Mixed up martial arts
Supposedly the fighting in this movie is kung fu, but all of the students wear gis, and there are katanas in the "dojo". If you make a movie with martial arts in it, at least do some research and get it right.

shareExactly, totally ridiculous. They've combined several martial arts together in this confused copy of Bend It Like Beckham.
shareExactly, totally ridiculous.Yeah sure, so ridiculous the producers have kung fu master Xian Gao appearing in it(Sifu), as well as choreographing it. The gymnastic/jumping side of things is exaggerated to underline the action component, but the majority of techniques we see demonstrated are derived from kung fu.
I need to rewatch to make sure, but I could swear I saw a Kanku on the wall. The Kanku is the symbol of Kyokushin Karate.
