I'm partial though as I've been in Aikido for close to 20 years, and there are a lot of Aikido techniques in the action scenes. But this was the first movie in the series where I seen what is basically the unbendable arm transition into the slap to the head.....but it was nice change up.
Most have been generic wrist locks that transition to throws. You can tell Reeves has had some training as he keeps some pretty tight circles while working.

Maybe I just need to watch it again. I get that some movies will speed scenes but my recollection is that 'the bad guys' were moving at an expected speed but Wick was slower.
It is always cool to see movies that use techniques you know. I almost never see Pancrase used in any movie. lol Muay Thai...some.
Keanu's dedication to training for his roles is admirable. Even more so that he is supposed a pretty down to earth person in real life, too.
