A tutorial on film fighting techniques and stunts for independent (indie) action movies. In this first episode we start with the basics of punch as part of a series on choregraphing fight scenes and stunts.

This indy mogul style film school series will cover basic stage and film fighting, martial arts techniques for movies, basic stunts, camera angles & cinematography, theory behind the action, equipment and much more. Please subscribe!

I am John Nguyen and have been acting, directing, producing and action choreographing for several years around Hollywood and the Bay Area. If you are in need of an action choreographer, drop me a line and I may be able to direct you to someone in your area.

  • Question: is there any context where you would use an actual hook (i.e. a boxing hook) for a movie fight instead of a "movie hook"? aside from a boxing scene of course

  • @lethalchickenent Yes, actually. Depending on the "flavor" of the fight. The difference in flavor between the fight scenes in say, episode 2 and episode 3 is very clear. In episode 3's fight it was dirtier and less stylized. We didn't even stack hits in that one, we instead made "pulled contacted." I'll be covering that topic in a future several-part episode on choreography =)
