Please direct us to a few of those movies with quality fights scenes in your opnion. Thank you in advance...>> ^swedishfriend:

Funny, the fight scenes are some of the worst out there. reminds me of the super slow exaggerated stunt fighting from the 80's. I liked Serenity in spite of the fight scenes not because of them. There have been so many films with good fight scenes at any budget level that I am amazed how once in a while films still get made with such lame feeling action. Being flexible and acrobatic is not as important as having an intelligent use of the forces you throw around to at least look like you are putting some force into each hit VS I am touching you gently now and then you fly backwards as if a much greater force hit you. The dissonance between cause and effect is so great that it looses any impact.

Fillion is trying to bring it back!


No he's not. He wants to sure but he's telling Browncoats to save their money and not try to buy the rights of Firefly from Fox.

That's exactly what modern wushu is.

Looks more like rhythmic gymnastics than a martial art.
Anyone remember that bad '80s movie Gymkata?

In some rare forms on Aikido there are competitions.

I wrestle and box on a regular basis, with training partners from Aikido, and judo.

But for the most part I have to separate the two because there are people there that could (Kick my ass) and I could in return kick ass.

I train with military and law enforcement types, so its not the crap you would see at a demonstration.

In an environment where there are rules one can expect an outcome.

In an environment were there are no rules one can expect a death or serious maiming. We could argue the drawbacks of MMA style and Aikido Style all day, and it would be a good discourse.

"There are many styles of Wushu. One style is not better than the other, there is only difference in skill." -Jet Li's Character in Fearless.

You would never see me in a street fight, because I would either mace, taze or shoot the assailant. No reason for me to get my hands dirty.

Many of us will never see a trained person in a real fight that does not involve emotion, we will unlikely see a confrontation with Wu Wei action. Because these confrontations usually end badly, for both parties.

What I do know is that in a life and death situation we can not be sure of any thing. There is no definite outcome.

I would never want to be on the ground with any one, once on the ground we are completely weak to attacks from other opponents.

Train to end all combat with in the instant it was started.

Same YT video, btw.

I'm very torn by this movie. I love me some Jackie Chan, but I'm no Jet Li fan. I'm willing to accept some crouching tiger being that this is based on a fairytale, but I strongly prefer my martial arts flicks to stay in the realm of real-world physics... a place where Jet Li rarely goes.


Yes because Jet Li's wushu movies are full of crap ay... lol
I love both of them, yet I find Jet Li far more entertaining to watch over Jackie Chan.

Jet Li has studied different Wushu styles since childhood and has mastered around 18 different weapon forms if I remember right. Jackie Chan studied traditional Kung Fu and chinese opera acrobatic forms in his childhood at the Peking Opera school(kinda like a boot camp for future performing acrobats) and has reportedly learned Hapkido, judo, boxing, and a lot other arts over the course of making movies.
Jet Li is the only man to ever to be the Wushu World Champion five times.
My money's on Jet Li.

My 2cents lol

I'm hardly an expert on Chen, but this doesn't look especially good to my untrained eye. I think it's based on comptemporary wushu, which is very different than traditional Chen.

This gentleman, while husky, has some very nice movement that I think is pretty representative of Chen style. He's a member of the Chen family.
