David Belle's fighting moves
« on: October 03, 2008, 01:31:14 AM »
I'm impress with the fluidity and speed of his movement. He really seems to be very prepared all around.

Wow man, he's good. The way he moved at those railings at around 1:50 was awesome.

That felt like it was more than a five minute video.

Does anyone know what style he trained under?  I'm sure he had military training of some kind, but those kicks aren't from the military.

I bet Eddie (from Tekken) has his fighting style modeled after Belle...

In fact... Imagine what Belle could do with Eddie...

Eddie uses capoeira, David's style is kung-fu of some form or another...

The place with the rocks is Fontainebleau which is one of the most famous bouldering spots in the world considered by some the birthplace of bouldering which just happens to be about 20 minutes from lisses something in the water in that region or something?

As far the martial art, the hand sparring looked like Wing Chun to me but I am not sure I remember reading that David got a black belt in something during his time in india. Stephane mentioned training in a type of vietnamese kung fu as well. That is stephane in the video with him by the way.

Definitely a cool video.
