"The fight starts and its just fucking awesome" 🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭

A real martial artist doesn't beat other artist down. He learns from them. That's what Dave is doing. Respect!

Learn if its actually effective , practically or not, there are a bunch of martial arts , but many of them is not going to be effective or practical in a real fight Remember this is a movie, not real life, punches and kicks are faster and more powerful than you think , you can't just block it with some fancy arms moves

Real martial artists also call out the bullshit. Real martial art teachers don’t put their students in danger by giving them a false sense of fighting ability.

And an effective in real life move isn't going to perform well in the box office . It works both ways. You think getting people into crowds and inspiring them is easy. This why so many UFC stars say Bruce Lee was their inspiration for doing martial arts and yet I haven't heard a single time someone being inspired by Chael sonnen. Cause it takes more than just cutting out the bs to make people want to do martial arts. That's just the truth.

7:02 "along with side kicks and eye pokes" shows Jon Jones. Yes JBJ definitely mastered those eye pokes. 😂

This is the answer to "Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu" when try to pull a thing they call 'full guard." The way IP man keeps punching every Japanese black belt into the ground. In their full guard in " BJJ" the punching they can't guard.

4:55 - well it’s easy to miss, but the real reason they’re all standing around is because Chuck Norris is moving at light speed and parrying their arms and legs so it looks like they’re standing still

This is why I love Ip Man. In a good movie, a fight is never just a fight.

This is def one of the best analyses of fight choreography I've seen on YT. It's not that difficult to find videos on stunt work or martial arts techniques, but the combination of the two isn't something you see often, especially not at this level of execution. I can totally see you collaborating with channels like Corridor Crew for some awesome work. As a lifelong fan of film AND martial arts, this was a treat. Thanks so much, man.

Do a break down on "The Raid" series!!! Iko Uwais is a life-long Martial Artist and plays the main protagonist in the films, they are amazing!

You can literally see an evolution in Officer Rama’s style. In the first one he’s a bit gun shy about doing lethal force until it’s the only thing he spends the movie doing, buuuuut he still shows the red flags of an inexperienced fighter (ex: leaving blind spots for his enemies to get a free hit), ultimately Mad Dog proves far, FAR too overwhelming that he and his brother almost died multiple times each. However, ever since his prison arc in the second, he’s been on guard so much he unknowingly unlocked the “power of paranoia” the kingpin from the first movie mentioned. He’d end up having no hesitation to use drastic measures to end a fight quickly. In fact his guilt over attacking another cop only forced him to focus his fury better. Makes sense how he’d go from survivor to hunter over the course of 2 movies

@@sara.cbc92 Certified bad opinion, I'm sorry but no. It's nowhere near the garbage produced by American film-makers that are labeled "Fight scenes". The choreography in ALL the fights within the Raid films is nothing but beauty. If you don't like them, you just obviously don't enjoy high level martial arts fights.

You somehow did the impossible and elevated my opinion on the greatness of the first Ip Man film!

This was neat, using a movie fight to find parallels in real fighting. For fun, you might find some entertaining karate fights in the Japanese film, "Kuro Obi", which also includes two characters with divergent ideologies on a collision course.

Absolutely loved this video essay. It is really interesting to see such a proficient combat sports analyst look at a martial arts film rather than a film analyst, which not that you arent, clearly now you are quite proficient in that too. I was skeptical at first but this essay was phenomenal work. Made me want to go an rewatch Ip-Man

1) I love that you were willing to openly curse without censorship because of how excited you were getting. Very funny and relatable even by itself. 2) Wing Chun (I think named after the woman Wing Chun-Li, who was the 2nd person to use it, and the 1st to master it) appears to be more defence-oriented than offense-oriented, which matches my inherent preferences (regardless of my love for offensive counter-striking off of strategic and purely defence parrying).

the way this movie was done, even though i'm not even chinese or have any affiliation with Kong fu, i was brought to tears in the climax of the movie of how well the two disciplines were depicted. this is a purely martial arts channel, and yet this must be my most favorite video yet, because it explains so perfectly what i knew about this movie when i watched it for the first time, that moves and counter moves are not merely for the sake of choreography, but rather come from the clash of two disciplines being masterfully depicted !

the eye pokes comment was absolute class 🤌

Terrific video, thanks! The interposition of UFC moments and other combat sports was really well done!

This is hammered home at my school when we discuss “traditional” techniques. My teacher is fond of saying something along the lines of “people online will make fun of this until it’s on a UFC PPV. Then they’ll claim they found a new move, Yeah… WE know it works, WE’VE been doing this for a while”

I love the video on fictional fights, because obviously the people that did choreographed that fight are very into martial arts

"...the fight starts, and it's just f*ckin' awesome" 8:35 Brilliant video (as usual), need to rewatch this classic on the weekend.

