Does Henry Golding know martial arts?

Henry Golding is a British-Malaysian actor and television host. Henry Golding has admitted that he does not know martial arts, but he was able to learn the choreography for his movie.

In August 2019, Golding was cast in the title role of Snake Eyes, a spin-off from the G.I. Joe movie franchise, which was released in July 2021.

Henry Golding immersed himself in the rigorous training and intricate stunt work required to embody the titular sword-wielding warrior trained by Japanese ninjas in preparation for his role as Snake Eyes.

“Going into a movie like this, you cannot go in halfhearted,” Golding, told the Daily News. “You really have to commit because there’s so much on the line. We wanted to see the actors doing the sequences.”

“There’s none of this flourishing swords, waving it around in the air. The movements are so acute and so efficient  the way it should be, especially in the world of samurais and ninjas.”

Although Golding had trained in boxing and Muay Thai, nothing compared with the martial arts work and katana sword training he did for his new movie.
