Well, it’s not exactly surprising that Keanu Reeves is trained in martial art judging the roles he’s been playing. But the surprise is how many forms he has exposed himself to. For the role of John Wick, Reeves trained in shoot wrestling, judo, sambo, jiu-jitsu, and kali which happens to be a Filipino style. For The Matrix, he trained in Kung Fu under Master Woo-Ping Yuen, learning intricate choreography and techniques. For John Wick 4, Reeves trained in Aikido as well. It’s like the scene from The Matrix when Keanu Reeves wakes up saying ‘I know Kung-fu.’.
