Bodyguard and Assasins

Another martial art movie showcasing wushu/kung fu - martial art. I love a good kung fu flick, this is another movie I am waiting to see since Yip Man, also starring Donnie Yen.
It is interesting to see the possibility of how martial arts can be used in fights - when taken to its full potential. It is also interesting to see that this doesn't occur often in real fights, as in real fight situations, people's skills goes back to their natural instinct - skills reverts back to wild throws of fists and feet, fighting barbarically. Throwing wild punches, unbalanced stance and taking hits here and there. It is hard to bring the concept of any type of martial art and apply it in a real fight - a real situation - there and then,here and now. It all comes down to that single moment. Disciplines, techniques, skills will all go out the window along with accelerated breathing and the rush of blood surging through the vain, adrenaline makes it harded to think and make crucial judgements. Nonetheless, there are countless martial art movies that showcases what real fights could look like and I'm sure alot of us enjoy watching a good martial art flick....enjoy this spoiler fight of Chung le and Donnie Yen from the flick Bodyguards and Assasins
