Which fighting style is used by Ethan Hunt in Mission Impossible 1 and 2?

Question

The fighting scenes of the movies look very cool, I was wondering in which martial arts the choreography was based?

According to a profile of the character showed in MI 1, Ethan Hunt knows Capoeira. And actually in the second movie many of his moves are capoeira-based, but he also uses lots of closed-fist punches, holds, disarms, etc. which as far as I know, capoeira doesn't have those. Any idea of from which style did that came from?

Answer 1

In MI 2 Cruise was directed by John Woo... so id assume a lot of the moves were choreographed by a Hong Kong action movie stunt crew...In MI 3, I think they used Kali.

Answer 2

movie stuff, there really is no art

Answer 3

The ancient and mysterious teachngs of L. Ron Hubbard. I heard he trained with John Travolta.

Answer 4

Hollywood! This is not REALITY!

Answer 5

Hollywood-Fu

Movie-Jitsu

Cinema-Kwon-Do
