    I've seen a couple of films which contain FMA's for the self defence skills of some of the charactors (The Hunted for example). Can anyone tell me if there are any other films that have FMA's in them?

    FMA in Movies

    Hi GB,

    The Blade trilogy, the Bourne trilogy, hmm, I haven't watched Taken yet, but I hear a lot of the moves are FMA like.

    Hi Bill,

    Thought that Bourne was krav maga? Theres a little bit of FMA's in Redbelt aswell which I think is Sayok kali.

    Burton Richardson put together a straight to DVD movie called "MMA Street Fighter/One Percent". I have seen nothing more than a clip on YouTube. Definitely FMA in there and they filmed part of it in Manila.

    Hawks vengeance with cass magda is silat and kali, sharkeys machine has guro inosanto cutting off burt reynolds fingers with a balisong as well as a few other scenes.big stan with rob scheider has a couple of the guys from the inosanto academy in it plus a quick cameo from dan inosanto .I like the start of big trouble in little china with jeff imada where he threatens kurt russel with the stick and knife. I heard it took a good few takes to get right

    Was the one word "Ballistic", a comment or a film?

    It was a movie.There's one particular sequence where Lucy Liu is showing off some FMA that you'll never see in a Charlie's Angels movie.

    Meh. If we listed every movie with a brief double stick sequence, etc. We'd be here all night. What with the frequent stunt work of folks like Burton Richardson, Jeff Imada, etc.

    Jeff Wincott did a couple of movies in the 90s that featured some double stick sequences. Not sure of his background though. May just have been trained by Burton Richardson for those particular scenes.

    I believe JW has a Kenpo background, although I'm not sure which which stand of Kenpo.
