Viking Samurai: From Stockbroker to On‑Screen Warrior
from Cinema Yūgen · host hill33kjw
In this episode, meet David Kurzhal — the Viking Samurai — as he recounts a life that leapt from the trading floor to the dojo and finally onto the silver screen. We travel through sweat-soaked training rooms and retro video store dreams to the set of Bloodstorm, where discipline, scars and flying kicks collide with Hollywood legends. Along the way he shares unlikely friendships, near-mythic fight stories, and the stubborn creed that shaped him: earn your strength. It’s a candid, pulse‑pounding conversation about legacy, nostalgia and the cost of surviving in a world that’s moved on from practical stunts — but still craves real danger and real heart.
