What system or style of knife fighting was used in the film "Exposure"?

John J · Apr 30, 2002

If I remember correctly, it was from Inosanto Blend. Check the credits at the end for the Fight/Stunt Choreographers. I believe I saw a familiar name from the JKD/JKDC family.

John J,
I believe the choreographer was Chris Kent. I'm not familiary with him. Does anyone know Mr. Kent and the system he taught the actors in "Exposure"?

As I thought, Chris Kent is from the JKDC family. He is featured in Mark Wiley's book, Filipino Fighting Arts Theory & Practice.

It was Chris Kent - the same basic elements of FMA found in most knife fighting tapes - they used some european terminology mostly taken from John Styers COLD STEEL. Good b-movie, even with the inaccurately translated quote from alcibades.

I recall them using a mixture of FMA and European knife fighting techniques.
