MCU Black Panther Respect Thread [Updated 2/24/18]
@thevivas: Figured you might be interested in this. The fight coordinator for black panther describes T'challa as a "master of of many" fighting styles including Muay Thai and Capoeira, along with Filipino, and other styles. They wanted to create a freedom in fights to show how adaptable black panther is:
Chadwick had a video of himself doing a Filipino martial arts knife-tapping exercise that popped up on the Internet. Just because of that video people started asking if we were doing Filipino martial arts. Of course we did, but we also did Muay Thai and Capoeira and others. He had to know them all. There are a lot of action movies that relegate to one certain style, and all of the fights look the same. Because of who T’Challa is, who the character is—a master of many—we couldn’t do that. We wanted to create a freedom in the fights that showcased how adaptable T’Challa is.
If I find more stuff I'll let you know.
EDIT:
Here is a link which goes into more detail about some of the fighting styles:
“A lot of thought went into the fight choreography, which incorporates fighting styles like capoeira – a Brazilian martial art that is connected to the African art form called Angola – and also Dambe boxing (from West Africa), Senegalese wrestling, Zulu stick-fighting and mixtures of Asian styles like muay thai and harimau silat, to create the fictional heritage of Wakanda,”

@thevivas: BP also bullet timed in a tie in comic. H
@darkthunder: Yeah I need to go back and add a few more things to this.

"T’Challa wears a high-tech suit as the Black Panther, including a mask which hides his features and provides him with overall stealth capabilities. With vibranium threads woven throughout, the suit offers protection from gunfire as well as the elements, and responds to T’Challa’s smallest touch. In keeping with the panther motif, the gear also features retractable vibranium claws, night vision optics, and is ultra-light and form-fitting. In addition, the Black Panther can also absorb energy directed toward him, physical or otherwise, which may then be redirected outward for defense and offense."
"The king of Wakanda is also the recipient of the nation’s rare heart-shaped herb, which endows him with enhanced strength, speed, agility, and stamina. During a special ceremony, ingestion of the herb also opens T’Challa up to communication from his departed ancestors in the afterlife, including his late father."
