kept martial arts movies in Hong Kong alive since 2005, Adkins has become the face of Western martial arts movies over the past 15 years.

This month, we celebrate the man's career with a series of reviews of his films. Join us here at It's a Beautiful Film Worth Fighting For for the September of Scott, a marathon in which we celebrate the works of the most complete fighter ever!
