I did.....but I just think they sped the cameras up to show more technique.
I'm partial though as I've been in Aikido for close to 20 years, and there are a lot of Aikido techniques in the action scenes. But this was the first movie in the series where I seen what is basically the unbendable arm transition into the slap to the head.....but it was nice change up.
Most have been generic wrist locks that transition to throws. You can tell Reeves has had some training as he keeps some pretty tight circles while working.
