Awesome reel represent for the big guys lol, all you need now is pro-footage and gettin in touch with a stunt co-ordinator. Check my channel out :) keep it up
Great job babe. I really like the 540 at the gym at 0:13, the exchange w/ Corey at 0:30, the wall hook kick at 0:50, stick exchange w/ Matt at 1:00, water kick at 1:01, Wager footage w/ spin kicks at 1:16, the kick to Deitrich at 1:23 & Extortion footage at 1:25. I think your really improving from what I've seen. Good luck babe, this was very well put together. I'm proud of you. : )
Good job Darren. Im always impressed by that flying armbar. All I would say is try adding more speed into your shots. You have the techniques down man..just need to make it look powerful...other than that, hope you get some good jobs!
@dardrex777 Not saying they're all slow...Some of the exchanges are indeed quick. Im just giving you a viewer's opinion and how to possibly enhance some of the exchanges which i saw could have been made tighter.
@8Trigramz well some of them aren't HK style... such as the bathroom fight where that was more brawl like... but I'd understand on HK stuff what you mean.
But HK is done by pretty much everyone in the indie circuit so I'm trying to lean towards other ways in order to stand out... (example: like how Micah Brock used Thai style)
@8Trigramz the way I see it... HK is done by everyone in the independent circuit and is done much better by others... no use competing when you know others do it better... so instead I do my own... I do use exchanges but it's not the bad bone of my fights... in some of my newer works I don't do exchanges at all.
I mean no offense, but for a guy your size, you move quite impressive. Great work and best of luck!
