There are a lot of people in the world who are very good at martial arts but that doesn't make them good screen fighters. It's almost two different disciplines.

My wife is Indonesian-Japanese... and what happened is, she found me doing a documentary on pencak silat. And through the process of doing that documentary I had fallen in love with silat and learnt enough about the culture that I could comfortably live and work in Indonesia.

What we did with 'The Raid 2' - I felt that we kind of closed that off nicely in 'The Raid 2.'
