Looks like 2 posted answers to htis have already been deleted but I think it was Tae Kwon Do. Tae Kwon Do originated in Korea and roughly translates to "Hand, foot fighting". With all the different martial arts fighting styles portrayed in movies these days it can be difficult to keep them separate. I took Tae Kwon Do for 2 years so can recognize it pretty easily and it is definitely different from aikedo (Stephen Segal) and kick boxing (Chuck Norris). Anyway, in another thread in this board someone else mentioned Tae Kwon Do and it looked like it to me so I would go with this.
shareI'm no expert, but I wonder if it could have been Savate. After all the movie was set in Paris and Savate is a French martial art which emphasises kicking techniques.

who plays the little twin. practices shotokan karate and wushu. he also uses parquir or free running no tae kwon do
I'm sure they were both French, can't speak for the big dude but Cyril Rafaelli (who is French) is trained in Shotokan, Wushu and Acrobatics.
The big twin was probably just trained on set. A kick is a kick no matter what style you use it for.
Bea Hamill - sorely missed by all
Somebody said it... It's without a doubt, French Savaat (Savate). You can identify it with absolution by looking at a single movement they do- just before a kick, you will see them open their hands palm up, and then quickly close them downward into a fist. This has ZERO functional value, it is merely for show. However, it is signiture to Savaat, so apparently I've proven myself wrong and it has SOME function.
sharethey are not russian they are french and the tall twin doesnt use a specific style he simply is huge and the small twin uses shotokan and acrobatics
