The star of Marvel’s Iron Fist, FINN JONES, on action sequences, the power of meditation, and his newfound love for discipline.

Iron Man

What was your preparation like for the second season of Iron­Fist?

Four to five months ahead of shooting, I started working with a personal trainer, training three to four times a week. We approached weight training from a gymnastics point of view—what that means is that I’m using my own body weight to become strong. What I didn’t want to do is put on muscle, because: A) That’s not the aesthetic of the character, and B) that would make you be tight, and to be a martial artist you need to be flexible. So through using gymnastics-style training, I was able to stay lean and add muscle but also be physically flexible.

What about in terms of honing your fight skills?
