- Hello, my name's Andrew.
I'm an actor and martial artist,
TV show the warrior, film Snake Eyes,
and upcoming film, Bullet Train with Mr. Brad Pitt.
I've been doing martial arts like
since eight nine years old, but then I had a big hiatus
when I was about 21 to just before season one The Warrior
it's been the last five, six years.
It's been a bit more of an intensive,
it's important to be light on feet to be lean,
'cause it's kind of replicating the Bruce Lee physique.
So it's a lot of explosive movements,
a lot of movement mobility with skill based stuff.
These are some of my favorite exercises,
which are good for flexibility and strength and physique,
a little glimpse into what we do on the ground floor.
We're gonna start off with animal movements.
They're mix of gorilla, dragon, crab, spider
and they're good for all over body conditioning
and just flexibility as well.
Flexibility is important.

The thing that helped change my life
in terms of turning kicks, you're just tapping this,
that 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. make try and do your best,
head, hip and heel in one line boom form.
Once you get to it, you can just snap it out.
We doing slow kicks, doing slow kicks
will help keep your form in structure
your muscle conditioning for all the small little muscles
used when you're doing kicking stuff
Good for the back, right now, we're gonna do some pad work.
For warrior, there's a lot of choreography involved
and a lot of longer shot power work
helps with memorizing choreography.
One of my habits is I tense out and use too much boot force.
And I think the main thing is to keep relaxed,
loose but firm.
Do a bit of conditioning, bit of a circuit.
If I'm not training for Warrior
we do maybe three rounds each and in Warrior
we'll anchor up for like up to five.
So we're gonna do battle ropes, landmine rotations,
ball slams and pull ups, and that'll be it for you today.
Battle ropes roughly around 10 seconds of different moves
30 seconds rest in between.
Landmine rotations
get that kind of abs going on.
Ball slams.
They just feel fun to do.
They're a fun exercise to do.
And I think a lot of people like them,
get some aggression out
that kind of stuff, might get that one that one
and again, focus in form, time under tension,
mind, muscle connection, Tut and Mim.
Okay there go.
(upbeat music)
Yeah. I prefer to do body weight stuff
just 'cause it helps with, instead of isolating,
unless you on a specific pump,
full body weight kind of stuff.
So this is only occasionally in my workout,
but in honor of Bruce Lee,
we'll do one of his favorite moves apparently,
dragon flag and pretty good for the core.
I'm doing single leg ones today.
(tense music)
All right guys.
Thank you very much for joining, as Bruce Lee said
"absorb what is useful, discard what is useless
and add what is essentially your own".
Take what you like and what is useful for you.
