Lights, Camera, Action! Dive into the World of Spanish Martial Arts

Cinema with Nacho Serapio and Alberto Hidalgo.

In the latest episode of our podcast, we had the immense pleasure of

speaking with two incredible talents from the Spanish film industry,

Nacho and Alberto. Both martial arts champions and now rising stars in

the world of action cinema, their journeys are nothing short of

inspiring.

In this awesome episode, Alberto and Nacho talk to Andrew Staton, senior

reporter, at the Doncaster UK Martial Arts Show.

Nacho's story is one of perseverance and passion. Growing up with a love

for action movies and martial arts, he was inspired by legends like Don

Wilson and Cynthia Rothrock. His dedication led him to win nine world

championships in martial arts, which paved the way for his entry into

the film industry. Despite a setback with a broken hand, Nacho channeled

his energy into creating his first movie, "Bullets and Katanas." This

action comedy features an impressive 50-minute one-take sequence, a

testament to Nacho's commitment to delivering an immersive experience.

The film has garnered over 20 awards and earned Nacho a place in the

Martial Arts Hall of Fame.

Alberto's journey is equally compelling. Inspired by Bruce Lee at a

young age, he pursued martial arts and acting with unwavering

determination. His collaboration with Nacho on "Bullets and Katanas" was

a fantastic experience, and it led to Nacho directing Alberto's own

film, "Hard Coin." This film blends action, comedy, and a touch of

drama, showcasing Alberto's skills both in front of and behind the

camera. With six novels to his name, Alberto's storytelling prowess

shines through in "Hard Coin," which is set to premiere at the Tag Fest

in Toledo.

The conversation also touched on the rich history of Spanish stuntmen

and their influence on the action film genre. Nacho and Alberto

highlighted the contributions of Pedro Conde and Dragon Entertainment, a

company that embodies the passion and dedication of Spanish filmmakers.

Dragon Magazine, a publication dedicated to martial arts, has been a

source of inspiration for many, including our guests.

For fans of classic action movies and martial arts, this episode is a

must-listen. Nacho and Alberto's stories are a testament to the power of

passion and perseverance. Their films, "Bullets and Katanas" and "Hard

Coin," are available on Amazon Prime UK and will soon be hitting film

festivals and platforms worldwide.

Tune in to our latest episode to hear more about their incredible

journeys, the making of their films, and their vision for the future of

Spanish martial arts cinema. Don't miss out on this action-packed and

inspiring conversation!
