It looks like cypher and ironmonkey kicking the shit out of each other.

This is way too awesome to let die. *requeue

What's awesome is that Donnie Yen has MMA trainers teach him stuff when they're choreographing the fights, which is why you see things like the triangle, armbar, Ramapage-style slam, sweet Muay Thai kicks and elbows, and even the RNC at the very end.

Yeah I was seeing those grappling stuff and was like "no wonder rembar added this to his playlist; that stuff looks fucking legit."

The guy in the black jacket is doing a lot of textbook judo stuff, most of the ground pins are the same you see in tournament judo competition.

One of those MMA trainers should show him the proper way to lock in that rear naked choke.

"One of those MMA trainers should show him the proper way to lock in that rear naked choke."

Well, that and not to cross his ankles from rear mount when he's that low, and to roll his shoulders in standup, and to cut the corner on the double leg rather than shooting a tackle double, and about a million other things. Then again, if we're being realistic here, the bad guy would probably pass out after 3-5 seconds in the RNC, and then it would be 5 minutes of Donnie Yen uncomfortably trying to look badass while squeezing a limp, unconscious guy's neck.

Yeah, I noticed several of those things too. I know it's just a movie and it doesn't have to be strictly realistic, but it would have been nice if he'd escaped those holds a little faster and maybe a little lightheaded just to keep it from being so blatantly unrealistic. There's no way he'd have been able to run around slamming Donnie into various hard objects while in the triangle like he did.

I've learned to take pleasure in the slow filtering of functional martial arts into mainstream attention and media, so when I see something like Flash Point, I just nudge my training buddies and say, "Look dude, an RNC!" and then continue stuffing carcinogenic popcorn and swedish fish in my mouth in complete disobedience of any regular dietary regiment and with total disregard for my physical health.

I don't kick newbies off the mats during BJJ training for spazzing out or giving up their back. They're newbies, it's what they do. Donnie Yen is the cinematic equivalent of a no-stripe white belt. Pat him on the back, maybe mention how next time he should probably not try bench-pressing the guy from under mount, and tell him you'll see him tomorrow, same place, same time. That's how progress is made, y'know?