Wing Chun is great. Every attack is a block and every block is an attack. You keep moving forward so you dont get overwhelmed.

My Dad had me watch Ip Man as a kid. Seeing it examined here was a lovely Friday treat: thank you!

Exactly when I’ve been back in my Ip Man hyperfixation, I love it 🙌🙌

This was cool, i would love if you did the same for other martial arts movies like jet li’s hero

I've watched the first two movies SO many times! Awesome to see that you appreciate Ip Man as well

At first I was going to not watch the video till I saw it was you that was analyzing the video and you have delivered as usual. You breakdown concepts and even techniques that I didn't even think about when I watched the movie. Please do more videos like this cuz now I want to see it man again with a new way of seeing it

Probably the best analysis of fight choreography I've seen, Keep up the great work!

this was awesome and just you giving comparisons of real life matches with your vast knowledge is priceless, so please do more!

If you’re thinking of other martial arts movies to make videos on, next one should be Ong Bak: the Thai Warrior. Great content as per usual!

Great video! I love how you applied to what we see in the movie to real life fights and techniques with fitting footage!

Great video. I love this style. I feel like these videos will do very well. Your interesting analysis mixed with popular media is a solid combo. Im excited for the next one

Nice! This video is so concise. Talking about the entire themes of the movie but with fights. Awesome

This was fantastic. Thanks!

This was Great!! Really enjoyed it!! Thanks

great analysis! thank you

I feel like traditional martial arts are looked down upon by the modern fight community so it's great seeing examples like the oblique kick that have now been proven to be functional in modern combat sports. I hope more fighters can be open-minded and try to take techniques from traditional martial arts and apply them in the ring/octagon.

been a sub for awhile, don't recall videos such as this? Awesome series. There's so much martial arts content that can be broken down ...I look forward to more vids such as this.

Terrific video! I love this film, and your breakdown should be an "extra" on their DVD. Well done!

I truly believe this is best MA film of all time.

Your analysis is just as good as a regular fight. I like the inclusion of the regular fights.

I’ve been subscribed for a while now. Dude, you truly are brilliant. 👏

This was a great breakdown if you wanna do action id be interested in you doing the undisputed films some of the moves are unrealistic but some a genuinely good technique

So far you know what you are doing...lots of love..

Great job with the references and clips to modern combat sports. 👍 I'll add that the 10 man fight has superb editing and masterful use of close framing and shaky/blurry camera movement that's so commonly overused in so many modern action movies.

I really liked the video! I don't train, but I do watch movies, so I thought it was great. I'd definitely watch more of these if you make them

When at first you think the movie focuses on the fantastical aspects, but its really thoughtful about the martial arts!

Continue with media series. It was awesome. Got to expand horizons.

this video is awesome! thank you

This was an amazing analysis

Sheesh awesome breakdown now i wanna watch ip man

Really appreciate you giving credit to Sammo Hung, who is probably the greatest action director ever (and a hell of an action actor too) Great video, as usual.

I loved the movie outlook!

love this! please do again! some of my favorite fight scenes of recent come from the raid movies and the night comes for us. BUT also i would love to see you breakdown Ong Bak 3 where Tony Jaa uses so many different martial arts styles.

Awesome video!!! I just recently cut the cord (no more cable 😉) and found the Hi-Yah channel on Tubi. I first saw "Ip Man" there a month or two ago and have eagerly watched it every time I'm able to catch it on there...at least 3-4 times now. Every fight scene, even in the sequels (2 & 3), are quite impressive. I've become a fan of Donnie Yen as well. He seems legit to me - for whatever that's worth. Keep up the great vids and I await the next one. Thanks.

Now I gotta watch this movie

From T&T with respect, always loved this scene and great analysis too...Grading this year for my Blk Belt Shotokan Ryu.

Awesome breakdown of a great film. I've been a fan of Donnie Yen and Sammo Hung for decades. The Ip Man movies are f***ing great!

You make a movie even better with your commentary in breakdowns.

You're the Man. Best KZread I have ever seen...😀

This is one of the greatest KZread channels ever.

This movie is legendary

Nice vid! Btw have you thought about doing a video breaking down saenchai's entire style?

Great review, I love that movie.

Fantastic video Mr.Christian.

That was bad ass. I've said for years karate and kung-fu do make their appearances in mma more than people want to admit it in fact I think I've heard an oblique kick called a crossover thia kick at one point because God forbid people look at anything but boxing and muay-thia. But I never thought about the philosophy and the chines philosophy of being like water or bamboo. Bamboo yields and survives the storm while the rigid oak cracks. I wanna watch that movie again right now. I love fighting and I love movies so I'm down for more of these. Maybe Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton's different styles in Warrior or Jonathan Mahors character in Creed 3's awesome use of the cross guard and Philly shell.

