Dude... if there was a guy hanging above you on a wire or something, shooting at you... Wushu would be the way to go. What do you mean worth nothing in a fight??
Or if someone was playing keep-away with your hat or something... next time they throw it over your head... KICK IT OUT OF THE AIR!!! BITCH!!!

"These people" are Team Ryouko and they're awesome. It's true that I don't exactly know how their moves would match up in a real martial arts battle, but their team specializes in mixing breakdancing moves with martial arts styles so I'm not really sure if you can consider them 'fighters' in the first place. They have studied a large number of real martial arts styles, however. Between all of them, they probably bring a majority of all popular martial arts styles to the team. For anyone who's interested, you can check out their website and download some videos at http://www.teamryouko.com . I've seen them perform three or four times right in front of me, and it's quite amazing. Not that most of you will care.
Oh, and you can find the names of the songs that are played in their videos from their website, I believe. They have a group make songs specifically for their team, so I doubt you would find the tracks anywhere else.
One more little side note....if you notice an incredibly buff guy in the video, he goes by the name of Havoc and he has competed in the World's Strongest Man competition. He later suffered an injury that kept him from competing in further tournaments. Now he runs a gym/dojo that seems to bring in talent like the other team members.

I care... and it is quite impressive. But I think Joe Eigo is more impressive than any one of them. Just based on videos I've seen. But the team based idea is pretty cool.

You may not like me for asking, but who is Joe Eigo? I did a search for him on Google video, and suprisingly enough, all I got back were videos of Team Ryouko.

Okay, I'm officially confused. The video you posted a link to is of Joe Eigo. This I know. I also know that he is part of Team Ryouko. So was your Joe Eigo >> these people comment made towards the first video link posted, or the link that you posted? Slap some sense into me!

Actually I don't know anything about Joe Eigo, only seen his videos and know that he was trying to bill himself as a stuntman capable of doing Jackie Chan-esque stunts and was in a live-action LOTR play in Canada... I think.
And he predates Team Ryouko if that means anything *shrug*
Although, thanks for pointing out that site, that's some impressive stuff on there as well.

Oh, okay. The videos that show up in the google search are Team Ryouko videos and I only know that because I own a lot of them. A lot of the members do stuntwork for movie actors. I know that at least one of them has actually done stuntwork for Jackie Chan (even though Jackie Chan is awesome for doing almost all his own stuntwork).

Anybody know what song that is? I have decided I like it.
Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack
Yeah, they may be flashy, but Chuck Norris could stare at them for a second, and they'd drop dead on the spot. On the off chance that one of htem was blind, it wouldn't matter. They'd still die.
