This week I’m talking to Fight Choreographer Brahim Chab.

Brahim has worked as both a stunt performer and fight choreographer alongside Jason Statham, Jackie Chan, Donnie Yen and most recently opposite Dev Patel in the Monkey Man were he starred and choreographed the fight sequences in the movie. 

I talked to Brahim about his route into fight choreography, tips for new people starting out, how he breaks down a sequence and what it was like working on Monkey Man.
