Aim to Misbehaive

First time shooting with powder (featuring Columbia Wushu)

This will forever be one of my favourite clips of all time. It’s veteran director, choreographer, actors and all round legend Lau Kar Leung demonstrating exactly how to choreograph a fight. Granted, it’s all staged, but it’s a small peek into the man’s process and how exactly he choreographed all his iconic films. He always understood body movement and how tight and precise each move had to be. Watch when he explains how that second tiger claw needs to pivot, knock the other guy’s hand out of the way and then strike. He does it in such a small but cool-as-shit way. By the way, the blonde haired guy is Lau Kar Leung’s real-life Hung Gar student, Mark Houghton. He’s single-handedly carrying on the Lau family lineage of Hung Gar.

Kung Fu Cub Twins

The playfighting moves of these two snow leopard cubs show why generations of kung fu masters have taken the animals as inspiration for their boxing skills.
