Life sends good and bad cycles to close and it is up to us to seek balance in preparation, good and bad times are fleeting, everything passes and depends on how you lead your mind, kill your monsters, reinvent yourself, find your way, and conquer your place hell won't be enough to stop you if you don't let yourself down. These fights show just that. Be a leader of your life
Man this video has gotten me through some tough years. Life was kicking my ass in the beginning just like in the scenes. But eventually through perseverance I overcame a lot of obstacles. Stumbled across this video and till this day it still hits me in the feels
I remember watching this two years ago when it came out! It's still just as awesome. Great job once again, it's a very well-done short film. It's a simple idea/concept, done in a unique way.
Loved the camerawork in this. It felt like a really cool music video so I watched it while playing Tool's Lateralus in the background. It works beautifully. I started it about 10 seconds in.
allsports100 you can learn either traditional wtf is preferred which teaches the principles etc like tae kwon do means the art of kicking and punching also do means knowledge , using our head etc. the best thing tae kwon do does for the individual is makes you play even before the first move happens training do all the counter attack techniques , forms that are built to use in real life situations , all the blocking etc really gives you a great foundation not even adding on to the reflex's you'll get from it while sparring depending on youe instructors way of sparring (old fashioned point system like itf or new one like wtf ) both are great it just depends on the teacher one thing for sure against any martial artist you will have a advantage in just being able to end the fight in one blow which is stressed on tremendously
+Cortez Freeman The bloody face is a symbol of whatever issue the character is going through when hearing devastating news on the phone... could be anything you want. Loss, depression, rejection, etc. The fighters come out as a physical form of the problem he can actually face.
Yup. Notice how he gets dealt another MAJOR blow at 7:46. It brings back old wounds, but through prolonged fighting and perseverance, the character had grown stronger, and it was not enough to hold him down for long.
hey hi Darren, what are you up to these days? I just finished watching your movie here, and noticed it was from 2014. Last time i was in contact with you, i think you were training during very late hours. hope you're doing well
Dimitri Trippenbach Moves are fine... problem is the Hong Kong style choreography... this is why this was my last fight scene in that particular style and why we don't do this type of choreography anymore.
Darque Robinson you are thinking way too much into lol Honestly there was no extra time put into any more of the 3 opponents. Choreography was determined based on how each fight flowed into the next and little by little my character improves. Main reason red beats me so easily in the beginning is simply because of the characters confusion. There are also little cues to show each fight plays out more or less the same. Hence they knock me down with the same punch or I xblock reds punch into blue or blue sidekicks me into greens kick. The idea was simply all the all the demons were connected. The races had NOTHING to do with it except we thought the colors off set it nice. That’s pretty much it. The film is left to a lot of interpretation but the fighting pace of when the character was winning or losing was more or less about the pace and progression.
Darque Robinson yes you are thinking too much into it. That’s your own thing not mine. CJ and I have fought each other on camera dozens of times with numerous outcomes due to the story that came with the fight scene. Both frank and I thought nothing of race when making this film. Whatever amount of hits you counted between any of the performers was completely coincidental. You choosing to be offended over what you choose to interpret. Keep going has nothing to do with race in the slightest. The casts diversity so happen to be how it based based who was available for filming back in 2012. That is it.
Darque Robinson if one doesn’t think to do it... they didn’t do it. So does that mean every fight scene CJ beats me up is racist to white people? Because there is a lot there too lol You are the one counting the amount of hits thinking that gauges a worth or something on race. It’s not. Merely means placement in the arc of the story and nothing else. At the end of the day I get beat up by all three and I beat them up too. That’s it.
Darque Robinson there is nothing to consider. I don’t keep track of hits based on race. It’s the pace and flow of action depending on the sequence. You are thinking far more into it than me and the other director intended. We already had the layout of the fight storyboarded before CJ was even cast. Both CJ and Orlando were replacements when we had original actors in mind. CJ being black had nothing to do with the character at all.
some kicks of taekwondo still need to be improved.... and how could someone do a 540 that close on the face?! bring some reality.... but overall you guys were fabulous. my fav. one is the hero of this video as i've seen him in an earlier video of yours in which he fight with that black guy's brother..... awesome work

This speaks to me as someone who is in recovery from substance abuse. Powerful stuff! Very well done!
I’m very happy to hear that. I love for anyone to use this as any kind of solace for whatever we are going to to press on. :)
wow that was amazing!!! You need to be recognized more!

Somgham Taekwondo
Please upload atomic eden full movie
Wow.... A nice motivation video. Really... Good work.
It's nice to see the combative practicality of capoeira strikes portrayed so skillfully.
I wouldn't personally use the word "practicality" since it's a HK hyper reality fight scene but glad you enjoyed it.
Editing ek no. Kiya h
nice video !!!
Great Video as Always! =)
song
nice video
lool. funny and chill movements.
:D
what does his bloody face represents at the beginning?
+Cortez Freeman The bloody face is a symbol of whatever issue the character is going through when hearing devastating news on the phone... could be anything you want. Loss, depression, rejection, etc. The fighters come out as a physical form of the problem he can actually face.

7:03 did he actually get knocked out?
muy bueno!!! me gusto :)
3:46 is that Kevin heart😂
Taekwondo and Kung fu King fight
6:38 - 6:46 Goosebumps X)
Or 7:47-8:02 so much symbolism with life itself.
hey hi Darren, what are you up to these days? I just finished watching your movie here, and noticed it was from 2014. Last time i was in contact with you, i think you were training during very late hours. hope you're doing well
wonderfull

Good fight scene ! Some movements could be improved though, but you guys did quite a good job :) keep up !
