No Anticipation
One of the most important principles of animation is drastically minimized or missing over here when Bruce Lee kicks and it is Anticipation! This is because martial artist try to avoid their opponent making a prediction and startled instead. A good reference if you are doing a KungFu fighting sequence 🙂
Bat Man of Shanghai
Amazing fight sequence. I really like the style of animation and effects.
