I'm Zak Song. thanks for the lovely comments everyone 🥰
-
"I move it around and you get confused and then I STAB AT YOU!" Lmaooo I love him
-
I give his reaction 10/10. Very realistic
-
Funny how he keeps his focus on the issue at hand and does not let the movie magic get in the way. Very good job
-
This man is so positive and generous with his ratings. We all need someone in our corner like him. 10/10 guy.
-
Man like a superhero himself. Whatever movie magic you throw at him, it’s all possible and doable for him
-
He's been teaching for 26 years. Apparently picking up wushu makes one immortal as he looks 21
-
This is my Shifu here in Christchurch, New Zealand! Haha! This is awesome! I’m still learning my forms constantly and at times, he’ll get me to teach the kids the basic forms which is a great opportunity for me to see how far I’ve gone and how precise my movements are! He really is the real deal peeps and is EXACTLY how he is in real life: kind, energetic, caring, spiritual, philosophical and loves Kung Fu movies like we all do! His favourite is Scorpion Warrior/ Operation Scorpion!
-
I'm only halfway through the vid but I have to say, I adore his energy and how clearly he manages to get these points about spear combat across (speaking as a layman)! I didn't think I'd be smiling so much at a fight scene breakdown like this, I love this so much
-
i love how kungfu and wushu is like “ if you think that’s not realistic, you’re just not good enough”
-
I love how his ratings apply to his art. The physical, spiritual, and traditional aspects. It seems more focused on the realism of the movies to training as opposed to actual street fights.
-
I just love seeing all the people making fun of the guy saying, "its very realistic" to every scene without understanding that the vast majority of the movies picked for this video are classic Chinese kungfu movies with excellent choreography with actors and actresses that have trained extensively in multiple wushu styles, masters in their own rights.
-
That’s incredible. He looks 26 but he’s been TEACHING for 26 years.
-
I love his commentary and you can tell he enjoys what he does. It's great to see him have fun with it. Made my day
-
He seems like the sort of teacher who gets really excited when he gets into his subject. Like, "Here here here! Let me show you how this goes!" I love those types of teachers, they love their craft and are super eager to share that love with you. It helps keep everyones enthusiasm high just from how much enjoyment he radiates.
-
I love that after all that mastery he’s super generous with the rating and not snob about it. Love his energy as well
-
Hear him differentiate between choreography and skill? This guy is awesome
-
I just love how you can hear the passion this man has for the martial arts in the tone of his voice. Truly a Master who understands the art as well as the martial.
-
This man's energy is infectious! He is so passionate and you can tell!
-
I love how he almost got quiet when reviewing Jet Li's moves. "that's very good"
