Besides specialised training like this, the general physical training to be a MCU hero is intense too.
This is fight choreography training, not martial arts training. As incredibly fit and well trained for the movie as Simu Liu was, that doesn’t make him a Kung Fu expert. The statement beside the Instagram clip @simuliu can friggin hang with top tier martial artist in the world‼️ is a bit over the top.
Instagram is inherently OTT. Actual combat training and fight choreography are different disciplines, but there’s a hell of an overlap. Jackie Chan always states that he’s an actor, not really a martial artist, but most sensible people would not want to fight Jackie chan. Sim Lui looks pretty good for an actor.
