MLC trio fight training
I was thinking about what Cheng Yi said about fight scenes and character fighting styles being a way to express a character's state of mind and further/express character development so I thought it'd be interesting to take a look at the fight training that Cheng Yi, Xiao Shunyao, and Zeng Shunxi had to go through for Mysterious Lotus Casebook.
Couldn't find a longer clip for Cheng Yi unfortunately – what I found was shared by He Gang (Shan Gudao's actor)... although it's interesting that they apparently trained together, I guess since they're supposed to be shixiong and shidi?
Of course Shunyao and Shunxi are using different weapons (sabre vs sword) so their moves are different but you can see the strength needed for Shunyao's downwards chops and sideways slashes, and of course Shunxi has more fancy twirls XD.
