Post Christmas Fight Update

in , ,

I briefly mentioned some new fights in the last post. I said I’d talk more about it in a week. Then missed the next week when I was supposed to talk about them. Oops. Here we go now though.

I’ve been working on two fights the last couple of months. The first one is the next fight with SJ. Towards the beginning of 2021 we filmed the fight we had started in 2019 that got delayed by COVID. Then we took some time off to work on some other stuff and then this fall got working on a new fight. A couple of Tim Hortons opened up in Shenzhen. I would have preferred Dunkin Donuts but whatever. We figured getting some donuts in a place that doesn’t have many donuts would be a good shtick for a fight. So we got working on it.

If you don’t remember SJ he was in ‘White Guy Thinks He’s Japanese,’ the fight we filmed in Japan, and the ‘Game of Death’ fight we learned. You can also check out all of his music here.

The other fight is with Raj. Raj hasn’t been in any fight videos yet but he was two videos that Alan did. He creeps in the background in ‘Healthy Living Smoothy Time,’ and absolutely steals the show in ‘The Expat Nod,’ both by our friend Alan.

We decided to go with Raj’s sort of gluttonous persona from ‘The Expat Nod’ and have the fight revolve around him eating everything at a potluck. Picking a location for that ended up being the biggest problem but I think we’ve sorted it. Since it’s his first fight we also took our time with choreography and practice to make sure we’ve got everything down.

The plan is to film both of those fights during out Chinese New Year holiday, which runs for about a month in January and February. After that we’re going to do a fight between SJ and Raj. Hopefully we’ll have time to get a good amount of practice in for that before the vacation ends. I’m particularly looking forward to this one even though I won’t be in it. I’ve wanted to try focusing on choreography and filming for awhile now. I’d originally planned to start working on over the summer but the summer ended up being not so productive. Now I’ve got a chance though.

So three fights coming up. I have one each with SJ and Raj then we’ll do a third fight with the two of them with me getting the chance to focus on the behind the scenes stuff a little more.
