Then came the biggest revelation. The style had contributed to one of my most beloved movie fight scenes: the scrap between Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson) and Mr. Joshua (Gary Busey) at the end of Lethal Weapon. That scene has long been held up as an early example of mixed martial arts as well as grittier alternative to more conventional martial arts choreography. Mel Gibson had reportedly trained under a jailhouse rock expert named Dennis Newsome prior to filming the scene. The common ground between martial arts/action cinema and so-called "urban" culture were blurrier than I had ever dreamed. That a Black Man had contributed to one of the greatest fight scenes in modern film had filled me with pride



.:ohhh: I need to re-watch that fight scene.
Crazy. I just assumed it was Aikido because it looked so defensive minded

Amateur to pro boxers would make light work of these guys due to advanced footwork and conditioning. Great for taking on non-trained folks, but looks very Wing Chun-oriented...


Yup.

Sparring is everything when it comes to any fight style. That's my number one requirement when joining any type of martial arts. Do they spar? Do they compete? Do they compete against other styles?
