Q3. WOOing

Also known as bullet ballet, gun kata, or gymnastic gunplay, this portmanteau word, refers to the style of sophisticated close-quarters gunplay seen in Hong Kong action cinema and in Western films influenced by it.

It often resembles a martial arts battle played out with firearms instead of traditional weapons. Shooting a gun from each hand, shots from behind the back, as well as the use of guns as melee weapons are some of the common moves.

Origin of the style is traced to John Woo, director of the Hong Kong film A Better Tomorrow.
