Sweet demo and find !
So it seems that Donnie is a TKD stylist !!
LOL !
Those pad drills were carbon copy of the ones we did in TKD, small world...
actually, ya donnie yen did study tkd.
For whoso comes amongst many shall one day find that no one man is by so far the mightiest of all.
oh, lol ya. one of the things i like about donnie is that he grew up scrapping on the streets. plus his family lineage as far as martial arts goes is pretty tight.

F*cking awesome!
Someone else mentioned that he was using a lot of "Kung-fudo" so I thought that was awesome. But- like I said before, I wished that the choreographer would've picked up on the fact that he was crossing his ankles while he was doing a rear mount.
The old-school war scenes from the other movies were awesome. Probably my favorite Donnie Yen scene is the dual that he had with Jet in Hero. Everything about that scene rocked.
the clip depicted a battle between the kingdom of zhao and the kingdom of yan.
for the most part, it is accurate, the tactics and strategy of using horse driven chariot to charge in the front. they are to overwhelm the infantry formation.
so yan used long distance arrows first --
the mixture of cavalry and infantry with long spear etc etc
--
however, the technology is not accurate
at the time, they may only make bronze sword?
the armor deflects the sword??
--
some saind Qin had the strickest law and that made them strong and conquer the rest of China.
actually, it was technology. Qin made the arrows the biggest and going the most distance, Qin made better armor and swords, too.
