You do that to? LOL. I kind of work the fight scenes out on paper and then go grab one of the guys I spar with after training and work it through. Sometimes I ask the master for some advice, he's got a tremendous amount of MMA experience, used to fight competitively in MMA bouts. I try to keep it realistic though, although you also want to make it sound good.
So if you don't mind, could you guys take a look at this part of one of my stories and see what you think. I was doing a fight training scene.
Sprained? I had to take a break for a while last year coz I pulled some leg muscles really badly doing a spin kick. Could barely drive to work for a month.
I'll take a look in a bit. One on one scenes I play out in my mind or stand there and throw a few combinations while the wife rolls her eyes and the dog looks at me like "what the fuck is he doing" but for scenes with multiple combatants I need to have some people help.
The best part of it Is I just tell them to do whatever they would normally do, not give them instructions so I've picked up some good material that way.
the sprain happened when I decided to get flashy and stand on a crate, then go into a leaping spin kick. That could never really be used in a 'natural fight' but could work in a scene. I landed badly.
Did you watch Iron fist? The only decent scenes were Colleen Wing's two cage fights. Some fairly realistic moves in those.
