Fight Quote by Gareth Evans
“There's nothing more frustrating then when you have someone who's a little bit stiff and you have to ease them into the shoot. When you're dealing with large groups of people, like if you have a fight with 18-20 people and like 5 of those are a little bit stiff, that process of trying to ease them in and be patient and encourage them is hard.”
