Donnie Yen's Flash Point

I had promised to introduce my favor martial artist 's movie last time.
The name of the movie is "Flash Point", it highly emphasizes the use of MMA on the screen.
The story is less than nothing, so you may simply ignore it.

However, the action is so great. Donnie uses his broad martial art knowledge in the movie and makes the audience feeling the technique of different martial arts such Muaythai, wrestling, jitjusui and Chinese marital art. Actually, I saw him buying a lot of UFC dvd in HK.

The concept of MMA(mixed martial art) has a very long history. Since over 300 years ago, Wing Tsun is a kind of mixed martial art since it is a combination of Shaolin, BarcHaw(a white big bird), and muaythai. The master of Fok Yuen Gup was the persuader of recent Chinese martial artist(around 100 years ago)- I know you must heard about Jet Li's movie for Master Fok.

The most recent famous one must be Bruce Lee. He had a broader sense and opportunity than the ancestor, so his martial art is a more complicated combination. Many years ago, Donnie Yen was still following the path of Bruce, but after so many years struggle, now Donnie has his own style with strong traditional Chinese martial art background. (Shaolin and Taichi), I personally feel that Donnie has a more strong Chinese martial art foundation than Bruce, this is a reality.
You can compare their resume.

anyway, if you got the chance for buying this movie, you must buy it, or if you want to buy it from HK, please let me know.

No time for teaching a dish, may be later.
