Dramatix:

Are there any films centered around Aikido if anyone knows of any?

The only one i know is Steven Seagal…Check out his early films when he was still skinny like Above the Law.

did some weird watchdog inspired shoot today. its probably gonna end up being 5-10 min thing in the end. reconnected with a stunt friend of mine and met another stunt guy. plan on doing some stuff later down the line, hopefully get some cool projects ive had in my head for a while off the ground. It’s my first time working with some stunt guys finally, it was good to know i actually know some things after all these years of being stuck in a dojo lol.

I spoke with someone else on here about possibly doing a 5-10 min shoot. I have some ideas as well, but really don’t know where to begin as far as shooting fight scenes. It’s basically something me and my martial arts buddies want to try out (one does Capoeira, another does TKD and I do Judo). So do you have any advice with shooting your first fight scene?

honestly i always think of a few shots, reaction shots, close up of techniques, and wide shot of the whole scene. Im literally just getting into it, i just know martial arts, i’m not a specific stylist either since ive been doing it since i was a kid. All the movie stuff ive learned from just watching behind the scene stuff and watching indy guys. i think your best bet is to watch how stunt guys in america edit their stuff and they release alot of the behind the scene stuff they do.

check out lbp chicago stunts, thousand pounds action, vlad https://www.youtube.com/user/vjvlad?feature=watch ,old zero gravity videos.

its always better to have longer scenes than choppy over edited ones.

also think logically if your doing a stunt scene…if you establish you got a capoeira guy and a tkd guy…the capoeira guy isnt gonna suddenly in the middle of the fight work the ground and then be mike tyson. you can bend the rules of styles, just dont go outlandish. id personally pick a fight style you wanna emulate in terms of stunts, do you want a jackie chan type scene, jason bourne, down and gritty realistic, ect.

Talking about doing fight scenes reminded me of see this a couple of years ago.

Just finished watchin’ The Last Dragon and now I wonder whatever happened to the remake, did they can it? If so, thank God.

I want Jackie, Donnie and Jet in a film together. And I don’t meant that one historical one that had them poster but hardlyfeatured them. Gosh, epic proportions would be so tasteful.

Thanks man. I have been into martial arts since a kid thanks to my dad exposing me to it (RIP dad). I know martial arts as in I studied Aikido and Judo but I mainly trained and competed in Judo. I have always been into wanting to film my own stuff, but really don’t know the first thing. Like you I have tons of Ideas, just not the knowledge of putting them into play. But I appreciate the insight and info, I actually showed this to some of my friends and they are digging it as well. Oh I started a FB group about everything martial arts (movies, manga, etc) so feel free to join if you like (this is for all of SRK as well). I am the admin on there so (Jim Kelly profile pic, lol).

So there really isn’t much to report in the martial arts movie vein, except that Donnie Yen is filming yet another movie. This time it is called “Last of the Best”. You can head over to HKSAR blogto see some behind the scenes shots and read the full story.

Oh and here is a teaser poster for the movie.

I’ve seen clips, but it’s not much in my opinion. He’s far from bad, though.

Dj_Hyper_Kid · 2013-08-02T03:39:34.000Z

New Hong Kong action flick is in the work. It’s called “The Feud”. It is written by Chad/Carey Hayes (The Conjuring). Not too much on who is going to be in it but since it will be big budget I am hoping for Li or Cow Yun Fat. You can head to City on Fire for the full read.

I have been somewhat interested in watching it, but was unsure. I feel like I need to watch it basically to say I have seen it.

I studied some wing chun, jeet kune do, aikido, muay Thai and some of snake and mantis. But I figured I’m mainly great at mimicking which is why I developed high in MA classes but others I’ve just picked off books or movies. I know, not great but I know something.
Plus I learned wing chunk off my dad who learned from Shaun Raudcliffe who learned of Ip Chun.
Aikido from class, jeet kune do from Bruce Lee’s book, must Thai from my dad and snake and mantis from class. I have to think of all genres in acting so you know
