Here's a highly insightful and interesting article The Art of Fighting, as pointed out by Celina Jade:
Perhaps the greatest misconception in the martial arts world today is the more powerful and skilled a fighter becomes the greater are his chances for rivaling Bruce Lee. With all the facts pushed aside, this is not altogether illogical: if a man masters the art of kicking and punching at high speed, and can control with minute precision his own power, why shouldn't he be cut out for the movies? If we ignore minor details--like his inability to act his way out of a sopping wet paper bag--and pay close attention to the more technical aspects of filmmaking, we'll soon see why all his fighting skills are actually a handicap for an acting career. Fighting on flim requires an entirely new type of martial skill which is completely foreign to both those practicing in the dojo and those pounding each other on the ring. It can be harder to learn this type of skill than to spot an opening in an opponent's tight defense and drive home a shattering blow. For movies you must not only be an expert martial artist, but also dance to a choreographer's tune, and look better than anyone else in the process! Ray Horan >>More<<
