Yes, that really camp looking fighting film that's currently previewing.
I'll say this clip has not ignited my interest in watching it.

It was Never Back Down. It wasn't a bad movie really. I enjoyed it. It felt a little lame at points, but as far as movies go it was better than most of the terrible crap coming out on DVD lately.

The mighty Monarch remembers seeing a documentary on different fighting styles,
The almighty Monarch also remembers Capoeira being the most useless.

The video looks like it's a snippet from a Tekken film or something.

Capoeira = Eddie Gordo

That, and it was from a movie so I don't think that would happen IRL.
