Riverdance, without a river from Dean Noble on Vimeo.
This could only ever be called martial arts inspired because anyone who actually tries to use these moves in an actual streetfight will be in real trouble.
After years of being weaned on MA movies, monkey see monkey do, or else monkey style see monkey style do.
This is just a dance. A lot of dances use high kicks like the Irish riverdance, and also the old can can that the Alaska Yukon girls used to do.
These kicks are shoddy. I didn't even do stretching exercises before this, and wearing blue jeans.
....not bad for someone who is pushing 40.
These are not real martial arts moves. These are dance moves and also moves that could be used to resemble martial arts in the movies. Martial arts is a kind of Bertoldt Brechtian distancing device.