Perfect analysis of one of my favorites 👌, would love to see you break down Jackie Chan's fight scene with Benny the Jet from the movie Wheels on Meals 🙏

I have to watch this movie

Loved this. Great stuff. Id love to see an original old boy martial arts breakdown bro 👍

Really cool

Great video, please do masato next

Bcos the moves he use are quick and straight to the point. No flashy tricking and flying kicks. Just low and effective kicks.

This was a great change of pace for you. If you plan on doing others i think the raid movies might be good analysis. Especially due to pencak silat not quite being as known.

Bro you gotta ride the algorithm right now! Tekken 8 is the talk of the town. Tekken related vids would be great

Excellent work. Thank you. This is an amazing film to break down.

Always thought Ip man was underrated

Excellent video👍

Does anybody else want to see this channel dissect the raid movies?

The problem is in most martial arts most people don't know how to fight in formation, a rugby team would have much better chance because they are used to attacking working together such as a scrum. Which is why small shields and long swords often lost vs the short swords and big shields of the romans, as the training involved working together in shorter more compact strikes over powerful roundhouses. Most martial arts today focus on solo fighting because that's what's more popular in todays trends. It would be interesting if there were more crowd fights 10 vs 10 as tactics would be much greater variety of skills, tactics.

The mentality of using wing Chung is very interesting to me. close combat tactics and range tactics and combinations of both to implement what will work 👍

You should do The Raid, Jackie Chan’s the drunken master or the Ong Bak series if you’re going to do more movies. 1. The raid for the brutality of Silat 2. The unorthodoxy & playfulness of Zui Quan (Drunken fist) 3. The efficacy of Muay Thai/Boran even in its theatrical form.

Great content man

Great breakdown man, really sheds some light on the less prominent aspects of the movie. Ur fucking amazing dude

Please do more fight scenes from Ip man🙏

Please analyse more fights from media. I already love the storytelling that's featured in these sequences, and you are certainly capable of finding the depth in them.

I'd love to see you do Ong Bak 2. I know the first is more highly regarded but 2's showcase of like 10 different practices (at least) has always been so cool to me! I know you don't really do weapon styles so it might be a challenge.

The fight scene with the 10 black belts is my favorite fight scene of all time

This was great! Would love to see you do a Daredevil Netflix series breakdown.

They have been great teachers beyond death

Kudos! One of your best videos yet, you did a great job tying in real world examples.

Another thing that Ip Man 1 got right is the sound design. It has the best sound design in the series. Those hits sounds crispy af

This is a very cool format. Might be cool to analyze other movies heavy in martial arts, or even just single fights sequences. I remember a fight scene from one of the Mission Impossible movies where early on the protagonist gets his leg messed up by an oblique kick and has to spend the rest of the fight dealing with that, and I thought that was a cool detail. I've heard the Boune Trilogy has relatively realistic martial arts as well, but I'd love to know if that was true or not. I've had other people recommend this movie to me before as well, it seems very good. Knowing that the style in it is super grounded makes me like the idea of it even more

Thanks very much for the review, and the thoughts about the choreography!!! The Wing Chun punch has the highest possible volume in the centerline. You can not invent another artifact for that idea-. Occupying the center line has a defense and attack property, if you are facing the opponent. So the "iconic punch" is really a concept, that changes in relation to the position of the fighters to palm strike.

I would love to see you break down more fight scenes!

Jackie has a simple concept of a multi-man assault against one opponent, his take on the subject is similar to a real-life assault, to where if your swarm by multiple opponents, no matter your skill you will get hit, however you'll dispatch a few and escape with your life in tack. In his films, he named it the Hot-touch-block, meaning... if something hot you touch it and if an object is coming in direction, in this case fist or kicks you'll immediately respond with a block or parry. The first ip film has a some what great example of this but its action is kept tight enough to where your eyes, while mesmerized will only focus on the subject at hand.❤ A great analysis vid btw👊

I love your videos, maaan💪👍👍💪😁

I'm a big fan of this new kind of content! If you're open to looking at different forms of media, there's a manga called Teppu that I would be extremely interested in seeing your take on, though it might be more difficult to make a visually entertaining video out of primarily still images.

I can't believe you covered IP MAN! I love that film (all of them,in fact)! Your critique of the film reminds me of when the immortal Gene Siskel commented to the incomparable Roger Ebert that great special effects are rendered meaningless if there is not a complementary plot/story!!!!

If you can I'd recommend Fighter In The Wind that showcases Kyokushin & Best Of The Best that showcases Tae Kwon Do.
