Tony Jaa

[nanila]

Thai martial artist, actor, fight choreographer, stunt man. You guys...I can’t even...OMG...he renders me speechless. I have a bigger picspam than usual here, but if you really want to appreciate him properly, you should see him in motion. Not only is he a phenomenal fighter, but he does parkour as well as a lot of actual parkour practitioners. Watch this clip from Ong Bak (in which there is no wire work and no CGI throughout the film) to see what I mean: here.

Posting early due to having to get on a long-haul flight tomorrow; sorry if this comm is overwhelming your Reading page atm.

That chase scene was fan-fricking-tastic. Whew!

Ditto!

The bit where he jumps through the coil of barbed wire is my favourite. Or possibly the bit where he slides under the car. Or maybe the break-dancing kicks. I don't know. Can't choose. All too awesome.

I must admit, I've never seen that before, and I've seen a number of martial arts movies. Also, running through the panes of glass without breaking them was amusing.

Had a crush on him since I first saw Ong Bak. Lovely picspam~ &hearts

If I could get away with it, I would do a picspam of Tony Jaa every week.

What an amazing body and an inspiring man! Thanks for sharing, and I wish you a good journey. :-)

[nanila]

I wish I were capable of trusting my body as implicitly as he does, but I don't think I'll ever be that fit!

Am safely back at home now, thank you. :)

You're most welcome. Check this out. It is 14 seconds of pure awesome: Tony Jaa kicks light out of lamp-post.

Oh man, someone needs to make a gif out of that.

Lordy, that man is beautiful.

Indeed. I can't get enough of him. Check out this fight scene demonstration. He has such a cute smile: here.
