    IIRC the actors in Matrix did ~6 months of kung fu training, and Keanu did a ton of shooting training for John wick. Of course all the movie stuff is choreographed but it doesn’t mean there’s nothing behind it in all cases.

      The Lord of the Rings cast also pretty famously trained with their weapons outside of just choreography

      At least Viggo did, I might just be misremembering John Rhys-Davies beating the ass off all the orc actors during choreography
