The Martial Arts Flow
I doubt there’s anyone who loves action movies and doesn’t like martial arts, especially the Korean style. Is there anyone? No way! Apart from the movie craft, such as adding ropes behind the scenes of movies, I just feel the Korean people can fly. I feel they’re lightweight, and that’s a gift that comes from their culture of martial arts. This is one culture I would like to learn — not just to learn but to be a part of. I feel these people have automatic self-defense features in them because martial arts make them always ready for self-defense, and they can withstand pain too.
Recently, there was a popular skit maker and influencer in Nigeria who went on holiday to learn martial arts. It all started when he began featuring martial arts in his skits, and he decided to take it further to master the real art. We saw his training videos, and they were so lovely.
I admire the art so much, and I’ve imagined myself being soaked in it, especially with the flying tricks, which are known to be tricks in movies but somehow appear so real and part of their lifestyle.
Still, in this martial arts craft, the swordsmanship is another art that interests me a lot. Let me tell you; I have gone to the farm many times with my siblings and expressed tiredness after long hours of work. In those moments, I would wish I had the swordsmanship from Korean movies, where I could just swing my sword on the farm and my portion of the field with tough grass would be cleared instantly — like magic.
No doubt, I know there are behind-the-scenes effects and graphic tricks in those movie scenes, but I think the Koreans still have the ‘magic’ in handling swords. I need that. I want to learn that skill. I want it to be a part of me.
Thanks for reading.
You are right. You can't like action movies without liking martial arts as that is where the action lies.
Yes oooh!
You must just love it!
Thanks for stopping by
You're welcome
Your bit about clearing the farm in one swing made me smile :)
Loved how you admit the tricks behind the scenes yet still want the craft.
That balance shows real self control and respect for the art.
The skit maker leveling up is proof that when you get curious and and put in reps, the moves start looking real even without wires.
If I ever learn those taekwondo kicks and swordsmansip, my weekend cleanup wont stand a chance.
You're in the spirit!😅
I've watched movies where house chores are easy-peasy for these people and though those scenes are tricks, I still feel they have the power/flow in them

Everytime I watch a Korean action movie, I always wonder how they managed to make it look easy. For me, martial arts is more than just kicks and punches and you explained it so well. I think its great when people don't only watch something they enjoy but tries to learn it. In short, I agree with everything you said 💛.
You said well.
These people make it look so easy like they mastered it from birth and not in training.😅
I wish I had the opportunity to learn too🤸
