On paper, the fighters are quite similar; both are Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belts who have adopted incredibly effective boxing-oriented styles of stand-up fighting. The glaring difference between the two is the size of their gas tank.
While Diaz has shown time and time again that he is one of the best-conditioned fighters in the sport, Penn, despite his power and technical brilliance, has tended to fade in the later rounds.
This mentality creates over-trained fighters who feel the fatigue and then train some more in a vain in an attempt to get the their snap back. Overtraining has been a plague on MMA athletes since the very beginning, but current fads in sports conditioning have turned that problem into an epidemic.
They quickly reach a point of diminishing returns. Phase IV Director of Exercise Science, Aishea Maas, MS, [pictured] showed Penn the heart rate zones he needed to train in order to lay down a foundation of increased aerobic capacity first before moving on to more intense workouts. This resulted in his ability to fight harder before burning out.

Why is diego with BJ? I thought Guida was part of his gym? NoSmilez , May 7, You must log in or sign up to reply here. Show Ignored Content. Share This Page Tweet.

That little ad I posted is part of the reason Hilo is now a Mecca for fighters and Brazilian jiu-jitsu practitioners. While I would like to take credit for B. The credit belongs entirely to B. Penn and his family. As for my skills, last year I earned my purple belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
As for my time with B. Penn and his family—what a gift! A good number of his most experienced students started with us more than 10 years ago. Good things have happened for B. Penn, but I have a feeling the best times are yet to come. Twenty years later, the Flying Dragon Villa has become more feared. Meanwhile, the swordsman's daughter, Yen Cheng Pei Pei sets out to find the brothers, end Lung's reign and make Flying Dragon Villa an honorable place again.
After uniting the five brothers, she teaches them the Five Tigers with One Heart kung fu skill to give them a fighting chance against Lung. Seeing this technique will help you understand why the Chinese are known for those amazing balancing and people-pyramid acts. During the s until retirement, Pei Pei was touted as the first queen of kung fu films and prior to a serious accident in Golden Swallow was known for doing her own stunts and fights.
Yet after the injury, a male double was used if the director wouldn't allow her to do it herself. When Pei Pei fights Tien's stunt double, who's armed with a guan dao massive blade on top of a long pole , they rock the screen with lengthy weapon exchanges captured within the same shot. To me, this is Pei Pei's best fight ever. She's relentless, smooth, and graceful, which is a difficult to do when fighting someone with a larger and heavier weapon.
Chia enters the genre like a bat out of hell on a freakazoid chopper high on Meatloaf. In what must be the most men killed by any female star in a kung fu film, the final fight is as mesmerizing as it is relentless. For nine-and-a-half minutes, Chia is surrounded by knife-wielding warriors and hatchet men trying to feed-frenzy her into oblivion.
Ultimately, it is the lady who axes the questions and when they try to lie and cheat her, she becomes the cheetah and makes them lie on the ground. Avenger uses s fight choreography while shooting the action with tight angles that create a strained sense of pugilistic claustrophobia that makes us feel Su-zhen and Chia are both fighting for their lives. With a wee background in Chinese opera combat choreography and this being Chia's debut kung fu film, it was fitting to not disrupt Chia's expectations of what the fight might look and feel like.
During the use of s choreography where hooligans would form tight circles around the hero and the non-attackers would excessively move to add motion and commotion to the fight, Chia was instructed to throw non-stop kicks and punches in all directions while spinning around like a female Olympic skater except to do it with knives and hatchets in hand. Everybody gets nailed by a sharp hatchet hammer or a pointed screwdriver knife…Su-zhen's tools of the trade.
The Mandarin title Ching Wu Men means entering the gate of knowledge of the Ching Wu martial arts school, which was created by Shanghai martial arts legend Huo Yuen-jia. Set during the Japanese occupation of Shanghai in , after the Japanese deliver a plaque with the words Sick Men of Asia written in searing black ink and Huo's top student Chen Chen Lee endures ridicule from the Japanese delegation, we're minutes away from a very important moment in fight choreography history; Lee kicking eight different bullies in one unedited shot in a Japanese karate dojo then introducing the world to a nunchaku.
