Things You'll Need:
- Camcorder
-
Step 1
Watch old martial arts videos to learn from the masters. Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee are the two most famous martial arts movie stars. They were exciting because they were innovative and creative. Do something no one has ever done in their routines. Use unique weapons or moves to give yours something that stands out.
-
Step 2
View professional wrestling matches to get a modern perspective on choreographing. The ending and certain major spots are planned, but most of the action is improvisational.
-
Step 3
Plan it out first in a notebook. Decide where it will take place, how many people will be in it, who will do what and how it will look.
-
Step 4
Work on it in slow motion. Practice your routine over and over. The more familiar you are with it, the faster you will be able to perform it. Once you have it memorized, you can begin to improvise and add new moves.
-
Step 5
Videotape it to improve on it. By seeing your completed routine, it is easier to make adjustments and improvements. You are your own biggest critic, so being able to view your performance will make you that much better.
