allow me to interject something...i know some basic shotokan karate, as well as having had around 2 years of taekwando. I KNOW many techniques, but cannot perform them anymore due to deteoriation of skills and balance. SSJKarma has a point to some extent, but knowledge alone would not make neo an expert in martial arts in the real world.

just as neo had trouble walking when he first came out of the matrix, though he knew how to do it, he would find him self having trouble with martial arts the first time he uses them.

Further, i didnt see the movie, but this self projected EMP im hearing about would have little or no effect on ryu. EMPs may7 eventually cause cancer or complications to living tissue, but are designed to **** up electronics. That energy wave or ryu's, however, would either travel at the speed of electricity (about 1/10 or so of speed of light), or at the speed of light itself (i rather suspect it would be the speed of light). Neo in the matrix can only move faster than bullets, and would still be restricted to moving the4 speed of electricity. Thus, ryu could indeed kill him with the hadoken, in OR out of the matrix.
