His earlier movies are wonderful demonstrations of the techniques of Aikido. He is the Fred Astaire of chop suey movies in this regard. Full frame shots of fighting in real time. His first, Above The Law, is probably the best viewing of this approach to on-screen fighting. His later films, probably due to his expanding waistline, resorted to more of the typical cut/pan/fist-in-face, close-up conventional style of fight scene filming.

But........

In every scene, the guys he is not fighting at that moment in time just stand by admiringly watching his stunning skills. And after each individual is laid to waste another moves in, one at a time, to have their limbs broken or bodies thrown like rag-dolls. Very obliging of them I must say.
