Here's about Capoeira versus Muay Thai
I's the Muay Thai versus Capoeira fight from The Protector (2005) featuring Tony Jaa and Lateef Crowder. If you saw "Soul Samurai" back in February, it's clear that I've been infusing more and more of these two fighting styles into my fight choreography these days. I definitely enjoy the hard impact knees and elbow strikes of Muay Thai mixed with all the fun spinning fishtail kicks and attitude turns of Capoeira. Continuously adding new fight styles into the Vampire Cowboys' repertoire helps push myself and my actors into new realms with their skill sets as well as give our audiences a bit more splash amongst all the Kung Fu and katana work usually seen in our plays. I like to think that's what keeps our fights so exciting, you never know what new thing is gonna appear onstage. It's always fun figuring out what new style I'm gonna study and implement for the next show. Expect these two forms to stick around and evolve more for next season's Vampire Cowboys show along with a whole bunch of other new bloody fun.
