If you've never watched Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon or the likes, you may feel Age Of Wushu is weird or have difficulty understanding the universe of martial arts pugilism in ancient China.
Here are some videos cut scene extracted from the movie Flying Swords Of Dragon Gate. Just go youtube and do search and you can watch the full movie with English subtiles.
Take note that such martial arts fighting are exaggerated depiction of actual Chinese martial arts where the swordsplay style, practice of internal skill, acupunture points and Qi is real.
The period that Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon was based was during Qing Dynasty (1644–1911) while Flying Swords Of Dragon Gate was the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644)
