Rogan wasn't kidding when he said Michael Jai White was legit. I wish this man could've had a bigger career. His the legit polar opposite of Steven Seagal.

I never got why he wasn’t bigger either. If you watch any of the low budget martial arts films he’s been in, he’s excellent on camera. Looks fast, fluid, powerful, believable. You’d think the sheer novelty of being a big muscular dude who can move like that would be worth a bigger career on its own.

[@teeemm9456]

Ax kicks were probably my highest scoring sparring attack too.

[@marvincanalles10]

He makes everything look so damn seamless

[@realQuestion]

Movies are a visual medium. The audience can learn something, but it's going to be limited to techniques that are surprising or can be conveyed in gross motions, because otherwise they can't see it or won't be paying attention anyway. I hope people know Bruce Lee's first screen tests as an adult featured movements so quick and short that, while likely effective in a real fight, they basically didn't show up on film; execs watched the footage and, to them, it just looked like people falling down. So, you've got to sell those gross motions and that visual component.

[@kristinwojtowich8902]

I've always thought Jackie Chan did real fight scenes too; I already know he does his own stunts, but do you think he has to exaggerate his fight moves as well? 🤔

[@youngsosa3110]

@@kristinwojtowich8902he definitely does and he’s a comedian so most of his fight scenes have comedic relief

[@yeejay6396]

One good example of this, to me, would be The Raid.

[@richrodriguez1356]

More importantly is how Jackie shot his fight scenes. He wanted the camera to catch the impact of each strike, as well as the technique in its entirety. Jump cuts and shaky cam are truly the death of quality fight choreography.

[@crzyprplmnky]

In addition Jackie Chan's fights have a very strong sense of rhythm. He's a Greta fighter but what he shows on film is not about hitting people but using the medium of fighting to show artistic qualities as well

[@KasumiRINA]

It also has to do with pro wrestling having fictional stories with them having to memorize lines but yeah, fight choreography is also a skill.

[@3Rayfire]

That's an excellent point. I addition to fight choreography there's also match psychology. The real fighter is trying to end the match as quickly and efficiently as possible, but for a dramatic battle between evenly matched opponents there has to be a visual demonstration of the give and take why the opponent can't be defeated swiftly, and then how you're actually going to win.

[@MrCmon113]

Actors are better at acting than non-actors?

[@MrCmon113]

​@@KasumiRINAYeah, I think it's more about saying a line that you didn't write as if you mean it. Show wrestling really doesn't have complex fight choreographies like fighting movies, but they do have a lot of lines they have to say convincingly. Also they can probably all do their own stunts.

I would never use a high kick cause if they get you in high flight your not only going down cause your balance will be off , your groin is exposed and so is the entire inside of your leg. I’ve never seen anyone use this in a street fight and win! Not to say it cant be useful in gaining distance but your body is working harder which means you will tire out quicker.
