Martial arts have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember.
For me, the martial arts is a search for something inside. It's not just a physical discipline.
For what level of mediocrity will you settle?
A fight can express things people might not be able to say with words.
If you've ever found yourself pushed to the limits of your tolerance... you find yourself doing some things that, from the outside, can be seen as quite insane.
It's extreme. The character comes back from the dead, and, at first he doesn't know where he is, how he got there.... How does that tie in with the physicality? I just didn't think he should be too healthy-looking, so I lost some weight for the role.
