I think IвЂ™ve always been a good natural long and high jumper and played for my county whilst at school. Just training it over and over until you can jump higher and higher. IвЂ™ve always been able to jump, not just training jumping specifically but just the moves that involve jumping.

It prevents you from getting injured which can happen for example if you lift a lot of weights, you can become stiff and then something snaps. How do you unwind and recuperate after a physically demanding workout or movie shoot?Д«y doing yoga. Keep improving, be consistent and youвЂ™ll reach whatever goal youвЂ™re seeking that goes for whether youвЂ™re in the gym or anything else you want to achieve. Make sure you show up! Sometimes it seems hard, but it still counts as training so just keep at it. What really effective training tip would you like to share? Now IвЂ™m fine because IвЂ™ve had time to rest and stretch to make sure I maintained my mobility. IвЂ™ve had a torn ACL, slipped disc, trapped nerves. What kind of injuries have you had and how have you worked around them? You may not know this, but I actually trained with Cyril Rafaelli (District 13) for a few months too. WhatвЂ™s the most daring stunt youвЂ™ve ever done?Дoing lots of somersaults onto crash mats, falling a few feet after doing a ninja kick around a bar, I also ran up a turnbuckle post and did an inverted-tucked somersault in Undisputed III (in the fight weвЂ™ve mentioned against Lateef Crowder). Sombre funeral ceremony scene in Ninja II Well, it became that! I think it was first done by the Korean martial arts actor, Won Jin in Operation Scorpio (aka Scorpion King). I do vary my training to keep it interesting. Short burst, fast running for twenty minute intervals helps burn fat and you can vary the speed. Then IвЂ™ll fit in some martial arts training and kicks. One session will be plyometric based: for legs I do jumps, lunges, box jumps and so on. If IвЂ™m getting ready for a film, IвЂ™ll workout five days a week including weight training three times a week. What kind of workouts do you do these days? If you can do the extravagant, sophisticated moves, youвЂ™ve also got to land them, otherwise you wonвЂ™t sell it. For example, if you do a jump-spinning back kick and follow with a roundhouse, youвЂ™ve got to make it connect otherwise people have the impression that it would never work in reality. These days thereвЂ™s a lot about вЂњtrickingвЂќ, kids are doing this stuff, I mean itвЂ™s incredible what they can do, yet I also think they need to be grounded in some kind of solid traditional/basic practices to be able to sell the technique and the move properly. Where do you think it evolves from here, whatвЂ™s next? WeвЂ™ve seen martial artistsвЂ™ physical skills and abilities become more intricate over the years, weвЂ™ve seen Jackie Chan, Donnie Yen and Tony Jaa etc all take the physical body to new heights exploring the reaches of its potential.

Undisputed III again, (the fight with capoeira expert, Lateef Crowder, heвЂ™s really fast and powerful, the transitions he can make between moves is amazing, IвЂ™d like to work with him again in the future).

Ninja II (the end fight with Kane Kosugi mentioned earlier).

Undisputed III (end fight with Marko Zaror).

IвЂ™d also like to work with Donnie Yen if possible.ДЄnd now the icing on the cake, your top three favourite fight scenes from your own movies.

WeвЂ™re the same age, both like lots of action as well as admire each otherвЂ™s work. IвЂ™d like to work alongside Tony Jaa on an equal footing. Who else would you rate as an onscreen fighter/martial artist that youвЂ™d like to work with in the future? Just look at Chinese Zodiac, itвЂ™s inventive and quintessentially Jackie! He is the Buster Keaton of his day and heвЂ™s adept at every part of film making, whether acting, directing, editing and he has put his body on the line so many times. Out of all the action stars/fighters that youвЂ™ve starred with so far, whoвЂ™s fighting style do you like the most, who do you really resonate with? To be with them on the set this time around them inspired me sharing stories with Sylvester about the Rocky movies and with Arnie on his bodybuilding days was great. Originally I was going to be in the first Expendables, but I couldnвЂ™t make it. So, can you tell us what was it like working with Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger for example on The Expendables 2? Scott Adkins and Jason Statham вЂ“ Expendables 2
