The best martial arts TV shows all feature their version of high-octane action sequences, fighting choreography, and commanding performances from their leads that combine together to create a compelling series. The star doesn’t just need to give a compelling performance with his dialogue but also demonstrate legitimate martial arts skills and the physicality needed to pull off the sequences. The best shows will seamlessly combine all the elements to create an entertaining series that doesn’t really focus too much on the narrative or the action but creates a balance of both.
