Brett Gelman is not exactly the first person you'd envision when you think of an 1980s-style action star. The comedic actor, whose acerbic roles in the acclaimed seriesestablished a loud, slightly sleazy persona, doesn't exactly scream Schwarzenegger or Sly.

He says that he trained under Master Phillip Rhee and Master Simon Rhee four days a week for three months. "It was really learning a wide variety of punches, kicks, blocks—things of this nature—so that I would have as big of a vocabulary as I could for once I started to work with our fight choreographer." Thanks to his hard work, Gelman earned a purple belt.crew into the gym to demonstrate his standard training routine with Master Phillip Rhee, who led the actor through strikes, kicks, and blocking drills on camera.
