RELEASE DATE: October 15, 2019

On October 15th, 2019, Universal is releasing the Blu-ray for Riley Stearns’ The Art of Self-Defense, a “Certified Fresh” dark comedy set in the crazy world of karate.

In The Art of Self-Defense, Casey (Jesse Eisenberg, Zombieland) just can’t seem to win. Attacked on the street, humiliated at his job and even emasculated by his dog, he joins a local karate dojo led by the enigmatic Sensei (Alessandro Nivola, Face/Off) to learn how to defend himself. In the midst of his training, Casey becomes friendly with a female instructor (Imogen Poots, Green Room) and soon realizes he is caught in a bizarre world of outcasts, fraternal rituals and hilarious hyper-masculinity.

    The sensei is…white of course, the hero is a Jew. OK. Thanks Hollywood but I’ll pass.

      Dude, I think that is part of the point. These guys are all looking at some other culture for answers. Karate will teach you how to kick, punch and bow, but 99% of the instructors won’t help you with fear and streetwise confrontations. In my experience, most karate schools are run by low lifes, and I have been to various schools for 30 years. The good ones can teach someone that already knows how to handle himself naturally, but it’s really rare that they can take a 98 LB weakling and turn him into a badass, or even competent fighter that would have the edge.

      Hey, show some respect. That sensei is Castor Troy’s brother.
