In the world of cinema, action and fight scenes are crucial elements that captivate audiences and highlight the strength of the artistic work. Mohammed Al-Fayez, founder of the Aikichun combat system, aims to revolutionize action scenes in Arab and Egyptian cinema. Al-Fayez observes that the cinema in Egypt and the Arab world heavily relies on traditional combat styles associated with characters such as thugs and bullies. He believes it is essential to update these methods to better fit diverse characters. Al-Fayez emphasizes the importance of varying combat styles to reflect character differences and details, aligning with global cinema standards.