Adding to the scene's steam, a reflection of Lee's disdain toward how the Japanese treated the Chinese during that era, he adds insult to injury by having some Japanese fighters wearing their hakama backwards and at the end of the nunchaku sequence, Lee defiantly poses in front of Gichin Funakoshi's father of Japanese karate portrait.
Yet Lee's ultimate powerful pervasive message of Chinese not being sick people is brilliantly depicted when Lee defeats Japanese thugs in front of Shanghai Park by splintering a wooden sign that read, "No Dogs or Chinese Allowed" with a flying kick it's a sign that never existed. Black Tavern is the best whip movie in the history of whip-moviedom. My mouth was so agape watching this film that I swallowed a thousand flies. Whip master Zhang Ku Feng is like a flamethrower full of rocket fuel.
It's on the list not for the story, but for the fight scenes that are cooler than liquid nitrogen freezing the Terminator, which includes the whacked out, Viking-helmeted, villain Hu terrorizing the Inn like an enraged bull in a ring filled of blind matadors who forgot their capes and swords. The story opens when after a drunk monk performs shu xiao ban 11 th century Chinese rap music to an inn full of vagabond, thieves, and a cryptic swordswoman that a treasure chest is heading to Black Tavern, all the rascals leave the inn with brains wrapped in greed.
At the tavern, all hell breaks loose as the menagerie of Chekhovian pseudo-heroes, back-stabbing villains, zombie men, ghosts, leopard-skin lackeys, switched women and Hu partake in increasingly lethal and inventive death scenes. Ku's choreography goes far beyond simple whip twirling circles and figure eight motions that inject a whip crack or two.
He's Quisp and Quake, and the continued use of cool sight gags stupefy our brains like how his whip uniquely beheads a woman, and when Hu attacks Ku with a pole, what follows is an outlandish kooky fight sequence featuring a wicked reverse-angle point-of-view shot of Hu holding onto his weapon for dear life while he's being lifted skyward, travels in an overhead semi-circle, lands on his back, while his face grimaces into camera the whole time, then ends up being whipped into a coffin and dragged across the ground toward several swords.
The night fight in a snowstorm between the swords-woman and Zhang is a combo whip-in-a-whip-in-a-whip crescendo with a headless horse and carriage as a wayward rolling wheel tries to crush them.
The Japanese dojo challenges the Chinese guan to a competition to draw Liang out of hiding. He complies and the dojo pays a dear price for their misplaced loss of face. Choreographer Lin You-chuan was known for creating relentless, fast-paced fights that didn't rely on perfect technique, posture, or real kung fu fighting.
My hat goes off to Wen. In earlier films, he put his body on maniacal overdrive and just kicked and scrapped his way all over the screen, not caring about what other kung fu stars thought of him. When he takes on multiple attackers in this film, each shot is pure mayhem. He's as intense as he's fun to watch, regardless of the choreography's haphazard nature and the somewhat sloppy kung fu.
The key to Lin's choreography was having Wen throw his leg in the direction of an attacker and the stuntman would react to his leg placement. As a result, Wen's not kicking at anyone, he's rapidly lifting his leg in many directions. It's flail-on-flail choreography with animalistic luster. Wen mimicking Lee's nunchaku dojo sequence with a piece of rope is so blatant that you've got to admire his audacity. Wen's rope has the same sound effect, Wen copies Lee's nunchaku movements and the fight is shot using the same camera angles.
Wen kicks the karate dojo sign like the Shanghai Park sign and a brief Bruce Li moment is a sign of things to come. The film follows the path of jujutsu expert Uyeshiba Jiro Chiba losing fights to karate expert Natori Shinbei Sonny Chiba; Jiro's brother and to the bokken -wielding sword master Okita.
Uyeshiba thus learns karate from Soubei Honda. Armed with newfound skills, Uyeshiba revenge fight plans go awry causing Shinbei' brother to commit suicide setting up a superbly orchestrated fight between two real brothers, Chiba vs. Chiba, with a hard-style karate vs. Though the fights are intensely riveting, it's the displays of true karate morality that is most memorable.
