I'm looking for movies/doramas/manga that involve martial arts, training, fighting, etc. And if it's Rembo-like in plot, meaning that it shows how an underdog persists in his efforts and becomes a champ, that's even better

If by "Rembo" you mean "Rocky", then you should stop reading this now and go watch/read Hajime no Ippo

I was just about to post this. I heartily second this recommendation, it's a great series. Do you know if they are making any more seasons, quincy?

Umm, how 'bout like, every Japanese series ever?? ^_^

Except for the ones about tentacle rape.

Fighting shows are not really my cup of tea, I am more into slice of life comedy, so the only show I can recommend is Bamboo Blade, which has a bit of both. It is an anime about a kendo instructor training a team of five schoolgirls to win in a competition.

Seconded! Great show. Highly addictive.

High Kick Girl (movie). Fun and true to spirit of karate. Don't expect much of a plot, though!

Listen to this guy. It's the most addictive boxing manga I've ever read.

Thank you all! Looks like I have many enjoyable hours ahead of me
