Jack Bauer/Kiefer Sutherland Of “24″ And The Art Of Fighting

Alright then, I have officially watched the first 4 episodes of this season’s “24″ with federal agent Jack Bauer, convincingly played by Kiefer Sutherland.

And yes, I am hooked again.

I actually don’t watch much TV anymore. Honestly, it can’t be more than 4 hours a  ….. week.

Now that would be a good book title, “The 4 Hour Watch Week”. And ever since I reduced it to the current consumption level, I am getting a lot more done.

But there is definitely one TV show I really do enjoy and that is “24″ which is known to be one of  the shows for adrenaline junkies (and I am not normally to be considered as such!).

Besides all the twists and turns in a “24″ script including very special effects, I of course enjoy the fight scenes with Kiefer Sutherland. I mean Jack Bauer.

I have been trying to find out what fighting style he uses to get the job done and so far I haven’t found out what it is.

To me it looks like elements of Wing Chun, JKD, Kali, Krav Maga.

Is there anybody out there reading this post who can tell me what fighting style Jack Bauer uses to make the world a safer place?

I believe it is a mix of Krav Maga and military H2H tactics. Roughly anything goes when it comes to the military and Krav Maga. Remember according to Jack’s Bio. He was a member of Delta Force I believe (could be wrong) and has training with in SWAT tactics. But I believe a lot of the tactics come from Krav Maga. Then again I could be wrong. Having been training in Krav Maga I can say that a lot of the techniques do come from Krav Maga.
