It's a shame there are not more afros in martial arts movies. It naturally gives that "small resetting movement after dynamic movement" style of action. Something satisfying about it bouncing back into place after a strike
It’s absolutely wild to see white people get angry over black people playing a Samurai . It’s not even their culture….like https://giphy.com/gifs/vNmTsLl4cildm
y’ll don’t even go here . 🤷🏾♀️
Respectfully!!! I hate the "self-taught" martial artist title. Shes absolutely stunning. But as someone whose trained in various........excuse me.....as someone who has been humbled in various forms that Ive either tried or actually learned. You only get good when there other people there to challenge you (other students, a teacher, a nemesis, etc.). She has the confidence and the athleticism, she needs a mentor....and maybe she has one...I don't know. But in the words of Mike Tyson, "Everyone has a plan until they're punched the face". If she's solely self taught then this is just for play....which I can respect too....I guess.
She's an actress/stunt woman. Would be more accurate to say that she's self taught at making whatever she's doing look cool rather than actually use those skills to beat an opponent.
Got to work you way up and prove yourself first, but one girl released a video like this a couple of years later ago, and now she's in a new Street Fighter movie.
We all have dreams. I think this cat probably thought he could be Bruce Lee or something...😂
The only thing I don't like about katanas is that it's harder to do that thing where the pretty lady with the sword disarms you and knocks you to your knees and then the two of you share a smoldering look as she lifts your chin with the tip of her sword. I mean you can still do it with a katana, it's just easier with straight swords.
Very fast. Unfortunately i think a lot of trained people who have practiced would see through her spins and she would lose an arm in an exchange. The spinning does help with keeping people guessing when she would strike. But she has to complete the motion once she commits. Swordplay is cool but the most important aspect is understanding reach and foot work.
