Killed For Less

“Bone Breaker” fight from The Protector (2005)

 

“The elephant is a symbol of Thailand.” Said Tony Jaa of the the fighting style his character uses in The Protector “…I was inspired when I had my own elephants at home. In this movie, I wanted to show the art of the elephant combined with Muay Thai. Any direction that the enemy comes from — whether from the back, side or front — we can always use the elephant gesture to take down the enemy. If the enemy comes from the back, we use the arms as tusks to throw them on the floor, then we use the elephant’s feet to step on them.”
