Both TV and film audiences know that Jeffrey Dean Morgan can play tough guys. There are few characters on television now -- or ever -- who is a much of a switch hitter as Morgan is playing the bat-swinging Negan on "The Walking Dead."

The participants swivel about-face and continue to the next pose. Zibin Guo modified the ancient Chinese martial art to work from a seated position.

Because the second time around is an exercise in diminishing returns.
