I had planned this (combining Wing Chun in the anime) for a long time since coming onto Naruto, but I wanted to make the fights looks reasonable, I can’t just implement it randomly. I had been waiting for the appropriate chance. This fight was totally original to the anime, so without the limits of the manga and since this all happened in an ancient age, the fight should have historical element to which Chinese martial arts would be a good choice. The episode director also was pretty open and interested to my idea. When all’s said and done, it worked out and looks very good. In order to show Indora’s aggressiveness, I used some techniques of Wing Chun like : Man Sao , Bang Sao, Gaun Sao, and Chi Sao. Just like Robert Downey Jr. always wants to add some Wing Chun elements in his action scenes. (laugh)
