John Salvitti shows us the future of Martial Arts Action

John Salvitti, the Bostonian who’s been by Donnie Yen’s side since the late 80s, has just released a reel from his new Yen effort  Special ID.The trailers gave us a hint as to what kind of action to expect, but this new reel is something else entirely. Salvitti (bald head or in hat) is mixing MMA and filmmaking in ways we’ve never seen – counters are dirtier, the grappling flows, and of course all the kicks connect. Salvitti is pushing hard this time to deliver the most badass action since, well… since  Flashpoint, so we can officially credit the man with being on top of the game. Expect tons of homages and tributes to this style once  Special IDis released.
