Sword fighting in film is not about how good the fighter is, but how good the actor receiving the blows is.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I couldn't pick up a sword and go fight anyone, let me put it that way. It's choreography and it's acting. The best sword fights you see look amazing, but it's the acting that sells it more than anything.
Sword fighting is just as fun as it looks on the screen.
Doing the sword fighting is like picking up a dance routine... I think dancing really helps with the picking up of it.
The movie style of fighting is completely exaggerated with over-the-top movements. You'd get completely hammered if you fought like that in a real fight situation.
I don't like when I watch a fight in a movie that's perfectly worded and very articulate. If you were able to be that composed, you wouldn't be fighting! Fighting in real life is sloppy.
Give me a sword fight any day.
Since I do seven different styles of martial arts, I don't foresee myself fighting the same in any two movies. I think every fighting style should fit the character that's doing the fighting.
Martial arts is not about fighting; it's about building character.
A lot of people don't realize, when you are acting in a martial arts film, you're not just performing martial arts. You're not just performing martial arts. You're actually acting as much as any other actor.
I love a good fight and I think a bad fight can ruin a movie. I really do.
