    teacher: Claudia Ochoa
    Concept and theme
    It is a film subgenre whose plot contains scenes of
    acrobatic fighting, called martial art. They cover a
    large number of different styles. This juggling has
    aroused great acceptance among spectators around the
    world.
    Argument:
     They generally have a simple plot, with the complex
    choreography performed in these films being more
    striking. They are characterized by having the
    theme of travel, where the main character goes on
    a physical or psychological journey to achieve some
    goal. A recurring theme in the search for something,
    be it an object or a prized weapon, many films also
    relate the journey of the protagonist or his
    evolution through martial arts and its influence.
    Bruce Lee
    Actors
     Bruce Lee is considered a martial arts
    legend. He was the person who
    created the Jeet Kune Do system and
    who revolutionized Kung Fu, by
    incorporating movements from other
    disciplines into his technique.

    Jackie Chan
     Jackie Chan is a Kung Fu master.
    Few know that the Hong Konger
    began his career as a stunt double
    for Bruce Lee. He has participated
    in more than 150 films and has
    performed each of his stunts.
    Likewise, the artist is famous for
    acrobatic style fights and the use
    of any object as an improvised
    fighting instrument.
    Jean-Claude Van Chuck Norris
    Damme

     Jean-Claude Van Damme trained from the age  Chuck Norris began his martial arts
    of 10 in Sjotokan Karate, a discipline that he
    training when he was part of the Air Force.
    combined with his practice of weightlifting and
    ballet. He is known as “the muscles of Thus, he has various international titles in
    Brussels” and has complementary training in Taekwondo, Karate, Jiu Jitsu and Judo.
    Taekwondo, Muay Thai and Kickboxing. Additionally, he has his own fighting
    method called Chun Kuk Do.
    History and evolution

    From the first Chinese martial arts films in the early 20th century to
    the global success of Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan, the history of
    martial arts cinema is rich and varied.
    An amateur film, it allowed us to take a look at the first film, which
    was filmed 90 years ago, a new genre that China produced.
     The Red Knight Errant is a silent film, filmed in 1927. It tells the
    story of a young woman’s revenge.
    Its impressive features

    The high kicks where extreme elasticity is


    displayed, the wide and exaggerated
    projection movements where the opponent
    practically flies, the jumps and pirouettes, in
    addition to endless exchanges of blows.
    Practically non-existent in most traditional
    martial arts
    Sound
    In any martial arts movie in which the
    protagonists have a duel with swords or
    sabers, said instruments will always make a
    “metal on metal” type sound, even if the
    instrument they make contact with is
    generally its case.
