@mr-mohamed-salah ...instructions by Desh him self...
No, the instructions are by fight stunt coordinator Jeff Imada. Joey Ansah played Desh.

By the looks of it, a few. He is real fast though so it's hard to tell.

many combat techniques are a mosaic of several styles.

what bothers me the most, is the named fighting style mentioned above ^^ is hard to be found where I live.

reply

what I meant to say is that combat styles employed by department of defense are several styles put together. it isn't one, but a variety of styles.

I might be called another name Kali-escrima-kenpo are all in the same family .I think kempo is summation of the two .Kali is a stick fighting martial art kenpo shows both with and without.It's like i was taking wing chun for a bit and i learned within wing chun.There are two forms of it wing chun is a umbrella term im sure you have kenpo around you and just didnt notice.

Therefore we may call that art true at which does not seem to be art."

There's definitely theories from Wing Chun, moves from Kali, Judo, Krav Maga, and some Aikido. That's the ones that I can easily identify.

His style contains every fighting style ever created, even a few that wont be discovered for many years, he even uses some primitive mating techniques.

LOL

Bourne even knows the ancient fighting techniques of dinosaurs. Known only to its descendants.

We only think it looks like dancing

Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do is Bourne's primary fighting technique.

reply

seems to be a kind of Krav Maga - the Isreali fighting style. Only from what I've seen and have heard it described as "doing any possible thing you can do to win or survive" and to NEVER go down, because once you go down on the ground, then consider yourself dead. Bourne seems to use anything in his surroundings to defeat his opponent.

Here's yer sign.

Kali-Arnis aka Escrima was used. The fight choreographer was a student of Dan Insosanto(Who was a student of Bruce Lee). So Jeeet Kune Do probably was also involved.

reply

I have yet to figure out how this thread keeps going. If you watch the special features on the DVDs, all of them say it it Kali-Escrima choreographed by Jeff Imada who studied with Dan Inosanto, who studied with Bruce Lee. Krav Maga is in no way used by Bourne in any of the films.

I'm not British and he's certainly not intelligent.
