What kind of martial arts action design can reflect the skills of a martial arts instructor?

This problem can actually be described by two famous martial arts instructors. I believe everyone knows Yuen Woo-Ping and Liu Jialiang, the two martial arts instructors. The two of them can only represent two completely different styles of martial arts action design in the two movies: one is freehand and the other is realistic. Therefore, when Tsui Hark directed Once Upon a Time, Lau Kar-leung was invited for the first time. When Tsui Hark came up with his own plan of action for the film, Lau Ka-leung refused outright. He said Hong Quan's disciples would laugh at this unfashionable way of playing.

Tsui Hark could only use Yuan Heping as action guide, and the actions designed after the end were also textbook models of freehand motion design. Even though it's unrealistic, Yuen Woo-ping's choreography of Once Upon a Time does make the audience feel comfortable. In addition, if you watch most of Yuan Heping's action movies, these actions are usually impossible for ordinary people to complete without other auxiliary tools, and some are even impossible to achieve in the real world.

However, art is art, and painting has its own impressionism that doesn't resemble the real thing. Liu Jialiang is completely different. Whether it is the movies directed by Mr. Liu in Shaw Brothers, or the later "Drunken Monkey" and "Drunken Master 2". The movements are all solid, and every punch hits the body for real, giving people such a real and powerful impression.

For those viewers who cannot accept the "unrealistic" action of Diao Weiya flying in the air, Liu Jialiang's work is definitely the only choice. In the end, a lot of the action direction ends up having to do with the martial arts actor. Yuen Woo-Ping and Li are a perfect couple, and Lau Ka Leung and the early Lau Ka Fai also work well together. Therefore, different styles of movies also require different martial arts guidance styles, and the skills of martial arts guidance are all reflected in the fit between martial arts design and movies.
