Yes, it seems to have some really kickass fighting scenes doesn't it? Especially when he pummels the guy - bam bam bam bam bam bam bam bam bam bam - in the blink of an eye, woah the bad guy got owned like a machine gun against a pinata. But what is this wicked sick fighting style that promotes the drummer-esque punching moves? Enter Wing Chun
Thing about Wing Chun is that it is a very real fighting style: it focuses on practical, efficient, effective moves, calculating all the time the best way to utterly decimate the enemy. "Aggresive close-range combat", as Wikipedia puts it (how very euphemistic isn't it?!).
So, if you have the time, go find a place to learn this martial art! It is spectacular to watch, and still very useful in real life.
What You Need:
- A lot of time (if you're reading this you probably do)
- A Shifu (preferably not a red panda)
- Tickets to Ip Man (to get all inspired, of course!)
- An enemy (to get even more motivation)
