What does it take to achieve martial arts mastery?

We asked the cast of Into The Badlands.

Lives are at stake, so I tended not to… can I swear?

The shoots are intense.

Sometimes the cameraman wears a helmet.

To Frosts surprise, he actually had to hit the stuntmen with nunchucks.

Its a shame but also thrilling to do, he says.

I have to concentrate and not kill anyone.

The cast calls it Badlands Lung.

Its a new disease.

I think AMC are in trouble, Frost jokes.

A lot of it is trust.

It helps to have someone whos presence demands it on set.

Theres something about Dee Dees face that makes you want to do really well, Frost says.

He has an insular side to him.

Youre not sure if hes really happy or mad.

This season we went more gradual.

Were more confident this time because we know the system.
