Kick Boxer Meets US Marine

This video is being posted all over the internet as “Champion Bohemian Kick boxer meets U.S. Marine”. It is actually a scene from the movie Never Back Down, recorded by someone in the crowd.

Here’s the actual scene…

This particular style is Capoeira, which is a martial art hidden in a dance. Designed in Brazil by slaves who were restricted from learning self defense. The main problem with movies and Capoeira, is you wouldn’t be doing the flips and fancy stuff if it was self defense, instead you’d stay low to the ground and use sweeps and kicks.

The internet has been around for a good while now. Maybe it’s time to stop believing everything you see on it.

Donnie Yen vs Bruce Lee

Here’s a really cool video animation that gives us an idea at what it might look like to see legendary martial artist Bruce Lee fight Donnie Yen. The video is called A Warrior’s Dream, and it was directed by Li Jin.

A Warrior’s Dream is a 3D animated short film with photorealistic visual style. The story is about a martial artist’s combat with his imaginary opponent. The martial artist finally realized that the mightiest opponent is himself. The film ends with Bruce Lee’s calligraphy “Walk On”. Thus the director wishes Donnie Yen can walk on as a martial artist like Bruce Lee, the idol of Donnie Yen himself.
