Steve Koepfer is a Master of Sport in Russian Sambo, and has translated his skills on the mat into a busy career as a stuntman appearing in the John Wick movies, Ray Donovan, The Blacklist, The Punisher and more.  In this conversation we go into depth about what doing stuntwork is really like, how fight scenes get choreographed, and Steve's best advice for people wanting to step into the industry. Check out Steve's school - NY Sambo - at ussambo.com and/or follow him on Instagram @sambosteve.   Also check out The Strenuous Life Podcast episode 328 to find out more about training Sambo.   Finally, a rating or a review in the podcast platform of your choice is always SUPER appreciated, so thank you if you've already done this!   Cheers, Stephan Kesting
