Martial Arts in the World

This is an interesting fight I have recently found. A Capoeirista fighting in a stand-up fight k-1 rules.

Duration : 0:1:46

It was high time capoeira were represented in the big screen in all its glory. A movie just released tells the story of Besouro (The Beetle), a true myth among those who practice the Afro-Brazilian martial art/ballet. The director João Daniel Tikhomiroff had a high budget for Brazilian standards – US$ 7 million -, spent in a production that embellishes an art that is, to begin with, extremely beautiful. Several actors are true capoeiristas and their fight scenes were coreographed by Huen Chiu Ku, that previously worked in The Matrix, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and Kill Bill.

Sure big budget fight scenes with amazing choreography and special effects are great, but they pale in comparison to a fight scene that is so incredibly bad that it's good. Certain filmakers are blessed with the ability to suck and sometimes they take their level of sucking to a place that's so incredibly awful that they accidentally create a work of genius. Take Weird Al Yankovic for example. I don't think anyone can argue that UHF is one of the worst and greatest comedies of the last 200 years.


#10 Code Of The Dragon - It's easily the greatest man in a wheelchair fight scene you'll ever see.







#9 Kibakichi 2 - Apparently when werewolf samurai's fight they don't actually hit each other.






#8 La Gran Pelea - You know you've truly defeated your opponent when you can stand on top of him and do a dance routine once the fight is over.





#7 The Super Ninja - It's the longest ninja beach in the history of super ninja beach fights.




#6 9 Deaths Of A Ninja - The important thing to learn from this fight scene is that four midgets can be easily defeated when you spin them in a circle and never jump onto a box unless it's really sturdy... that's what she said.






#5 Adhisaya Piravi - Kicking heavy bags of sand at people is way easier than you think.






#4 They Live - Only John Carpenter is capable of making Roddy Piper and Keith David fight for five minutes over a pair of sunglasses.




#3 Riki-Oh - If you're ever in a Kung Fu fight and somebody rips out your intestines with their bare hands don't try to choke them with you intestines because apparently that doesn't work.





#2 Bollywood's Biggest Badass - It's like my dad always told me, don't mess with dudes who have a mustache and wear a jean jacket.





#1 Undefeatable - If a giant metal hook ends up in somebody's eye and that hook is attached to a machine that lifts the hook while it's still in the man's eye then the fight is officially over.
