Favorite fantasy MA style

[Dirty Dog]

I don't think Bartitsu is fictional I know it is.

The folks who have been practicing Bartitsu since the late 19th Century will be shocked to hear this...

Bartitsu

Fortunately, facepalming a post that is actually correct just makes you look foolish. It won't actually trigger the apocalypse.

Bartitsu

I was originally saying Baritsu which IS fictional. Looking back I see that you spelled it Bartitsu which was real but the art of Baritsu without the first t was fictional. That has already been discussed on this thread but at first I didn't notice that you spelled it with the first t.

Neither will it trigger the apocalypse when any of my posts are facepalmed by The Three Stooges.

Actually, Bartitsu hasn't been practiced continuously since that time. It fell out of practice in the early 20th century and was revived based on Barton-Wright's manuals in the 21st century. Some of the modern British styles of jujutsu may be partially descended from Bartitsu, but there isn't an unbroken Bartitsu lineage.

Yeah not bad. I did enjoy watching Worf. Especially the scenes in the holodeck episodes

is it fictional if real people do it?

Another fantasy martial arts style that I like is Teras Kasi. If anybody doesn't know what it is, try a google search.

Nobody's mentioned Sumito, the 97 Steps, "created" by Steve Perry.

Ooh, speaking of Steve Perry, how about null-boxing? That always seemed like a fun concept.

Tertragrammaton Gun Kata

The Gun Kata was always a fave of mine. I like the idea that people will become so ingrained with gunplay that this sort of thing wouldn't be impossible.
Plus the sword combat in the film (though as always not completely correct) was at least different from the typical wushu style swordplay and did have good fundamentals.

I could imagine someone like Jerry Miculek one day turning round and saying; "Hey, I got so good I started doing Tajiquan while I was shooting"

Just found this on ooo-tube.
It's weird because even though it's fantasy, it looks quite applicable, if there were lightsabers that is. Though I don't see why some of this wouldn't work with say...a Chinese long-sword.

Ah yes the first form. Allegedly this is first instructed at Youngling level on Coruscant, probably Dantooine as well!

I never seen anyone shoot a gun both upsidedown and above there head... but I bet its a interesting site to see

Hot brass in the ear sounds like fun...

Hey, whatever turns you on, man. I don't judge.

Yeah....maybe revolvers then? Though a gas burned scalp ala chamber escape doesn't sound great either

#### ##, that was brilliant. Are they a stunt team or something. The editing and CGI is just so good. Got to be pro's right?

They are professionals. I remember seeing this a few months ago, I think they won an award for it. From their YT description:

'Jedi Ninjas' a Team2X production. Produced by James Mark and Yung Lee (GakAttack). Directed by James Mark and Justin Lovell. Action Designed by and Featuring Team2x. Visual FX by Yung Lee (GakAttack)

Jedi Ninjas was developed as a passion project to recreate the current style of Star Wars action seen in video games into live action. This style often combines elements of Force powers with the use lightsaber combat. As there are no upcoming live action Star Wars movies to this date, this was a project to make many of the fans' dreams into a reality.

Team 2X is a professional martial arts performance consisting of members with experience in Hollywood films and television. With their unique talent in creating mind blowing fight sequences and GakAttack's passion for combining Visual FX with Martial Arts action. Jedi Ninjas became the result of this collaboration.
