Boyka Review!  http://dansmoviereport.blogspot.com/2017/08/boyka-undisputed-4-2017-netflix-review.html




DMR: Really enjoyed Boyka, how did you get the Role of Igor, what was the casting process like, how long before you started filming after you were cast?
BA: There was no casting process really. Isaac, Tim and Scott knew me from 'Ninja: Shadow of a Tear'. I got cast 2 weeks before flying to Bulgaria to shoot the film. 

DMR: Chat about your character Igor, what motivates him?



BA: I think what motivates Igor is to stay undefeated. When Boyka shows up, it's the ultimate test for him to prove he is the undisputed champion.



DMR: How long did you train with Scott prior to the start of principle photography, did you work out some new moves?


BA: I trained 2 times with Scott prior to shooting our fight scene. I honestly did not need to think about any moves or trying to change anything because Tim Man the choreographer is amazing at his job, so I followed whatever ideas he came up with.


DMR: How many days were you on set, and what did you do in Bulgaria on your downtime?


BA: I was on set for an entire month. I had 15 shooting days and the rest was downtime, which I used to visit a bit Sofia (Bulgaria) and also hit the gym to stay in shape as much as possible.
Boyka: Undisputed 4






DMR: Have you heard talk of another Boyka or is that it?
BA: Not that I hear of. For now, it's more about supporting this one, and making sure it's making a profit.



DMR: I know you worked on several Jackie Chan projects. Chat a bit about your involvement in Bleeding Steel.
BA: I worked for Jackie Chan stunt team for 7 months on that project. It was shot between Australia, Taiwan and China. 






DMR: How do you keep your action training fresh, describe some of your techniques to keep your workout from being boring?
BA: What I do is I train 6 months in a gym doing weights and 6 months outside just doing body weight. It's a good way to shock your body by doing something different. Also when it comes to martial arts, I like to study different styles so I always try to find something new to learn.



DMR: Wrapping up, what are some of the new projects you have working for 2018?



BA: I just completed working in New Zealand on a project called 'The Legend of Monkey'. It's a Netflix TV show, that I choreographed all the fight scenes. I have a Few other projects I can't talk about yet, but you will see in a near future. Thank you Danny. for the interview


DMR: Thanks Brahim, for taking time out of your busy schedule.
